Strictly speaking, this is the second time we've seen debruis from what looks like 9M729/SSC-8 Screwdriver debris in Ukraine. (This is the Russian INF violater.) (1/2)

Across the shallow turquoise water, dark ribbons unfurl like ink spilled through silk—oil and debris drawn into long, serpentine eddies by the Gulf’s tidal currents. The sea, usually luminous and still, becomes a canvas of violence. Herein passes Shahid Bagheri into shadow.

Having just seen long lines for cooking gas cylinders on the streets of cities in India — one of many bystanders to the conflict whose population has been seriously impacted—I’m struck yet again by how relatively insulated the U.S. is from the wars it unleashes

DF-16 from mid 2010s, with a submunition warhead.

Employment of submunition warheads against land based targets is well established, but for the PLA, their use for large and medium naval targets from AShBMs are more interesting especially from a mission kill pov.

With Russian, Ukrainian, and Iranian airspace closed, there's just a tiny needle eye left for international flights from Europe to Asia. Some airlines are profiting from the current situation more than others. Source: https://t.co/LlO03IPPKc

Japan is expected to begin deploying domestically developed long-range missile systems, marking its shift towards an operational ‘counterstrike’ posture supported by new strike capabilities and information-gathering enablers.

A Chinese student programmed a website that maps 5,000 objects from the British Museum that were taken from 99 countries.

It shows where they were taken from and what the museum would look like if everything "found" around the world were returned.

Two more Type 055 DDGs got commissioned

A total of 10 now, four more are at various stages of trials so 2026 may even end with 12 in service if not more

To watch in the next 24 hours: Japan is on alert for a possible release of its strategic petroleum reserve, the world's 3rd largest (after China and US).

Tokyo may act alone, without US/IEA involvement.

The American SPR is very well known; so it's the Chinese -- but Japan has its own massive oil stockpile, split in 10 sites (ground tanks, underground tanks, floating tanks and rock caverns). In total, the governmet holds ~260m barrels (vs ~415m for the US).

Plus, Tokyo mandates private sector stockpiling, and it has joint agreements with Saudi Arabia, UAE and Kuwait to store additional crude in the country. Those deals bring another ~178m barrels.

According to official data, Japan holds in total about 440 million barels in stockpile, enough for 204 days of its imports (most from the Middle Easts).
