When the last American leaves the base the Russians who are moving in will likely make a beeline for the empty hangars to film some lazy propaganda of them rummaging through whatever trash was left.

Not every day you see an Air Force pilot with an army system on his patch. The quoted photos were taken at Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia, which has a joint base security crew combining Air Force and Army personnel. The C-SUAS mission is supported by a patriot battery.

Interesting 'VEPR' UGV photographed in Ukraine as part of a field training exercise for the Liut Brigade. The radio-controlled UGV is shown with two mine dispensing racks, one loaded with TM-62 mines and the other with something else. Could be some sort of locally made box mine.

The Army is shopping around for a mobile 81mm mortar system that is similar to the 120mm Sling system developed by Elbit. Army SOF units have tested Sling for several years. Key difference desired is more mobility with a smaller 81mm mortar system that is dismountable in combat.

The undisclosed location is Prince Sultan Air Base in central Saudi Arabia.

Someone let the mobiks know that himars are back on the menu.

KDOV->EPRZ gonna be busy next week 👀

I am grateful to the United States House of Representatives, both parties, and personally Speaker Mike Johnson for the decision that keeps history on the right track.

Democracy and freedom will always have global significance and will never fail as long as America helps to…

NEW: Kurt Campbell, the No. 2 State Department official, met with Niger’s Prime Minister today & *accepted his demand that U.S. troops withdraw from the West African country* a move the US has long resisted that will transform Washington’s counterterrorism posture in West Africa

So my initial gut feeling was correct, it was not UAVs. The IAF carried out a standoff attack from Syrian airspace with Sparrow, likely Blue Sparrow, air-launched ballistic missiles released from F-15Is.

Booster wreckage was recovered in Iraq 👇🏻

The Chinese supersonic UAV spotted in the air?

Bruh. What strategic bomber doing?

This is a very dangerous situation for US troops in Iraq who would have minimal time to react if Iran targeted them.

This is very interesting because it suggests that the IAF launched an attack from outside Iranian using standoff weapons. Isfahan (where explosions are reported) is >400 km from the Iraqi border. Israel has no disclosed weapons with such range. Speaks to an unknown capability.

When it comes to writing about critical national security policy like the UK's nuclear defense posture Triazolam is his muse.

Cool story, but the patch is cooler

Israel has been doing this for months on end, SOP for the IDF in Syria and Lebanon is not a response lol
