According to Sky News Arabia; Mossad was able to Inject a Compound of Pentaerythritol Tetranitrate (PETN) into the Batteries of the New Encrypted Pagers that Hezbollah began using around February, before they even arrived in the Hands of Hezbollah Members, allowing them to Remotely Overheat and Detonate the Lithium Battery within the Device.

Cost benefit goes to Ukraine
A Palianytsia cost:
Engine: $12k
Airframe: $15k
Warhead: $10k
Guidance: $500
Controls: $2k

For under $40k, Ukraine can autonomously reach +300 miles into Russia. @JakeSullivan46 must be soiling himself.

With a new era for Britain, we need a new era for defence.

Today, the PM and I launched Britain’s Strategic Defence Review.

Pleased to join @Keir_Starmer and former NATO Secretary-General Lord Robertson, who will head our external review team, to begin this work at pace.

@thinkdefence Ask the chiefs to come up with a manning figure for each branch that allows the forces to do what they currently do but without “running hot”. 20 A400M, 4 P8, 3 E7, 60 Medium lift helicopters (probably the AW). Double the number of OPVs.

@nicholadrummond They move at set speed regardless of incline from 1km/h up to 4km/h which is pretty brisk up the Bavarian Alps! From memory it is the support weapons units that use them. Mortars, ATGMs and HMGs.

@timinbrum @thinkdefence The Army should be able to field a Div for a 6 month deployment at VHR and have one on standby. Preferably have a third Div in the Army Reserve if it all goes really wrong. Maintaining that many troops in the field will need a major government rethink.

@thinkdefence New Boxer module?

@RugbyInsideLine “What’s left”

[Mick @strelleymike]

@RugbyInsideLine Devalues the league? It has to have a value in the first place. A 10 team league with no promotion/relegation is nothing to shout about. Also, Prem Rugby letting three clubs go to the wall in quick succession without any work with the championship to replace them is a joke.

@MilitaryBanter I got an Agai 67 for coming off an overnight guard duty in battalion HQ and having not had a shave. 🤦🏻‍♂️
