The American bombers at RAF Fairford are, like the Russian bombers above, parked on the tarmac. They have been visible on satellite imagery as well as this view from a news helicopter. There are no shelters at RAF Fairford capable of housing a B-1 or B-52.

At the right moment, the tops of the containers popped open and the drones launched towards the bases, controlled remotely by Ukrainian operators. The flew the short distance to the base and landed on whatever Russian bombers they could find, destroying a huge number.

For those who don't remember, Operation Spiderweb involved Ukraine infiltrating numerous containers pre-loaded with small explosive-laden quadcopter drones. The containers were placed within a short distance of a number of Russian air force bases that housed Russian strategic bombers.

Singapore is buying US-made and designed artillery systems but they're "Israeli" products because Elbit gets to slap their name on the final product.

I've got a few ideas on how to handle uppity campus groups that dont do what administrators want! Luckily we've got experience doing this to students quite recently.

Al Mawasi before Joe Biden decided to be Israel's Santa Claus (image, Feb 2023) vs after (image, Dec 2024). Most of these tents are refugees from Israel's May '24 Rafah offensive-Biden's "Red Line" which, if crossed, he would totally Do Something (he didn't do anything, Rafah was depopulated)

Listen every lib's gangsta about the military coup until the F-16s are actually going supersonic over the capital and tanks are blocking key bridges and scared guardsmen are firing machine guns into crowds of people and AH-1s are firing 20mm cannons into the Pentagon

I agree but you can't talk about the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait without the Iran-Iraq War, which was also very much a Gulf War. So whether you want it to start with the 1979 Iranian Revolution or the Iraqi invasion of Khuzestan, I feel like it's gotta be included.

American planes are so incredibly ugly and rizzless that whenever the US Air Force birthday comes around, everyone just pretends we have French or Russian planes to avoid the humiliation of posting our own planes

For example, here's a photo of a parade in Sanaa featuring 3M9 missiles for the Soviet 2K12 Kub surface-to-air missile system, apparently modified and deployed under the name "Fater 1"

The E-3 destroyed here was destroyed *after* airframes were dispersed across the airbase (which is huge) and subsequently struck precisely by an Iranian drone, likely Shahed 136. Most publicly-known damage to key systems, ie. AN/TPY-2 radars were hit by drones.

Rumors (with evidence) that (presumably) Houthis struck and seriously damaged the East-West Crude Oil Pipeline that transports Saudi oil drilled in the Persian Gulf area to the Red Sea port of Yanbu.

Interesting to see Al Jazeera occasionally use "Al Azraq" for Muwaffaq Salti. This is a name that Iran exclusively uses, as Lt. Muwaffaq Salti was a Jordanian Air Force pilot martyred during an Israeli attack on the West Bank (then controlled by Jordan) in 1966.

While I don't want to say that's the case here without further evidence, I do remember the E-3 at PSAB being described as "damaged" as well

CBS reporting that eight F-15s and an A-10 were damaged in yesterdays Iranian missile barrage on MSAB in Jordan.
