250 F404 fan sections is a lot if you only have about 200 F404s and are retiring your F-18 fleet over then next decade.

It was recently reported that the commander of the Russian Volunteer Corps, Denis Kapustin, was killed in action. This has been revealed to be a fake and part of a special operation by Ukraine's GUR. Essentially, Ukraine faked his death and collected the bounty for it.

„The special cargo aboard the 🇷🇺 Russian arms ship #UrsaMajor that sank off Cartagena last year was not what its crew initially reported, according to La Verdad. The blue-tarped objects on the vessel's stern were likely naval reactor components, unfueled and potentially headed for 🇰🇵 North Korea“.

CSIS: “This ship will never sail. It will take years to design, cost $9 billion each to build, and contravene the Navy’s new concept of operations, which envisions distributed firepower. A future administration will cancel the program before the first ship hits the water.”
