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.

G20 SUMMIT DAY 2: CRITICAL ROAD CLOSURES Today is the final day of the summit, meaning high-volume VIP movements are expected as delegates depart. The rolling closures are active, and motorists are advised that highways and main arterials will be completely closed intermittently to allow convoys to pass. This causes sudden, standstill traffic for 30–60 minutes at a time. The most critical times for these closures today are: * Morning: 07:00 – 10:00 * Evening: 15:00 – 20:00 We can confirm that specific closures will be in effect for today, Sunday: * Nasrec Precinct (Summit Venue): * Nasrec Road: Closed between Rand Show Road and Shaft 17 Road. * Rand Show Road: Northern portion closed between the N1 and Nasrec Road. * Golden Highway: Closed between Rand Show Road and Soweto Highway. * Booysens Reserve Road: Closed near Crownwood Road. Sandton and Rosebank: Expect disruptions on Grayston Drive, Rivonia Road, Maude Street, Oxford Road, and Jan Smuts Avenue as dignitaries move between their accommodations. Weather services have issued warnings for severe thunderstorms in the Gauteng region today. The combination of slippery roads, poor visibility, and heavy G20 congestion significantly increases the risk of accidents. We urge drivers to maintain a safe following distance and keep their headlights on at all times. As of this morning, no new massive highway blockages have been reported, but the network is extremely fragile. Any minor accident will cause gridlock due to the existing G20 pressure. Motorists are advised to avoid the highways (N1, M1, N12, R21, R24) if possible, and they can use alternatives such as: * Roodepoort: Use Beyers Naudé Drive, Christiaan De Wet, or Ontdekkers Roads. * Sandton/North: Use smaller side streets parallel to Rivonia/Oxford (though these will still be busy). * South: Use Chris Hani Road, Main Reef Road, or Soweto Highway, (where open) to bypass the Nasrec lockdown.

Attack on Iranian Protesters in Vienna Following Peaceful Demonstration On the evening of 4 March 2026, around 21:30–22:00, Iranian activists held a peaceful demonstration in front of the Imam Ali Center to express their political views and to protest against the Islamic Republic of Iran. The demonstration was officially registered and authorized and took place in the presence of the Austrian police. Throughout the event, participants remained peaceful and exercised their democratic right to freedom of expression and peaceful assembly. However, during the demonstration we were repeatedly threatened by individuals affiliated with the Islamic Republic, who were standing across the street. Some of them made explicit threatening gestures, including hand signs imitating the act of beheading. Around 21:30, after most participants had already left and while a small group of organizers and logistics volunteers were packing the remaining equipment, the police temporarily left the immediate area. At that moment, a group of individuals suddenly emerged from inside the Imam Ali Center, where they had apparently remained hidden. They launched a violent attack against the remaining members of our team. During the attack: Hot water was thrown at protesters. Several attackers were seen concealing knives or sharp objects under their jackets. Members of our organizing and logistics team were physically assaulted. As a result of the attack, approximately eight to nine people were injured, several of them seriously enough to require hospital treatment. Some participants, including women, suffered severe shock and trauma. Fortunately, the police returned quickly after being called and were able to prevent the situation from escalating further. Video evidence exists showing the threatening gestures made during the demonstration as well as the first moments of the attack. The initial seconds of the assault were recorded before the situation rapidly escalated. As organizers and eyewitnesses, we consider this incident a serious act of politically motivated violence against peaceful protesters exercising their democratic rights in Austria. We call on the Austrian authorities to fully investigate this attack and ensure the safety of Iranian activists who peacefully advocate for freedom and human rights. Freedom of expression and peaceful assembly must be protected. Violent intimidation by regime-affiliated groups cannot be tolerated in a democratic society.

‼️🇷🇺📸 Satellite images confirm: A major oil refinery in the Russian city of Slaviansk-on-Kuban has suffered significant damage. A detailed analysis of the aftermath of the attack on the "Slaviansk-Eco" oil refinery in the Krasnodar region of Russia, which occurred on the night of June 28, using Ukrainian kamikaze drones, has been released. ✅ At least 17 fuel tanks of various capacities have been completely destroyed on the territory of the plant. Several other tanks have been seriously damaged, and large-scale oil spills and fires have been observed nearby. 🎯 The most critical loss for the plant is the shutdown of two atmospheric-vacuum oil refining units. These units are the "heart" of any refinery, as they are responsible for separating crude oil into its primary fractions. Their severe damage means that the plant's normal operation will be completely suspended. ▪️ Catastrophic damage has also been inflicted on the internal infrastructure: 🔥 In some sectors, the pipeline network has been completely burned out. Horizontal storage tanks for finished products and auxiliary equipment have been seriously damaged. According to experts, restoring such high-tech facilities requires complex engineering work and significant time and resources. 🏭 The Slaviansk plant was one of the leading energy facilities in southern Russia. Its design capacity was 5.2 million tons of crude oil per year (approximately 100-105 thousand barrels per day). The plant provided almost 9% of the total oil refining in the Southern Federal District of Russia. ▪️ The fuel processed at this plant was of vital importance for the Krasnodar and Stavropol regions, the Rostov region, and the occupied Crimea. In addition to domestic consumption, the plant's products were actively used to support military and civilian logistics through the ports of the Black Sea. ❌ The long-term shutdown of the plant will place a huge burden on the entire fuel system of the southern Russian region. The Kremlin will have to reorganize the logistics chains for the supply of oil products and redirect flows to other plants. The situation is further complicated by the fact that some of the other refining facilities in the region are already in a state of forced repair, as a result of successful attacks by the Ukrainian armed forces and the "long-range sanctions."
