A very kind gift from my dear friend @vcdgf555.bsky.social.

Why America's giant bunker-busting bombs may have failed to reach their target
Reaching Iran's most fortified nuclear enrichment site is a challenge, even for the world's biggest conventional weapons.

The orientation of the Carl Vinson carrier strike group is in a defensive ring of 25 kilometers with air defense positioned toward the greater threat likelihood: two facing out to the WNW toward Houthi-controlled Yemen, and one covering the rear.

US CENTCOM tweeted ~1hr ago a video dated Feb 23 showing an airstrike from the perspective of an MQ-9A Reaper over Idlib, Syria. The lack of explosion and resulting damage would suggest that this is (to my knowledge) the first footage of an R9X Hellfire in use.

Ten years ago today, we woke up to what some were calling “the Blizzard of 2015.” Here’s a look back at some of the most remarkable statistics from the "Snowmageddon" winter.

India's LRAShM is its longest ranged, solely conventional missile yet and is an example of its mature missile development capability. With a stated range of over 1500km, this hypersonic missile will enable India to target Chinese forces located on the Tibetan plateau and beyond.

General Atomics MQ-9B N479SG has been flying these arc patterns over the Yuma Test Center in New Mexico for the last four hours near a US CBP TARS aerostat. For 2 hours, it flew at 20,000ft versus the aerostat's 10,900ft. Then, it dropped down to 5,900ft.

Brand new E-11A BACN as BACN08 departed from the Lockheed Martin hangars at Martin State Airport just outside Baltimore, heading west. The newest BACN was delivered to the US Air Force at the end of last month. It is possible that this is N808LP. H/t @srplanespotter.bsky.social #ADSB #AE77A5

VALKYR22 is almost certainly WK022, which would be a new airframe that I have not seen before. The hex code matches with previously-identified WK025 with hex 43C809. Excellent spot by @borrowed7time.bsky.social.
