🇨🇦 Canada’s message to russia:
You don’t get to bomb Ukrainian cities and then send your juniors to play hockey in Alberta like civilised people.
No Russian or Belarusian teams at the World Juniors. Not under your flag. Not under any other. Period.

Thailand looks to be accelerating their F-16 replacement program; firming the order for the remaining Gripen-Es. This will give Thailand a Swedish-like mixed fleet of Gripen C/D & E that will network with their Saab 340 AEW aircraft. Next upgrade: GlobalEye?
🇹🇭 RTAF to accelerate buy of additional #Gripen E/F.
In FY28: "submit the remaining eight aircraft as a single proposal under the next phase, rather than dividing them into smaller batches, to accelerate preparations for a fully operational sqn"

NATO’s decision to choose GlobalEye is significant for the Alliance, for Sweden and for the transatlantic defence industrial base. It recognises Swedish technology and is a concrete Swedish contribution to NATO’s deterrence, defence and future air surveillance. (1/3)
