UK to deploy air defence system to Kuwait

The UK will deploy its Rapid Sentry air defence system to Kuwait to help
protect British and Kuwaiti interests in the Gulf, Keir Starmer’s office said.
The UK prime minister discussed the deployment in a call with Kuwait's
emir, Sheikh Meshal al-Ahmad al-Sabah, this morning, a Downing Street
spokesperson said.

“The prime minister began by condemning the reckless overnight drone
attack on a Kuwaiti oil refinery,” the spokesperson said. “He reiterated that
the UK stands with Kuwait and all our allies in the Gulf”

‘The Rapid Sentry is a ground-based short-range air defence system aimed at
countering drone threats.

Minister says PM was ‘clear’ about terms on which US could use
RAF bases, as MP asks about guarantees civilians not being hit
Back in the Commons, Brendan 0’Hara from the SNP asked a question posed
by Zack Polanski, the Green party leader, earlier (see 1.44pm); O'Hara said
that US B-52 bombers based at RAF Fairford can carry up to 24 cruise missiles
at a time and he asked, given Donald Trump’s comment at the weekend
about potentially launching another attack against Kharg Island “just for
fun”, what guarantees the UK has had that B-52 missions launched from the
UK would not target civilians.

Stephen Doughty, the Foreign Office minister, said he would not comment
on “hypotheticals”. But he said that Keir Starmer was “very clear” on what
basis he allowed the US to use RAF bases for attacks against Iran. (Starmer
said the US could only use these assets for “defensive” missions targeting
Iranian missile bases being used to launch attacks against the UK’s allies in
the region.)

Zack Polanski challenges government to confirm US B-52
bombers taking off from UK not inflicting civilian casualties

Zack Polanski, the Green party leader, has urged the government to clarify
what role is being played by US B-52 bombers operating from RAF Fairfield in
Gloucestershire. In a statement today, he said:

44 B-52 bombers are taking off from RAF Fairfield, we are told, for defensive US
action. The prime minister needs to explain clearly how planes loaded up with
missiles, taking off from a UK base, are being used for defensive rather than
offensive raids.

The fact is these planes are part of “Operation Epic Fury”, a dangerous war of
choice by the US.

The British public do not support this war. So Keir Starmer must answer this:
are B-52 bomb carriers taking off from UK soil being used to inflict civilian
casualities or damage civilian infrastructure in Iran?

A UK fighter jet shot down an Iranian drone aimed at Qatar, according to the
UK’s Ministry of Defense.

“Today, a Royal Air Force Typhoon operating from Qatar as part of the joint
UK-Qatar Typhoon Squadron, successfully took out an Iranian drone heading
towards Qatar,” the ministry’s official X account posted today.

“The Typhoon jet was conducting a defensive air patrol and used an air-to-
air missile to shoot down the drone, ensuring the security of Qatar’s airspace
and British interests in the region,” the statement said. “Our Armed Forces
are playing a vital role to protect our people, our interests and our allies”
The UK signed a defense agreement with Qatar last year, aimed at
strengthening military cooperation and improving interoperability between
their armed forces.

Larisa Brown, defense editor of London’s The Times, reported on X that this
“is the first time the aircraft has carried out an operational interception in
defense of Qatar.”

Canadians want this but far more important would be to work on more flexible cheap air transport to support lasting #ArcticPeace.

The very modular #Faradair platform the #UKmilitary is already exploring is ideal, perhaps Canada could add a #seaplane variant. Or adapt a proven platform to modular.

“The Gaza cemetery is as valued and as cared for as any cemetery in the
world: an enormous amount of sentiment and emotion has been invested in
maintaining these cemeteries as sacred places,” Stanley said.

“The first need is to stop people in Gaza dying and to provide succour to
those who have been starving and suffering for years now: this needs to be
kept in proportion. But for Australians, a serious consequence of this conflict
is the desecration of the graves of Australian soldiers. That might not be
‘major in the global scheme of things, but it is definitely something
Australians should be concerned about.”

Jaradah tended to the graves for 45 years: 35 as an assistant to his father,
Ibrahim, and then 10 years in charge. He passed on the responsibility to his
son before the start of the current conflict.

“The cemetery was considered one of the most beautiful archaeological sites
in Gaza. It contained diverse and beautiful trees and served as a living public
space for the people of the Gaza Strip,” Jaradah said.

“Ifeel a sorrow like that of a child who has lost his mother. Pain and
bitterness grip my heart over the cemetery, just as deeply as the pain of
losing my home entirely”
