    Swedens foreign minister in Vilnius: NATO membership would diminish defence cooperation with Finland

    A record number of Russians applied for US visas this year, so it seems you are indeed correct: When pollsters ask Russians if they like the United States, the answer is a resoundingnyet. In a survey released this week by the independent Levada Center polling group in Moscow, 71 percent said...

    The Crane, Tiger and Eagle at Play ! Exercise Malabar kicks off with US, Japanese, Indian navies

    Apart from Japan's addition and a few P-8(i)s, the whole exercise seems old:angry:. The US sent an LA class submarine (SSN 705). Not an Improved LA. Not a Seawolf. Not a Virginia. A first generation LA that was launched in 1981! It seems no one other than Japan, who even then only sent one...

    Submarine Sale will not Break Indo-Pakistan Military Balance: Chinese Media

    Pakistan already operates a French design, the Agosta 90B: It's likely that due to their familiarity and existing partnership with France, that they would opt to seek newer submarines from them. Perhaps the negotiation or construction time-table for new subs was too long, or they were too...

    Submarine Sale will not Break Indo-Pakistan Military Balance: Chinese Media

    Type 39A is Type 41, with S20 being the export designation: The official Chinese designation is 039A as the ship is based on the 039 class, but as the 039A has very little resemblance to the 039 it is commonly referred to as the Type 041. Yes, but it's a separate purchase, not included in...

    Submarine Sale will not Break Indo-Pakistan Military Balance: Chinese Media

    8 to 10 years to incorporate them into a combat capacity, not 8 to 10 years to deliver the submarines. Pakistan will have them relatively soon, but it will take time to train on the subs and implement doctrine changes to make more effective use of deep-water AIP submarines, compared to the SSC...

    Uh, Denmark and Norway are already part of NATO. Iceland too, though it's not typically included in Scandinavia. It also doesn't have a standing military, other NATO members rotate Icelandic defense assignments: Canada defends Iceland, only NATO country without an army In Scandinavia only...

    RIM-116 is a Phalanx-type defense system: Or you can combine the two and get: It is a point-defense missile system that replaces or augments Phalanx. Unless you want a compromised ship against close-in targets, you'll have a RIM-116 or equivalent. ... No Phalanx here, it's been replaced...
