Australske AFUO opfordrer regeringen til at lukke smuthul i sanktioner, der tillader import af russisk olie. AFUO udpeger det danskejede tankskib Torm Emilie, der angiveligt har sejlet russisk diesel fra Indien til Australien. www.ukrainianworldcongress.org/russian-fuel...

As part of Denmark’s new 88 billion DKK defense deal, one detail stands out. 🇩🇰✈️
“You can be my wingman anytime,” as the movie line goes — but this one flies without a pilot.
Denmark plans to buy Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) — unmanned drones designed to fly alongside F-35s.

Part 2 of the 🇩🇰Arctic defence agreement was announced today with a budget of 27.4bn DKK (3.7bn EUR). The maritime part constitutes 22.3bn DKK or 81%, but also includes P-8 maritime patrol aircraft in cooperation with a NATO ally. 🇳🇴Norway is a good and logic candidate.

Hans Tino Hansen @hanstino.bsky.social · 3d

According to TV2 the new Part 2 of the Arctic defence agreement will include:

2 additional Arctic frigates (total 5)

Maritime Patrol aircraft (reportedly P-8)

Icebreaking “capacity”

Drones

Radars

New military HQ in Nuuk

Naval facilities in Nuuk

Army Arctic regiment

Today’s 🇩🇰decision to acquire 16 F-35 at a cost of 29bn DKK (3.9bn EUR) is the Low option and will not reach the originally planned 48. However, the High option discussed would take RDAF back to similar to the total F-16 fleet but at an almost prohibitive cost.

Hans Tino Hansen @hanstino.bsky.social · Apr 12

🇩🇰Denmark considers ordering 10-21 F-35A potentially bringing the total up to the originally planned 48. A very long way from the 128 at the end of the Cold War. Danish media Olfi speculates in F-35 deployment on 🇬🇱Greeland due to the planned acquisition of two tanker aircraft.

Why has Dominion Voting Systems been settling defamation lawsuits with Trump allies who falsely claimed the company stole the 2020 election?

Because Dominion has just been bought by a company run by a former GOP election official.

Be warned.

The fact that the sub is traveling surfaced indicates that there could be something to the earlier reports of technical issues.

(In late Sept., a 🇷🇺 Russian social media source reported serious technical issues involving a diesel fuel leak, though this remains unconfirmed.)
