The list of the 20 largest aerospace companies by revenues [PDF] remains relatively unchanged, with Boeing and EADS maintaining their top positions.

  • China continues to refute the findings of the Department of Defense’s (DoD) annual report on its military and security policies. The deputy secretary of the China Society of Military Science labels the report as ‘groundless’ and a product of Cold War thinking.

  • BAE Australia has delivered the 1st Hobart Class Destroyer ship block to project lead, ASC, but only after some very high profile problems at their shipyard.

  • Dragon, Britain’s 4th Type 45 Air Defense Destroyer, is sailing to Portsmouth for acceptance by the Royal Navy.

  • Indian media say that the freed ship MV Nafis-1 contained evidence that Pakistan is supporting some Somali pirates.

  • Chile is set to receive its final batch of F-16 fighters from the Royal Netherlands Air Force (RNLAF).

  • A French Mirage fighter and Lithuanian L-39 Albatross trainer collide midair during exercises.
