@naifudono All indications from the Dutch is they want a flat-top like Izumo class or a through deck like Ōsumi class

@Gabriel64869839 What pisses me off is there was an article resent of the RAF wanting more F-35A, Wedgetail, tankers with booms, A400M & CCA. while some of those are reasonable it is completely divoid of reality, not living within there means and some (the first two) are complete wastes of money.

@DefenceGeek It's like half the size

[Land Shark @LandSharkUK]

Melbourne has just finished it's crossrail, and now building a massive underground railway loop.

Sydney is building 3 metro lines, and a high speed railway.

Brisbane is building a Crossrail.

The level of ambition in Australia puts the UK to shame

@epelgrino If the first few Tempest are limited to anti-air then I still think it is acceptable; look at how little complaining there is on the capability limitations of Lightning.

@GarethJennings3 @NSPA_NATO @AirbusHeli @LDO_Helicopters @LockheedMartin @Sikorsky @BoeingDefense Sad to see no tandem rotor proposals.

@JohnHealey_MP Are you going to back increase defence funding that you resigned for or did being given a high position in government but you out?

[Looking for Growth @lfg_uk]

Our cash is being WASTED.

The UK spends MORE than France, Italy, and Spain for our transport.

... and yet, it is CRUMBLING.

We pay more, and have roads that resemble the moon, trains that STILL run on diesel, and ONE High Speed Line.

The cash is being WASTED. Why?

@KenKirtland17 Tenet needs to be way higher

"Cargo"

[Matija Milenovic @mat_milenovic]

Introducing Rook by @Hop_Aero (YC S26): an autonomous hypersonic cargo rocket that delivers 550 lbs up to 450 miles in ~15 minutes.

It launches from a standard 40-foot shipping container and lands on unprepared surfaces—no runways or fixed infrastructure required.

Add Singapore, Saudi Arabia, Canada, Australia, and possibly a Euro member...

Singapore in early-stage talks to join GCAP!

@DefenceEye_news Previously secret is a stretch - it is simply a rename of BAE's ACP programme, which they have been talking about for years. Flight Global did an article on it in 24'.

@LandSharkUK @uncreativetom Do a border screening pre-boarding, both ways. So that as soon as the train goes from Schengen to CTA or vis versa it is already "clean".

@NeilHoldforth @FennellJW @DefenceGeek 15bn over four years is the current settlement, but £28bn was the actual requirement
