Southern Cypriots said it was from Lebanon. - Azerbaijan released a notam closing the southern part of its FIR for "ops reasons".

Why would Pakistan attack Israel? Countries and governments be it democratic, autocratic or theocratic first care about their wellbeings, then their people's wellbeings. Israel is not a threat to Pakistan; it's barely on its periphery.

Meh. They did try hard to have peace with US before, during and after the hostage crisis, even after Lebanon. This is also multifaceted. They never pressed the button on going the last mile for nukes for 2 decades. Counter-revolutionary events are hardly religion specific. But it didn't...

Drones struck near Nakhchivan airport in Azerbaijan.

Yup totally forgot about my staging. It is the booster. Unsure about the Iranian one being a booster however, at least 700kms after possible launch site? A bit late, no?

For one we don't know if only a single interceptor was launched or any other details of the engagement at this stage. We don't actually even know if only one BM was launched. Me approving something doesn't matter, it just is. This is the "RoE" in peacetimes like these. During national...

No. All air defence systems and early warning radars in Turkey(except the nonoperational S400 battery in Mürted) operate under the BHHM/CAOC Torrejon which answers to Ramstein at the moment. There's a subunit in Eskişehir at 1st AJÜ and all information goes through there, allowing Turkey full...

China is disinterested in keeping anyone in check outside of their neighbourhood. Doubt it, link me.

Doesn't really matter the class. Target was barely a corvette, more than likely they had no idea they were being watched and more than likely they were completely clueless until the last moment. Sad really. If Iran wasn't such a pariah, a barely combatant vessel being struck in a busy shipping...

Finally a little bit of movement on this front. But as usual this can go two ways. Few more MoUs before everyone forgets about it in 10 years, or some solid results.

Finally someone caught Havasoj in air.

This is untrue. We have footage of Emirati fighters in air at night refueling armed with full A2A loadouts, Qatari fighters flying with their transponders on and written accounts of officials talking about interceptions. We only have a handful of drones and rockets hitting these countries...

It can't, process is pretty apparent. Gazap is an Mk-84 sized 1 ton bomb; there's nothing "terrifying" about it.

It's not a radar, it's a satcom radome at 5th Fleet headquarters in Bahrain and the "damaged" image is AI. We only have the video of the impact. The radar Iranians claim they destroyed in Qatar and the radar Al Jazeera supposedly got confirmation from Qatari army is different, it's a huge...

Satcom housing.

They are aiming to increase facilities to allow 30 jets per year; but current orderbook until 2028 is 24 aircraft. Good that they recognize their lack of current access and maintenance hubs in continental US. If Piaggio is to thrive, they need the US market. "Baykar Piaggio Aerospace's budget...

I'm yet to receive a retort to these points I made last year.

Meh. I have my strong doubts that A400M can carry components of a S400 battery. Not just the dimensions but by weight as well. Regardless that's at least 8 sorties without considering the missile loads. These are huge 8x8 vehicles, lightest of which weight 30-35 tons. For example for the latest...

ISIS was so evil that literally every country on earth foregone their problems and started working together to kill them. Stop with this. Noone cares about their videos or propaganda. "Group lies on their propaganda piece" is not a high bar to cross for any terror group.

It hit us immensely because we're part of the same ecosystem; made it 10x harder for any company to get export licenses to Turkey; and basically burned SSB. China was never that connected; but all this was part of separating Chinese firms from having access to west for exports, which did mainly...
