UK Rules Out Sending HMS Prince of Wales to Ukraine War
The United Kingdom has confirmed it will not redeploy the HMS Prince of Wales aircraft carrier from the Indo-Pacific region to Europe amid the ongoing Ukraine conflict.
UK Chief of the Defiance Staff Admiral Tony Radakin
stated
that there are no plans to involve the carrier in the Russia-Ukraine war.
Admiral Radakin addressed recent media speculation suggesting US dissatisfaction with the UK's decision to send its flagship naval vessel to the Indo-Pacific. He clarified that the UK does not anticipate the conflict escalating in a way that would require deployment of the HMS Prince of Wales.
Since leaving Portsmouth in April, the HMS Prince of Wales has been participating in Operation Highmast, a major naval deployment across the Indo-Pacific. The strike group is conducting joint exercises and port visits in the Indian Ocean alongside forces from the United States, India, Singapore, and Malaysia.
UK naval forces are also set to take part in Exercise Talisman Sabre near Australia with 19 allied nations, followed by joint training operations with Japan's Self-Defense Forces.

Israa Farhan The United States has approved the sale of advanced combat rescue helicopters and related equipment to Norway in a deal worth $2.6 billion, further reinforcing the NATO member's defense capabilities amid heightened regional security concerns.
