The goal of a Hybrid Navy is another step closer thanks to two milestones on @HMSQNLZ. A Nyan effector strike drone has been launched from a UK aircraft carrier for the first time. The ship also landed and launched a Tekever AR5 multi-role drone. 🔗 royalnavy.mod.uk/news/2026/n…

You may have to zoom in, but the dark shape between the breakwaters is the wreck of HMS Hood, still guarding the southern entrance of Portland Harbor.

There will now be a temptation in many parts of Europe, including the UK, to think that things will eventually go back to normal with the US and that Europe can stop its reluctant shift towards strategic autonomy. That would be a serious mistake.

The disconnect between “we might increase defence spending by a few quid in 5 years’ time (but only if the welfare budget permits)” and “we will garrison a non-NATO state without major US backing (and order that garrison to fight the Russians if they attack)” makes the head hurt.

I think I’ve come across Britain’s single greatest architectural catastrophe since World War 2. Victoria barracks, in Southsea. Would have made excellent housing and civic buildings. Alas, it was almost all destroyed in the 1960s. It survived the war….

If the government of the UK offers any more "aspirations" percentages of what it 'might' spend one day on its defences, I'm going to need more aspirin. While declaring increases for the future for the media, it makes cuts in real terms today. Sort it out, or I'll go public.
