If you have installed iOS 26 and you do not like the new transparent design, you just have to press this hidden button on the settings

by

iOS 26 has not only brought an important change in the name, It also comes with the largest redesign of the iPhone for years. The interface Liquid Glass is characterized by being full of transparencies, Something that not to everyone will convince him. Liquid Glass cannot be deactivated, but there are ways for your iPhone to have a design almost like before. Goodbye to transparencies in iOS 26 As the saying says, for tastes: colors. There will be those who are delighted with Liquid Glass, but one thing is true: The readability of some elements is harmed With so much transparency. I no longer talk about Transparent icons do not find appsbut of menus and controls that overlap and do not finish seeing well. If you are in my team, this option is for you. The magic button to get rid of transparencies. The button we are talking about is’Reduce Transparency ‘ And it does just what his name says. To activate it you simply have to go into adjustments – Accessibility – screen and text size and disable it. The result will be that the translucent effect will be reduced, causing the elements to distinguish much better. Let’s look at a couple of examples: The APP photos controls look fatal when we see an image or full screen. The APP photos is a good example that transparency is not always better. Looking at this full -screen image, the buttons look much less clear with activated transparency. In addition, the effect is changing as we move the photo, causing the background to move and dizzy even more. The control center is much more readable. The control center also benefits from this option, but above all Where I have noticed is in the notification panel (in the cover photo). Here we have many small texts and we usually slide to see all notifications, making everything move and cost us more to read. If you want to improve the readability a little more about the option ‘Increase contrast’ It is just below. If you active, the effect is minimized Glow And everything looks flatter. And finally, if you don’t like Liquid Glass, there is plenty of saying that Do not activate transparent icons, Better to leave it in the ‘by omission’ mode. Two extras: Telephone and Safari The redesign also reaches system applications and, again, It is not for everyone. The good news is that they allow us Go back and have the design before. One of them is the safari browser. Safari has a new design, but we can return to the old if we want. By default, when IOS IOS 26 will activate the new compact design that the search bar and two buttons have on the sides. If you go to settings – Safari you can choose whether to keep the re -but without the compact design or on the contrary Return to classic design with the top bar and the buttons below. The telephone app also has a new design. In the case of the telephone app, when opening it asks if we want to try the new design. As in Safari, The interface is more compact And it offers us less tabs at the bottom, in addition to eliminating the “calls/losses” coach from the top. If you do not convince you, you can click on the top button to the right and return to the classic design.

I’ve been using Google Maps for years and I didn’t know this button. It is wonderful to follow routes on foot

by

Although There are more and more optionsGoogle Maps is still The queen of navigation apps. But even the most used app, there are functions that not everyone knowsI the first. Today we talk about an option that makes Google Maps is much more intuitive on foot routes. Google Maps on foot is not the same as by car It is obvious, but the simple fact that the car moves faster makes it very easier to know what direction we have to go. When we use the routes on foot, sometimes the pointer does not move until we walk a considerable distance and, If we have confused ourselves, we will have to return to where we have come. I confess that it has happened to me many times. In addition, although generally the compass indicates the direction without having to move, but that lifts our hand who has not had problems with this. Many times the compass does not work well and It is necessary to calibrate it. With this function the headaches are over. The augmented reality to rescue 13 tricks to get the most out of Google Maps If you are going to follow a route on foot, Live View is your best ally. It is a function that uses augmented reality and indicates why we must continue in a much more visual and intuitive way. To activate it you just have to click on The camera button which appears on the icons on the right side of the screen. When you activate Live View for the first time, a notice like the one you can see on these lines appears and you will also have to accept the camera permits. Then he will ask you to notice with the camera to your surroundings to be able to “scan” the buildings and, once completed, you will see an arrow superimposed on the image which tells you where you should keep walking. Live View is a veteran function on Google Maps (arrived in 2019) and is available in all areas where we have the option to use Google Street View. However, it is not a super known option and, at least, it has turned out Very useful especially being traveling In new cities.

The F-35 not only costs a fortune, it has a button that Spain does not like. So he told the US that he doesn’t want them

by

When in 2019 the United States announced that, after two decades of work, Lockheed Martin’s F-35 was Finally ready For combat, he also slid an advertisement to navigators: the purchase of these units It was going to be record. Since then until now they have passed many things. Updates, conflicts, wars and a Rearme in Europe which promised to inflate Washington’s wallet at the rhythm of fighters. In fact, Spain had requested up to 50 F-35. That investment has vanished. Political decision, military impact. The Spanish government has decided paralyze indefinitely The acquisition of American hunting F-35 Lightning IIa decision that marks a drastic turn in the modernization of the armed forces and in the relationship with the United States within the NATO framework. Although in previous years he had advanced in conversations with Lockheed Martin and They had budgeted more than 6,000 million euros for an eventual request of 50 unitsthe Ministry of Defense has chosen to withdraw that operation from the agenda, in favor of an approach focused on European investment in defense. A not for Europe. The plan approved in April, endowed with More than 10,000 million In euros, it contemplates that 85% of that budget is allocated to companies and technologies of the continent, which leaves outside the Fifth American generation hunting, despite being the most advanced in service today. What is it for Spain. The most immediate and critical consequence of this resignation is suffered by the Navy. In 2030 It is planned the end of the useful life of their Harrier AV-8ba model that is already being removed by the United States and Italy and that will soon leave the Spanish Navy as the only world operator. Without spare parts or guaranteed maintenance capacity, prolonging its use has been ruled out. The only plane with vertical takeoff capacity that could replace the Harrier is precisely the F-35B, Naval Version of Lightning II. His absence will mean the total loss of the aviation capacity of fixed wing embarked, at least for several years, and will reduce the flagship Juan Carlos I to a simple helicopter platform. Options. To mitigate that void, the Navy has in charge of Navantia A viability study to build avisions capable of operating conventional aircraft with stop hook, which would open the door to naval fighters such as the Rafale M French. However, these would not be available before removal of the Harrier, so the operational loss will be inevitable. Options without horizon. Although in lesser emergency, the Air Force I also contemplated to F-35a as a replacement for its F-18 more modern, in service until approximately 2035. The intention was cover the transition period until the arrival of FCAS (Future combat air system), the ambitious European program of sixth generation that, at best, will not enter into operation before 2040. In that context, the F-35A was emerging as a logical intermediate solution, not only for its technological superiority, but also by His poaching demonstrated in recent actions such as the joint attack of the United States and Israel against nuclear infrastructure In Iran. Despite this, the Chief of the General Staff of the Defense, Teodoro López Calderón, publicly assumed The resignation of a fifth generation plane and has recognized that Spain must “survive with the fourth generation”, trusting The EurofightteRy waiting for FCAS (that is, a fifteen -year -old wait). Operational risks. He counted yesterday The country that the head of the Air Force, Lieutenant General Francisco Braco, He has warned That limit to Eurofighter as the only hunting in service entails technical and strategic risks, especially to possible structural failures that force the entire fleet to immobilize, as has already happened in other countries. Although he has mentioned the future option of Rafale F-5, currently in development in France, the reality is that it does not exist in the short term A European alternative Fully operational that competes with the F-35A in furtive abilities and digital integration. Transatlantic voltage. Beyond the operational considerations, the Spanish government decision has a obvious political dimensionaggravated by the recent shock Between Pedro Sánchez and Donald Trump at the NATO Summit held in The Hague. There, the Spanish president He unmarked of the agreed target of allocating 5% of GDP to defense in a decade, staying at 2%. Trump’s response It was direct: Threats of commercial reprisals and a scathing criticism of the attitude of Spain, which he accused of wanting to benefit from American protection without assuming costs. To this conflict is added the Senators Republicans who demand that European allies a firmer commitment to military spending and the purchase of American weapons. Rafale F-5 Pocazo to the US. The commercial background is not less: Trump seeks not only to spend more on defense, but those funds go to stop To US companies. He has already reached an agreement with the European Commission that allows him to impose a 15% tariff On a large part of European products, in exchange for the countries of the continent, they acquire US gas and armament for hundreds of billions. In that context, the unpublished Negative of Spain To buy the F-35 is seen in Washington as a direct affront to its strategic and economic interests. The technological dependence. One of the central arguments made by the Government to justify its position is the Defense of autonomy European strategic. Sanchez argues that suddenly increasing defense spending without its own industrial fabric robust enough would only serve to increase the dependence of the United States and renounce the development of continental military capacities. However, the paradox It is evident: A dozen European countries, including the United Kingdom, Italy, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland and Denmark, have already incorporated the F-35 to their fleets or have made orders. Everything indicates that it will be the common European hunting during the next decade, and its integration will create synergies in training, maintenance, interoperability and deployment. And the “button.” It We count some time ago. Although Lockheed Martin has offered to … Read more

The wolf hunting throughout Spain depended on a red button that changes its status. And Europe has decided to press it

by

The wolf has just seen how his future is complicated in European soil. And not because of pollution, global warming, a new disease that affects herds or the loss of their ecosystem. No. The key is in the EU Official Gazettewhich has just published the directive that degrades the status of protection of the species, passing it from “strictly protected” to only “protected”. Maybe it sounds like a smaller detail or pure community bureaucracy, but In the case of Spain It will allow hunters to reduce animals throughout the country. The reason: a chain of legal changes. What happened? After years of controversypolitical anger and a rifirrafe attempt between environmentalists and hunters, over the last months the wolf has seen how cracks opened in the legal armor that protected him from the hunters. And the reason must be sought in a series of decisions adopted nationally and community. In the case of Spain, one of the key steps to reduce the protection of the wolf In Marchduring the processing of the Law on Food Waste in Congress. Now there has been a new step in that same direction, but at the broader level, with a change that It has just officialized he EU Official Gazette. And what change is that? Basically degrades The status of the Canis lupus. Instead of being considered a “strictly protected species”, as until now, it appears in the list of “protected”. Without more. It may seem like a small adjustment, but in practice it supposes that the wolf will appear without nuances in the list of animals that “can be subject to management measures.” That is, hunt. The European directive was approved a few days ago, June 17but just officialize in the EU Official Gazetteas He has revealed eldiario.es. Again it may seem simple bureaucratic, but it has important repercussions: from now on it opens a period of 20 days For the entry into force of change, so on July 14 the wolf will have lost its “strictly protected” status. Is it a novelty? Yes. And no. The change made in the Habitat Directive to beginning of this month And his recent publication in “The Community Boe” are important news for their impact, but they will actually surprise few. The wolf’s legal armor has been a reason for debate at European level. The controversy can be at least 2022, when the president of the CE, Ursula von der Leyen, lost his favorite pony for the attack of a wolf. That same year Brussels commissioned a “In -depth analysis” on the increase of the species in the continent thanks to its legal armor against the hunters. What was your conclusion? “The concentration of wolves in some European regions has become a real danger to cattle and, potentially, also for humans”, He reflected Von der Leyen in 2023. In the same statement, the CE encouraged local authorities to “take measures when necessary.” What happened since then? That community machinery has continued working on the subject. TO late 2024 The Permanent Committee of the Berna Agreement voted in favor of the EU proposal to reduce the wolf protection status, so that it passed from “strictly protected” to only “protected”, and In March The Commission moved again to propose that this change was transferred to its Habitats directiveadaptation that He received green light This same month. And what happens in Spain? The wolf has not only been the protagonist of community policy. Throughout the last years it has also served to warm the debate in Spain, where environmentalists, hunters or the parliamentary arch itself differs on the degree of protection that the species must enjoy in the Peninsula. Ecologists in action He thinks for example, authorizing his hunt “turns his back on science.” For the RFF it will help the “coexistence” With the farmers. With that backdrop, three months ago Congress adopted a series of fundamental measures for the future of the wolf in our country. The most immediate affected the herds located north of the Duero River. The lower house He endorsed A change in The Royal Decree that develops the Lespre to eliminate the protection of the animals located in that territory and that the autonomies can decide on their hunting. In practice that meant returning them to the situation in which they were before 2021. And what happens to the south of the Duero? It is there where there will be news from now on. In March Congress He opened the door Also to be reduced by the protection of the wolf to the south of the Duero, but as long as its community protection is reduced before, something that has just been formalized. In that way The species comes out of the special protection regime list also south of the Duero River. Interestingly, the Congress of Deputies made the decision while processed a law on food waste management. The reason: the promoters of the amendment that made possible the change in the Statute of the Wolf They argued that the attacks of the wolves to the cattle generate thousands of kilos of lost meat.

20 years ago the button of a Samsung unleashed madness. So much that Mediamarkt had to take away the battery

by

A phone with such a curious button that Mediamarkt had to take away the battery so that users did not abuse it. It is the story of a Samsung proposal born 20 years ago, with a mechanism that aroused the curiosity of anyone who approached this phone. As you collect Xataka mobileit is one more proof of how Samsung has been the king of folding format for more than two decades. Launched in 2004, the Samsung P510 It was a phone Concha typewith double screen (interior and exterior) and a fairly particular characteristic. At that time, Concha type phones were not so different from the folding now: some force had to be made to open them. But Samsung wanted to go further with this particular model, and completely mechanized the operation of the hinge. It was enough to press a button so that the phone opened and closed its upper part, the lid. Being an electronic mechanism, this curious opening-giving was accompanied by an addictive sound. Nils Raetting account, Technological journalistthat there for 2004 he was working on an old German Saturn. Among the most prominent devices in sales in its store, the P510 takes the prize. Raetting reports that the influx of curious who went to the store in order to test the button was high. To this point, that the battery had to be removed from the exposure model so that both potential clients (as simply curious) did not abuse this mechanism. Social networks show Some short videos with the phone mechanismstill functional in several well preserved units. Surprise the speed at which the phone opens and closes, taking into account that we talk about a phone released in 2004. Although the P510 does not enjoy a memory as prominent in memory as other legends in the style of Motorola Razr V3 or the Nokia 6820, Some units are still sold on websites like eBay about 100 euros. We see descriptions such as “completely motorized, weird”, since this is a trend that the rest of the manufacturers did not follow. In fact, Samsung herself continues to bet in the middle of 2025 for the folding format of the shell type on phones such as the Galaxy Z Flip6. A telephone that there is no trace of a similar button, and to which it would not be easy to implement it given the folding nature of its panel.

OnePlus was the last bastion of the silence button. He has just replaced him to get into the AI ​​car

by

Apple was the first company to bet on A button that facilitated access to the functions of silence and sound. A simple idea, well executed … and with margin of improvement. There was OnePlus in 2015, to achieve it with the OnePlus 2 and his Alert Slider. OnePlus’s idea allowed something related to Android’s own nature and its three sound modes: silence, vibration and sound. It is a button that had been accompanying us for ten years, and that was destined to follow The same destination as Apple’s: Be replaced by something different. OnePlus was one of the companies back I was staying in the. He always opted for the balance between power and price, but artificial intelligence is already an essential in every smartphone that wants to aspire to fight the best. The death of alert slider The immediate consequence has been The death of alert sliderwhich has been replaced by what OnePlus now calls Plus Key. The first point to highlight is that this button will become customizable. Yes, it is exactly the same change you made Apple with the iPhone 15 Pro. We can start multiple actions, such as changing sound profiles, open the camera, start recordings or start translations. But, beyond the programmable functions, OnePlus wanted to go one step further and differentiate thanks to AI. This button will serve to activate AI Plus Mind, a new function centered on the Mind Space. Many new names, but the concept is easy to understand. Mind Space is a space within the phone (an app) in which We can save information related to events, photographs, audio recordings… is something very similar to what we recently saw with the Essential Space of Nothingand use artificial intelligence to make summaries out of the contents we have stored. The operation is easy: when you are sailing through any app that shows information that is of value (schedules, reservations, details of an ad), you press the new button (if you have it scheduled) or slide with the three fingers up. The content will be saved automatically in the Mind Space, it will analyze its content to extract the key data and can add them directly to your calendar. This function will be released in the OnePlus 13s, a brother of the brother of the OnePlus 13. For those state -of -the -art devices, such as 13, this function will come by OTA update. Climbing to the AI ​​car In addition to working in this new button and accompanying him from the Mind Space, OnePlus already has his “OnePlus Ai” ready. A set of artificial intelligence tools. Ai voicestrce: Record calls and meetings directly from messaging apps or video calls, then summarize them and translate them automatically. Ai Call Assistant (soon in India): Integrated in the ONPLUS 13S phone app, it will allow you to summarize calls or translate them in real time while talking. Ai translation: Unifle in a single app all translation functions – text, live voice, camera and screen – to facilitate communication in several languages. Ai Search: It allows to search naturally and conversational between files, notes, adjustments or calendars. Ai Reframe: Analyze your photos, detect the main subject and propose different automatic frames to improve the effortless composition. Ai best face 2.0 (Available in summer by OTA): Automatically correct group photos where someone has come out with closed eyes or bad face. It works with up to 20 people and even with images taken from other mobiles. With these new functions, OnePlus wants to start fighting in a competed land already mandatory for any manufacturer.

The government has a red button against Airbnb and has activated it in 65,000 floors

by

At the doors of summer, with the influx of international travelers in record levels and housing and Tourist massification converted into almost daily debate issues (yesterday motivated A protest In the Canary Islands), the government wanted to launch a resounding notice to the holiday rental platforms. The Ministry of Social Rights and Consumption has just claimed Airbnb to block Around 66,000 ads “illegal” tourist apartments spread throughout Spain. The message is clear: the State has the tools to regulate the offer in the holiday rental market. And has decided to use them. What happened? That the Ministry of Consumer He just remind you to Airbnb that must block almost 66,000 ads of tourist floors offered on its website. To be more prices 65,935 publications that, in the opinion of the technicians of the department of Pablo Bustinduy, can be considered “illegal.” It is not the first time that the Government is aimed at the rental platform to claim that you eliminate those publications, but now it does so with a draft argument in its favor: a favorable sentence of the Superior Court of Justice. Why’s that? As Remember from consumptionover the last months its technicians have sent three resolutions to Airbnb in which they order the platform that eliminates 66,000 ads of floors. Those responsible however share the consumption criteria and have resorted to the order before justice. Now the Superior Court of Justice of Madrid has ruled. And he does so giving him consumption in a resolution that affects a first batch of 5,800 ads of houses distributed by Andalusia, Madrid, Catalonia, Valencian Community, Basque Country and the Balearic Islands. Enough for the government to have launched a statement emphasizing the need for Airbnb to block all the ads that it considers “illegal”, the 65,935, something that has already demanded from the offices of Ireland. Why do you want to block them? Because in the opinion of the Government these publications do not respect the rules that holiday accommodations must comply with if they want to announce. “Specifically, the regulations of the different autonomous communities are violated where consumption has detected these ads. In all cases it is complete housing for tourist use, advertisements of individual rooms appear,” specify From the ministry. To be more precise, consumption considers that they fail three key guidelines. The main one is not to include the license or registration number, an obligation collected in several autonomous regulations and that supposes “the most common infraction” detected by the Ministry. The second is that the ads do not require whether the house is renting a company or particular. Finally, officials have also detected that (at least in some ads) a license is included that does not correspond to that issued by the authorities, the third infraction. What does Airbnb say? Which is willing to battle. In statements collected by The reasonthe platform says that “it will continue to resort all the decisions that affect this case” and accuses consumption of having used an “indiscriminate methodology”, including both “ads that show licenses” and “others that might not need it, as seasonal leases.” “He has also deliberately ignored resolutions of the supreme that make it clear that not all Airbnb ads require registration number.” Is it the first touch of attention? No. The Government (as well as other administrations regional) It has been aware of tourist floors, among other reasons for Tensions which generates in the residential market. One of its most ambitious initiatives is A unique registry of holiday rentals that seek to centralize the management, that all the registered floors have a license and that platforms such as Booking or the Airbnb Velan itself because the homes announced comply with the guidelines set by the Law for Rent. The notice launched by consumption is important for another reason, beyond the possibility of withdrawing almost 66,000 homes from the tourist rental market. It is a new touch of attention that is added to the sanctioning file open to late 2024 to a tourist floors rental platform for breaching advertising or activated regulations Last February. Why is it important? For the debate generated over last years around tourist rental and its impact on the price of housing and for the legal situation in which there are many apartments that are leaving for travelers. Just two months ago The country It echoed of a calculation of consumption that reveals that only 7% of the tourist housing ads offered in Madrid have a license. The Executive crossed the advertising of 16,335 tourist apartments in the city with the information of 1,131 permits in force granted by the City Council. Its conclusion: there are 15,204 homes outside the law. Image | Erwan Hesry (UNSPLASH) In Xataka | “My savings were there”: Spanish cities are already beginning to regulate their tourist floors

Your dedicated button goes against the entire industry

by

In Xataka we already have the CMF Phone 2 Pro between hands. The review will take a few days, but we are already testing some of its key points. This phone has a characteristic that, for the moment, no other Android smartphone has shown to date: a button dedicated to a space within the telephone software itself. The Essential Space. CMF is a nothing submarine, and shares software with the mobiles of this company. Essential Space It is one of the nothing mobile applications. It is a peculiar tool for saving ideas and reminders through audio notes, photographs and screenshots. To understand it better, imagine a super Google Keep of multimedia content instead of traditional notes. And now imagine that Keep is able to transcribe audios and analyze the multimedia content itself to establish reminders. The fast access button. Manufacturers are implementing two types of buttons, inspired by The steps that Apple is currently following. The first is a programmable button to be able to put the mobile in silence, launch applications or run any telephone function. The second is usually a camera trigger. CMF has not opted for one or another, its additional button functions as an integration in Essential Space. Its operation is as follows. Double pulsation from the desk: open the essential space A pulsation: screen capture + notes A long pulsation: screen capture + voice note. The integration of AI. The AI ​​in smartphones does not usually have a midpoint: either it works impeccably or is a disaster. In the case of CMF, I have to admit that I liked how this Essential Space works. Imagine you want to make a purchase list. You open the app of any supermarket. You give the Essential Key You add the note you want or the fast audio note Ready. When you go to the Essential Space, you will have a summary of the price, quantities and useful information about the food to buy, and the option to add reminders on it. This is applicable to any idea that you can think of. At least, in my particular case, I make enough screenshots and I have enough ideas too scattered (Instagram post, purchase lists, gift ideas, etc.). Being able to centralize everything in a single app that, in addition, is in charge of the reminders with the button, it seemed like a great idea.

The problem of Ukraine is not just the lack of weapons. USA has a “button” to deactivate the artillery already sent

by

In just one week we have heard Up to two plans Very different from Europe to defend Ukraine. In between, the old continent has even reached Talk about rearma After years of “peace.” All this gives an idea of ​​to what extent there is a dependency of the American Arsenal and Intelligence. It is not just that Washington Medites pause the help. It could paralyze the already sent. The dependence problem. The abrupt retirement of military support from Ukraine has turned on the alarms Among its European allies, who begin to question their strong dependence on American weapons, software and maintenance. Even how far it goes. I counted in a extensive reporting the Financial Times That the situation remembers the fall of Afghanistan in 2021, when the American withdrawal left the Black Hawk helicopters of the Afghan army unusable, precipitating the fall of Kabul in a matter of months. Now, with Trump redefining foreign policy towards a more conciliatory position with Russia, European countries that have based their defense in US military technology face a structural vulnerability that could compromise their long -term safety. But there is more. The “off button.” For a long time, but now more than ever, there has been talk of those alleged “switches” capable of Turn off military technology that reigns in current conflicts. In fact and in European key, one of the greatest concerns is the possibility that the United States can deactivate remotely Advanced military systems through software, many of them already sent to Ukraine. An example: a team that needs remote update could become useless not to get the data. Although there are no conclusive evidence, told Financial Times Richard Abouulafia, an expert Analist at Aerodynamic Advisory, that “if something can be done with code, then there is.” However, the European agency goes beyond a possible “Kill Switch”, since, without spare parts, software updates and logistics support, that “button” is already in many weapons that would be inoperative in a matter of weeks. The level of dependence. The story takes us to the output grill. The European military agency in the United States has increased dramatically in recent years. Between 2019 and 2023, 55% of imports European defense came from Washington, in front of 35% In the previous five -year period, According to the International Stockholm Institute For Peace Research (Sipri). In fact, this respect, the former Secretary of Defense of the United Kingdom, Sir Ben Wallace, warned that, if he were still in office, his priority would be Evaluate military units from Europe and determine if a strategic change is necessary to reduce vulnerability to Washington decisions. The example of F-35. He F-35 hunting It happens to be the most advanced combat plane in the world, but also a clear symbol of European vulnerability. The reason? The plane depends completely on United States Logistics Supportincluding software updates, missions planning and threat databases through the Autonomic Logistics Information System (ALIS), which is being replaced by the Odin Network (Operational Data Integrated Network). That “button” we were talking about is there, and although Europe physically possesses the combat plane, it can become obsolete. Nations in problems. Countries like Denmark, which have considered deploying F-35s in Greenland, could find a critical problem: if the United States decides to withdraw their access to support infrastructure, These airplanes would be inoperative. Even before the Trump administration, the United Kingdom, one of the main buyers of the F-35, demanded “operational sovereignty” on their fighters, achieving Certain concessions in 2006. However, no ally has access to the system source code, which keeps Washington with Absolute control. For its part, Switzerland has tried to reassure its population by stating that its F-35 fleet can operate “autonomously”, but He also admitted that no western hunting can work completely without safe communication systems and satellite navigation of the United States. The British nuclear weapon: another example. We told yesterday. The United Kingdom’s nuclear deterrent system is also closely linked to the United States. As? Your strategic submarines use Trident Balistic Missileswhich are leased to Washington and require periodic maintenance at the King’s Bay Naval Base, Georgia. Although analysts consider unlikely that the United States cuts the maintenance of the TRIDS, Nick Cunningham, an analyst at Agency Partners, argues that The system remains “A critical point of vulnerability to the United Kingdom.” Some experts suggest that London should evaluate alternatives, such as French M51 missilessince France and the United Kingdom are the only nuclear powers in Europe. Intelligence and surveillance, also “mortgaged.” If we raise the framework the scope of American power is amplified. Much of the intelligence, surveillance and recognition capabilities (ISR) in Europe They depend on collaboration with the United States. Countries such as the United Kingdom, Norway and Germany use American spy airplanes and drones that require Washington authorization to be armed or deployed in offensive missions. For example, Italy and France faced a long approval process to equip Your reaper drones With missiles, demonstrating how the United States maintains control over the weapons of its allies. Plus: true fear in Europe is not only the possible loss of individual systems, but the possibility that the United States withdraw logistics support and intelligence Shared in the middle of a conflict, which would affect the operation of fighters, Chinook helicopters and Apacheas well as air defense systems such as The patriot. The beginning of a break in the western alliance. It is the last of the legs to be treated. The growing distrust in the reliability of the United States as a strategic partner could have devastating consequences for the American defense industry. For decades, Washington has used the promise of military protection and cooperation to ensure the sale of its weapons, but the recent decision of withdraw support to Ukraine He has sown doubts about the sustainability of this promise. There are data that already corroborates it. The actions of the main US defense companies They have fallenwhile European manufacturers have experienced A boom after Trump’s re -election. … Read more
