Stills from a vid uploaded on Fighterbomber's Telegram page show Su-34 "09" Red(likely RF-93838 from 559th BAP) with a "Z" behind cockpit. It's equipped with what is likely a L-175VU-series or L-175VSh-1 centerline ECM pod. Interestingly, it's unarmed (possibly training sortie).

@Cheese_Slyder I just finished a book on it by one of the operators. Just drafting my review for @Balloons2Drones. Will definitely do an episode on it. Good call

Last year I recorded an episode on Major General Benjamin Foulois with USAF Brig Gen Matteo Martemucci. General Martemucci described the importance of Foulois, and how his legacy of innovation is vital to the Air Force today.

General @Deptula_David got sanctioned?!? Congrats Sir, that's mighty high praise. I may have a new career goal, get individually sanctioned by Putin and his cabal of sycophants.
Valerie Insinna@ValerieInsinna
This list of individuals sanctioned by Russia is bonkerballs. Aerojet Rocketdyne CEO Eileen Drake? Mark Zuckerberg? Mitchell Institute head @Deptula_David ?!?! Washington Post journalist @IgnatiusPost ?!?!?!?!?!??!?

Here's everything we know so far about Pheonix Ghost, the bespoke @AEVEX_Aerospace -produced tactical drone that the US Air Force designed to meet the Ukrainian military's requirements. Will update this with more info if I get it today.

@Major_Major987 I actually have a frame that has the oldest FWS patch I could find, as well as everyone I've worn (BDU, flight suit, ABU, OCP), but that seemed like a little bit much. The interview was only 4 minutes long so I couldn't weave it seamlessly into the conversation. Maybe next time
English
@AirmindedPod Wait, are you a patch? That might explain some things haha

Had my first on-air interview today, got to talk to BBC World News about the new military aid package to Ukraine. I hid "Easter eggs" throughout my office that refer to every Air Force unit I've served in. Wish this screenshot were a little higher res so you could spot them all
English
@JayMcvann Please tell me there is more to this story, there must be a secret replacement in the pipeline, right? Right?!? Electronic attack is absolutely critical to air and space operations. I really hope there is a plan to not only replace, but enhance US electronic attack capabilities
English
@SimSedlo I had no idea, I love his stuff. I have to pick up the book now. Thanks for the point out.

@RDEIL @usairforce @USNavy Good question and I don't know for sure, but with 10,000+ you'd think there are probably a few survivors
English
@AirmindedPod @usairforce @USNavy Great podcast. I wonder if they’re any survivors from the Navy task force.
English
I do have a day job besides podcasting. I contributed to this piece on the forthcoming US National Defense Strategy...

Earlier this week I released the Doolittle Raid episode, but last year on this date I told the little known story of the tragedy & later triumph of the 32d Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron, which was nearly annihilated on this date in 1944.

1967: MEDAL OF HONOR. Maj Leo K. Thorsness receives his medal by protecting a mission to rescue downed airmen in North Vietnam. He is shot down, captured, and held as a prisoner of war until 4 March 1973.
English
@coda_vex Glad to hear you enjoyed it. The listenership doubled for the Ukraine Air War episodes (and more still coming), but I was hoping some of the listeners would like the other content as well. Thanks for the note. --Gorilla
