British paratroopers have jumped with British parachutes from a US Air Force aircraft for the first time, developing the ability of British and American airborne forces to operate together.

The British Reaper drone conducted two attacks in succession, destroying the bunker with a GBU-12 guided bomb and then hitting Islamic State terrorists who were outside the bunker with a Hellfire missile.

A £65 million contract has been awarded to build the UK’s first three Protector drones. 

Minister Iwaya reiterated that the warship would not be an "attack aircraft carrier" capable of offensive military operations, although it's hard to see how that distinction can be made.

Earlier in the year, US Senator Tom Cotton warned that the UK’s decision to allow Huawei to build aspects of its 5G network "raises too great a risk for us to have that advanced aircraft in any nation with this system", he said speaking of US F-35 deployments in the UK.

The U.S. Air Force has awarded Boeing a nearly $1.2 billion contract to build the first lot of eight advanced F-15EX fighter jets.

HMS Queen Elizabeth and her F-35 jets have been out to sea a few times now for trials and exercises so it's hard to imagine people, especially a Member of Parliament, spreading the myth that 'the carrier has no aircraft' but here we are.

The RAF's other two RC-135 Rivet Joint jets (often referred to as Airseeker) will undergo the same programme of upgrades in due course.

On one sortie an RAF Poseidon launched simulated attacks within 10 minutes of taking over contact from a US Navy Poseidon.

The Ministry of Defence say the project to demonstration, manufacture and integrate AESA radars with the British Typhoon fleet is "continuing at pace".
