- The RAF suspended all flights by its fleet of Typhoon fighters because of problems with their ejector seats. This is following the death of a Saudi pilot during the crash of a Typhoon in Spain last month when a fault was discovered with the harness in the investigation. All Typhoon operators restricted operations and now modifications have been made to the ejector seats to allow flights to resume.
- The RAF's latest Reaper has arrived in Afghanistan to support operations there. With this extra UCAV the RAF can now have multiple Reaper operations at any one time over the country.
- The Royal Marines have been conducting joint-exercises with their Brazilian counterparts off the coast of Brazil. The bounty of this co-operation could be a big order for British warships by the Brazilians who may buy the Type 26 according to some reports. France and Italy are also trying to get a piece of Brazil's plan to modernise its surface fleet.

Although they are/were controversial, the Reaper (appropriate name?) does distance service personnel from the enemy and - for want of a less inhumane term - disposes of dangers rapidly. It's hard to fault the efficiency, but the moral quandary is another issue altogether...

Hi, I couldn't see any way of contacting you via email, so I thought I would leave a comment. My name's Chris Morgan, I am the producer of a major new war film, called 'Coup', which may be of interest to your readers. Tagline - a rogue General stages a military coup in America. We have already raised over £750,000 towards our target of £3m via Wefund - http://wefund.com/project/coup-film/p30307/ . We are raising further awareness of the film and seeking to raise the rest of the money via the crowdfunding site above. Please follow the link to follow the project of pledge money via crowdfunding. You can also email me chris@chrismorganfilms.com for more info and a copy of the press release.
I'm assuming you already know that Predator was not invented by the CIA in concert with DARPA it was invented by us in concert with Sukhoi
