BREAKING
Russian Ministry of Defense: 37 Ukrainian drones destroyed in 4 hours over regions of Russia and the Black Sea.
Sheikh Qassem: Our supporters make up more than half of Lebanon's population, and all of these people are united under the banner of protecting Lebanon, its Resistance, its people, and its integrity.
Sheikh Qassem: There will be no phased handing in of our arms. [The Israelis] must first enact the agreement before we start talking about a defensive strategy.
Sheikh Qassem: Be brave in the face of foreign pressures, and we will be by your side in this stance.
Sheikh Qassem: Stripping us of our arms is like stripping us of our very soul, and this will prompt us to show them our might.
Sheikh Qassem: We will not abandon our arms, for they gave us dignity; we will not abandon our arms, for they protect us against our enemy.
Sheikh Qassem: The US efforts we are seeing are aimed at sabotaging Lebanon and constitute a call for sedition.
Sheikh Qassem: If you truly want to establish sovereignty and work for Lebanon’s interests, then stop the aggression.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States, which is meddling in Lebanon, is not trustworthy but rather poses a danger to it.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States is preventing the weapons that protect the homeland.

Australia's Defense Minister, Richard Marles, has joined counterparts from the United States and the United Kingdom, Lloyd J Austin, and Grant Shapps, to unveil the second component of the AUKUS agreement.

Australia, along with its AUKUS allies, plans to utilize advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, drones, and deep space radar to address "China's assertiveness in the Pacific."

During a meeting in California, Australia's Defense Minister, Richard Marles, joined counterparts from the United States and the United Kingdom, Lloyd J Austin, and Grant Shapps, to unveil the second component of the Aukus agreement.

This development follows Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's recent criticism of a Chinese naval ship's alleged provocative actions. 

On Saturday, Marles expressed that the incident was deemed "unsafe and unprofessional" and had been directly addressed with China. He emphasized that their concerns about the behavior had been publicly communicated. "We have made public our concerns about the behavior," he said.

While the focus has predominantly centered on Australia's planned acquisition of nuclear-powered submarines within the AUKUS pact, the second pillar emphasizes advanced technologies.

Artificial intelligence (AI) will reportedly play a key role in processing information from sonobuoys on systems, like the P-8A Poseidon aircraft, enhancing anti-submarine warfare capabilities.

AI algorithms and machine learning will further contribute to improving force protection, precision targeting, and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance.

Additionally, submarines, both existing and future, will be utilized for launching and recovering undersea vehicles through torpedo tubes.

In further detail, quantum technology will be deployed to enhance positioning, navigation, and timing, improving stealth and enabling operations even in the absence of GPS signals.

AUKUS should be abandoned if Trump re-elected

The UK, US and Australia declared their commitment to conducting a series of coordinated trilateral experiments and exercises to evaluate and enhance the functioning of unmanned maritime systems. They will collaborate on sharing and analyzing maritime data, strengthening cybersecurity measures, and initiating an annual competition centered around electronic warfare technologies.

In their collective statement, they reiterated a "shared resolve to bolster security and stability and ensure that the Indo-Pacific remains a region free from coercion and aggression".

Marles rejected worries that the potential reemergence of Donald Trump in the White House could jeopardize Aukus, asserting that the agreement enjoys backing from various political perspectives. A survey revealed that approximately 40% of Australians believe the government should abandon the Aukus deal if Trump is re-elected.

Austin emphasized that AUKUS aims to enhance peace and security across the Indo-Pacific, a sentiment echoed by Shapps, who indicated that the region has become notably more perilous.

According to the joint statement, six officers from the Royal Australian Navy have completed their training at the US Nuclear Power School, and three more are scheduled to graduate from the UK Nuclear Power School in January. Professionals from the industry have commenced their work at the US Pearl Harbor Navy and the UK Barrow-in-Furness shipyards, focusing on acquiring the expertise needed for the construction and maintenance of nuclear-powered submarines.

The AUKUS partners also alleged their dedication to nuclear non-proliferation and have expressed support for "Australia's choice to establish an independent nuclear safety regulator".
