Not hearing an awful lot else about some of these incidents and whether they are believed to be linked?
But as UK Counter-Terrorism Policing says: If you see something that doesn't look right, please report it!!

Might as well at this point.
Go on Argentina, Labour want you to take the Falklands... and Spain you might as well take Gibraltar the way this government is going...

3) Puma going no surprise, but half expect no replacement now
4) Watchkeeper (ordered by Labour) scrapping seems a colossal waste... maybe give to Ukraine?
5) I dread what the actual SDR will say... cancel Type 83, cancel GCAP, cancel Challenger 3?

Fire seen in Tel Aviv amidst reports of a possible impact, not clear if from debris or from an actual impact.

The AIB report makes no mention of mission equipment, because those details were not relevant to the cause of the crash. 17-4341 was, at the time of the crash, equipped with an as-of-yet unidentified pod that has shown up multiple times.
Picture shows four examples of a long, rectangular pod with rounded ends. The upper left corner has an annotation that reads "Japan, 2023" and shows the pod at an angle, mounted on an aircraft. Yellow, red, and pink lines note specific details on the pod. The lower left corner shows a similar-looking pod in the bucket of a yellow front-loader. This also shows red and pink lines marking similar details. The upper right corner shows another angle of the pod in the front loader bucket, this time from behind. Two cars are parked next to the dirt road the vehicle is driving on. The pod has yellow and red lines noting similar details. The lower right corner shows a similar-looking pod, missing a section after a crash. The annotation in the upper right corner of this frame reads "Syria, 2019". The torn end of the pod shows scraps of the materials that build out the frame of the pod, and a wire extends from it. The pod is leaning against a tree, sitting on the dirt and scattered rocks.
