"Rutte is out of his depth here IMO. Not for the first time. But the notion that Beijing will first call Moscow and ask them to "attack somewhere" before supposedly taking some sort of fully developed strategem out of the drawer invading Taiwan is a little farcical"

"@S6IFEeIijptExPr Deck space is always at a premium. Even the Viking crews back in the day had a veritable challenge with getting their allocation (previously ASW carriers were their own thing). In high intensity warfare any marginally capable platform is going to be on the chopping block"

"Lots of new images from the North Korean "multipurpose destroyer". Some equipment changes but remarkably also lots of interior pictures including CIC. Overall impression increases that interior design looks very "commercial" or civilian not the sort of furnishing of a warship"

"Sweden has turned into somewhat of a tragic poster child in how not to revitalise a domestic submarine development & construction capability. And I suspect the other shoe is yet to drop on the A26 effort"

"@Dr_M_Davis No doubt a lot of operational innovation comes out of UA. But Western companies arent too slack. Its mostly about streamlining funding & procurement process IMO in Western services. And be prepared to face redundancy in months. So large stockpiles of a product may not be wise"

"@PtkMoritz Yes I am aware of that but the Tranche designations have been used interchangeably with P4E/P5E/LTE steps in past reporting with T5 generally being tied to LTE. Meanwhile T4+ was also used eg for Spain. Making everything somewhat confusing"

"@PtkMoritz Quite frankly IMO we need to retire Tranche terminology. This is IMO just superfluous language from the original contract covering T1 to T3 as part of the original procurement. It would be better to just use Blk or similar designations for individual configs & leave it at that"

"@soil_owner @someplaosint I shared it in December last year after seeing it on SDF. But a DDS on a previously unknown or at least very new design didnt make sense to me then either"

"@DarthFreder No air force will ever return to thousands of aircraft like in WW2 or several hundreds like post 1945. This incidentally includes the Chinese or Americans. Yes we need to raise numbers but lets not kid ourselves"

"@thalex30 Its beyond the scope of Twitter (ahem X) to drill down on revenue flows. Suffice to say systems development is carried by the customer not the the vendor even if said vendor has revenue flows due to sales. This is often misunderstood when it comes to certain specifications"

"@thalex30 Put another way if say we want an evolved Eurofighter or Rafale first of all the relevant vendor will want to see an R&D-contract signed by a customer. That customer is a "parent air force" via the French German or other governments. Minor export customers won't be that"

"@GMonkey2k3 @Red_2_1 Not sure what you're trying to say I think the original question was why a separate wheeled design ie Piranha is introduced in parallel to further Boxer and CAVS"

"The decision aligns the German Navy with the development path for USN hulls. Notably it will also set the service apart from other recent international customers for AEGIS/SPY with Spain and Japan using Lockheed Martin's SPY-7 on current efforts"

"Look I am the first to emphasise that the RN has some operational issues with their CV posture. But these silly pieces deducing obsolescence for what is an aggregation of capabilities & enabler for all sorts of roles (including drones) is getting very tiresome"

"I mean. But the wider point is IMO that these prop powered MALE fixed wing UAV efforts really IMO won't result in meaningful carrier capability. It's being done mostly because it can be done quickly on the cheap & results in PR. I doubt it will be a trend at scale"

""Everything is still fluid" re decisions on how to proceed with F126 according to German MinDef. A decision on whether to transfer project management from Damen to NVL may take up to six months. Parallel "stop gap" buy of MEKO A200 considered unfeasible"

"@TomSharpe134 @Dr_M_Davis I would agree with this take. A lot of "water flowing the most convenient way" dynamics at play rather than Macchiavellian or even basic coordinative approaches"

"@Dr_M_Davis @TomSharpe134 I think we need to be careful in not projecting what "we" think is sensible in automatically applying to thinking in Moscow or Beijing. We also need to recognize that a Russian/Chinese collaboration does not necessarily assume a kind of cooperative approach practiced in parts"

"@Dr_M_Davis @TomSharpe134 .of a "multipolar order" does IMO in fact not imply serious thinking about a Chinese Russian collaborative international order "replacing" the present system. Its far more about "multipolar" & far less about "order" ie collaboration & bilateral planning"

"@Dr_M_Davis @TomSharpe134 In summary I do think any coordinative approach remains overstated. Because Beijing at the end of the day is in this for themselves and while they have faith in common interests with Moscow for now they IMO remain very sceptical about coordinated actions imposing penalties"

"@Dr_M_Davis @TomSharpe134 This is probably even more the case now that Moscow has made a dogs breakfast out of their three day special operation. The entire conduct IMO has served as a further warning sign. Every opportunity can also represent a problem. And Beijing hates risk. /end"

"@Dr_M_Davis @TomSharpe134 Trump is an interesting problem I think for China. Same way he is for Putin. His international stance remains fully unpredictable. In some regards Beijing would probably prefer someone like Biden where they know how to push what buttons. On the other hand"

"They should reestablish the Tower of London's use as prison and make it Andrew's permanent residence. Install a glass wall so tourists can gawk at him. A revenue stream and deterrent to future conduct at the same time"
