I kinda miss Trump's tweets though... it so much livelier with him around.. :yay: I wonder if Twitter will re-activate his account if he wins in 2024.. 🤔
It's a big improvement over the original bl.15 of course, it's even more advanced now compared to the F-16 bl.52 ID we got a few years back... but if we compare it to RSAF's original F-16 bl.52, then it's capabilities still falls short... we need newer modern fighters comparable to RSAF..
I'm a bit confused with the below news... So let's see if I my understanding is correct..
Basically we are already firm with our choice in going with the Babcock-designed Arrowhead 140 variant of the Iver Huitfeldt class frigates, but at the same time we are also still in discussions with them...

NK is already heavily sanctioned, demonized, punished due to, among others, their nuclear program... and is already internationally branded as an evil and pariah state.. So what's the point of shouting that out again...? on the other hand, the US and Australia were always the loudest ones to...
I was just correcting your statement that they were only using 50% enriched uranium which is untrue for the anglo nuke subs... also Australia is a party and strong supporter of NPT.. at least was.. Them acquiring nuke subs running with weapons grade HEU is a violation of NPT and makes Australia...
Not for US and UK nuke subs, they use 93.5% HEU... and Australia will be getting those too...

Currently, US and UK naval reactors are fueled by weapon-grade highly-enriched uranium (HEU) containing 93.5% of the...
It's a violation of NPT (which Australia is a party) for at least 2 reasons (perhaps even more) :
1. The sub reactor uses HEU which is weapons grade level instead of LEU.q
2. The submarine itself is a war machine, it is a weapon.. it may not be a "nuclear weapon", but it definitely should fall...
Weird... even the title itself is already conflicting...
US: “China bans purchase of US-made aircraft”. China holds a quarter of Boeing orders
So.. China bans purchase of US made aircraft, BUT at the same time a quarter of Boeing orders is coming from China... so which one is which..? :cuckoo:
The militarization of space (by any party) is of course worrying... but this DARC project currently seems not much more than building a bunch of (big) ground radars looking up... and I feel that those are much less of a threat compared to, say, orbital spy satellites (Radar or EO) looking...

Are they going to perform this 2-years long overhaul locally..? If yes, is this the first time we've done that eversince we received the Sukhois...? I know that routine maintenance work is already done locally...
Anyway... hopefully this will help to shut those Su haters that keeps on claiming...
Whoa..! Eventhough the ground below is nothing but desert sand, China still built the railway line elevated instead of at grade... is building an elevated railway line cheaper or faster compared to just building it on the ground..?
Even though we don't have lithium mines of our own yet, it's good that we are already working on building a lithium processing plant here..

Well.. it's speculation indeed... and you are right that it could've simply been due to our own incompetence or negligence that we haven't setup such a tech security office here... but on the other hand, there could also be valid reasons on why we can't or won't setup such an office or agreement...
I see.. so this technology security office is only to handle matters related to ToT and not for the purchase or usage of the equipment... I guess it's a relief somewhat.. If for any reason we still can't or won't set up such office, then we can still get it, just not the ToT... If that's the...
