@softrituaI What are the notebooks for? I keep a journal, a spiritual journal and a personal history.

@RealAirPower1 The only F-5 I've seen in the metal was former @air_force 🇨🇦 in service with the Botswana AirForce🇧🇼
English

The F-5 started a movement. Its "lightweight" philosophy, along with the MiG-21, of course, became the blueprint for the F-16, currently the world's most prolific fighter. You can still see the F-5's DNA in the Swedish JAS-39 Gripen, the Indian Tejas, and the Pakistani JF-17, all jets that prioritize agility and cost over raw size. It’s rare for a 70-year-old design to still feel this relevant, but the F-5’s legacy is clearly baked into the very soul of modern airpower. 2/2

Back in the ’50s, when America was obsessed with making jet fighters bigger, heavier, and more expensive, Northrop decided to break the rules and go the other way. Northrop built the F-5 Freedom Fighter: a tiny, agile rebel that proved you didn't need a massive airframe or a bloated budget to be lethal. It was so effective that over 2,600 were built, serving with 37 different nations across the globe. It was the ultimate proof that "less is more" can work! 1/2

@maxbergmann Multiple NATO European countries alreadu have troops and equipment based in the Baltics.
English

What's the plan, Europe? NATO has nothing. All the eggs are in the Trump basket. So what do you do when its 2028, 200k Russian troops are moved to the border of Baltic states, and Trump/US isn't going to lift a finger. What do you do?

@AlexLuck9 Which chassis could they use? Can they start produce Le Clerc chassis?
English

It amuses me that the interim solution for the French Leclerc replacement through MGCS, which officials state is too far away is another KNDS design that is also yet undecided.
That said I suspect it will be a French chassis using a French turret. 😉 breakingdefense.com/2026/04/france…

@RealAirPower1 There's also the argument that if TSR 2 happened then no Tornado. Tornadoes success as a multinational design led to Typhoon.
English

On this day in 1965, the UK Labour Government axed the BAC TSR-2 in favor of the General Dynamics F-111. It was the last real attempt by Britain to "single-handedly" design and build a top-tier combat aircraft. A technical marvel that looked like it belonged in the future, the TSR-2 unfortunately became one of aviation’s greatest "what ifs." Even decades later, it’s hard not to wonder how British airpower would have evolved if the "White Bird" had actually entered service. Anyway, #avgeeks, do you think the TSR-2 could have truly outclassed the Aardvark, or was the project just too ambitious for its own good?
