DTN News - DEFENSE NEWS: Russia Wants NATO To Resolve Afghan Helicopter Deal....NSI News Source Info # 1277

(NSI News Source Info) MOSCOW, Russia - November 27, 2010: Russia hopes that NATO will resolve the problems in financing a deal on the delivery of Mi-17 multipurpose helicopters to Afghanistan, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Thursday.
"As to the purchase and delivery of helicopters [for Afghanistan], the NATO secretary general made a proposal to us when he was in Moscow in December last year, and we said we were ready to consider it in the context of a joint trust fund, which would ensure shared financing of these deliveries," Lavrov said after a meeting with his Afghan counterpart, Zalmay Rassoul, in Moscow.
"However, some problems have come up on the NATO side, and several options are being considered at present which may help, I hope, to reach an agreement to strengthen the Afghan army with additional Russian helicopters," the minister said.

DTN News - DEFENSE NEWS: South Korea's New Defense Chief Talks Tough On North Korea....NSI News Source Info # 1276

(NSI News Source Info) - November 27, 2010: South Korea's new defense minister has called for tougher action against North Korean attacks, local media reported, as tension mounted after an artillery exchange and with China and the United States getting drawn into the row.
A Seoul newspaper also reported the government plans to sharply increase defense spending next year.
"We need to deal with North Korea's provocations strongly," Defense Minister Kim Kwan-jin was quoted as telling presidential aides by the Chosun Ilbo newspaper. "We need to hit back multiple times as hard."
The Korea Economic Daily said the government had proposed a 5.8 percent increase in the 2011 defense budget to about $27 billion to buy more self-propelled artillery and fighter-bombers, far more than the 3.6 percent rise this year.
It said parliament could approve an even higher amount, given this week's shelling by North Korean forces of a Southern island near the disputed maritime boundary.
Lawmakers have blasted President Lee Myung-bak's government for not responding strongly enough. At least four people were killed on the island of Yeonpyeong in the biggest bombardment since the end of the 1950-53 Korean War. The defense minister resigned, taking responsibility, and Kim, a career soldier, was appointed in his place.

"We are worried about additional documents coming out," US ambassador to Baghdad James Jeffrey told reporters at an embassy briefing.

DTN News - DEFENSE NEWS: Two Koreas Exchange Fire Across Maritime Border....NSI News Source Info # 1257

(NSI News Source Info) SEOUL, South Korea - November 23, 2010: North Korea on Tuesday fired dozens of artillery shells at a South Korean island, in one of the heaviest bombardments on the South since the Korean War ended in 1953.
South Korean President Lee Myung-bak, who has pursued a hard line with the reclusive North since taking office nearly three years ago, said a response had to be firm following the attack on Yeonpyeong island, just 120 km (75 miles) west of the capital Seoul.
The two Koreas are still technically at war -- the Korean War ended only with a truce --and tension rose sharply early this year after Seoul accused the North of torpedoing one of its navy vessels, killing 46 sailors.

Department procurement is involved.
Puzzling accounting in the Pentagon abounds. Weapon programs exceeded their budget by $300 billion in a single year. The Defense Department bought $13 billion in spare parts, $7 billion of which our troops don't need. Now, in its latest outrage, the department wants to pour $13 billion into its aging fleet of C-5 Galaxy cargo planes rather than purchase more capable aircraft, such as the C-17 Globemaster III.

DTN News - DEFENSE NEWS: India TODAY November 21, 2010 - After Obama, Now British Defence Secretary Liam Fox Readies Defence Pitch....NSI News Source Info # 1246
Source: DTN News - - SPECIAL REPORT compiled by K. V. Seth from reliable sources The Telegraph, Calcutta - India
(NSI News Source Info) TORONTO, Canada - November 21, 2010: The British defence secretary is set to kick off a series of high-profile military exchanges with India beginning next week even as the defence ministry heads towards a “downselect” of combat aircraft for a $12-billion order.
Sweden’s defence minister is expected in December, to prop up Swedish firm SAAB’s bid with its Gripen fighter aircraft. French President Nicholas Sarkozy and Russian President Dimitry Medvedev are also slated to visit India in the same month.
A downselect from the six aircraft in the fray is likely only around February. The competing aircraft are the F/A-18 Super Hornet and the F-16 Super Viper (Boeing and Lockheed Martin, both of the US), the Russian MiG-35, the Dassault Aviation’s Rafale (France), Sweden’s Gripen, and European Consortium EADS’ Eurofighter Typhoon that is being promoted in India by Germany and the UK.

Defense News: DTN News - Defense News: Russia Agrees To Cooperate With NATO On Missile Defense ShieldNSI News Source Info # 1245

Source: DTN News - - This article compiled by Roger Smith from reliable sources By Ilya Arkhipov and Gregory Viscusi - Bloomberg
(NSI News Source Info) TORONTO, Canada - November 20, 2010: Russia agreed to cooperate with NATO on a missile-defense system, expanding cooperation between the former Cold War adversaries as President Barack Obama pushes the U.S. Senate to ratify a nuclear-arms reduction treaty.
“Today we have not only buried ghosts of the past that have haunted us for too long,” said NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen after alliance leaders met today with Russia
n President Dmitry Medvedev at the end of a two-day summit in Lisbon. “We have made a fresh start.”
NATO is trying to turn the anti-missile system -- initially opposed by the Kremlin -- into a fulcrum for cooperation with Russia as part of the U.S.-driven “reset” of East-West relations.
