WOW, Qatar sent its Rafale jets armed with MICA air-to-air missiles to escort the Pakistani Prime Minister's plane through Qatari airspace in a protective cordon all the way to the airport.
Bit of an overkill?

U.S. forces are prepared to sustain the blockade as long as it takes.
PteroDynamics Transwing is an innovative electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft concept.
It features wings that can fold, allowing it to switch between vertical lift and efficient forward flight.
This design reduces its size and drag, making it useful for advanced aviation missions.
⚡🇺🇸 How B-2 bombers disappear from radar
This simulation shows how electromagnetic waves interact with stealth aircraft surfaces.
The B-2 Spirit is designed with special shapes, radar absorbing materials, and unique coatings that scatter incoming radar waves instead of sending them back. This greatly reduces its radar signature and makes it very hard to detect.

Lifting the future of Chinook Block II.
We're working on new #Chinook autonomous capabilities that will give operators the flexibility to tailor crew size to the mission.
Take a look at what's possible.👇 #26Summit
My team lived off of the local economy in Africa for near four months without resupply… so yeah, at least they aren’t battling non stop traveler’s diarrhea 🤷♂️
You don’t join up for comfort.
You don’t join up for money.
You join up to serve your country, and you stay in to protect your brothers.
Embrace the suck. Everything ends.

Called it.
@CENTCOM@US5thFleet#NCAGS just published the Contraband List.
"In addition to enforcing the blockade, all Iranian vessels, vessels with active OFAC sanctions, and vessels suspected of carrying contraband, are subject to belligerent right to visit and search. These vessels, regardless of location, are subject to visit, board, search, and seizure."
Watch out ships Dark Feet ships in the waters of Southeast Asia and especially, the Malaysian EOPL
See the @UANI #GhostArmada list of +570 ships that have supported Iran oil exports.
They are now potentially subject to interdiction and seizure under the Laws of Naval Warfare (see tweet below).
Neutral States should also watch out to ensure they are acting neutrally.

A Chinese firm, MizarVision, posted detailed satellite imagery of U.S. forces in the Middle East while not disclosing its data sources.
@ChinaSelect analysis found @AirbusSpace satellites had multiple daily windows, up to 10 hours, where they could have captured imagery of U.S. troop positions before the Iran conflict. That imagery later appeared online via a China-based AI company.
"These documented facts present a troubling scenario: 1. A Chinese firm with undisclosed satellite sourcing published precise, annotated imagery of U.S. military assets at a specific base. 2. That imagery identified the exact aircraft types that were subsequently destroyed in a precise Iranian strike. 3. A technical analysis suggests Airbus Space satellites were the most plausible sources for that imagery,” concludes Chairman @RepMoolenaar.

The U.S. has been carrying NATO (literally) since its inception. If the rest of the NATO alliance suddenly had to pay for their own shit? Bye bye free social programs!
