US attack submarine output still short of Navy goal

The US Navy has bought forty-one Virginia class attack submarines since 1998 and has funded most of them at a rate of two boats a year, but the two American nuclear shipyards have never delivered at that pace. US attack submarine output still short of Navy goal first appeared on UK Defence Journal.

Iran's FM Spox. Esmail Baghaei:

Iran's FM Spox. Esmail Baghaei: Several aerial refueling aircraft have left Bulgarian territory. No country has any reason to be concerned about Iran unless it makes its facilities available to parties carrying out unlawful acts of aggression. Under international law, targeting the point of origin and source of any act of aggression is Iran’s legitimate right, and there will be no leniency when it comes to defending the country’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

KARACHI’S UNSOLVED HOUSING CRISIS

When Pakistan came into existence in August 1947, Karachi was a city of roughly 435,000 people. Within months, its population changed dramatically. Hundreds of thousands of Muslim refugees arrived from India after Partition, seeking shelter, employment and security in the new country’s capital. The city’s infrastructure, housing stock and public services had never been designed to absorb such numbers in such a short time. The shortage of housing that Karachi experiences today has its roots in th

Putin threatens retaliatory strikes on Ukraine logistics

President Putin to Ukraine : You want to disrupt our logistics? We can address the same question to the enemy. Well then, retaliatory actions will not be long in coming. You’ll get them. At the same time, the actions of the Russian army are, of course, much more sensitive and much more destructive.

Putin:

Putin: Strikes against civilian, effectively unprotected facilities — and, what is especially important, against civilians — cause economic damage to our country and lead to losses. The loss of every person is always a tragedy for the entire country. We know very well that the Nazis of the Second World War, and the neo-Nazis today, experienced — and, judging by everything, still experience — a particular satisfaction, even pleasure, in committing such crimes. And we see that these criminal a
