Yesterday, the Government of Jamaica welcomed the arrival of relief supplies from the United Kingdom. We extend our sincere gratitude to the Government and people of the UK for their timely and support during this challenging period. Relief operations are fully underway. Supplies are being sorted, mobilized, and distributed across the island to assist families and communities affected by Hurricane Melissa. Many areas have already begun receiving critical aid, including food, water, medical items, and temporary shelter materials. We are aware that several communities remain isolated or are difficult to access due to damaged infrastructure. I want to reassure the Jamaican people that every effort is being made to reach them. Through coordinated efforts by the JDF, JCF, ODPEM, and local authorities, we are deploying relief by land and air. We are ensuring that every Jamaican receives the help they need. No one will be left behind.

🚨🇪🇸 The crisis has jumped to Melilla, with crowds scaling the fence tonight and some breaking through. -Large groups are climbing the border fence at Melilla, Spain's other North African enclave, trying to force their way into Spanish territory -Spanish security forces fired tear gas to push them back, and some people made it across -It follows the surge at Ceuta, where roughly 50,000 to 60,000 crossed by land and sea into a city of just 83,000, with 57 dead and around 48,000 already returned to Morocco -Cars were burned near the Melilla frontier earlier, and clashes broke out between Moroccan police and crowds still pressing toward the border -Madrid has called the mass crossing an attack on its sovereignty, while Italy restored some border controls and France ordered extra checks on its Spanish frontier Source: Tabz / Writer: Daniel

Millions of Fish. One Insane Moment. I think most people are familiar with the great Wildebeest migration in Africa but very few people know of the great fish migration that happens each year along the east coast of Florida. It’s simply called, “The Fall Mullet Run,” but there is nothing simple about it. Millions of fish make their way down the coastline and everything, I mean everything wants to eat them. They get attacked by large predatory game fish from below and when they try to escape by hurling themselves into the air, large winged beasts from the sky are waiting to gobble them up in droves! It’s a rare convergence of multiple biomes colliding in a feeding frenzy of explosive, cinematic chaos. The fish in this clip explode like fireworks into the air. Something massive is hunting beneath the surface and as soon as this young brown pelican decides it has found the motherlode, a snook blasts out of the water, forcing the pelican to hit the brakes mid-air and reroute fast. Talk about being in the right place at the right time. I still remember watching it unfold through the tiny viewfinder of my Sony, and not believing my eyes. It’s one of my favorite times of the year, and it’s coming soon!

This video was posted by Russian propagandists today. A Russian drone is adjusting a fire with four guided thermobaric bombs on the position of one of our brigades near the village of Lyptsi, a key village on the approaches to Kharkiv. The small landing is literally demolished by powerful explosions, and the hits are very accurate. After this strike, with the help of a drone adjustment, a Russian assault group went to assault the landing site. They were supported from above by a drone that dropped grenades. And even in such difficult conditions and after such strikes, a group of Ukrainian soldiers survived. And they, all shell-shocked, did not run away or surrender. A few Ukrainians dug themselves out of the trenches completely covered with earth, got up, and suddenly met the Russian assault group with aimed fire. Ukrainian heroes withstand a high density of enemy strikes, they fight to the death for every meter of land near Kharkiv and do everything possible and impossible. They know that they will not be covered from the air, they know they will have to equip their positions on the front line themselves with shovels, they know that the enemy has a lot of force. But they are Ukrainians, and behind them is Kharkiv, and next to them are their brothers-in-arms, who are fighting and also repelling all Russian attacks. We need to destroy Russian aircraft on Russian territory. We need to save our Warrior Heroes.

🙏🙏 He did not hesitate. Not even for a second. In front of his wife and children, Chase Childers saw a family of five being dragged into a rip current at Pawleys Island, South Carolina. The ocean was pulling them farther away with every second. People on the shore watched. Some shouted. Most froze. Chase moved. A 38 year old husband, father of three, former Cobb County police officer, and former professional baseball player, he had spent his life stepping toward danger when others stepped back. He entered the water and swam straight into the current. Rip currents are invisible k!LLers, powerful enough to drag even strong swimmers under. But Chase focused on the people in front of him. One by one, he reached them. One by one, he helped them get back toward safety. Five lives pulled out of the water. Five people who would make it home. Then the ocean took him. The same current he fought against dragged him under. His wife and children watched as the man who had always protected them disappeared beneath the waves. He did not come back. Chase Childers d*ed the way he lived, putting others before himself. He had already been honored during his life for saving people as a police officer. But his final act said everything about who he was. A man who saw strangers in danger and chose to give everything so they could live. Five people survived that day. Because one man didn't walk away. 🙏🙏 Story based on reported information

🚨 SCIENTISTS JUST REPLACED EXPENSIVE PLATINUM CATALYSTS IN ZINC-AIR BATTERIES WITH CHEAP IRON AND IT WORKS BETTER. Zinc-air batteries are one of the most promising low-cost, high-energy-density alternatives to lithium-ion, but they’ve been held back by a slow and inefficient oxygen reduction reaction that usually requires precious metal catalysts. Researchers at Tohoku University engineered a simple iron oxide/samarium oxide interface that dramatically speeds up this reaction. The heterointerface changes how electrons behave at the surface, weakens excessive bonding with reaction intermediates, and delivers faster kinetics plus excellent durability all without any noble metals. The new catalyst performed strongly in both liquid and flexible solid-state zinc-air batteries, successfully powering LEDs and even charging a smartphone. Why this matters: • Zinc-air batteries use oxygen from the air, abundant zinc, and are much cheaper and safer than lithium-ion • Removing the need for platinum or other precious metals makes them far more scalable and affordable • The iron-based interface approach is simple, stable in alkaline conditions, and improves both performance and longevity • It was demonstrated in practical devices, not just lab tests The deeper implication: We’re getting closer to energy storage that doesn’t rely on scarce, expensive materials. Zinc-air technology has long been held back by catalyst limitations, but this work shows that clever interface engineering with cheap, abundant elements can unlock the performance needed for real-world applications from portable electronics to large-scale grid storage. It’s another step toward clean energy systems that are not only sustainable in operation, but also in the materials they use. The future of batteries may not depend on mining more rare metals… but on smarter chemistry with what we already have in abundance. How close do you think we are to zinc-air batteries becoming a mainstream alternative to lithium-ion? Follow for more frontier battery materials and clean energy storage research.

🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸 Bruce Crandall kept turning his helicopter back toward the gunfire. It was November 14, 1965, in the la Drang Valley, Vietnam. American soldiers were surrounded and outnumbered. Enemy fire was so intense that medical evacuation helicopters refused to land. Wounded men were bleeding out on the battlefield. Crandall did not accept that. Born on February 17, 1933, in Olympia, Washington, he was a 32 year old Army major commanding an air cavalry unit. When he learned that injured soldiers were trapped without ammunition or medical support, he made a decision that could cost him everything. He flew into the landing zone. Not once. 22 times. Each time, bullets ripped through the air. His helicopter was hit repeatedly. The landing zone was barely secure. Soldiers dove for cover as he touched down. He delivered ammunition. He loaded the wounded. He lifted off again into enemy fire. Other pilots refused to fly. Crandall kept going. By the end of the day, dozens of soldiers were evacuated because he refused to leave them behind. Many later said they would have died without those flights. For his actions, he was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross. It was later upgraded to the Medal of Honor in 2007, 42 years after the battle. He had already retired as a colonel. For decades, few outside military circles knew his name. He once flew straight into overwhelming fire 22 times so others could live. Recognition came nearly half a century later.

Japan’s leap into the deep blue has birthed a technological titan: the world’s first megawatt-scale underwater turbine designed to anchor within the relentless Kuroshio Current. Unlike solar or wind energy, which are beholden to the whims of the weather, this subaquatic marvel taps into ocean streams that flow with permanent, unshakable consistency. Because water is roughly 800 times denser than air, even a slow-moving current carries a kinetic punch far more powerful than a howling gale, allowing these massive "sea-planes" to generate a steady, "always-on" stream of green electricity that could theoretically power the nation 24/7. The sheer scale of this ambition is staggering, as researchers estimate that the energy pulsing through Japan’s coastal waters could reach a capacity of 205 gigawatts—nearly enough to match the country’s entire current power generation. These turbines operate like inverted satellites, hovering in the water column and using sophisticated sensors to maintain stability against the crushing pressure of the depths. By transforming the silent, eternal movement of the Pacific into a high-tech power plant, Japan isn't just building a gadget; it is effectively turning the ocean into the planet’s largest, most reliable natural battery.

Kling 2.6 prompt Inside a colossal Japanese-inspired fortress suspended in darkness, endless wooden halls with shoji screens, torii-like beams, tatami floors, and layered staircases stack vertically in impossible symmetry. The Hyperspeed FPV camera drops instantly into a vertical free fall, accelerating brutally through the core of the structure. Lantern-lit corridors slide past sideways, staircases invert, and entire rooms rotate as the camera descends. A fast but controlled spin blends into the fall, twisting red paper lanterns, carved wooden pillars, and sliding doors into precise cinematic spirals while preserving spatial clarity. The environment feels heavy and real—aged wood textures, rice paper walls flexing in the wind, massive support beams rushing inches from the lens. Motion blur remains intense yet readable, anchored by warm lantern light and deep shadows. Audio is grounded and immersive: roaring wind, creaking timber, sharp air-cutting whooshes synced to acceleration, and a dark cinematic score with Japanese-inspired percussion driving relentless momentum. Realistic lighting, dramatic contrast, epic scale, one-shot cinematic realism

The moisture question always comes up when I post pics of my indoor pools on my new builds. Step by step below on how I control it. We create a room where moisture can’t escape into other areas of the home while also having a mechanical system in place to pull the moisture out of the air so mildew/mold don’t ever develop in the pool room itself. In the STR space, investors are trying to stand out. Pools rent. Indoor pools rent even better. You can swim in the winter or summer. 1) Pool is always built on lowest floor inside (generally basement structure) 2) Concrete block wall for basement with very little wood frame 3) Densglass (kind of like a moisture resistant drywall) attached to concrete block 4) Special stucco just like you see on exterior of homes sprayed onto Densglass. The stucco is dyed to color of my choice. 5) Industrial grade dehumidifier (I use Santa Fe or Watchdog Brand). The humidity pulled from air is pumped back into the pool system near the mechanical room or outside. 6) Mini split for the pool room. Main floor HVAC covers the sleeping rooms, bathroom of basement and is always separated from pool room. You don’t want chlorinated air running through a main HVAC system. I look at having to replace the minisplit & dehumidifier about every 4 to 5 yrs because of the chlorinated air that goes through them. 7) Exhaust Fan leading to exterior which also pulls humid air out of the room as a supplemental support for the dehumidifier. When overhead lights are turned on, we have it so the exhaust fan kicks on as well. That’s it. We create a “bubble”, where no moisture gets into the other areas of home and the humid air gets pulled from the pool room.

SUNDAY SNOWFALL — 2ND CALL ❄️ This setup shares similarities with today’s event, where lift and timing matter more than storm track of the coastal. While the primary coastal low stays offshore, a secondary zone of strong dynamics along the leading edge of arctic air will be the driver for snowfall Sunday. That zone favors Long Island and central NJ Sunday afternoon into the evening, supporting a widespread 2–4” snowfall. The BOOM potential remains over LI if the trough axis can swing from neutral toward slightly negative tilt — a signal consistently shown by the AI guidance, which has been notably steady with this idea. In this scenario your moisture transport off the Atlantic Ocean can be enhanced causing more surprises. I am being cautious on that. ❄️ZONE 1 | NW NJ / Hudson Valley Snow arrives earlier here with colder air already in place. Snow ratios will be higher, allowing coating–2” in most spots. With the front nearby at onset, isolated 3” totals can’t be ruled out, especially near I-87 and areas just east. ❄️ZONE 2 | Interior NJ, NYC, SE NY, CT (away from the immediate coast) This is the core 2–4” zone. While that sounds modest, this is a dynamic-driven snow, meaning totals could fluctuate sharply over short distances. I believe most of NE NJ, NYC, SE NY, and much of CT reach at least 2”, with localized overachievers possible. ❄️ZONE 3 | Coastal NJ & Southern Long Island Mixing remains the wildcard here. Small temperature and wind shifts will have an outsized impact, making this zone highly volatile and lower confidence overall. ⚠️ BOOM POTENTIAL: ALL OF LONG ISLAND & SE CT If snow banding locks in Sunday evening, this area could see an extended period of steady snow. In a perfect scenario, 4–6” is achievable, but confidence in that outcome is still low. More on the PIX11 News at 10pm

#TheInvisibleDragon #เคียงมังกร #FirstKhaotung #เฟิร์สข้าวตัง Today’s training vs. Traditional Lion Dance 🦁🐲 Today’s intense Aerial Rope conditioning, deep flexibility work, and partner acrobalance training perfectly align with the physical and technical demands of traditional and high-pole lion dance in several key aspects: 1️⃣ Simulating "Pole Climbing" & "Mid-air Leaps" High-pole Jumps: Modern high-pole lion dance involves stakes ranging from 1.2 to 3 meters high. Performers must execute long-distance leaps across these dense poles. Aerial Suspension: In traditional "Cai Qing" (plucking the greens), performers often dangle from high structures using one hand or feet. The gripping and balancing techniques are identical to what they are practicing. 2️⃣ Extreme Upper-body & Core Explosive Strength Lion Head Control: The front performer requires tremendous grip and core stability to lift and manipulate the heavy lion head while suspended mid-air. Partner Stunts: Moving from a one-handed side extension balance to a standard high-pole double-lifting pose requires absolute elite-level acrobatic core control and strength from both partners! 3️⃣ Aerial Awareness & Coordination Lion dance requires a true unity to express emotions mid-air. Suspension and balance training help actors adapt to the sensation of losing ground support, allowing precise body control. 4️⃣ Extreme Flexibility & Injury Prevention To perform lifelike lion movements — such as deep crouches on top of high poles or extreme high-kicks — performers must have maximum flexibility. Executing a standard high-pole dual-lift strike while holding a high single-leg lift with arms spread wide perfectly demonstrates how intensive stretching expands their range of motion and protects their joints from high-impact landings. 💡 In modern theatrical productions, lion dance heavily merges with contemporary acrobatic arts. Therefore, integrating "Lion Dance + Aerial Stunts + Core Balance" is an incredibly smart, highly professional choice by the production team. These training sessions require overcoming pain, fatigue, sweat, and even minor injuries. I admire every effort you've made! I'm incredibly proud of you 🥹👍 Looking forward to The Invisible Dragon 🐉🔥 A tribute to the team 🙏 Thank you P'Ja Yossie for everything 🙏 Included below is a video of traditional lion dance training, showing how to jump from the ground to the plum blossom poles for a performance and then back to the ground ⬇️

‼️This is hysterical!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Popular Russian Z-blogger Zergulio responded to Kirill Dmitriev’s announcement that Russia and the US are moving ahead with plans to build a tunnel between the two countries: “I asked “Alexa” how to get to Chukotka: ‘You can only reach Chukotka by air — there are no railways in the region, and sea routes are difficult and only available during certain periods. The main option is a flight to Ugolny Airport, located in the settlement of Ugolnye Kopi near Anadyr. The only direct flights to Chukotka are operated by the airline “Rossiya”. A flight from Moscow to Ugolny Airport takes about 9 hours. In summer, flights operate 2–3 times a week; in winter, their frequency decreases. Ugolny Airport is located on one side of the Anadyr Estuary, while Anadyr is on the other. The water distance is about 7–10 km.

‼️This is hysterical!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Popular Russian Z-blogger Zergulio responded to Kirill Dmitriev’s announcement that Russia and the US are moving ahead with plans to build a tunnel between the two countries: “I asked “Alexa” how to get to Chukotka: ‘You can only reach Chukotka by air — there are no railways in the region, and sea routes are difficult and only available during certain periods. The main option is a flight to Ugolny Airport, located in the settlement of Ugolnye Kopi near Anadyr. The only direct flights to Chukotka are operated by the airline “Rossiya”. A flight from Moscow to Ugolny Airport takes about 9 hours. In summer, flights operate 2–3 times a week; in winter, their frequency decreases. Ugolny Airport is located on one side of the Anadyr Estuary, while Anadyr is on the other. The water distance is about 7–10 km. The method of crossing depends on the season: • In summer, the passenger ship “Kamchatka” operates; private boats or barges can also be used. • In winter, when the estuary freezes, an ice road is used. • In the transitional seasons, hovercraft or helicopters may be used.’ And then, apparently, you just walk into the tunnel.

🏝️ Bali's trash burning problem has just reached new toxic heights This week, Bali's biggest landfill has been ordered to close. The landfill is a more than 35 meter high mountain of decaying trash covering 32 hectares. It's closed because the gases emanated from it are toxic and ground water is being contaminated This means there's no other landfill of this size near to accept Bali's current trash. So the government has instructed people that "household waste should be disposed of at home" which in Bali means burning it! Trash burning has been a tradition for centuries in Bali (and Indonesia), but it used be mostly organic matter that was being burned Once plastic arrived the tradition didn't change though and locals started burning plastic too, pumping toxic gases into the air causing massive spikes of lung cancer and other respiratory diseases The tradition means on a daily basis around 7 in the morning and 6 in the evening, your neighbours will be burning their trash, and if you're not lucky there's a construction site near which will burn even more but all day! Burning plastic means you emit dioxins and furans, some of the most potent human carcinogens that exist I have friends in Indonesia with family with lung cancer cases, it's a real thing. My fear with Bali has always been that the digital nomads there might not realize the slow danger creeping up on them. You get used to the trash burning and polluted air very quickly in Bali and it probably doesn't affect you over a year or so But if you're there for many years, it will in some way or the other! For a community that's so about fitness and health, air quality is weirdly a consideration mostly overlooked in Bali

This is real gun camera footage from a P-51 Mustang, chasing a German Bf 109 down to the treetops until it goes down in flames. The American pilot flying it, Lt John Kirla, shot down five enemy planes in a single day, becoming an ace in one mission. This footage captures one of his victories over a Bf 109. This is his story.. From Trainee to the Yoxford Boys John Kirla was not a born fighter ace. He was an ordinary young American who had come up through flight training in Texas, graduating at the start of 1944. He learned his trade on trainers, moved up to fighters, and got just 15 hours in the P-51 Mustang before being sent to England as a replacement pilot. He joined the 362nd Fighter Squadron of the 357th Fighter Group, a unit based at Leiston that was already becoming a legend. The 357th was the first group in the Eighth Air Force fully equipped with the Mustang, and it would go on to produce more aces than any other fighter group in the Eighth, including Chuck Yeager and Bud Anderson. Kirla was the newest pilot in a squadron already filled with experienced aces. His job was to escort American bombers deep into Germany and protect them from the Luftwaffe. On November 27 1944, he got the day that would define him. Five Victories in One Mission That morning the 357th ran headlong into a massive swarm of German fighters trying to get at the bombers. Kirla's flight dropped their fuel tanks and dived straight into the middle of it. Almost immediately, the fight became a swirling, low-level brawl of Mustangs, Messerschmitts, and Focke-Wulfs twisting across the sky. Kirla picked out his first target and opened fire, and from that moment he did not stop hunting. In his own account, he spotted a Bf 109 that was attacking an American bomber. He went after it, closed to just 30 yards, and when the German threw his fighter into a tight barrel roll straight down toward the ground, Kirla stayed glued to his tail and, in his words, clobbered him all over until he went down. An Ace in a Day He kept finding more. Again and again through that wild, sprawling fight, Kirla latched onto an enemy aircraft and did not let go. At one point he watched a German fighter shoot down one of his fellow Mustang pilots right in front of him, and closed in for revenge. As he described it afterward, he opened fire, saw pieces start to fly off the enemy aircraft, and watched it fall out of the sky like a leaf drifting to the ground. Rather than breaking away and climbing back to safety, Kirla chased his targets down low, following them almost to the ground, the fighters weaving over villages and treetops until the enemy aircraft finally went down. By the time the fight was over, John Kirla had shot down five German aircraft in a single mission. He had become an ace in a day, one of the relatively few American fighter pilots to achieve that in a single mission. The Mustang That Changed the Air War The Mustang was the aircraft that made days like Kirla's possible. The P-51 combined long range, high speed, and deadly firepower, and it could follow the bombers all the way to their targets and fight the German fighters on equal or better terms. By the end of the war, P-51 groups had claimed close to 5,000 enemy aircraft shot down, about half of all American air-to-air kills in the European theater. Kirla's own group, the 357th, became the top-scoring Mustang group in the Eighth Air Force. Flying one of the finest escort fighters of the war, men like Kirla helped turn the tide of the air war over Germany. The gun-camera film rolling every time he pressed the trigger captured it all, including the footage you are watching. John Kirla's Legacy John Kirla flew on to the end of his combat tour and finished the war as a double ace, credited with 11 and a half enemy aircraft destroyed in the air. He was awarded the Silver Star and the Distinguished Flying Cross for his courage in the skies over Europe. He had gone from a trainee with a handful of hours in a Mustang to one of the deadliest fighter pilots in one of the deadliest fighter groups of the war, in the span of a single year. The footage of his Mustang chasing a Bf 109 down to the trees is only a few seconds long. But behind those few seconds is a young American who climbed into a fighter, dove into a swarm of the enemy, and shot down five of them before the day was out. This was the story of John Kirla. I post a story like this every single day. Most people never see them. Follow so you don't miss the next one.

The vet had been honest with the Hollands. Baxter didn't have much time left, and the kindest thing they could do now was make whatever he had left count. So on a warm Saturday in June , instead of a normal quiet day at home, they loaded the old Bernese into the back of the van and drove him two hours to the coast. Baxter had never seen the ocean. He was 13, and his whole life had been the backyard and the same worn spot on the living room rug. The kids wanted him to see something big before he went. He moved slow getting out of the van. His back legs weren't what they used to be, and the boys had to help him down onto the sand. For a second he just stood there at the top of the beach, nose up, taking in all that salt air and open water like he couldn't quite believe it. Then something in him shifted. He started down toward the surf on his own, stiff and determined, the way he used to trot to the door when the kids came home from school. When the first cold wave washed over his paws, his whole face lit up. He didn't run, he couldn't, but he waded in up to his chest and stood in the shallow water with the sun going down behind him, and the whole family just watched. Nobody said much. They didn't need to. They stayed until the light was almost gone, taking pictures, letting Baxter rest against their legs, giving him one perfect afternoon to hold onto. The vet was right about the time. Baxter left them a few weeks later, at home, surrounded by the people who loved him. But he saw the ocean first. And every one of them is glad they gave him that.

🚨🇪🇺🇧🇪 BRUSSELS BOILS: BELGIAN FARMERS CLASH WITH COPS AT EU HQ OVER MERCOSUR DEAL Chaos erupted as hundreds of Belgian farmers stormed Brussels with tractors, blocking roads, hurling eggs and potatoes, and torching tires right outside the EU Parliament and summit spot. Police hit back with tear gas and water cannons, turning the scene into a smoky battlefield as protesters flipped the Christmas tree into a bonfire of rage. This flare-up's all about the EU-Mercosur trade pact, 25 years brewing, that'd flood Europe with cheap beef, sugar, and poultry from Brazil and crew. No tariffs, while local farmers get hammered by sky-high costs and strict green regs. Protesters say it's a death sentence for their livelihoods, undercutting prices without the same labor or eco standards. And why's the EU failing farmers big time? It's a toxic mix: Brussels' obsession with net-0 pushes like pesticide cuts and fallow land rules jacks up expenses without fair pay, while ignoring rural voices drowned out by urban elites. Farmers must comply with Good Agricultural and Environmental Conditions (GAEC) that indirectly limit production capacity. Key examples include: - Requiring at least 4% of arable land to be devoted to non-productive features (e.g., hedges, ponds, or fallow areas) for biodiversity, effectively setting aside land that can't be used for crops. - Mandating crop rotation on farms over 10 hectares, limiting monoculture practices that could maximize yields. - Banning cutting hedges/trees during bird breeding seasons, protecting landscape features, and restricting land use. - Protecting wetlands and peatlands, with new requirements that may limit farming on sensitive areas. These are tied to CAP subsidies (all farmers must follow them, even without direct support), aiming for sustainability but often criticized for reducing output and raising costs. No hard caps on total output exist, but these rules effectively constrain what farmers can produce on their land. Meaning? Subsidies get slashed, imports surge from places dodging EU rules, and family farms go bust, echoing 2024 waves that forced policy U-turns, but clearly not enough to stop the revolt.

Day 2: Israel decimales Iranian Installations - Iran Retaliates Unprecedentedly Overnight Israel and the US have been relentlessly bombing Iranian territory on the second day of the war, launching strikes primarily from Iraqi and Saudi airspace. Approximately 1,000 targets have been hit in Iran, including air bases and bunkers. The Iranian navy was also targeted, with 3 to 4 warships sunk. However, it's worth noting that only one of these vessels was modern; the others date back to the 1960s. The hunt for Iranian missile launchers continues, with Israel striking several mobile launchers and anti-aircraft units daily. This is an extremely arduous task, as estimates from The Military Balance suggest Iran may possess up to 500 mobile launchers and hundreds of SHORAD systems. On this second day, Iran decided to strike five bases/airports being used by US-Israel forces all at once. The Saudi Prince Sultan Air Base was hit by multiple ballistic missiles, with several reports of smoke rising. Similarly, Iraq's Ain Al-Asad base was targeted. But nothing compared to the intensity of the attacks on Erbil Air Base in northern Iraq and Ben Gurion Airport, which came under several ballistic missiles overnight. And do you know what the biggest problem is? Iranian missiles are slipping through Israeli and American air defenses like a hot knife through butter. Yesterday and today, I've shown videos where launchers fire up to 9 (or more) interceptors in attempts to down a single Iranian missile, often with little success. Iran's retaliation against US bases in Qatar, Bahrain, and the UAE continued on the second day, mainly using drones. As I mentioned yesterday, Iran has proven that the war is only just beginning. It targeted Israeli cities with modern missiles that disperse submunitions during reentry, significantly expanding the affected areas. These missiles had never been used before in combat, showing that Iran is now deploying its most advanced systems, which are also far more resilient to interceptors. At the current rate, interceptors will run out soon, and panic will grip both Israeli and American leadership. Both sides are failing in their primary objective: significantly reducing Iran's launch capacity, which remains high, with roughly 450 missiles and 850 drones ready in just two days. If this pace holds, defensive munitions won't last more than 4-5 days. Based on what we've observed, Iran launches 200-220 missiles per day, while the coalition expends no fewer than 700-1,000 interceptors (or even more), with very limited success. In the best-case scenario, this gives about 5 days of defensive ammo left; in the realistic (worst-case) scenario I've estimated from the interceptions I've seen, it's only 4 days. This puts enormous pressure on the leaders of both countries to seek a ceasefire. I believe that if Iran refuses a ceasefire, both Israel and the US will push for Gulf countries to enter the war, aiming to bolster defenses and deter further Iranian actions. The entry of these countries would be paramount for the US and Israel due to their air support and, especially, their naval power. These Gulf nations possess approximately 400 vessels, including frigates, corvettes, and patrol boats. But until that happens, the war boils down to the same question: What runs out first, Iran's missile launch capability or the coalition's interceptors?
