This is quite concerning. NATOs Wedgetail (= AWACS replacement) programme has been afaics essentially killed by US withdrawal.
I'm not sure where this laves the UK.
NATO’s effort to replace its ageing E-3A Sentry fleet has been upended after the United States pulled out of the alliance’s planned purchase of up to six Boeing E-7 Wedgetails, leaving the programme without a strategic or financial anchor, the UK Defence Journal understands.
The Dutch Ministry of Defence confirmed that Washington withdrew from the AWACS replacement effort in July, prompting the Netherlands and several European partners to abandon the joint plan.

Yes - Trump is a congenital liar, who only engages with the voices in his head. Or the voices outside his head from the MAGA Mushrooms, who only repeat what he has told them. The Trumpologists who se… (View Post)1 -

Betting post ! What are the odds the Kemi will start blaming Mr Starmer for it? I'd say 4-1 on. (View Post)1
