South Korea's military has increased its readiness due to North Korea's plans to demolish border roads amid escalating tensions. North Korean troops have been deployed to the border, raising fears of retaliatory explosions in response to South Korea's alleged drone flights over North Korea, which were intended to distribute propaganda leaflets. Military spokesman Lee Sung-jun noted that the North is preparing for potential detonations, which could occur as soon as today. North Korea has escalated its rhetoric, declaring that further incursions would be deemed a declaration of war. Lee highlighted the provocations from North Korea, including its recent actions of sending balloons with derogatory materials into South Korea. Prominent North Korean figures, such as Kim Yo Jong, have condemned the drone flights as an "unpardonable" challenge and threatened severe consequences. Additionally, North Korea has bolstered its military readiness by mobilizing eight artillery brigades for potential firing if tensions worsen. The targeted roads are remnants of past reconciliation efforts, particularly following a 2018 summit aimed at peace. However, North Korea's recent reintroduction of heavy weaponry and restoration of guard posts in the Demilitarized Zone has undermined the 2018 military agreement to reduce tensions. The two Koreas remain technically at war, with their conflict unresolved by a formal peace treaty. #AsiaRisk #NorthKorea #SouthKorea https://lnkd.in/g6A7jYZc Crisis Management Planning for an NK Crisis Get the Erudite Risk NK Crisis Toolkit https://lnkd.in/gSGK9_fS

The Royal Australian Navy (RAN) HMAS Sydney has conducted a successful firing of a Standard Missile 6, representing a step-change in the lethality, air and missile defence, and long-range strike capability of Navy’s surface combatant fleet. The Standard Missile 6 will be progressively deployed across Navy’s Hobart class destroyers and, in the future, the Hunter class frigates. The Standard Missile 6 (SM-6) or RIM-174 Standard Extended Range Active Missile (ERAM) was designed for extended-range anti-air warfare (ER-AAW) purposes, providing capability against fixed and rotary-wing aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles, anti-ship cruise missiles. This is another significant milestone in enhancing the lethality of Navy’s surface combatant fleet, consistent with the Albanese Government’s National Defence Strategy and the Independent Analysis into Navy’s Surface Combatant Fleet. In response to Australia’s challenging strategic circumstances, the Albanese Government is enhancing deterrence by rapidly boosting the Navy’s long-range strike capabilities and providing greater capacity to strike maritime, land and air targets at longer distances. #military #defense #defence #militaryleak https://lnkd.in/gGtVTeJf

📢 Pre-order alert: "POLARIS: SUBMARINES, MISSILES, THE US NAVY AND THE ROYAL NAVY" by John Boyes is out in October Read more 👉 https://fml.pub/polaris 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘀𝘂𝗯𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗲-𝗹𝗮𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰-𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗨𝗦 𝗡𝗮𝘃𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗼𝘆𝗮𝗹 𝗡𝗮𝘃𝘆 The atom bombs dropped on Japan at the end of the Second World War opened the door to the nuclear age. Seeing the potential for developing nuclear energy for the US Navy, Captain Hyman Rickover initiated a research programme that culminated in the launch of USS Nautilus, the world’s first nuclear-powered submarine. Meanwhile, ballistic missile technology was developing fast, but still relied on complex liquid fuels. The US Navy partnered with the army to develop a ballistic missile for both services, but withdrew when solid fuels became a practical proposition. Under the leadership of RADM William Raborn, the US Navy set up its own project: the Polaris weapon system. In 1960, the first missile-armed nuclear-powered submarine (SSBN) left on patrol, with forty more to follow. Two years later, when Britain’s Blue Streak and Skybolt plans were cancelled, Harold Macmillan and John F. Kennedy agreed for Polaris to be supplied to the Royal Navy. #royalnavy #polaris #nuclear #nuclearsubmarine #usnavy #BallisticMissiles #NuclearDeterrence #submarine #submarines #polarisweapon #SSBN #skybolt #MissileDefense #missiles #nuclearpower #britishnavy #missile #books #military #militaryhistory #defence #militaryhistorybooks @followers @highlight
