@Cheekybaua Those are combat air patrols... in case Iran is launching more missiles and UAVs against the UAE or shipping

@DefenceGeek The concentration of thrones around Hormuz is what’s especially interesting.. literally locked and loaded waiting on the command… who knows how many jets are airborne ready to strike

It's going to be a long night...

@afneil Really not hard to credit @TBrit90 when you take his stuff and post it...

This is the Royal Navy. We don’t have a navy. Rule Britannia? We can’t even rule the village pond. Or the Serpentine.

Ready and able. Thank you, @USAirForce, for your trust and partnership on the T-7A #RedHawk. Milestone C clears the way for low-rate initial production. Getting this trainer to future fighter and bomber pilots quickly is our mission and commitment to you. Let's go fly!

@TBrit90 @MATA_osint @flightradar24 Yup

@DefenceGeek @MATA_osint @flightradar24 Quite busy tonight?

Combat Air Patrols over Hormuz #FreeIran‌ --- #OperationEpicFury #ProjectFreedom --- A mixture of KC-135R "Stratotanker" and KC-46A "Pegasus" tankers from Prince Sultan Airbase (OEPS) in Saudi Arabia and Tel Aviv Ben Gurion Airport (LLBG) in Israel currently providing air-to-air refuelling for the combat air patrols operating in defence of the UAE and neighbouring allies following a day of heavy Iranian attacks on both shipping and land targets. A mixture of callsigns present, including "YETI", "MOBIL", "RIZZ" and "MOJO". @MATA_osint

It's not even TACO Tuesday yet...

The T-7A Red Hawk has officially been cleared for production. Explore how this milestone brings the #USAirForce one step closer to putting an essential capability into the hands of instructor pilots and students: dvidshub.net/r/1v48gn

U.S. Secret Service just evacuated us from our camera position at the White House north lawn. We’re now gathering in the briefing room. No indication as to what’s going on

The majority of my posts have been B-1s recently, so here is B-52 61-0001 c/s LOUD 36 over the top last week.

@Skypya11 Their own statement, not me: x.com/mofauae/status…

@DefenceGeek Are you joking, or are you naive enough to believe that the UAE is capable? Or perhaps you are trying, in one way or another, to push the UAE into making a mistake.

The UAE is fairly pissed off right now... "We will hit Iran back," says the Chair of their Defence Committee

@SrWyspys No, but the F-22s are currently based in Israel so given the ceasefire in place it's likely they were asked if they'd participate

@DefenceGeek But Israel doesn't have an F22

@TheobaldTiger9 I don't comment on live bomber missions if they are occurring anyway... there were training flights today but they're back to base now/soon

@DefenceGeek Any reported take-offs in Fairford?

@SrWyspys Flypast prep for a senior IDF officer retiring x.com/IAFsite/status…

@DefenceGeek Related to the F22 jets that flew over Jerusalem today?

Busy day for UAE air defences...

BREAKING: US and Israel are considering hitting Iranian missile launchers and an energy facility in response to the Iranian attack on the UAE, sources tell Israel Hayom

@callmeacynic @flightradar24 @MATA_osint There's 16 visible in that screenshot, and tbh it's usually 20+ but not all visible...

@DefenceGeek @flightradar24 @MATA_osint Counted 11 a few minutes ago.

Aerial Refuelling in Action #FreeIran‌ --- #OperationEpicFury #ProjectFreedom --- As per my X article the other day, tanker aircraft operating over CENTCOM during the ceasefire and prior to that during the first Phase of combat have generally stuck to specific corridors - tonight we can see a lot of those tankers operating in the "shifts" of aircraft following a busy day dealing with Iranian missile and UAV attacks against commercial shipping, the UAE and an attempt to attack a US warship this morning. @MATA_osint

The Israeli Iron Dome system assisted in intercepting an Iranian missile that was launched toward the United Arab Emirates (CNN).
