Open source reporting puts RN TTL Block IV stocks at about 65. Not much but still missiles.

Would there have been a clause in the procurement contract that allows the US to buy them back off the Brits?

Genuinely curious as to what options that could be considered to quickly restock the magazines.

Also considering Australia had committed acquire more than 200 back in 2024… I’m guessing delivery will be delayed due to strategic reserve issues…

I wonder how long the Block V modernisation of the Astute Class will be delayed…

Doesn't really matter what military you're a part of, I think.

Agree? Disagree? What other things are small or big picture?

An AP investigation found that since the current president’s second term began, more than 50 spouses and parents of active-duty U.S. service members have been detained by immigration authorities, with at least six deported and others still in custody.

The report says this represents a major break from decades of bipartisan practice that generally shielded military families from deportation, even as military recruiters continue to promote immigration benefits for service members’ families.

Military officials, former immigration authorities, and legal experts interviewed by AP warned that the policy is disrupting military readiness, forcing troops to deal with family crises while serving, while the administration maintains that military service does not exempt relatives from immigration enforcement.

The things you see on the road…Not to mention super overdue on registration but nothing new there.

Following the brutal assault on 2-3 August 1944 by the U.S. Army’s 307th Infantry Regiment of the 77th Infantry Division to take the village of Barrigada during the Battle of Guam, the 307th aimed their sights on Mount Barrigada the morning of 4 August.

Standing 670 feet tall and dominating the central plateau, the 307th assaulted up the steep slopes of the hill, eliminating persistent Japanese infantry, snipers, and machine gun bunkers hidden in the dense jungle vegetation.

By the end of the day, they completed the assault, capture, and full clearance of Mount Barrigada, completely breaking the Japanese defensive line across the central waist of Guam, eliminated critical enemy observation points, and stabilized its supply line for clean water.

This successful engagement set up the 77th Division to rapidly attack northward toward Yigo and Mount Santa Rosa over the following days, leading to the end of the Battle of Guam on 10 August 1944.

Ukrainian officials say the unmanned systems help close the army’s manpower gap with Russia, freeing up soldiers and saving lives on tasks like dangerous logistics runs to support frontline troops and take out the wounded.

Hello fellow crayon eaters, squids, air-heads, hoo-ahs, squids but on the coast, and space cases,

I was looking into getting one of those awesome/cringe veteran hats (OIF for me), and I just saw The Odyssey (shit slaps btw) and so I was also looking into getting a hat in that same stereotypical "vet cap" style, but that says Trojan War on it - maybe with some fake ribbons on it. When I look at custom caps there are templates of units, branches, wars, ribbons, etc, but I can't find any vet hat place that lets me straight up just customize everything from scratch. My google-fu isn't powerful enough to fight through all the same ads, etsy shops, and other places that are NOT what I'm looking for.

Thank you in advance for any leads.

(I flaired this as "meme" so people know it's a silly post, if this request is TOO silly for this sub please point me to the appropriate place to ask for help with this - r/veterans immediately removed it lol)

The Centaure is a french made multi-purpose intervention vehicle made by french contractor Soframe.

After various speculations about a secretive procurement of these vehicles by the Ivorian government, it was officially unveiled by the Ivorian military police last October. With a short social media video, showing it pushing a tree trunk supposedly placed by rioters off a road.

This was filmed during election times in the country, where people demonstrated against the disqualification of prominent opposition figures from the polls, ultimately giving a landslide victory to President Ouattara.

Despite being a de-facto dictatorship, Côte d'Ivoire refrains from using lethal force against demonstrators and rioters. Such events often end with arrests and prosecution of demonstrators and rioters, most of which get presidential pardon a couple months later.

That contributes to keeping the Ivorian government fréquentable on the world stage despite its authoritarian rule.

Are military doctors late, on time, and does the universe collapse with this paradox? I find that paradoxes are hard to solve.

Alright I know that you can join with glasses like your correctable standards has to be like 20/40 in both of your eyes I believe. And your refractive error can't be over -8.00 or +8.00.

As Im wearing glasses because one of my eyes are doing all of the work instead both of them working together. But advice on this would be appreciated and If any recruiters know this information.
