🇺🇸🇦🇺 BIG | Boeing and the Royal Australian Air Force have prematurely completed demonstration tests of the MQ-28 Ghost Bat loyal UAV, during which the drone logged about 150 flight hours and underwent more than 20,000 hours of digital testing. Such demonstrations will allow the inclusion of already verified features in serial models of loyal UAVs, such as autonomous behavior, cooperation between multiple UAVs/aircraft simultaneously, and integration with AWACS/command nodes, bringing the MQ-28 closer to initial operational status for deployment. The next phase will be a practical launch of an air-to-air missile, planned for later this year or early 2026, after which it will be possible to assess combat effectiveness in real conditions.

Confirmed Kill vs. Silent Launch: KIZILELMA vs. Ghost Bat On November 29, the Turkish Bayraktar KIZILELMA unmanned fighter jet achieved a fully confirmed BVR GÖKDOĞAN air-to-air missile kill, using its own MURAD AESA radar with clear tracking and impact footage. Ten days later, on December 9, Boeing’s MQ-28 Ghost Bat launched an AIM-120 AMRAAM, but without using an onboard radar, relying instead on external E-7 AWACS targeting, and without releasing any tracking or impact visuals. Although Boeing had claimed Ghost Bat would be first, Baykar had already secured the milestone with KIZILELMA, days earlier and with full proof.

‼️🇺🇲 A U.S. Air Force F-22 Raptor pilot has for the first time directly controlled a General Atomics MQ-20 Avenger unmanned combat drone from the fighter’s cockpit during a live flight, the companies involved said on Monday. The demonstration, conducted over the Nevada Test and Training Range, saw the pilot issue real-time commands to the jet-powered stealth drone via a tablet interface, using open-architecture software and secure datalinks developed by Lockheed Martin and L3Harris. General Atomics described the test as a milestone in “crewed-uncrewed teaming,” a priority for the U.S. Air Force’s Collaborative Combat Aircraft program, which aims to pair fifth-generation fighters with low-cost autonomous wingmen.

🚨Breaking News… history just changed over Tehran in EPIC AIR BATTLE. Today, March 4, 2026, the sky over Iran witnessed something that had never happened before in the history of modern air combat. An Israeli F-35I “Adir” stealth fighter engaged and destroyed an Iranian Air Force Yakovlev Yak-130. The aircraft was completely eliminated in an air-to-air engagement over Tehran. This was not a drone strike. Not a missile launched from the ground. Not a proxy operation. This was a manned stealth fighter eliminating another aircraft in the skies over Iran. And it marks a historic milestone. This engagement is now being reported as the first confirmed air-to-air kill ever achieved by the F-35 platform anywhere in the world. Let that sink in for a moment. The most advanced fighter jet ever deployed in combat… designed with stealth geometry, sensor fusion, and battlefield awareness beyond anything that came before it… has now officially recorded its first aerial victory. The Iranian aircraft destroyed was a Yakovlev Yak-130, a Russian-built advanced trainer and light attack jet used by the Iranian Air Force. This also represents something else historically significant. It is the first Israeli manned air-to-air combat engagement in roughly four decades. Forty years. For decades Israeli pilots have dominated the skies through deterrence, technology, and overwhelming air superiority. But today that dominance translated into direct aerial combat once again. The Israel Defense Forces have officially confirmed the engagement. Multiple defense outlets and international military analysts are already reporting the event. This moment will likely be studied in military academies around the world for years to come. The first air-to-air victory of the American F-35 era. A stealth fighter engaging in real combat… and winning. History just unfolded over Tehran. #SilentMajoritySpeaks #AStoneGroove

🚨BREAKING America’s allies are stepping up. Australia is deploying a Boeing E-7A Wedgetail airborne early-warning aircraft and 85 defense personnel to the UAE to help defend Gulf airspace after Iranian missile and drone attacks. This isn’t just another plane. The Wedgetail is a flying radar command center that can track aircraft, missiles, and drones across hundreds of miles while coordinating air defenses in real time. These aircraft are capable of extremely long missions… some lasting up to 17 hours in the air with refueling. That means constant eyes in the sky over the Gulf. When the radar sees it… fighters and missile defenses can intercept it. This is what alliances look like. America doesn’t stand alone… and when the region gets dangerous, allies like Australia show up. #SilentMajoritySpeaks #AStoneGroove

BREAKING: The IRGC Aerospace Force released footage showing the shootdown of a U.S. Air Force MQ-9A Reaper armed drone which had reportedly been involved in supporting yesterday’s U.S. Navy airstrikes against IRGC Navy targets in the Strait of Hormuz. According to Iranian sources, the drone had been operating from Al Dhafra Air Base in the UAE and was providing ISR and targeting support for U.S. naval operations in the region. The footage appears to show the drone being successfully intercepted and destroyed over or near Qeshm Island. The MQ-9A was most likely brought down by the IRGC’s Majid AD-08 short-range air defense system, an infrared-guided SHORAD platform specifically designed to engage drones, cruise missiles, and other low-flying aerial targets. #OperationEpicFury #OperationLionsRoar

🇺🇸 BREAKING: The U.S. Air Force is testing AI-piloted drones alongside human pilots at Eglin Air Force Base — a “Top Gun AI” program. Fighter pilot Major Trent McMullen flies alongside the XQ-58 drone, controlled by artificial intelligence. AI drones can intercept enemy aircraft, process massive amounts of data, and even engage in limited dogfights. AI-piloted jets could cost ¼ of manned fighters, allowing the Air Force to deploy more at higher risk. Plans include up to 1,000 AI aircraft by the end of the decade. “This could be a revolution in air combat,” says Gen. Adrian Spain. Source: CBS News (AI video for representation purposes)

Reiterating from earlier tweet and what Shekhar ji said in video below, An $8B Rafale deal with France is criticized for “hurting Atmanirbharta” while an $80B Boeing deal with US by Air India and Aksa airlines is celebrated without question same Boeing which manufactures F/A -18, P-8, C-17 Globemaster, MQ-25 & Apache. Problems :- ~ Defense deals are weaponised politically by opposition. ~ Sabotage/propaganda angle by local communist union working in DPSU’s . Suggestions :- ~ Use scale (Military +Domestic) of demand as a negotiating weapon. ~ Scale up production at war scale with private sector involvement. Monopoly is biggest hurdle. ~ Assured order, bank funds R&D . ~ Use civil aviation to build supply chain/global MRO hub. The Rafale deal is an operationally driven, government-to-government purchase made to urgently restore the IAF’s combat capability after prolonged delays in indigenous and MMRCA programs. #rafale

‼️‼️🇺🇦🇷🇺 BIG | Kyiv's air power modernization has crossed a historic threshold, confirming the first-ever direct air-to-air kill by a Ukrainian F-16 against a frontline Russian fighter. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine officially verified that a Ukrainian-piloted F-16 Fighting Falcon shot down a Russian Su-35 Flanker-E in aerial combat. The engagement marks a milestone for Ukraine’s air force, representing the first combat-confirmed air-to-air victory achieved by western-supplied fighters since their deployment to the theatre. This air-to-air kill shatters the operational dominance Russian air assets previously enjoyed over contested frontline airspace. By successfully locking onto and destroying Moscow's premier multirole fighter—a machine long touted for its maneuverability and advanced radar suite—Ukrainian pilots have proven that modern Western tactics, combined with advanced Beyond-Visual-Range (BVR) missile integration, can systematically neutralize Russia's high-end tactical aviation and reshape the battle for air superiority.

The US Air Force first took combat coded F-35A's to Exercise Red Flag in 2017. It was an overwhelming success. Israel then deployed its F-35I Adir in combat operations with success. The IAF has since overwhelmingly dominated the Iranian IADS and C2 capability on the back of its F-35I's and other capabilities. USAF's F-35A's were the first aircraft to enter Iranian Air Space during Ops Midnight Hammer paving the way (SEAD) for the strike package to follow. The JPO and its dismal modernization track record deserve the heat. Yet the F-35’s current capability remains second to none. It is a platform proven in large force exercises, expeditionary deployments, and combat operations, all forged by the most exhaustive flight test program in history. Credit the designers, the operators, and the testers for that. #F35 #5Gen #EpicFury #FlightTest

‼️‼️🇺🇦🇷🇺 BIG | A high-stakes air-to-air confrontation has culminated in the downing of a premier Russian Su-35S multirole fighter jet, triggering intense damage control across prominent Russian military propaganda channels. Prominent Russian military blogger Kirill Fedorov confirmed the destruction of the advanced air-superiority asset, revealing that the Russian aircraft was systematically hunted down in a coordinated engagement. According to Fedorov, the single Su-35S was targeted by a superior formation of three Ukrainian combat aircraft—including Western-supplied F-16 fighters—operating in tight tactical synchronization with a forward-deployed Patriot air defense radar station. While the Russian pilot reportedly managed to eject and survive, Fedorov conceded that the engagement likely marks a major milestone as one of Ukraine's first complex, multi-domain air-to-air victories involving newly integrated Western platforms. In an effort to downplay the tactical humiliation, the propagandist insisted that the loss of a single Su-35S is not structurally critical due to active production lines and low overall airframe attrition. However, he expressed profound alarm over the changing strategic balance in the skies, warning that Moscow's aviation dominance is rapidly eroding. Fedorov highlighted that the impending delivery of additional Western fighters and next-generation air-to-air ordnance—moving beyond standard AIM-120 AMRAAMs to include ultra-long-range European Meteor missiles capable of striking targets at distances exceeding 200 kilometers—poses an existential threat to Russian tactical aviation moving forward.
