Russia is reported to have fired an ICBM at democratic Ukraine for the first time. A strong Western response would include more military aid to Ukraine and stronger sanctions on fascist Russia. A weak response will invite more aggression from Russian dictator Vladimir Putin.
Absolutely thrilled to announce (and a bit speechless, tbh) that I have been awarded the 2024 Air & Space Power Association @AirPowerAssn Advocacy Award for promotion of air power! #avgeek
A £40m contract with @SurreySat to build and launch our Juno satellite has been announced by @DefenceHQ and @DefenceES 🛰️
Juno will be the third of our ISTARI satellites to go into orbit, after Tyche and Titania, and it's expected to launch in 2027 🚀
We need to talk about nukes. A tactical nuclear🧵1/20. When people imagine nuclear exchanges they understandably tend to focus on Doomsday scenarios - but there are plenty of smaller weapons out there - especially in Russia.
The team at the National Space Operations Centre (NSpOC) are tracking debris from the breakup of Intelsat 33E
NSpOC analysts, from @spacegovuk & UK Space Command, will continue to monitor this incident and risks to UK-licenced satellites, including @UKStratCom SKYNET satellites
Mind the Gap, a GIUK Gap🧵1/9. In a NATO-First SDR, how important is the Greenland/Iceland/UK (GIUK) gap. And what could it mean for UK force structure choices?
Join us for this insightful webinar to explore the latest trends in modern deterrence, emerging challenges & current threats.
Panel includes @DavidJ_Air, Sir Christopher Coville, Peter Watkins & Elisabeth Braw @AtlanticCouncil
🕙10:00 - 11.30
