Typhoon jets to receive cutting-edge' radar upgrade
"Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story."
"Mr Healey will confirm the contract award during a visit to Leonardo UK's Edinburgh site on Thursday morning. The upgrade, involving defence firms BAE Systems, Leonardo UK, and Parker Meggitt, will install state-of-the-art radar technology over the coming years. This work directly secures 300 roles in Edinburgh, 120 in Lancashire, and over 100 in Luton, as part of the wider Typhoon programme supporting more than 20,000 jobs across 330 British companies."
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
Donations fund on-the-ground reporting across reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech while keeping reporting free without paywalls. Defence Secretary John Healey will announce a 453 million investment to equip Royal Air Force Typhoon jets with advanced radar systems, to be confirmed at Leonardo UK's Edinburgh site. The upgrade involves BAE Systems, Leonardo UK and Parker Meggitt and will install radar technology over coming years. The work secures about 300 roles in Edinburgh, 120 in Lancashire and over 100 in Luton, contributing to a Typhoon programme supporting about 20,000 jobs across 330 British companies. The announcement comes amid NATO pressure and reports of Russian drones striking Ukraine and violating NATO airspace.
