De ASW-fregatten komen nog later en België kijkt naar alternatieven, schrijft @kaspergoossens op basis van gesprekken met bronnen. De verdere vertraging levert ook wrevel op tussen de marines. Meer: marineschepen.nl/nieuws/ASW-fre…





#BREAKING: U.S. CENTCOM informs about the loss of a U.S. Air Force Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker aerial tanker during combat operations over western Iraq. Per statement, two aircraft were involved in the incident. One of the aircraft went down in western Iraq, while the second landed safely. The incident DIDN'T occur due to hostile or friendly fire.

De eerste Leonardo 127/64 LW is op een Nederlands fregat geplaatst. De Evertsen kreeg vanochtend het nieuwe wapen geïnstalleerd. Maar het nieuwe kanon is nog geen reden voor feest. Lees (€): marineschepen.nl/nieuws/Nieuw-k…



One of the wildest intercept videos I have ever seen. First glowing projectile: very likely a Stunner interceptor launched from David’s Sling, climbing toward the incoming MRBM warhead. Second glowing projectile: the incoming MRBM warhead descending toward the ground, evading the interceptor. Third glowing projectile entering from the right: very likely a Tamir interceptor launched from Iron Dome, approaching the MRBM warhead on a near-horizontal trajectory and successfully destroying it. In fact, you can see the interceptor’s flight path begin with a very shallow climb before reversing and flying toward the ground on a very shallow descent. The trajectory and intercept must have occured at the very limits of the system’s safety envelope. H/T to @Etienne_Marcuz for the video.
