@fightingsailor A really good read! I agree that the future hybrid navy needs to have as much focus on the platform as the systems and ecosystem around them. Communications is a critical part of this which has been under appreciated so far. MFW need a reset to support the hybrid architecture.
London. A meaningful and warm meeting with Prime Minister @Keir_Starmer.
During our talks, we discussed the challenges facing Ukraine and all of Europe, coordination with partners, concrete steps to strengthen Ukraine’s position, and ending the war with a just peace, along with robust security guarantees.
A principled statement of support from the Prime Minister and an important decision: today, in our presence, Ukraine and the United Kingdom signed a Loan Agreement. This loan will enhance Ukraine’s defense capabilities and will be repaid using revenues from frozen Russian assets. The funds will be directed toward weapons production in Ukraine. This is true justice – the one who started the war must be the one to pay.
I thank the people and government of the United Kingdom for their tremendous support from the very beginning of this war. We are happy to have such strategic partners and to share the same vision of what a secure future should look like for all.

Getting on for 1 and a half hours queuing @Dulles_Airport passport control and still not at the front. There are barely any counters open, it's really poor service.

@SW_Help My wife has been trying to catch a train from WAT to Farnborough for over an hour and they keep being cancelled next one now after 7. Is anything going to run to FARN tonight?!
Looking forward to the start of the @IETevents #Milsatcom conference. A chance to hear from @Thales_Alenia_S on the Italian Sicral programme. The Space Alliance will also be represented by @ThalesUK and @TelespazioUK.
