    US is to supply Israel with 30,000 lb MOAB (Mother Of All Bombs). Contrary to common belief, it’s not a “deep penetrator” but an air burst bomb. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GBU-43/B_MOAB Israel aims to use them against Iran’s underground nuclear program facilities as they admittedly told...

    True, not after breaking sound barrier but just when breaking through it. So, it must have been that particular sequence. i believe a so called vapor cone is created and is related to humidity. Since I’m not a technical person can’t explain the physics involved there properly 😕 Of course...

    I got a hunch that what they really want is the brand new ones expected to enter service around ‘26. I think RAF T1s are ’precondition’ of whole deal. Nevertheless, when you consider that we have zero knowledge of the aircraft, it kinda makes sense, too.

    “According to the Spanish newspaper @larazon_es , 40 Typhoon jets, the first 20 of which will be second-hand from the UK and the other 20 of which will be newly produced, are expected to enter service with Meteor missiles between 2026 and 2030.” Not what we hoped for but also it’s a known fact...
