Defence is important but defence can look suspiciously like attack. The War Department was an honest name. Now it is called the Ministry of Defence. Here are some sources.

Israel fourth largest weapons exporter
QUOTE
Israel has passed Britain to become the world's fourth largest exporter of weapons, Defence Ministry Director-General Pinchas Bucharis said on Sunday. Israel exported a total $4 billion in defence exports in 2007, Bucharis said. The United States, Russia and France lead the world's list of exporters. The Defence Ministry held a special session on Sunday to present to arms dealers and security export companies details of a new law set to go into effect at the end of the month regarding the supervision of defence exports.

Pentagon plans to conduct warfare in world’s largest cities over the next 100 year
QUOTE
Weapons that take out one floor of a city building, but leave the structure standing. Robot spies that look like dragonflies that can fly into your apartment to scope its contents. Intensity sound transmitters - already tentatively deployed in the United States - to cause excruciating pain to crowds of thousands. Sensors that can "see" every person in an apartment building, and take out those targeted. The global spread of mega-cities, largely shanty towns of the dispossessed in poorer nations, and the ruler's unease at growing public discontent even in the developed world, have caused Pentagon planners and their hip-joined private contractors to conclude that urban warfare is the future.

Royal Navy Kills Pirates In The Gate of Tears
QUOTE
Just this Tuesday, in fact, Royal Marine Commandos in sea boats got into a gunfight with the crew of a small pirate dhow which had previously attempted to seize a Danish merchantman not far away. Having been fired on by the foolhardy freebooters as they approached, the Marines killed two of the pirates and the rest surrendered smartly - but this doesn't signal the end of piracy in the area. Indeed, the following day, even as the news of the success broke, a Turkish tanker was seized in the very same waters. Somali and Yemeni buccaneers are a particular problem for international trade as they are ideally situated to prey on traffic passing through the Bab el Mandeb ("the Gate of Tears") - the narrow strait at the southern end of the Red Sea, which carries all the traffic between the Suez Canal and the Indian Ocean....... Another well-known hotspot, for instance, is the Singapore Strait..... Nowadays piracy off the Somali coast is endemic, with gunmen in speedboats seizing entire ships as often as once a week - then often holding them for ransom in the infamous pirate port of Eyl. (So far there isn't all that much reselling of ships and cargoes, apparently. Ransoms are seen as simpler and more profitable.)
UNQUOTE
The Royal Navy got lucky. A frigate really is not the right option for sorting pirates with speed boats. Helicopters properly armed are. This is another case to play Spot The Agenda. The RN likes big warships, relevant or not. NB The writer, Lieutenant Page is not an embittered naval rating turned communist subversive.

Israel And Germany Develop Missile Warning System [ 17 November 2008 ]
QUOTE
Working in secret, Israel and Germany have jointly developed a nuclear missile detection system, according to the Defence News Web site. Code-named Project Bluebird, the system is based on the prototype of an aerial infrared sensor designed to identify a nuclear-tipped missile speeding toward a target amid a cluster of decoy missiles.Military planners work under the assumption that in a nuclear strike, decoy missiles could be launched along with those carrying nuclear warheads to confuse and overwhelm missile defence shields. According to the sources, Project Bluebird is designed to avert such a scenario.

Pakistan Cuts Supply Lines To NATO Forces [ 20 September 2008 ]
QUOTE
BARA: In a major development, the federal government on Friday announced disconnection of supply lines to the allied forces stationed in Afghanistan through Pakistan in an apparent reaction to a ground attack on a border village in South Waziristan agency by the NATO forces. Political authorities of the Khyber Agency claimed to have received verbal directives to immediately halt transportation of all kinds of goods meant for the US-led NATO forces in Afghanistan for an indefinite period. Authorities claimed the decision was taken in the wake of the growing unrest in the Khyber Agency that provides for the only ground link of the country to the war-torn Afghanistan................... The US government had accepted responsibility for the attack but did not offer any apology for the same and instead announced to launch more such attacks against the militants across the border, if so required in future.
UNQUOTE
Vicious dangerous war criminals is the best you can say of them. A fighting withdrawal through the Khyber Pass and down to the sea will be an ugly business. Bush and Cheney should hang for this along with Blair and Brown. The western main stream media did not bother to tell us about this one. The agenda matters. Truth does not.
Israel to pay $77 million for 1000 bunker-buster missiles to attack Iran [ 17 September 2008 ]
QUOTE
The US Department of Defence has approved the sale of GBU-39 small diameter bunker-buster missiles to Israel. Congress has 30 days to stop the deal, but that prospect is considered highly unlikely.
Everyone knows that the reason for 1000 GPS-guided missiles is for a potential attack on Iranian nuclear facilities. The notification to Congress of the pending sale was made over the weekend by the Defence Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA), the branch of the Pentagon responsible for evaluating foreign military sales. The deal is valued at $77 million and the principal contractor will be Boeing Integrated Defence Systems.
Israel has also asked for 150 mounting carriages, 30 guided test vehicles and two instructors to train the Israeli Air Force how to load the missiles on its aircraft. In its recommendation to Congress, the DSCA wrote that Israel's strategic position was "vital to the United States' interests throughout the Middle East." Full story in the Jerusalem Post.
UNQUOTE
If Israel is going to pay actual money for American kit it has to be desperate to have it. The claim that they will come across with $77 million is probably just propaganda. At $77,000 each for some explosive and a small computer defence outfits are robbing the American tax payer blind as normal.

Lions, Donkeys and Dinosaurs by Lewis Page
QUOTE
The past blunders which he highlights - for which no one has been forced to accept the blame, so opaque is the accountability of both armed services and the MoD - are history. What matters more are his pointers for the future... It is all here. Lewis Page details the ridiculous excess of senior officers for our shrinking services (over 40 major-generals for just two army divisions, 46 Royal Navy admirals and 88 commodores, 340 RAF group-captains and 40 air marshals). He describes the fantastic procurement blunders. There was the decision that Britain should build its own Apache helicopters, at a cost of £40 million apiece, while the Israelis bought theirs off the shelf from the Americans for £12 million. There are the scandals of the Merlin anti-submarine helicopter and the SA80 rifle, and the fact that the RAF possesses 150 uniformed men per deployable aircraft, more than double the ratio of the Israeli air force.
UNQUOTE
Defence procurement has a track record of gross incompetence and that is he kindest thing that can be said for it. Look at the diaries of a major general in his last eighteen months, the contracts he signs and the well paid job that he gets when he leaves. Then wonder about corruption.
Beware! The new Goths are coming [ 13 April 2007 ]
QUOTE
In an apocalyptic vision of security dangers, Rear Admiral Chris Parry said future migrations would be comparable to the Goths and Vandals while north African "Barbary" pirates could be attacking yachts and beaches in the Mediterranean within 10 years.
Europe, including Britain, could be undermined by large immigrant groups with little allegiance to their host countries — a "reverse colonisation" as Parry described it. These groups would stay connected to their homelands by the internet and cheap flights. The idea of assimilation was becoming redundant, he said.
The warnings by Parry of what could threaten Britain over the next 30 years were delivered to senior officers and industry experts at a conference last week. Parry, head of the development, concepts and doctrine centre at the Ministry of Defence, is charged with identifying the greatest challenges that will frame national security policy in the future.
If a security breakdown occurred, he said, it was likely to be brought on by environmental destruction and a population boom, coupled with technology and radical Islam. The result for Britain and Europe, Parry warned, could be "like the 5th century Roman empire facing the Goths and the Vandals".
UNQUOTE
Admiral Parry is quite right of course. It hasn't done his promotion prospects any good though. Telling all of the truth; that politicians are inciting illegals might well have gotten him early retirement.

Russia will be able to beat American ABM systems [ 17 March 2007 ]

The United States is working to deploy a global ABM system [ Why? Bush is mad but still why? - Editor ] that would be effective against intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) and intermediate-range missiles with a range of up to 5,000 km (3,107 miles)...... whose creation will cost Washington some $60 billion [ Sheer lunacy - Editor ] by 2015.

Col Jorge Mendonca, who was commander of the Queen's Lancashire Regiment, had been charged with negligently performing a duty after an Iraqi died in his battalion's custody in 2003. The most expensive court martial in British history, estimated to cost more than £20 million, has sparked criticism of the Army Prosecuting Authority and the conduct of the Attorney General in supervising the prosecution.

World War III [ 13 December 2006 ]
Men serving in Iraq are going to come back disenchanted. They are men who have learned about guerrilla war the hard way, by being at the receiving end of it. Some will not see the funny side of being treated as pariahs as men were after Vietnam. It doesn't take many men to carry out covert operations. It is all too easy to look round the ghettoes of America and seeing them making trouble. The French have created their very own ghettoes. Look at the consequences. Blair is doing the same to us in England but he has the sense never to go near one without armed guards. Trouble is being stored up for us using ethnic time bombs and there ain't no accidents involved. The source for this is Bill Lind. He knows of what he speaks.

How Hezbollah Defeated Israel Part 2- Winning the ground war [ 13 October 2006 ]
QUOTE
Israel's decision to launch a ground war to accomplish what its air force had failed to do was made hesitantly and haphazardly. While Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) units had been making forays into southern Lebanon during the second week of the conflict, the Israeli military leadership remained undecided over when and where - even whether - to deploy their ground units.

The Middle East, and possibly the world, stands on the brink of a terrible conflagration as Israel and the United States prepare to deal with Iran's alleged ambition to acquire nuclear weapons. Israel, it becomes clearer by the day, wants to use its air force to deliver a knock-out blow against Tehran. It is not known whether it will use conventional weapons or a nuclear warhead in such a strike.

The Israelis are grossly irresponsible hooligans, perfectly prepared to start World War III without good reason. They control Bush and Blair which makes them far more dangerous.

It is noteworthy that authors of the yearbook assume that Washington could cut down on such huge military spending by taking a more active line over its cooperation with other important players at the world political scene. However, the U.S. seems to opt to handle all issues relating to international security on its own. The effectiveness of this strategy is yet another question.

Martin Van Creveld & Israel the mad dog [ 19 May 2006 ]
QUOTE
Let's hand it to Martin Van Creveld, a professor of military history at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, for speaking the mind of nearly half of all Israelis. "The Palestinians should all be deported," declared Van Creveld in 2003. "The people who strive for this (the Israeli government) are waiting only for the right man and the right time. Two years ago, only 7 or 8 per cent of Israelis were of the opinion that this would be the best solution....... now, according to a Gallup poll, the figure is 44 percent."
Such a "Final Solution" to the fact millions of Arabs live in Palestine-and have for centuries-would be a serious violation of the 1949 Geneva Conventions and 1977 Additional Protocols, not that Israel believes in humanitarian law when it comes to Arabs and Muslims.
Moreover, Van Creveld boasted "Israel had the capability of hitting most European capitals with nuclear weapons," a remark especially pertinent now, as the Israelis and Americans claim Iran will do likewise the moment it develops a nuke. "We possess several hundred atomic warheads and rockets and can launch them at targets in all directions, perhaps even at Rome. Most European capitals are targets of our air force." Iran has never made such a remark (or threat) and yet we are told the country is a threat to world peace. "Israel must be like a mad dog, too dangerous to bother," Van Creveld explained. "Our armed forces are not the thirtieth strongest in the world, but rather the second or third. We have the capability to take the world down with us. And I can assure you that this will happen before Israel goes under."..........
Our problem is Israel, not Iran. I fear Israel and its 46 percent of ethnic cleansing and Islam hating fanatics-who are essentially racists, no different than troglodytic members of the KKK or the millions of deluded Germans who believed the racial theories of the Nazi Alfred Rosenberg. I am more worried about our bought and sold Congress-almost all prostituted down to the man and woman-on the AIPAC food chain and the Neocon leash. I fear the rabid Van Creveld and his fellow citizens more than I fear Ahmadinejad and the Iranian mullahs. Rosenberg, at least, suffered the noose as a war criminal at Nuremberg.

Oz faces a systems failure [ 16 May 2006 ]
There is plenty of tax payers' money. There has to be with incompetents like this running the system. The new submarines cost $1 billion extra to get them right. British cock ups like this are normal. Do they care? Not really. Civil servants get their knighthoods regardless. With patronage like this and cost increases merely dependent on a bit of patter it is easy to see that favours might be involved.
240 Diggers to Afghanistan [ 9 May 2006 ]
Oz is sending 240 men to Afghanistan. This is down right silly. When the tribesmen finish fighting ours they will go back to fighting each other. There men soldier well or not very long.
Rumsfeld grabs more power [ 24 April 2006 ]
Having fouled up beyond belief in Iraq, Rumsfeld is taking power from the CIA [ DrugRunners'R'Us ] and the State Department in order to wage war here, there and everywhere. Does Bush take the this thug seriously? Are they both mad or is it their Zionist handlers?
US Navy's fleet increasingly irrelevant [ 20 April 2006 ]
Carriers are hugely expensive. Destroyers at $1 billion up are not cheap so when a couple of Arabs with a rubber dinghy full of explosives hit one it is VERY cost effective. The price of a few camels to the widows makes a lot of sense. Russian missiles aren't cheap but they are effective and cost effective. Is there a lot of point in having a navy?
Outsourcing F-111 unit [ 14 March 2006 ]
F111s are effective but getting on in life. Outsourcing is the fashionable approach that makes a lot of money for business men prepared to snivel to politicians and give them very well paid little numbers later on. There is a better answer. The world's third biggest air force is sitting quietly in Arizona. See Where Warbirds Go To Die. They could spare us a few B52s or even F111s.
More US subs to counter Chinese threat [ 7 March 2006 ]
Subs are being secretly transferred to the Pacific to threaten China rather than Russia. They will be based in Pearl Harbour, San Diego and Bremerton in Washington state. This will be in case of sabre rattling over Taiwan.
U.S. Plans to Modernize Nuclear Arsenal [ 7 March 2006 ]
So do India, Pakistan and Blighty. The Israeli nuclear upgrade does not get a mention, far less any of its NBC [ nuclear, biological, chemical ] capability.
Spitfires roar and soar seventy years on [ 6 March 2006 ]
Seventy years ago to the minute the nameless prototype flew. This time it was a Mk IX twin seater with the original pilot. The Hurricane got more early on but the Spitfire had the looks. People paid for them at £5,000; serious money then.
Pentagon to sell fighters to India [ 4 March 2006 ]
But they give them to Israel for free. Do the Indians get to pay double? Possibly. It is a part of Bush colluding with the Indians on nukes. It is all right for Indians to have nukes and threaten Pakistan. It is not all right for Iran to have nukes so that they can defend themselves from Israeli nukes.
Israeli sub fleet chief- We can hit targets overseas [ 2 March 2006 ]
Nuclear subs with cruise missiles can hit more or less anything in Western Europe and all coastal regions of North America. Add in anywhere a few hundred miles inland in a country that annoys them and you are looking at a strategic weapon. Of course almost anywhere is vulnerable to the 40 foot container with a bomb and a long fuze. They can easily be pre-positioned and might well be in place NOW. It is a two way passage though. PS They are not fool enough to have women onboard.
Israel Buys Two Dolphin Class Submarines [ 2 March 2006 ]
For $1.17 billion and putting the frighteners on. They were German Kriegsmarine surplus. They already had three boats.
Australia to buy Lockheed missiles for fighter jets [ 29 February 2006 ]
They have a range of 250 miles which is useful. Cruise missiles can attack land and sea targets. Oz has 71 F18 Hornets. They will cost A$400 million so they are not cheap which is why they will not be carried by maritime surveillance aircraft - a pity. See also Missile purchase to upset region Indonesians will not like the idea that we can defend ourselves against them. They will help to fill the gap between the going of the F111s and arrival of F35s.
Brazil poised to join the world's nuclear elite [ 12 February 2006]
Do we care? It seems not. North Korea gets threatened. So does Iran regardless of what it does. So what is the score? It ain't the fairy stories that the media are feeding us.
Where Warbirds Go To Die
The world's third largest air force sits and waits in Davis Monthan AFB, Arizona
'Aussie' Abrams tanks roll off line [ 19 February 2006 ]
Five have been made. There will be 59 and all second hand. Heavy tanks seem fairly irrelevant for Oz but would be more useful for invading Iran or other places that Zionists want attacked.
Amid China threat, U.S. to hold mammoth naval operations in Pacific [ 17 February 2006 ]
Exercising the fleets on China's door step is a provocation in Chinese eyes or a comfort to Taiwan. Four carriers is a lot of fire power. Do we really need sabre rattling from a draft dodger like Bush or anyone else? BTW, you need to read the Tehran Times to see what the rest of the media are not telling.
Defence Strategy Review
Leads to news and views. Read for yourself. Think for yourself. Decide for yourself.
Quadrennial Defence Review 2006
The [ American ] Secretary of Defence takes a public position. It is a public relations offering and part of the propaganda war.
E-Weapons Directed Energy Warfare In The 21st Century [ 20 January 2006 ]
High powered lasers could really spoil your day and they can be controlled from far away. It sounds as though those computer games will pay off. To say the obvious these projects are humungously expensive but they are always cheaper than losing.
Britain's sci-fi tanks to fend off attack with force-field [ 9 January 2006 ]
This sounds good or, at least, high tech and expensive. The real battlefield is in politics, education, law and the churches. We are losing because we don't even know that they are making war on us. See Invisible Enemy and Subversion for more on this.
Why is the U.S. Navy Leasing a Swedish Submarine? [ 7 January 2006 ]
With Russian submarines rusting at their moorings there are not many credible enemies left but there are some genuine threats which need the US Navy to train for. Using Swedish technology is the answer.
Australia gets spyplane drones [ 15 December 2005 ]
They sound useful. The customs and fishery protection people need them too. At A$145 million they ain't cheap. They are from Israel with stolen(?) American(?) technology.
Australian Forces Becoming Invaders [ 15 December 2005 ]
The RAAF is getting the heavy lift capability to move their main battle tanks by air. That means invasions just like the Russian army when it was in East Germany. All of their tanks were equipped for river crossings and you don't do those when you are falling back.
Jewish choppers in service of drug cartel [ 12 November 2005 ]
American made choppers went to drug runners. American officials are asking questions. Does this get worldwide media attention? Not on your life.
India to buy Zionist drones in 220 million dollar deal [ 5 November 2005 ]
Selling American technology to China annoyed the Americans. They are still doing it. See the previous entry.
Venezuela upset with US over arms veto [ 3 November 2005 ]
Upgrading F16s blocked so Hugo is going to give them to Fidel in Cuba or that bloke with an odd name in China. Bush gives F16s to the Jews for free. Bush invades Iraq for them for free. Jews matter. Others do not. See Free Jets for Israel: Bush OK's 102 Fighters at $45 Million Each
Revealed: Blair's nuclear bombshell [ 17 October 2005 ]
Blair is going to update our nukes. I think this makes sense although he is doing it for the wrong reasons. Nuking Tel Aviv is an important option. The Army is not keen and Brown is moaning about the cost. He has got plenty of our money to waste when he wants.
BTW, the English newspapers are so excited that they are saying nothing.
Free Jets for Israel: Bush OK's 102 Fighters at $45 Million Each [ 1 October 2005 ]
This is so that they can attack Iran but it is only American tax payers' money that is being used to help Jews murder foreigners. Source Israel gets new F-16I fighter/bomber
Colonel saw engine blast before air disaster
Fly Air Ethnic and take your chances? Not me. American air lines are quite conscientious. They can't take the bad publicity. Remember PanAm? Nor did anyone else after Lockerbie and it wasn't even their fault. Brits are all right for the same reason. They can't hide from the publicity. Europeans? All right but after that get very selective.
Russia's new X-555 cruise missile operates better than its predecessor
With a range of 1,250 miles and serious accuracy it sounds like good kit. It is air launched so you have to be a long way away to be safe from it or well hidden. It is the electronic side that makes the real difference. How well can it avoid the opposition's defences? We will never really know unless it is for real. Just hope that it doesn't come to that.
STEALTH SECRETS OF THE F-117 NIGHTHAWK
Its development was kept under wraps for 14 years, but by 1991, the F-117 Nighthawk had become a household word.
Aviation History is a bit more accurate but it is seriously advanced technology and it worked well in Iraq. To be fair Iraqi technology was probably not good but they meant it and the USAF's aircraft all got back.
Vladimir Putin flies Tu-160 bomber plane, tests cruise missiles and advertises ice cream [ 18 August 2005 ]
The Moscow air show was fun. Vlad went there.
Russia responds to Le Bourget with MAKS-2005 Air Show in Moscow region [ 16 August 2005 ]
This is the second Moscow air show and they have some super kit. The Mig-29 [ Fulcrum if you are in NATO - see NATO reporting names ] has vectored thrust making it highly manoeuvrable. I don't quite see why they need such advanced goodies but if you want peace prepare for war and the Chinese are not always nice. The USAF will be there too.
