Latin American Military Aviation

Almost a month into the air campaign against Iran and no indication Oghab 44, the #IRIAF underground facility NW of Bandar Abbas, has been targeted - this is interesting and worth considering 1/

@DustinWaters12 @mason_8718 My knowledge of ground forces doesn't go much past Weekend QL2 but for sure regaining SPG capability is a big thing for the army - this particular one is impressive in your opinion?

@LatinMilAv @mason_8718 As a retired Canadian Gunner. I want the K9A2’s and the future to be the K9A3’s.

🇪🇸🤝🇰🇷 Breaking News. Hanwha Aerospace and Indra have officially agreed to partner on Spain's next-generation self-propelled howitzer program. This project is considered a key undertaking for the Spanish military and is estimated to be worth 4.5 billion euros. The project comprises a total of approximately 330 units, including 128 next-generation self-propelled howitzers, 128 ammunition resupply vehicles, 21 recovery vehicles, and 59 command and control vehicles. Spain will lead the platform design and production based on K9, while Hanwha will exclusively supply key components. Also, partnering with Spain makes it easier to target the Latin American market. Meanwhile, Hanwha Aerospace is focusing on the simultaneous development of the next-generation self-propelled howitzer K9A2 and the ultra-long-range system K9A3.

@CasualArtyFan @SpaghettiKozak Ground based and air defense against all categories of UAV will evolve and everything from the simple shotgun to laser guided aircraft rockets, interceptor drones, and who knows what else, will be part of the fast evolving picture (had to throw the ST pic in!)

@CasualArtyFan @SpaghettiKozak Operations with Yaks and backseat shotguns are the product of a military using any means at their disposal to meet an immediate and real threat, and both threat and counter measure continue to evolve, so yes it's true that many are jumping to conclusions at this early stage..

Folks will try and train infantry to use shotguns to shoot down drones, I think they should take a step back and watch videos like this.

@FuriousManiati Someone's boss really wanted to spend their budget allocation that year

🤣City of Atlanta Police🤣 I mean WTAF?!. How do you expect us 2 take wannabes seriously. He’s got more attachments on that rifle than the entire Seal Team 6. Optics🤣 TactiKool Light🤣 Suppressor/Tea Cup🤣 Electric toothbrush🤣 First sound of gunfire I bet he shits his pants.

@ScienceDJX So far so good...

Top of the morning: Well, Elon said they were fixing the algorithm, and we should start noticing this week. Is it better for you? Do you see my post on your "for you" now?

@prestonstew_ Today Tehran, tomorrow Havana?

Good news, we’ve won the war.

@wazoeshi Thanks!

@LatinMilAv Who cares, your posts are a joy to read. Keep going strong hermano!

Wow, not bad for the miscellaneous ramblings of a model airplane-building spaz geek. Half are bots and Belarussian sex trade workers but what the hell, thanks anyways! 😃

@17frosted @CANADA566 @VanceNate @jdallen_wa @willthiel Might be it's final act, unless it's somehow saved yet again which some in the USAF might be fighting for...

@LatinMilAv @CANADA566 @VanceNate @jdallen_wa @willthiel Thank you for taking the time to share your opinion. I hope everything goes well with these very advanced, expensive aircraft. BTW, guess what's back: x.com/Osinttechnical…

WTF. @CANADA566 @VanceNate @LatinMilAv @jdallen_wa @willthiel

@SA_Defensa Where to start - the C-390 is now a clear rival to the C-130, an aircraft that had virtually no competition for decades in the tactical transport category. Impressive.

Whoever came up with the product catalog for the Brazilian defense industry 2026 has my heart and soul, a wonderful read and I enjoyed every second of it. gov.br/defesa/pt-br/a…

Soldiers from 1 CMBG have concluded their activities on Op NANOOK-NUNALIVUT.. They gave it their all on this crucial operation to support the detection, deterrence, and defence against potential threats in the North and the Arctic.

@CcibChris Just entering the "grey" era with some of VF-1 Wolfpack's glorious colours just hanging on

Grumman A-6 Intruder takes on the vital role of tanker, extending the reach of the legendary Grumman F-14 Tomcat mid-air. Probably 1987

@17frosted @CANADA566 @VanceNate @jdallen_wa @willthiel It's serious no doubt, but at the end of the day every western air force that flies or plans to fly it understand that it's capabilities are impressive - case in point, Germany who already operate Eurofighter

@LatinMilAv @CANADA566 @VanceNate @jdallen_wa @willthiel An aircraft like the F-35 being shipped without its radar sounded strange to me, as I'm a civilian. "It was decided to equip the new aircraft with the upgrade architecture so that the radar can be installed immediately upon arrival." There are concerns about combat readiness.

@ScienceDJX Thanks bud, likewise!

@LatinMilAv You are a great person to follow. I appreciate your insights. Keep up the great work!

Canada should be preparing, not disarming.

@UberJumper @CCFR_CCDAF @NathalieProvost @gary_srp It's difficult to watch, clearly not someone who should be involved in this useless program. These people are working themselves up while illegal guns smuggled from the US are in daily criminal use in our major cities.

@CCFR_CCDAF @NathalieProvost @gary_srp People participating in the ASFCP won't be able to recuperate their money anyways! Even if *EVERYONE* handed in their (suddenly prohibited) guns, they're not paying fairly for them. She can't differentiate between the gun and the monster that shot at her. She needs counselling.

👀 UNHINGED: Desperation is beginning to show from the federal Liberals as MP @NathalieProvost and Safety Minister @Gary_SRP announce truly dismal participation numbers (only 51,000 declarations) with only a week to go in the failed gun confiscation program. Q&A starts @ 4:38 👇

@magictouch190 No retired quite a few years ago and eventually replaced by the ex-RAF E-3

@LatinMilAv Is it still operational today?
