Tanker Fleet Update #IranWar‌ It's been quite a while since I've done one of these (over 6 weeks) due to external factors, so my list was fairly out-of-date when I came back to it. I've spent part of the last 24hrs updating it all, resulting in the following: 217 tankers of note: - 97 in CENTCOM - 77 in Europe - 41 recently returned to the US (since 6th July) - 2 exact locations unknown On top of this, a further 59 airframes returned to CONUS from Iran Ops more than 2 weeks ago, and a further 4 airframes have been confirmed destroyed or damaged. I will try to get back into a routine of posting an update at least once per week, as circumstances permit! @MATA_osint @ArmchairAdml @vcdgf555 @TheIntelFrog @steffanwatkins @AUX_OSINT @hey_itsmyturn @Faytuks

This is spot on. The failure to stand up to Asad - for which Miliband bears much guilt - led directly to Putin’s first invasion of Ukraine. An appalling choice for foreign secretary. The Kremlin will be delighted. telegraph.co.uk/politics/2026/…

The identity of the U.S. Army soldier who lost his life in Iraq on July 18, 2026 has been revealed. Sergeant Michael Swinton was tragically KIA during a controlled detonation of a downed Iranian drone. His identity was shared by his wife, Mia Gonzalez-Swinton, following official family notifications by the military. Please keep his family in your prayers during these difficult times.

It is “highly unusual” for a Russian warship to conduct a live-fire exercise close to the UK coast, a defence source says. This raises the very real possibility that the timing of a decision by the Russian frigate, Neustrashimy, to test fire its weapons 40 nautical miles off the coast of Plymouth on the day Andy Burnham was sworn in as PM on Monday was no coincidence…

Two years ago, @PalmerLuckey came to me with a concept for an autonomous, dual-use loyal wingman for attack reconnaissance helicopters. @anduriltech had been looking for a partner that had the right VTOL and advanced aviation team to design and build it alongside them. I said HELL YEAH! Since then, our teams have been designing this aircraft together. Archer took our eight years of aircraft design, powertrain, and manufacturing knowledge from the commercial program and put it into something new: a clean-sheet, dual-use aircraft platform. We developed it from first principles because you can't take an existing eVTOL aircraft built for an air taxi mission and tweak it for a substantially different one. We’re at Farnborough today with Anduril showing the world what we’ve been working on: Thunder, Anduril’s defense variant of this new platform. It’s badass. We’ll share more about the commercial variant (pictured here in the white livery) later this week. The team has already been test flying a full-scale surrogate of Thunder, and we plan to get the first platform prototype in the air next year. Proud of the team. This is just the beginning. archer.com/news/anduril-a…

5 hours ago .@SeanParnellASW dismissed this reporting as "baseless" "cherry-picking raw numbers" when the claim was 'dozens'. Now he goes on the record admitting to 100 casualties in 13 days, saying 96% have returned to duty. By the way, the Defense Casualty Analysis System that he points to - out of 100 since July 7th shows 14 and it's been updated several times since the 7th.

BREAKING via @CBSNews: Nearly 100 US service members have been injured in Iranian attacks on multiple bases in the Middle East this month, US officials told me. Some suffered traumatic brain injuries. Most have already returned to duty, two of the officials said.  Chief Pentagon Spokesman Sean Parnell confirmed the numbers in a statement to CBS. "While nearly 100 service members were deemed to have some degree of injury since July 7, 2026, 96% have returned duty. They are determined to get back in the fight. The vast majority of injuries experienced were minor concussions. Further updates will be posted on the Defense Casualty Analysis System. God is good!" Parnell said. cbsnews.com/live-updates/i…
