Will Hong Kong become an escape harbour for Russian yachts?

Will Hong Kong become an escape harbour for Russian yachts?

The recent visit of a Russian mega-yacht to Hong Kong has sparked speculation that the city could become a haven for oligarchs hiding from Western sanctions. The "Nord" - a 500 million dollar vessel owned by Russian billionaire Alexei Mordashov - spent just over three weeks in Chinese territory before departing last Thursday. Mordashov is one of the businessmen close to Russian President Vladimir Putin who was sanctioned by the United States, the European Union and the United Kingdom following Moscow's invasion of Ukraine. The seizure of several yachts and other assets around the world in 2022...

Israel and Lebanon: An interjection We could accept it as a historic agreement, as Lebanon and Israel have officially been at war for decades. Now, after years of negotiations, the two states have contractually agreed on a common maritime border. With the mediation of the USA, they have also agreed on the extraction of gas deposits in the Mediterranean. Even if it was primarily of commercial interest, this economic agreement has a political dimension. Lebanon, including the Iranian-backed Hezbollah militia, has thus effectively recognised the state of Israel. This will have major geopolitical repercussions. The maritime border has been a point of contention for...

EuroNaval: BAE Systems with modularity to success - Adaptable Strike Frigate

EuroNaval: BAE Systems with modularity to success - Adaptable Strike Frigate

Gepostet von | 28 Oct 2022 | , , , | 0

BAE Systems used EuroNaval to present the concept of an "adaptable" frigate for the first time. Its key features are modularity and the integration of autonomous systems, which are intended to be deployed in all three dimensions (above, below and on the water). This should enable the frigate to bring combat power and presence to the theatre of operations. It should also be configurable for different scenarios, e.g. as part of an aircraft carrier task force or as a single operating unit. According to BAE, this requires a new approach to the design of warships in order to be able to effectively utilise the systems integrated on board in different command and operational structures. Open architectures are intended to increase the adaptability...
