The United Kingdom's procurement of the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II, encompassing both the F-35B and F-35A variants, reflects a complex interplay of strategic, operational, political, and industrial considerations spanning decades. The 1998 decision to select the F-35B, driven by industrial pressures and inter-service rivalries, laid the foundation for the UK's Carrier Enabled Power Projection (CEPP) capability via the Royal Navy's Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carriers. The recent announcement to procure 12 F-35A jets, as part of the planned 138 F-35s, introduces a tactical nuclear role for the Royal Air Force (RAF) within NATO's nuclear-sharing framework. This paper examines the 1998 F-35B selection, the rationale for excluding the F-35A and F-35C, the motivations for the 2025 F-35A acquisition, and the multifaceted challenges, including impacts on the Global Combat Air Programme (GCAP), infrastructure, training, sovereignty, and CEPP. It argues that while the F-35A's assignment to 207 Squadron (OCU) and short-term cost savings address immediate needs, the legacy of 1998 decisions, combined with current policy shifts, risks undermining GCAP, increasing long-term costs, and enables Lockheed Martin to exploit tensions with GCAP partners Italy and Japan, jeopardising the our strategic autonomy and future air combat capabilities. The 1998 Decision to Select the F-35B and Inter-Service Pressures The UK's commitment to the F-35B originated in the late 1990s, formalised in the 1998 Strategic Defence Review (SDR), which prioritised restoring a credible carrier strike capability lost with the retirement of the Invincible-class carriers and Sea Harrier FA2 by 2006. As a Tier 1 partner in the US-led Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) programme, the UK evaluated three F-35 variants: the F-35A (conventional take-off and landing), F-35B (Short Take-Off and Vertical Landing, STOVL), and F-35C (carrier-based, catapult-assisted take-off but arrested recovery, CATOBAR). The Royal Navy initially favoured the F-35C, which offered greater range (1,200 nautical miles versus 900 for the F-35B), higher payload, and compatibility with CATOBAR systems, aligning with ambitions for a more capable Queen Elizabeth-class carrier design. However, political and industrial pressures tipped the scales toward the F-35B. Rolls-Royce exerted significant influence, advocating for the F-35B due to its role in developing the LiftSystem for STOVL operations, securing substantial workshare and economic benefits for British industry. Other UK firms, including BAE Systems, supported the F-35B, as it ensured integration with the Queen Elizabeth-class carriers' STOVL configuration, avoiding costly CATOBAR retrofits estimated at £2 billion per carrier. The Labour government, under Tony Blair, prioritised industrial jobs and domestic manufacturing, aligning with the SDR's emphasis on economic dividends from defence spending. The F-35B's selection promised thousands of jobs in Rolls-Royce's Bristol facilities and BAE's supply chain, outweighing the Royal Navy's operational arguments for the F-35C. Inter-service rivalries further shaped the decision. The RAF, keen to consolidate its dominance in fixed-wing aviation, supported the F-35B's joint RAF-RN operation, arguing it could serve both carrier and land-based roles, simplifying logistics and training. This contrasted with the F-35C, which would have entrenched the Royal Navy-centric carrier operations. To fund the F-35B programme and the carriers' development, the MoD faced intense inter-service pressures, leading to the controversial early retirement of the Harrier fleet. The RAF lobbied to retire the Royal Navy's FA2 (Sea Harrier) by 2006, citing its limited air-to-air capabilities compared to the F-35B's multi-role potential. Subsequently, the 2010 SDSR accelerated the retirement of the RAF's Harrier GR9 fleet, completed by 2011, despite its proven effectiveness in Afghanistan and Libya. RAF leaders argued that resou...

英國在北約峰會期間宣布，將購買12架 F-35A，並強調此型戰機具備載運核武能力，彰顯英國擴大核威懾的決心。擁有海、陸、空核打擊能力，確保在承受首波核攻擊後能反擊的戰略被稱為「核三位一體」。目前雖有九國擁核，卻僅美、中、俄三國真正具備完備的「核三位一體」能力。 留言告訴我你對這一集的想法： https://open.firstory.me/user/cku2d315gwbbo0947nezjmg86/comments YT收看《寰宇全視界》

Allies can breathe a sigh of relief. The same Donald Trump who left the G7 summit early showed up on time for the NATO summit in the Netherlands – an abridged summit to curry favour and keep his undivided attention. The US president played with members' nerves, entertaining suspense over the United States' commitment to NATO's Article 5 but in the end reaffirming support for the Alliance's "all for one and one for all" clause in case of attack. After a victory lap over Iran, Trump was all smiles over Alliance members' commitment to boost defence spending to 5 percent of GDP.  It also emerged that Britain is buying 12 F-35A fighter jets made in the USA. That's music to Trump's ears, but how will the announcement go down with the likes of France, which has been arguing for Europe to reduce its dependency on Washington? And then there's Ukraine. Trump, in the end, took the meeting with Volodymyr Zelensky. But there, too, there were mixed messages: both when it comes to Russia's relentless campaign of aggression and the benefit of the doubt so often granted by Trump to Vladimir Putin.

Der F-35A wird eine Milliarde teurer. Wer ist schuld? Die USA oder Viola Amherd? Der Bund will sparen und gibt trotzdem mehr aus.

Zum ersten Mal seit dem Ende des Kalten Krieges plant Londons Premier Keir Starmer, neue atomwaffenfähige Kampfflugzeuge zu kaufen. Was das zu bedeuten hat, erklärt Korrespondentin Franziska Hoppen.

Drones flying over Air Force bases. Unidentified aerial systems evading detection. A homeland vulnerable to $1,000 weapons while billion-dollar jets sit powerless. It's not the plot of a futuristic war movie. It's the uncomfortable reality facing U.S. defense leaders today. In this episode, I'm joined by retired four-star General and former Commander of U.S. Northern Command (NORTHCOM) and NORAD, Glen VanHerck. This is an unfiltered look at the growing threats to homeland security and the urgent need to rethink how America defends its skies. With decades of experience flying F-15s, F-35s, and stealth bombers, General VanHerck has spent his career on the frontlines of aerospace defense.  But what he witnessed during his final years in command prompted him to speak out: America is not ready for the threats of today, let alone tomorrow. From the vulnerabilities exposed by drones over Langley to the ambitious "Golden Dome" missile defense initiative, General VanHerck offers an insider perspective on why policy, not just technology, is our greatest weakness and how a layered, agile, and industrial-scale approach could change the game.   You'll learn: Why low-cost drones may pose the biggest threat to U.S. national security  The real story behind the drone incursions at Langley Air Force Base  “Golden Dome” and why it's America's Manhattan Project for defense  The policy, tech, and industrial changes needed to protect critical infrastructure  How the U.S. can rebuild trust, capacity, and innovation across its defense ecosystem  Why vocational education, industrial revitalization, and AI will define the next era of defense   Golden Dome isn't just missile defense. It's a Manhattan Project-level effort. -Gen. Glen VanHerck   Guest Bio General Glen D. VanHerck is Commander, North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) and United States Northern Command (USNORTHCOM).  NORAD conducts aerospace warning, aerospace control, and maritime warning in the defense of North America.  USNORTHCOM partners to conduct homeland defense, civil support, and security cooperation to defend and secure the United States and its interests. General VanHerck is a graduate of the University of Missouri and was commissioned through the Reserve Officer Training Corps program.  He has a diverse operational and training background that includes assignments in the F-15C, F-35A, B-2A, and B-1B with over 3,200 flight hours.  He has served as an instructor pilot and flight examiner in the F-15C, B-2A, and T-6A. Additionally, he served as a U.S. Air Force Weapons School instructor in the F-15C and the B-2A. Connect with Gen.

Send us a textToday's Ones Ready Daily Drop is basically a masterclass in budget cuts, broken jets, bureaucratic gridlock, and spicy Space Force drama—with a splash of congressional nonsense and some suspicious real estate investments for good measure. Jared breaks it all down like a tactical briefing crossed with a roast.We've got $15 billion drone programs under review, a B-2 flying over Iran “just to say hi,” and service members getting offered their jobs back after being kicked out over a vaccine—because yeah, that's how leadership works now. Oh, and Space Force might finally get to move to Huntsville, so go buy some land before another general does.From Air Force “Frankenjets” stitched together in a garage like military Frankenstein, to “mil-spec” gear that barely meets minimum standards, to ISR flights over the U.S.-Mexico border triggering cartel drone wars—this drop is full of “wait, what?” energy.

For review:1. Three Israeli and Five Thai Hostages Set for Release on Thursday.In exchange for the three hostages to be freed on Thursday, Israel will free 110 Palestinian security prisoners.2. In Syria, Ahmed al-Sharaa is appointed President to lead the transitional phase. After cancelling the country's constitution passed in 2012 under the Assad regime, Mr. al-Sharaa will be authorized to form a temporary legislative council until a new constitution is drafted.3. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy and Russian President Putin trade insults while war continues on. (Neither ready to commit to peace negotiations).4. Denmark to invest $2 billion to strengthen Arctic defense capabilities.Copenhagen said the spending pledge covers the purchase of three Arctic naval vessels capable of carrying helicopters and drones; two long-range drones with the “ability to conduct surveillance over large areas at great distances;” and increased situational awareness through additional satellite “capacity.”5. Poland continues high-level modernization by signing a $745 million contract to purchase 200 x Advanced Anti-Radiation Guided Missiles – Extended Range missiles. The missiles- to be used on Poland's fleet of F-35A Joint Strike Fighters- are scheduled to be delivered between 2029 and 2035.6. US Navy MQ-25 Unmanned Tankers to Operate From Aircraft Carriers in 2026.7. USAF F-35A Crash in Alaska - Pilot Safely Ejected.The stealth fighter exploded on impact and is likely a total loss.8. US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth revokes the security clearance and removes the security detail of Retired General Mark Milley - former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. In addition, a second portrait of General Milley (Retired) was removed- one that marked his service as a former Army Chief of Staff. (This is the 2d portrait of him removed from the Pentagon. The first portrait- one that marked his service as a CJCS- was removed hours after President Donald Trump was inaugurated on 20 January 2025.)

LM motorruil te Plovdiv! Split-rudders en steilstarters. Vliegkámpschepen inplaats van vliegdékschepen, en een vliegtuigquiz op basis van geluid! Daar gaat het deze aflevering over. O ja, natuurlijk ook over de KLM, anders luistert er weer niemand. In het bijzonder over het wisselen van een motor in Plovdiv, hoe dat precies in z'n werk gaat. En wat een ondankbaar werk dat is.Verder: had de inzet van een Tucano in Zebreniza destijds nut had gehad? Of had-ie geen schijn van kans? En is dat wel een hanteerbaar begrip, in dit soort kwaaie zaken: in een oorlogssituatie 'geen schijn van kans' hebben? En wat dat Nederlandse vliegdekschip betreft: men denkt weer in die richting... zo blijkt uit allerlei schimmige berichten in de sociale media. Alle Nederlandse militaire velden worden in die visie een pracht van een villa-wijk, en van de opbrengst wordt een nieuwe Karel Doorman gekocht, die rondjes gaat draaien op de Noordzee. En wordt ook de inruil van F-35A's naar F-35B's gefinancierd. Weg geluidsoverlast, alleen jammer voor de spotters.Kortom: G&G oh'en er weer flink op los. Alleen getrainde luisteraars kunnen dat aan. U ook?

For review:1. IDF kills Hezbollah Commander in Syria that participated in the attack on US Forces in Karbala, Iraq in 2007. 2. US Rejects International Criminal Court (ICC) Warrants for Israeli PM & Former Defense Minister.The White House said Thursday that it “fundamentally rejects” the International Criminal Court's decision to issue arrest warrants against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former defense minister Yoav Gallant for alleged war crimes in Gaza. The warrants effectively bar PM Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant from entering the ICC's 124 member states. Israel and the US are not members of the court.3. IDF continues pushing into Southern Lebanon- searching & clearing a "second line of villages" of Hezbollah weapons and attack positions. In the second line of villages, the IDF is still finding Hezbollah staging grounds, along with fighting positions from which the terror group has launched anti-tank missiles directly at Israeli border communities and military posts along the border.4. Russia Strikes Ukraine with Intermediate-Range Missile.Pentagon Deputy Press Secretary Sabrina Singh confirmed that Russia's missile was a new, experimental type of intermediate-range missile based on its RS-26 Rubezh intercontinental ballistic missile. The attack struck the Pivdenmash munition plant that built ICBMs when Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union. The military facility is located about 4 miles (6 1/2 kilometers) southwest of the center of Dnipro.5. Sweden to fund long-range missile and drone production inside Ukraine.Swedish Defense Minster Pal Jonson: "This will be produced in Ukraine by the Ukrainian defense industry. It will be financed by Sweden. President [Vladimir] Zelenskyy has stated that there is an especially high demand for funding long-range weapons and long-range drones.” 6. Romania Commits to Procure F-35A Warplanes. Romania has formally committed to the acquisition of 32 x Lockheed Martin F-35A Lightning II fifth-generation fighter jets after signing a Letter of Offer and Acceptance (LOA) today. The procurement is valued at approximately $6.4 billion.7. Australia and Canada to collaborate in hypersonic missile defense. The two nations plan to spend up to $474 million over the next five years developing a “range of solutions."A press release noted that the Defence Research and Development Canada and the Australian Defence Science and Technology Group will work together researching the emerging missile threats- to develop detection, monitoring, targeting and counter-measure technologies.

After rounds of FOIA requests and even litigation, the Project On Government Oversight (POGO) received a copy of the A-10C and F-35A close air support fly-off test report. The test was to compare how both aircraft stack up in providing all-important close air support to ground troops. After analyzing the heavily redacted document, POGO analysts found that despite what the Air Force had been saying, it appears the F-35 may not be well-suited for providing that support.

Today's Story: Locations for New Fighter Jets

The United States Air Force has picked some Air National Guard locations to receive new fighter jets, including Fresno. The Fresno Air National Guard and Naval Air Station Joint Reserve in New Orleans will get the F-15EX, while the F-35A squadron will go to the Barnes Air National Guard in Westfield, Mass. All three bases currently operate older F-15C/D model fighters which the Air Force wants to retire in the coming years.
