Germany's Cobra 600 is essentially a flying missile rail. It copies the Shahed-136's A2A concept already demonstrated in Ukraine. It is armed with a single IRIS-T missile and comes equipped with 2x JetCat P1000 PROs for propulsion. These put out 1100N max thrust each.
Compare the P1000 to the SoluNox engines made in Pakistan, which range to about 800N per their official literature. Perhaps it was last year that I posted that these engines could enable maneuverable, nearly-attritable loyal wingmen. Now you see below what one of these might look like.
Another point of consideration is engine price. Chinese engines generating 1100N of thrust are ~$10K when bought in quantities of one(!). This is an illustration of how competition has shifted from platforms to cost + production capabilities. A reasonable cost estimate of an equivalent Chinese or Iranian "flying missile rail" is perhaps $50K.

This is the earliest known dated Arabic papyrus with the full basmala. It is dated around 641 CE / 20 AH, less than a decade after the Prophet ﷺ.
This proves the basmala was part of the written administrative culture of the earliest Muslims and not a later liturgical slogan.

🚨 ایک بھارتی خاتون انیتا پٹیل نے ایک کنسرٹ کے دوران ایک چینی شخص پر چاقو تان لیا کیونکہ اس چینی نے اس کی شادی کی پیشکش مسترد کر دی تھی۔ سوشل میڈیا پر گردش کرنے والے دعوؤں کے مطابق، خاتون چینی شہریت حاصل کر کے مفت سہولیات سے فائدہ اٹھانا چاہتی تھی۔
🇮🇳Indian "Saar" plays big-shot international journalist, massacres English on New York’s Mayor, and the whole interview ends without a single answer, just a triumphant “a.a.aa, a,a,aa!” 🤣

IRGC Navy:
Following the repeated violation of the ceasefire terms by the American enemy, the Strait of Hormuz will be closed until further notice.
We warn that no vessel should depart from its anchorage in the Persian Gulf or the Gulf of Oman.
Approaching the Strait of Hormuz will be regarded as cooperation with the enemy.
BREAKING: Pakistan’s football team has won the 2026 Diamond Jubilee International Football Tournament in the Maldives, defeating Afghanistan in the final.
This marks Pakistan’s first official international football tournament title. Previously, the team were joint winners of the 1952 Ceylon Cup alongside India. The senior side also secured gold at the 1991 South Asian Games; however, that was a multi-sport event rather than a standalone football competition.
The US has even released visuals of its strike on the Indian commercial vessel Settebello off the Oman coast.
The 21-member Indian crew has been rescued, while 3 remain missing.
India has summoned the US Chargé d’Affaires (CdA) after the strikes to lodge a protest.
More lies by ICC-wanted war criminal #Netanyahu. Messing with brotherly neighbors like #Syria & #Lebanon, expanding illegal Israeli occupation of their territory, is a challenge Ankara cannot ignore. If he were smart, he'd refrain from fighting #NATO's largest military in Europe.

FCAS fighter is dead, but Germany has a new plan.
The day after France and Germany killed the joint NGF, Airbus Defence and Space led seven German companies in sending a letter to Chancellor Merz proposing a new German-led "Team Gen 6" alliance to build a 6th-gen fighter for Europe.
The group — Airbus, Hensoldt, MBDA Deutschland, MTU, Rohde & Schwarz and others — plans to formally sign and unveil at ILA Berlin this week, timed to Germany's new national aviation strategy.
The pitch: German industry is ready to lead what Franco-German industrial politics killed.
Spain is the natural next partner; Sweden/Saab is also in play.
France will likely go its own way with a Dassault-led Rafale successor.
GCAP (UK/Italy/Japan) isn't ruled out but isn't the focus.

Turkish President Erdogan:
We have intensified our preparations to ensure that the Ankara Summit becomes a landmark in NATO's history.
The recent announcement that President Trump will personally attend the summit is a valuable step for the cohesion and unity of the Alliance.
The Awami Action Committee claims that the seats reserved for migrants (Muhajirs) were established much later. For their info, the first cabinet of Azad Kashmir, formed in 1947, had six ministers, two of whom Ghulam Din Wani & Sanaullah Shamim were Muhajirs & residents of Rwp
