🧐🇦🇪🇫🇷 The Most Advanced Mirage Ever Built Wasn't French When people think of the Mirage 2000, they think of France. But the most powerful and sophisticated version of this legendary fighter was built for the United Arab Emirates. Meet the Mirage 2000-9. Far more than a simple upgrade, the Mirage 2000-9 incorporated technologies developed for the Rafale, transforming the iconic fighter into one of the most capable 4th generation combat aircraft ever produced. Powered by the M53-P2 engine and equipped with the advanced RDY-2 multimode radar, the aircraft can simultaneously track multiple targets while conducting air to air and air to ground missions. Its arsenal is formidable: • MICA EM active radar guided air to air missiles • MICA IR infrared guided air to air missiles • Magic II short range air to air missiles • Black Shaheen long range cruise missiles • Laser guided bombs • Precision guided munitions • Conventional bombs • Air to surface missiles • Anti ship weapons • 30mm DEFA cannons The Mirage 2000-9 is also equipped with an advanced electronic warfare and self protection suite, allowing it to detect, jam, and evade enemy threats while operating deep inside contested airspace. With a combat radius stretching hundreds of kilometers and the ability to strike targets with precision, the aircraft became one of the most capable fighters in the Middle East. For years, it quietly stood as one of the region's most powerful air combat platforms, proof that even a design born in the 1970s could evolve into a world-class fighter. The Mirage 2000-9 wasn't just the final Mirage. It was the ultimate Mirage.

‼️ This is very important. Friends, please repost and tag those who can make it happen, not just in the US but in all NATO countries that have pilots trained to fly the F-16s. As you probably know, there are currently not enough F-16 pilots to fly the aircraft provided to Ukraine by our Allies. Training of pilots and crew takes a long time. During their visit to Kyiv this week, US Senators Richard Blumenthal and Lindsey Graham shared that Ukraine is looking for retired NATO F-16 pilots: "Additionally, President Zelensky told us both that he would be looking to supplement his Air Force by establishing a program to enlist retired NATO F-16 fighter pilots. We support this effort. Ukraine is already fielding units of freedom fighters on the ground, and this volunteer force should be replicated in the air," Senator Blumenthal posted on his website. "My message is this: we need to be fully engaged," Senator Graham added. "Here’s what I want to see in 2024: I’m going to bring this up. I’m asking [U.S.] President [Joe] Biden, before you leave office, to make sure this offer is extended," he said. F-16 pilots, including Dan Hampton, have said previously they would be willing to do that. This would significantly increase Ukrainian capabilities and enhance our air defense potential.

🇺🇸🇯🇴🇮🇷 The conflict has entered another dangerous phase as U.S. forces appear to be pulling back from key positions in Jordan following Iranian strikes. According to multiple reports, King Faisal Air Base has been evacuated after Iranian attacks, with aircraft and helicopters seen departing the facility following reported damage to an F-15 hangar. Reports also indicate that Muwaffaq Salti Air Base has been largely rendered inoperable, prompting the relocation of personnel and military assets. While Iranian officials have claimed extensive damage, not all battlefield claims have been independently verified by the United States. If confirmed, the evacuation would mark one of the most significant disruptions to U.S. military operations in Jordan during the current conflict. The loss or temporary degradation of these forward air bases could complicate American air operations, forcing assets to be redistributed across the region while highlighting Iran's ability to threaten key U.S. military infrastructure beyond its own borders.

🇷🇺 “The attack on Cheboksary with a ‘Flamingo’-type missile showed that there are huge holes in Russia’s air defense system.” 🔻 “A simple Ukrainian cruise missile, which does not have the ability to fly along the terrain and is launched directly from Ukrainian territory, spent almost an hour and a half in the air and could not be detected, intercepted by fighter jets, or shot down by anti-aircraft missile systems. That is, without radars, the air defense of the Russian Federation is ineffective.” 🔻 “In the event of an attack by NATO or the United States, they can use hundreds and thousands of Tomahawk, Storm Shadow, and JASSM cruise missiles against us. In such a case, we will not be able to repel such an attack and will suffer enormous damage. As already happened in Iraq, Yugoslavia, and Iran.” — writes Russian imperialist journalist Maxim Kalashnikov. This is another highly critical and realistic assessment from a prominent Russian Z-imperialist voice. Kalashnikov openly acknowledges serious gaps in Russia’s air defense, especially against relatively simple but long-range Ukrainian strikes. His warning about vulnerability to large-scale Western cruise missile attacks highlights the broader strategic risks Russia faces the longer the war continues. Video is generated by grok AI

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.

Indian Army Strengthens Close Air Support with Prachand Sortie, Apache Firing The Indian Army has reinforced its focus on strengthening close air support for ground operations, a critical element in modern warfare. Chief of the Army Staff General Upendra Dwivedi flew a sortie on the indigenous Light Combat Helicopter Prachand at HAL, Bengaluru yesterday. This was followed by a key operational demonstration today at Pokhran Field Firing Ranges in Rajasthan, where the AH-64 Apache attack helicopter carried out its first field firing, successfully engaging targets with Hellfire missiles and other onboard weapons. The activities showcased how attack helicopters can operate in close coordination with ground troops, even in high-threat environments involving small arms fire, shoulder-fired missiles and drones. These platforms demonstrated rapid target acquisition and precision strike capability, directly supporting manoeuvre on the battlefield. Advanced sensors, fire control systems and real-time data links enabled faster decision-making and immediate action, ensuring that battlefield intelligence was quickly converted into effective strikes. The Apache highlighted its role as a force multiplier by enhancing the reach, lethality and responsiveness of ground forces, while Prachand reflected India’s growing indigenous strength in combat aviation. The demonstrations underline Indian Army’s focus on integrating air and land capabilities to enhance battlefield effectiveness and maintain operational momentum.

NASA's 'quiet' supersonic jet completes first flight in potential breakthrough for commercial air travel | Morgan Phillips, Fox News X-59 aircraft designed to reduce sonic boom to a 'thump' could revolutionize commercial aviation A new "quiet" supersonic X-59 jet designed to revolutionize air travel successfully completed its first test flight, Lockheed Martin announced this week. The sleek, needle-point aircraft built for NASA is designed to break the sound barrier while reducing the sonic boom to a "thump," according to the aerospace contractor. The aircraft aims to overcome one of the major hurdles to supersonic travel, which is noise restrictions over land. The plane took off from Palmdale, Calif., at Skunk Works' facility at U.S. Air Force Plant 42, accompanied by a NASA chase plane. It landed safely about an hour later at NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center. The plane’s unique shape is designed to greatly lower the volume of the sonic boom typically produced when a plane breaks the sound barrier. The long, pointed nose prevents adequate forward-facing visibility, so the pilot flies relying on a monitor in the cockpit. NASA has paid Lockheed over $500 million since 2018 to develop the plane. The plane, which measures just under 100 feet nose to tail, flew at subsonic speeds on its first flight, around 230 mph and reached 12,000 feet. The plane is built to eventually reach a cruising speed of 925 mph, or Mach 1.4, and fly at an altitude of 55,000 feet. "This aircraft is a testament to the innovation and expertise of our joint team, and we are proud to be at the forefront of quiet supersonic technology development," OJ Sanchez, vice president and general manager of Lockheed Martin Skunk Works, said in a statement. "X-59 is a symbol of American ingenuity. The American spirit knows no bounds. It's part of our DNA – the desire to go farther, faster, and even quieter than anyone has ever gone before. This work sustains America's place as the leader in aviation and has the potential to change the way the public flies," said Sean Duffy, acting NASA administrator. The supersonic Concorde aircraft, developed by France and the U.K., began transatlantic flights in 1976, reached max speeds of over 1,300 mph and flew passengers from New York to London in just 3.5 hours. But high operating costs meant ticket costs were about four times higher than a standard first-class ticket, and the supersonic boom meant the plane could only fly at such high speeds over water. A crash in 2000 deeply affected public confidence in the plane, and it was retired in 2003. NASA plans to fly the X-59 over several U.S. cities in the coming years, gathering public feedback that could help regulators update decades-old bans on supersonic flight over land. If successful, the data could open the door for a new generation of commercial jets capable of cutting cross-country flight times in half — bringing back supersonic travel for the first time in more than two decades, but this time with far less noise.

The War was cold, but accidents happened... May 25 1968: a Soviet Air Force Tu-16 "Badger" [Reg. Unknown] crashes 150 mi West of Norway, all 6 aboard die. Jet made a low pass near US Navy aircraft carrier USS Essex (CV-9), flying just 50 ft above the sea, when the wingtip hit a wave that sent the bomber into a cartwheel. The accident was captured in camera by a US film crew that was aboard the ship. More info below ⬇️ 🧵 ‘I was there and watched the entire thing while working on the flight deck. I was a helicopter mechanic in HS-9 at the time. When it overflew the flight deck you could feel the heat and smell at jet exhaust. After the flight deck overfly (starboard to port) he continued to fly away from the ship at low level. He gained a little altitude and started to make a left turn, leveled back out, lost altitude and just when it looked like he was going to make a controlled ditching his left wing dipped and hit the water and then he cartwheeled in a ball of flame.. Our helicopters were in the air already and made a beeline for the crash, hovered in the smoke but no one survived.’ Extra info with statements by an eyewitness are from an article from "The Aviation Geek Club" (will add link to their full article later

And it’s not even the heaviest Air craft ever built, however, the difference in weight between it and the heaviest aircraft once existed is 8,000 kg. Humans have indeed accomplished some of the craziest things in life. Antonov An-225 Mriya used to be the world's largest and heaviest aircraft before it was destroyed by Russian forces in Ukrainian airport in February 2022, during this ongoing Russo-Ukrainian war. Happened that when an invasion warning came, the Mriya could not fly. It was undergoing scheduled maintenance at Hostomel Airport (Kyiv) with one of its six engines dismantled. Other Ukrainian planes evacuated but Mriya was trapped on the ground, a sitting duck. It was housed in a massive hangar that was shelled by Russian artillery. A fire broke out, destroying the cockpit, nose, and avionics, effectively beheading the aircraft. Only one single Antonov An-225 Mriya was ever completed and flown. Here are Videos of Antonov An-225 Mriya while in service and after destruction.

Dear DGCA NIA India Air India Wanted to draw your attention to a very serious matter. I was on AI 2469 Pune to Delhi. At three different times, when the flight was close to Delhi, three successive high power green colored lasers were beamed at the flight. I was able to capture only one. The flight path and log will be able to give you exact locations of the one I wasn’t able to capture. 1. Around 2120 - by the time I could get my phone and camera out, the plane had moved on and the beam stopped. Area unknown to me. 2. Around 2124 - I was able to record. The area was Churu- Tatanagar as informed by photo location feature. Recording attached. 3. Around 2128 - again, it flashed only for few seconds and by the time I started recording, it stopped. Area was Noida - Chapraula. I’ve highlighted the general area in the image attached. Threes successive beams, at regular intervals - you might want to check. There was a recent case in US just couple of weeks back where this laser pointing was taken very seriously by the agencies. And one odd guy fooling around is one thing. But same green colored laser, on path of a flight, beamed successively, requires an investigation for sure. First - Around

🚨 Drones + Helicopters = Dangerous and Illegal 🚨 Yesterday around 3:40 p.m., a drone was filmed flying directly above a LifeFlight helicopter as it landed at Primary Children’s Hospital to transport a critically ill child. Because the drone was spotted, all air operations had to stop until the area was cleared — causing a completely preventable delay in life-saving care. Flying a drone near emergency helicopters is extremely dangerous and illegal. A collision could be catastrophic, damaging rotor blades and putting patients, flight crews, and people on the ground at risk. Those responsible will be prosecuted and could face stiff fines or jail time. ⚠️ What you need to know: 🚁 Drones near hospitals, helipads, wildfires, or emergency scenes force helicopters to ground, stopping critical missions 💥 Drone–helicopter collisions have happened and can be deadly ⚖️ Flying a drone near aircraft is a federal offense, not just a citation 📏 Drones should not be flown within ¾ mile (1.4 km) of a helipad without FAA approval ⛔ If you see or hear a helicopter, land your drone immediately and move away

Earlier today, an elderly passenger whose seat selection happened to be by the exit door was asked by cabin crew to have their seat reassigned. The passenger vehemently declined despite being made to understand the reasons why the switch had to be made. He threatened twice to slap the hostess. As a result, the pilot called in airport security, including the Air Force, to remove the passenger. He (passenger) insisted on speaking with the NCAA Consumer Protection Officers on duty, and they were brought in to deescalate the situation. The passenger was advised per the threats made and why he had to be deplaned. The pilot insisted on not flying the passenger for safety reasons. Airport security and NCAA officials have led him back to the terminal. He has understood the ramifications of his actions and has calmed down. He will be allowed to board the evening flight later today. May I reiterate that the responsibility of deescalating potential altercation rests with both cabin crew and passenger, and it is not ideal to threaten or actually hit people aboard an aircraft. If you are not satisfied with the quality of service you have received, kindly report to the NCAA Consumer Protection Department via and a resolution will be reached. Threats of violence against cabin crew are not acceptable. Let us all ensure to keep our skies safe and allow other passengers to enjoy their flying experience.

#PLA #China #Japan #Korea #Guam #India #Hypersonic The Chinese 6th generation fighter is a high-quality reverse engineering of the American 6th generation fighter project from Lockheed Martin as part of the NGAD (Next-Generation Air Dominance) program. The Chinese Air Force has begun flight tests of a 6th-generation stealth fighter designed using a "flying wing"/"tailless" configuration without the usual vertical and horizontal all-moving tail fins typical of 4th and 5th generation aircraft. The machine is stabilized in flight thanks to an advanced computerized fly-by-wire control system with multiple backup systems, which controls the wing mechanization on the trailing edge. The design has a huge resemblance to that of the Lockheed project under the NGAD program. It is worth noting that the visible length of the glider can vary from 22.5 to 25 - 27 m, while the wingspan reaches an incredible 18 - 19 m. Obviously, the normal takeoff weight of such a machine can reach 33 - 37 tons, the maximum - 43 - 47 tons. The payload in the internal weapons compartments is up to 10 - 12 tons. The estimated volume of the fuel system can reach 17-18 tons, and the combat radius of action up to 2500-2700 km. The effective reflective surface of this machine can vary from 0.05 to 0.15 sq. m The configuration of the onboard radar of the Chinese 5th generation fighter is almost identical to that of the Russian Su-57. On the side forming the nose of the fuselage, one can pay attention to 2 X-band side-looking AESA modules, similar to the N036B-1-01L and N036B-1-01B modules of the Belka onboard radar system. These canvases provide radar reconnaissance in SAR mode at distances of up to 150-200 km, as well as the ability to detect air targets in the lateral and rear hemisphere Evgeniy Damantsev

⚡️BREAKING: Additional footage of the house that was hit by a rocket in Al-Tira in central occupied Palestine near "Tel Aviv", wounding 11 Palestinians. Officially, the damage was caused after an IOF interceptor missile hit a rocket from Lebanon, knocking it off of its course. All of the injuries are minor or moderate despite the significant damage to the home. It should be noted that Palestinians in the interior are not afforded nearly the same protection as zionist Jews. They have no air defenses or shelters, and the IOF places sensitive military sites near occupied Palestinian villages to use them as human shields. The resistance will never intentionally target Palestinians, but casualties may arise as their strikes increase, such as the two Palestinian martyrs east of Akka last week.

SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL POTENTIAL FRIDAY NIGHT ******1ST CALL MAP****** 🎄 Merry Christmas to YOU!!! A pretty sizable snowstorm is expected across the region Friday night, with snow developing as early as Friday evening. I am very confident in a widespread 6–10" snowfall for a large portion of the Tri-State area, with lower confidence closer to NYC, Long Island, and the Jersey Shore where mixing remains a concern. At this time, I am keeping some mixing in play in central NJ/Long Island, but I’m not totally sold on how aggressive it becomes. While 4–6" looks like a very solid floor, several areas could easily boom to 6"+ if colder air locks in faster and holds longer than currently modeled. ZONE 1 – 6–10" OF SNOW This is the zone where cold air damming will be most prevalent, allowing snow to remain all snow for the duration of the event. Expect higher snow ratios, which could allow many areas to push toward double-digit totals, especially under any persistent banding. I could easily pull this zone into NYC and Nassau County as we see more model data. ZONE 2 – 4–6" OF SNOW This zone will likely start with heavy, wet snow, before transitioning to a lighter, fluffier snowfall as colder air works in. Some compaction is expected with lower snow ratios, but additional snow and mesoscale banding could still drive totals toward or above 6" in spots. ZONE 3 – 2–4" WITH MIXING This zone remains VERY uncertain. I could make a strong argument that cold air advection dominates, keeping this mostly snow and allowing totals to reach 4–6". However, low-level warm air transport on an easterly wind may introduce sleet, especially along the Jersey Shore (east of GSP) and into Suffolk County, which would eat into accumulations. I’ll be watching trends closely as this is shaping up to be a sharp cutoff storm where small shifts could have big impacts. 📺 On TV now with the latest on PIX11 News

‼️🇺🇲🇷🇺🇵🇱 BIG | Russia is preparing for a large-scale military provocation, which could take place against Poland or one of the Baltic states. The US has warned Poland that the Russian Federation is preparing an armed provocation in the coming months, The Telegraph and the Polish publication Onet report, citing intelligence services. Russia's target could be Poland's critical infrastructure via missiles and drones, or Russian soldiers might cross the border into NATO territory. Washington has already sent several warnings to Warsaw about this plot, sources close to Polish President Karol Nawrocki told the Polish news outlet Onet, which, along with The Telegraph, is owned by Axel Springer and is part of its Global Reporters Network. The purpose of the Russian provocation would be to escalate tensions and force Western allies to halt aid to Ukraine. This could begin in a few months. Polish security service sources also do not rule out a more conventional attack, such as a small-scale ground incursion by Russian soldiers onto NATO's eastern flank. According to Onet's security service sources, provocation scenarios could include drone attacks on critical infrastructure like power plants, or simulated airstrikes, forcing Poland to activate its air defense systems. A Polish intelligence source stated that in the most extreme scenario, a "hybrid attack in the border region" could occur. According to the same source, an armed incursion involving Russian or Belarusian soldiers is possible. This could be presented by Russia as an accidental crossing into Polish territory due to a GPS malfunction, or as a suspicious rescue mission to retrieve a damaged helicopter. Polish sources told Onet that Russia hopes that in such a situation, instead of opening fire on Russian or Belarusian soldiers, the US would pressure Poland to negotiate with Russia or Belarus rather than respond with force. A scenario in which the Russians leave Poland as a result of these negotiations, rather than through military coercion, would be seen as a victory from Moscow's perspective. During such negotiations, in exchange for withdrawing troops from Poland, Russia's main demand could even be the termination of Western support for Ukraine. "The US systematically provides information to Poland about new Russian plans for a conventional attack on NATO's eastern flank, from which Poland is by no means excluded," said a source close to the Polish President. A second source, an ambassador of one of Poland's NATO allies, also confirmed that a provocation in the Baltic states and Poland is a serious risk. This information was confirmed by a third source within the Polish Ministry of Defense. A fourth security source from the Baltic states confirmed to The Telegraph that such plans are indeed being discussed in Moscow. Following this, Russia might attempt to claim that the provocation was carried out by Ukraine. Any ground attack by Russia could be launched either from Kaliningrad—Russia's exclave north of Poland where nuclear weapons are stationed—or from the east, via Belarusian territory. Such methods are Russia's only realistic way to stage a provocation. Because its forces are bogged down in Ukraine, it lacks the resources to wage a full-scale war against NATO allies. Although Poland remains a committed security ally of Ukraine, relations have become strained in recent months due to differing views on World War II-era history and the competitive agricultural industries of the two countries. There are fears that Moscow will attempt to widen this rift even further. In the worst-case scenario for NATO, Russia's goal would be to undermine Polish sovereignty, portray NATO as a "paper tiger" (demonstrate its helplessness), and force the cessation of Western support for Ukraine—all without triggering a conventional war with the alliance.

‼️‼️🇷🇺⚔️🇪🇪 An expert report by European Council on Foreign Relations outlines two possible scenarios for a Russian attack on Estonia. 1. Direct invasion — a rapid seizure of Narva and a potential advance toward Tallinn, aimed at shocking NATO and forcing negotiations over a so-called “pause.” • Around 40,000 Russian ground forces are deployed near the borders of the Baltic states, while Estonia’s armed forces number approximately 43,000 personnel in total. Experts assess that Russia would be unable to employ its full force, giving Estonia a numerical advantage. • Within two days, reinforced forces from neighboring NATO countries would arrive in Estonia. Within hours, allied air power—supported by air defense—would secure air superiority. • As a result, such an invasion would amount to a strategic catastrophe for Moscow. 🔴 Within days, Russia would face a choice: withdraw, face destruction, or escalate into a full-scale war with NATO, the report states. 2. Hybrid attack (annexation) — assessed by experts as the most likely scenario. This would be preceded by an information campaign and claims of discrimination against Russian-speaking populations, cyberattacks, and unrest in Narva. Subsequently, small special forces units or airborne troops could appear in the city. See the latest updates with us: NSTRIKE
