In July 1984 the Royal Navy, RFA and RAF Nimrods conducted a TOP SECRET UK/US intelligence gathering mission in the Barents Sea. Its goal - to acquire intelligence on Soviet Navy operations, and obtain military hardware where possible. /1 (Blog at tinyurl.com/ycyp4na)
Japan MSDF is one of the rare few navies which take mine warfare very seriously, investing significantly in both minelayers (the larger ships pictured here the Uraga class, also a MCMV tender), and successive MCMV classes. Majority Indo-Pac navies pale in comparison.

@sakamura55 @ElbridgeColby @profLind @Midshipnews What if 2027 is to late?
Spring is in the air. Sort of. Very sort of.
This is an excellent start but Japan must go farther and faster. Japan has improved a lot. But we are not racing ourselves. We must match China’s extraordinary military buildup. There are no points for second place.
Most experts expressed that #Japan was not investing enough in defense like how @ElbridgeColby & @profLind stated in this article from roughly 3 years ago. As the other graphs show, Japan was lagging behind. However, all this will change by 2027! 1/2 asia.nikkei.com/Opinion/Japan-…

#Taiwan #Pelosi #OneChina #WWIII Taiwan is sovereign and must remain so. USA is right to provide HIMARS and other defensive weapons to Taiwan. I disagree with Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, etc., who semi-abandoned Taiwan for Communist China though friendship with PRC is great.
#Taiwan #SPAR19 #NancyPelosi #Pelosi Taipei - I'm stunned any American would want Taiwan's and PRC China's reunification under PRC's Communist dictatorship. Shall we use the same argument to force South Korea into Kim Jong Un's North Korea or Ukraine into Russia? No! #DemVoice1
@sakamura55 @Midshipnews Sakamura-san, I agree with you that Taiwan should be well prepared and well backed by the USA and others. But for PRC China to invade would be folly beyond even Russia's invasion of Ukraine and not worth the risk or any possible reward. x.com/usas_ww1/statu…
@USAS_WW1 Maybe, but China over the past 20 years also integrated european, US and Israeli technology. I think it would be unwise to underestimate them. More; “The critical technology tracker shows that, for some technologies, all of the world’s top 10 leading research institutions are…
@Midshipnews Good post, but the utter failure of Soviet-based technology used by Russia and to large extent by China must cause PRC to re-examine the situation.
While the world is focused on Ukraine and the middle East, we need to look at what is going on in the #SouthChinaSea . Event there are the cradle of geopolitics of the next 20 years.
#China's growing naval presence in the #SouthChinaSea is not something to be casually overlooked. #Japan plans to take part in a joint training exercise with the United States & the #Philippines in this region sometime this year. @Midshipnews 1/2 asahi.com/ajw/articles/1…
The simplest way for China to end trouble in its maritime neighborhood: China should stop making illegal claims, bring back its ships to its own 200nmi EEZ and stay away from other country's EEZ and waters. Not only will there be peace, but China will also have more friends.
It is being reported that a massive 7.5 magnitude earthquake has rocked Taiwan with a significant Tsunami expected along Taiwanese, Chinese and Japanese coastlines. There are no details of casualties nor extent of damage yet.
