A pair of exoatmospheric Iranian ballistic missile interceptions over central Israel tonight.

South Africa's President gets a very warm welcome on arriving at the G7 in Canada and reciprocates. Both leaders have worked through strained relations with the United States in recent months and navigated tricky meetings in the Oval Office.

I met with President Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 ahead of the G7 tomorrow.    As G7 and G20 presidents, Canada and South Africa are leading in the face of similar challenges and opportunities. With the rules-based system under threat, international cooperation is more important than ever.

Some pretty neat imagery of the Chinese amphibious bridging system. Whether it works out as intended and how widespread its application will be for certain contingencies remains to be seen. But you just don't know until you try.

Three embarrassing errors in one brief tweet. There is no such thing as the "Republic of Canada." The host province, Alberta, does not have a "Governor" or a "Deputy Mayor."

A New Way Cargo Airlines IL-76TD freighter (#Reg. 🇰🇬 EX-76023) departed this morning from the military apron at 🇦🇪 Abu Dhabi International Airport, also known as #UAEAF Al Reef Airbase, and is now preparing to land at Bosaso Airport in Puntland 🇸🇴.

Kenyan Weapons Linked to Sudan’s Civil War. Excellent Bellingcat investigation traces weapons and ammo in RSF possession back to Kenyan state-run weapons maker. The US should ask its non-NATO ally about this... bellingcat.com/news/2025/06/1…

This is so sloppy. The Presidency 🇿🇦 is a guest, the ONLY African Head of State to be invited to the G7, by the host, Canada. It's a big deal. To write such inaccuracies is disrespectful. I'm not sure what's worse: "Republic of Canada" or calling Alberta a city? No man!

Kenyan Ammunition has been supplied recently to the #RSF, further intensifying the conflict in #Sudan 🇸🇩. Among the items ID are 🇰🇪 MOD-marked crates containing 7.62mm rounds, 14.5×114mm cartridges, and Chinese-made 82mm HE mortar shells. bellingcat.com/news/2025/06/1…

Incredible to be honest. This is a perfect example of main engine cutoff followed by reentry body separation as the missiles transition from boost to midcourse. The thick plumes are booster exhaust while the faint plumes are generated by the reentry bodies.

Ghana has lost $11 billion to gold smuggling with much of it finding its way to UAE. Shocking how so much of Africa's gold is enriching already rich Gulf states instead of their own people. reuters.com/sustainability…

There are significant opportunities in defence industry cooperation and capacity building too, but there has been less willingness to move forward quickly on that. There’s a risk it’ll become yet another lost opportunity for the SA DOD & the defence industry.

Once upon a time, if a US president urged the people of a foreign capital (with whom we are not at war) to evacuate and then POSTED WITH LOTS OF !!!!!!!! in them, we'd be very concerned about the health and stability of that president. Now everyone shrugs and says: well, Trump
