Britain and France may gain less by sharing production knowledge than by supplying finished weapons — Ukraine faces technical, industrial and aircraft limitations that could reduce the arrangement’s value. Ukraine already produces longer-range and cheaper strike systems.

US-led exercises Valiant Shield and RIMPAC showcased advanced ship-sinking capabilities, including stealth B-2 launches of long-range anti-ship missiles and the first-time use of unmanned surface vessels.

The US Navy is developing the AIM-424 ‘Malice’, a next-generation long-range air-to-air missile with a range exceeding 250 nautical miles. The missile is designed to give US aircraft greater reach, survivability, and combat effectiveness.

A four-day outage at a small generator demonstrates how vulnerable industrial devices can disrupt essential services without destabilising the wider grid. With nation-state adversaries linked to 75 per cent of incidents, resilience is paramount.

The Academy is being planned to develop future space professionals, potentially including military service obligations. Supporters see it as strengthening the space workforce, while critics suggest it overlaps with existing institutions.

Reading relies on brain systems evolved for auditory, visual and language processing. Research suggests inherited traits and experience shape reading ability, while the brain can develop alternative pathways for people with dyslexia, deafness or blindness.

Thousands watched a Long March 7A launch from Hainan Island, cheering even after its mid-air explosion. As China’s space ambitions grow, launches, tourism, art and commerce are turning space exploration into a popular cultural experience.
