MPs Say UK Should Send Aircraft Carrier Through Taiwan Strait

A British carrier is set to be deployed late next month to the Indo-Pacific region as part of a UK-led freedom of navigation operation.

Hypersonic technology was a “game changer” which would inflict “devastating” damage on foes, he said, adding: “On Tempest there will be a large amount of energy available and I don’t rule out the use of directed energy” against “missiles of the latest generation, including hypersonic missiles.”
