The Batch 2 OPVs are such amazing value for money, maintaining our presence and protecting our interests in the Caribbean, South Pacific, Gulf of Guinea, Indian Ocean and South Atlantic. If, as is reported, the Defence Review is likely to double down on the Euro-Atlantic at the expense of our global interest, I hope the OPVs at least are left exactly where they are. From countering drug smuggling, piracy and illegal fishing to defence diplomacy, humanitarian and disaster relief, capacity building with partner navies and even joining warfighting multi-national exercises that are too distant and niche to justify sending a frigate and destroyer, these ships do it all, the sailors onboard are having the time of their lives, and they cost, relatively speaking, hardly anything.

Reconnaissance / RECCE Operations Personally from what I have seen over the years recce training and operations are often neglected, I think because people would sooner focus on more exciting “direct action” training and operations.

The sale of #Vista #Outdoor's #ammunition #business, which includes #Remington, to a #foreign entity poses significant #national #security #risks. Control of ammunition production by a foreign power can threaten the #US #supplychain during #conflicts or #crises. Additionally, foreign #ownership might #compromise #sensitive #manufacturing #technologies and #data. The #potential for #espionage increases as foreign entities could gain insights into #American #military #capabilities and #strategies. Such #transactions will #weaken #domestic #defense #readiness and #autonomy, making the #nation #vulnerable to #external #pressures and #supply #disruptions . References 1. #Bloomberg. (2023).
