It is actually a Royal Fleet Auxiliary ship - @RFACardiganBay… A timely reminder of the RFA’s vital work globally. Yet RFA sailors say they’ve suffered a real term pay cut over 14 years that amounts to 30% - and could take strike action if @DefenceHQ don’t offer a better deal

As the first journalists inside MBDA's Storm Shadow production facility, classified "secret", we watched as a group of highly skilled technicians assembled the weapons by hand @Steven_Swinford thetimes.co.uk/article/81b0dc…
Idea: @RoyalNavy recruitment ad with actual footage from the Red Sea. This imagery is the best for 30+ years. We should be making the most of it, unapologetically. All the other good stuff the RN does is secondary to this; fighting and winning at sea. 👍🏻🇬🇧⚓️💪🏻
How whole-of-society defence works: Crown Princess Victoria is entering officers' training. At the age of 46. Everyone can do their part to keep our countries safe.
Exclusive: A Royal Navy destroyer has shot down a ballistic missile for the first time in 30 years by hitting an Iranian-made Houthi weapon fired at a merchant vessel thetimes.co.uk/article/10421d…
China has a new fleet of spy satellites that could be used to help target American and allied warships during a potential war over Taiwan, according to space chiefs from the United States thetimes.co.uk/article/china-…
After 30+ years of “peace dividends” and “no votes in defence”, we now have all of HMG promising more defence spending. But it would be so much more reassuring if it wasn’t years into a crisis, 6 months before an election and it came with a realistic funding and spending plan.

The Treasury is claiming that hitting the target of raising UK defence spending to 2.5% of GDP in 2030 amounts to a "£75 billion increase". How do they get to this £75bn number? 🤨 Thread...🧵1/9 x.com/hmtreasury/sta…

The figure announced by @RishiSunak of an extra £75bn for defence over 6 years (should he stay in power) was the only thing that made the 2.5% pledge sound meaningful. But if it’s just a fudge (⬇️) that would be staggering given the threats. Now isn’t the time for smoke & mirrors

Government deserves real credit for the defence boost & they could’ve spent the money elsewhere. But this sort of needless chicanery in presentation is what erodes public and expert trust in every such announcement.
Government deserves real credit for the defence boost & they could’ve spent the money elsewhere. But this sort of needless chicanery in presentation is what erodes public and expert trust in every such announcement.
To get the £75 billion number, the government has assumed a baseline with spending frozen in cash terms and then added up all of the differences. If you instead assume a baseline of spending frozen as a % GDP, it's an extra £20 billion over 6 years. Details here.
Amid all the tough talk by PM @RishiSunak about increasing UK defence spending, has anyone heard anything about a pay dispute with sailors in the @RoyalNavy's support fleet? If Royal Fleet Auxiliary crews go on strike it would impact the ability of the entire navy to operate...
A pledge by the PM to put the arms industry on a "war footing" & boost defence spending to 2.5% of GDP by 2030 will ring as hollow as his military unless he wins the election. So why didn't @RishiSunak make the move sooner & aim higher given the threat? news.sky.com/story/confusio…
"What is Labour's policy?" Sky's @haynesdeborah tells @SophyRidgeSky today's government announcement, to increase defence spending, has one 'big question' with the general election approaching #PoliticsHub trib.al/ftpea6d 📺 Sky 501, Virgin 602 and YouTube
Details to follow clearly, but it’s an old promise being delivered rather late and without the certainty of seeing it through. It would be nice to see where and how this is going to be spent, but Ukraine and everything supporting them has to be the immediate priority now 1/2.

The PM has put the UK defence industry on a "war footing" & plans to lift defence spending to 2.5% of GDP by 2030. But, in the small print, the only new cash this year is £500mln for Ukraine - not UK military. Everything else is after the election (or not) gov.uk/government/new…
BREAKING: UK is putting its defence industry on a "war-footing" - investing £10 billion to ramp up production- as part of a plan to increase defence spending by 2.5% by 2030, Prime Minister @RishiSunak has declared. This is a really big deal
BREAKING: The UK will increase defence spending to 2.5% of national income by 2030, the prime minister is expected to announce in a hardening of military policy at a time of growing threats. news.sky.com/story/uk-to-in…

Iron Dome has become synonymous with an Integrated Air Defence System. But, Israel’s Iron Dome is only the goalkeeper, designed to intercept short range rockets/shells in a layered system that includes Arrow 2/3 and David’s Sling (SkyCeptor) and fighter aircraft.
@grantshapps Far far too little far far too late.. Criminal levels of complacency, waste & mismanagement @haynesdeborah doing a brilliant job of dragging all this nonsense out into the open.. You have failed in a Gov's most basic purpose.
@haynesdeborah @ForcesNews @RoyalAirForce I’m all for strengthening the forces and being ex RAF it’s no surprise that I would like to see the RAF increase in size and capability. On this occasion though I think it was a common sense decision to move assets a short distance and then backfill if necessary given the timing
