But effectively we&#8217;re planting the acorns from which the future oaks will grow. Critically, British industry is already a world leader in these innovative technologies.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As part of Britain&#8217;s small but proud space heritage, she pointed to <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.co.uk\/2018\/03\/01\/carbonite_2_raf_satellite_mission\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the Carbonite-2 satellite<\/a>, designed by Surrey Satellites (an Airbus subsidiary), which the RAF has been testing to beam live video footage from space.<\/p>\n<p>Rather implausibly, Mordaunt also heralded &#8220;a new age of &#8216;sombre&#8217; wars conducted in the shadows, on the dark web, in the business world, space and often remote from what we&#8217;ve known of the battlefield&#8221; \u2013 a pronouncement that drew scorn from those used to the MoD&#8217;s impenetrable gobbledygook.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\" readability=\"3.6363636363636\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Sombre Warfare is the new album from my synth rock band. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/zxP0lHjxF4\">https:\/\/t.co\/zxP0lHjxF4<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Valerie Insinna (@ValerieInsinna) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ValerieInsinna\/status\/1151809057008885765?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 18, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 class=\"crosshead\"><span>Our man in spaaaaace \u2013 Mk.2<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>An RAF test pilot will also be dispatched to Virgin Orbit&#8217;s bid to get into space, Mordaunt announced. Perhaps the Air Force is a little jealous that Major Tim Peake, a British Army Air Corps helicopter pilot before his transition to stellar glory for all time, scooped all of the publicity when he went into orbit with the EU Space Agency.<\/p>\n<p>On top of that, the Defence Secretary also said she wants to see the RAF become a service where new joiners can &#8220;become an aviator or an astronaut, where you will push back the frontiers of space and create a launchpad to the stars&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Not so many years ago, the RAF&#8217;s sole contribution to space awareness was a squadron leader driving a Whitehall desk. The service has evidently decided to go the whole hog, though whether Britain will do a Donald Trump and inaugurate a <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2018\/jun\/18\/space-force-donald-trump-orders-new-branch-of-us-military\">standalone Space Force<\/a> remains to be seen.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"crosshead\"><span>And back to F-35s<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Britain received its latest batch of F-35B VSTOL fighter jets from America as well this week, with the six aircraft having been flown across the Atlantic <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.co.uk\/2018\/06\/07\/f_35s_arrive_raf_marham_us_gao_reliability_report\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">in the same way as the first batch<\/a>. Allocated to 207 Sqn RAF, the jets will be used for training duties in the UK \u2013 meaning British aviators will no longer have to fly to sunny southern USA for conversion onto the supersonic stealth aircraft.<\/p>\n<p>Turkey has also been <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-us-canada-49023115\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">kicked out of the F-35 program<\/a> by Trump after buying a state-of-the-art Russian air defence system.
