India Joining One Of Europe’s Fighter Programs Is Anything But Easy India has an urgent need for new combat aircraft but the European next-generation fighter offerings may not be the answer. twz.com/air/india-join…

Story is old, Sutton did first story on it, we did a follow up in July: twz.com/air/chinas-mys…

@FriendlySt79779 I think tomorrow the second part will go or Monday at the latest

@Aviation_Intel Excellent content. When are the next parts of the interview dropping?

Former CENTCOM Commander’s Candid Take On The Situation In The Strait Of Hormuz Retired Army General Joseph Votel offers unique insights into what it will take to wrestle the Strait of Hormuz from Iran's clutches. Exclusive: twz.com/news-features/…

@TheAviationist I don’t think that’s an issue with pylons etc why would you balloon the radar signature even further during combat operations? Also I was generally curious if there was something new on this, wasn’t being flippant.

@Aviation_Intel No one said it would. What’s interesting is that either they’re not concerned about anyone characterizing the jet’s signature with external stores, or more likely the pylons and rails themselves have only a marginal impact on its overall RCS.

Interesting image of an F-35I carrying external AIM-9X missiles and GBU-31(V)1/B JDAMs. Note the absence of radar reflectors despite the external stores.

@rickjnewman Haha it happens! Welcome!

@Aviation_Intel Glad to have found TWZ When I first looked I thought it was TMZ and wondered why the hell would Votel be talking to TMZ

@jaredsthumbs @fs3indy @MendlovitzMark No need. Well established operating concept IR alone.

@fs3indy @MendlovitzMark @Aviation_Intel If the video is real, I'd imagine detection was made with low frequency radar before targeting with IR.

A-10 Warthogs Are Prowling For Iranian Boats In The Strait Of Hormuz A-10s are executing one of the lesser-known missions they've trained to do for decades, hunting down Iranian fast attack boats and mine layers in the strait. twz.com/air/a-10-warth…

@RachedOnline Was from this morning.

@Aviation_Intel Looks like this interview is from before Iran got serious about hitting their oil.

@thenewarea51 @LadyAstroJet Beautiful flying machine. Those wings are elegant.

The Northrop Grumman RQ-180 landing at Larissa air base in Greece yesterday. This is the first time the public has heard what a 180 sounds like. 😎🤙

SCOOP: Marine Corps F-35Bs are set to deliver in Lot 17 without radars due to delays with the APG-85. Starting in Lot 18, all F-35s delivered to the U.S. military will be awaiting a radar. With @michaeldmarrow and @Diana_Stancy : breakingdefense.com/2026/03/exclus…

So interesting how stuff the defense press has been reporting on in great detail for years, some of us outright and repeatedly warning about glaring gas and issues for a decade or more, are packaged into posts for big outlets years later once the problem has totally metastasized. I think stories on these issues are great to do by all, even the MSM hitting it much later, it's just weird because it is the farthest thing from new, but usually these stories are written as if the writers broke a big story. It's wild to see how the whole process has become inverted, with the big guys being last, not first. (This is not directly about Gregg's story here, just an example of new story from a larger outlet on one of these issues)

USAF F-35 Makes Emergency Landing After Allegedly Being Hit by Iranian Fire The F-35 was flying a mission over Iran when it was forced to divert. A video claiming to show the engagement points to a key threat we have highlighted repeatedly. twz.com/air/usaf-f-35-…

@DavidWard_FL No. To stand it up again after its gone would be a massive undertaking. Not the hardware more the human side of it.

@Aviation_Intel Tyler: TWZ has written lots about A10s + the discontinuation has been expected for ages. But given how multi-purpose they are (even w/out stealth/advance electronics), do we have some plan to un-mothball them if a MAJOR conflict arose+we need all assets we can get our hands on?

This is some photo. Twilight of their careers now.
