🇺🇸🇰🇷 The US has officially created and deployed the... first permanent MQ-9 Reaper strike-reconnaissance UAV unit in South Korea, the 431st Expeditionary Reconnaissance Squadron, based at Kunsan Air Base. Interestingly, this is effectively the first revival of this unit since World War II, when it previously consisted of interceptors escorting strategic bombers during air raids on Japan. The squadron is subordinate to the 8th Fighter Wing, where F-16s are already based, and will become a key element for continuous monitoring of the demilitarized zone between North and South Korea. The MQ-9 can stay airborne for more than 24 hours, is equipped with an electro-optical/infrared system and an AN\/APY-8 Lynx radar, and can also carry reconnaissance pods and a payload of guided weapons. The deployment of the Reaper compensates for the withdrawal of manned RC-12 Guardrail reconnaissance aircraft and strengthens the intelligence system in the region, where both larger American reconnaissance aircraft and their South Korean counterparts are already actively operating.

Something interesting has happened in Sudan. A Turkish-made drone... shot down another Turkish drone over the country. A Sudanese Air Force Akıncı drone used a Roketsan Eren missile to shoot down a UAE-owned Akıncı drone of Ethiopian Air Force, operated in support of the RSF terrorists. This war in Sudan has become highly profitable for Turkey, as it is selling weapons to both sides of the conflict. Turkish drones used to be transferred to Sudan and Ethiopia by Iranian cargo aircraft, including Il-76TDs of the IRGC Aerospace Force. However, following the destruction of several of these aircraft by Israel in Tehran on March 8, 2026, Turkey has had to find another way to deliver its weapons to Africa.show more

#ThisDayThatYear | 26 May 1999 #OpSafedSagar — the Indian... Air Force’s codename for its air operations during the KargilWar1999 — was launched in support of ground forces under Operation Vijay. It aimed to flush out Pakistani regulars and intruders who had occupied Indian positions along the LoC in the Kargil sector. This was the first large-scale use of air power in the Kashmir region since the 1971 Indo-Pak War. Never before had an air force been tasked with such high-altitude precision operations in rugged mountainous terrain—making it a watershed moment in military aviation history. Operation Safed Sagar was a trailblazer in many ways: it saw air power employed in unconventional roles, demonstrated the effectiveness of limited use of air assets in a localised conflict, and shattered the long-held notion that use of air power would inevitably escalate into full-scale war. The operation not only showcased the versatility and resolve of the Indian Air Force but also established the deterrent value of calibrated air strikes—even in a low-intensity conflict. It proved that air power could decisively alter the course of battle without crossing international boundaries. #IndianAirForce #OpSafedSagar #IAFHistory #IAF रक्षा मंत्री कार्यालय/ RMO India Ministry of Defence, Government of India HQ IDS ADG PI - INDIAN ARMY INshow more

USAAF 14th PRS Spitfire PR Mk XI gunned down... at point blank range likely by a Luftwaffe Me 262 jet fighter in 1944 The incident pictured most likely involved Spitfire PR Mk XI PL782 flown by 2nd Lt Robert B Hilborn. The aircraft was intercepted over Lechfeld by Leutnant Alfred Schreiber of Erprobungskommando 262 in Me262 A-1a WerkNr. 110372 "White 3". This latter unit was the first to deploy the Messerschmitt jet and would later form Kommando Nowotny. Hilborn managed to bail out of his stricken aircraft and was taken prisoner. The USAAF insignia on the top of the port wing is clearly visible as the aircraft banks away and both the severe vibration on firing and size of the cannon shell impacts suggest 30mm gunfire consistent with the Me 262's MK 108 battery in the nose, and the jet aircraft would also have been able to comfortably keep up with the fast unarmed photoreconnaissance Spitfire variant at altitude. The 3cm Minengeschoss high-capacity shells were formidable projectiles each containing over 70 grams of high explosive and were designed to detonate within six or so inches of having penetrated the aircraft skin, destroying the aircraft structure in the process and rendering the aircraft unflyable after only a few hits. The amount of debris flying off the Spitfire after only three visible detonations is testament to the devastating effect of such fire. The US 14th Photographic Reconnaissance Squadron began to train with British-made Supermarine Spitfire Mk V fighters in July 1943 before equipping with the photographic reconnaissance PR Mk XI variant later that year. The squadron flew combat reconnaissance missions in the European Theater of Operations from August 12th 1943 until April 25th 1945. The squadron's Spitfires flew the majority of the target photography missions, including the first Spitfire reconnaissance mission over Berlin in March 1944, while the other squadrons of the 7th Photographic Group (Reconnaissance) equipped with F-5 Lightnings concentrated on photographic mapping. Deep penetration missions included reconnaissance of oil refineries to determine when repairs had been performed that could justify returning them to Eighth Air Force's target list. The Squadron earned a Distinguished Unit Citation for reconnaissance missions flown over France between May 31st 1944 and the end of June. The squadron flew over 300 successful sorties to support Operation Overlord, the invasion of Normandy. It flew missions over the Netherlands to support Operation Market Garden in October 1944 and conducted damage assessment of Germany until July 23rd 1945. In late 1944, the Spitfires, flying solo missions and relying only on speed and altitude for defense, began to prove vulnerable to the jet powered Messerschmitt Me 262 fighters entering service with the Luftwaffe. A squadron aircraft lost on September 5th 1944 was probably the first Army Air Forces loss to a German jet fighter. Erprobungskommando 262 had been formed in April 1944 at Lechfeld just south of Augsburg, as a test unit (Jäger Erprobungskommando Thierfelder, commanded by Hauptmann Werner Thierfelder) to introduce the Me 262 into service and train a corps of pilots to fly it. This was not Leutnant Schreiber's first go at an Allied reconnaissance plane, while flying over Munich on July 26th he encountered a Mosquito PR Mark XVI of No. 540 Squadron RAF piloted by Fl. Lt. A.E. Wall. Schreiber attempted to shoot down the unarmed Mosquito, though Wall evaded Schreiber's three attack runs and was able land safely at Fermo in Italy after what was the first air to air interception by a jet fighter in history.show more

⭕️NOW: The IDF is striking Hezbollah’s “Radwan Force” terror... targets in the Beqaa region of Lebanon. IAF fighter jets, guided by the Intelligence Directorate and Northern Command, are targeting military compounds used to train Hezbollah terrorists for attacks against Israeli civilians and soldiers. The “Radwan Force” was behind Hezbollah’s “Conquer the Galilee” plan. Its commanders were eliminated in Operation “Northern Arrows” in 2024, but the unit has since been operating to reestablish its capabilities. These sites, where terrorists trained in gunfire combat and weapons use, are a clear violation of past understandings between Israel and Lebanon and a direct threat to Israel’s security. The IDF will continue to dismantle Hezbollah’s terror infrastructure and prevent any effort to reestablish its capabilities.show more

🚨 BREAKING: DRONE PRODUCTION FACILITY HIT IN IRAN Reports... indicate that a drone manufacturing unit linked to the Iranian regime has been targeted in Isfahan during ongoing U.S. and Israeli air operations. Isfahan is a critical hub for Iran’s military industry, housing facilities tied to missile systems, airbases, and drone production used by the regime and its regional proxies. The strike comes amid a broader campaign aimed at degrading Iran’s military infrastructure — particularly its drone and missile capabilities, which have been used to threaten Israel, U.S. forces, and Gulf states. In recent years, Iranian-designed drones such as the Shahed series have become a central weapon in Tehran’s strategy across multiple conflicts. If confirmed, this latest strike would mark another significant blow to the regime’s ability to produce and deploy these systems. The battle over Iran’s military infrastructure is clearly intensifying.show more
