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.

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.

3 days, Shirley? At least that's what Vlad the Inhaler said before his army had 600k+ killed and wounded trying to achieve it. Obviously, he remains a Master Strategist. (View Post)1
