A U.S. Air Force Boeing RC-135V Rivet Joint electronic... reconnaissance aircraft, assigned to the 55th Wing at Offutt Air Force Base, Nebraska, and operated under Air Combat Command, is actively conducting intelligence-gathering missions in the vicinity of Cuba. Recent flight tracking data shows the aircraft (tail number 64-14841) flying extended patterns parallel to Cuba's northern coast over international waters, collecting signals intelligence (SIGINT/ELINT) without entering Cuban airspace. These operations, visible on platforms like FlightRadar24, align with heightened U.S. monitoring in the Caribbean region amid rising regional tensions.show more

🇺🇸 The B-21 Raider just cut its testing timeline... from 180 days to 73, completed all test objectives with half the planned missions, and locked in $11.8B in funding. The Air Force is calling it a win on efficiency. They're probably right. But next-generation stealth bombers don't get second chances. Cutting test time by 60% raises a real question: are the gaps small enough that they'll never matter, or are they the kind that only surface when it counts? Speed is great. Speed with holes in the data is a different story entirely. Source: U.S. Air Forceshow more

Unfortunately, I noticed that CENTCOM released footage of the... destruction of a historic fighter jet at the 3rd Tactical Fighter Base of the Iranian Air Force in Dezful. It was a decommissioned MiG-23BN of the Iraqi Air Force that had defected to Iran in 1991 and I was trying to have it transferred to the Iranian Air Force Museum in Tehran in 2012. However, the aircraft remained in Hamedan following to my arrest by the Iranian Ministry of Intelligence, and unfortunately this historic aircraft was destroyed today. This MiG-23BN defected to Iran in January 1991 during Operation Desert Storm, and it was one of the over ten MiG-23s that defected to Iran. Unfortunately, almost all of them were scrapped in Dezful and Hamedan and their wreckage were moved to Tehran, and the last one, which was supposed to be displayed in the museum, was finally destroyed by a U.S. Air Force MQ-9A drone in Hamedan. I also noticed that all F-4s of Shahrokhi Air Base had already been evacuated from the base to protect them from the threat of U.S. airstrikes. Therefore, what remained there was this historic MiG-23BN of the Iraqi Air Force, which was parked in one of the hardened aircraft shelters. I never managed to photograph it myself but I have a photo of this in my archive and I will release it. #OperationLionsRoar #OperationEpicFuryshow more
