⚡Australia said Thursday the UK’s BAE Systems would build a fleet of nuclear-powered submarines, a key step in fulfilling the landmark AUKUS security pact between Canberra, London and Washington. Australia’s Submarine Agency said BAE would produce the state-of-the-art vessels, which will be delivered from the early 2040s. The agency didn’t reveal the exact number of submarines that will be built or financial details of the deal, but Australian defence officials have said the country would get at least five of the SNN-AUKUS class subs at a cost of billions of dollars. The first of the vessels are expected to be built in Britain, and later ones at a shipyard in Adelaide, South Australia. 1 Like |

⚡Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told a summit of EU leaders on Thursday that allowing unfettered access to Russian grain while capping imports from Ukraine was “unfair”. “Russian access to the European agricultural market is still unrestricted,” Zelensky said by video link. “When Ukrainian grain is thrown on the roads or railway tracks, Russian products are still being transported to Europe, as well as goods from (Vladimir) Putin’s controlled Belarus — this is not fair.” EU member states and lawmakers on Wednesday reached a deal to cap duty-free imports of a range of Ukrainian farm goods. They have been allowed in the wake of Russia’s invasion but have drawn fierce protests from farmers in the bloc. |

⚡Plans of testing a prototype Airborne High Energy Laser (AHEL) integrated on an AC-130J gunship have been tossed out by the US Air Force. "After accomplishing significant end-to-end high power operation in an open-air ground test, the AHEL solid state laser system experienced technical challenges… These challenges delayed integration onto [the] designated AC-130J Block 20 aircraft past the available integration and flight test window," The War Zone cited Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) as saying. In 2019, Lockheed Martin won the Pentagon’s five-year AHEL contract that involved supplying the laser source for the system and then helping integrate it onto an AC-130J gunship. The laser, with a beam control system, would have a 60-kilowatt power rating. But once Lockheed completed factory acceptance testing and delivered the AHEL to the AFSOC in 2021, years of delay followed. First, there were technical challenges as an older, Block 20 version of the Ghostrider, was chosen for the integration and testing. Officials worried that later integration with Block 30 might “require quite a bit of additional testing.” 1 Like
