Since I do not serve in the US military, I don't know for sure, but I would be really surprised if it was not the case, especially for ships and planes. I'd imagine keys are rotated on regular basis. If you think that Russia has a

The article implies that AIS was spoofed by the Russian side, but I find it more likely it was a case of trolling from the Ukranian side. Considering that USA and Russia have significant SIGINT capabilities in the region, finding source of

It's for European countries to decide from whom they want to import energy and not, isn't it? But for some reason the biggest opponent of this "reliance" is the US, not the affected European countries.

Just buy your nuclear plant from Russia or China. They don't have a habit of using dependency on their high-tech export to strangle other countries (hell, Russia even supplies its nuclear fuel to Ukraine, even though it could've b

They can easily show discrepancies by publishing everything without hiding the important information. But for some reason they don't. AFAIK they even haven't bothered to specifically indicate which parts exactly are not authentic.

When I learnt that turbines on Texas nuclear plants stay under the open sky I was REALLY surprised. It was the reason behind the single failure, otherwise nuclear plants have weathered this crisis perfectly.

It does not look to me like Russia is struggling with exporting its reactors and building them domestically. Areva's issues look to me as purely organizational and political, not technical.

Submarine, aircraft, and icebreaker reactors usually operate on military-grade fission materials. You don't want those to be exported all over the world. And a bigger reason is that they simply can not compete with bigger plants. 1 GW

Do you deny that EU has a limited geopolitical independence and the US exerts a strong influence over it? In my book it's called a leash. It's not so different from Russia trying to keep on the leash (with varying success) countri

Yeah, I also read that the order to copy CPUs developed by the West has greatly demoralized Soviet engineers working in this field. You should learn from your competitors and build on top of that.

No, it's impractical to use civilian reactors for generating materials for a nuclear bomb (I don't count "dirty" bombs as nuclear). Also usually spent fuel rods are returned to the country of production.

You can get a rough measurement of the scale effect by comparing Hinkley Point C and Olkiluoto with cost of new VVER plants and time which it takes to build them.
