@aviationarchive Also dubbed “the widow maker” for the amount of pilots it killed due to minimal aerodynamics

On March 4, 1954, XF-104 prototype 7786 took its maiden flight at Edwards AFB. Powered by a J65-B-3 turbojet engine—the J79 wasn't ready, this razor-thin winged design spanned just 21ft 9in and set the stage for the Mach 2 F-104 Starfighter, the missile with a man in it.👀

The $1.5 trillion investment is a GENERATIONAL DOWN PAYMENT on America’s national defense. This investment guarantees the United States maintains overwhelming strength and unmatched deterrence against any adversary for generations to come.

“We’re committing nearly $18 billion to operationalize Golden Dome for America to defend the homeland. We’re providing the largest investment in … space capabilities ever,” @SecWar 👇

False. Just 15% of CA primary energy consumption comes from ‘renewables.’ More than 75% of CA energy consumption is from oil and gas — that’s higher than the national rate. It is true that CA has embraced anti-hydrocarbon policies. The result? CA has the highest electricity rates in the continental U.S., the highest gas prices, and the highest adjusted poverty rate in America. I wouldn’t be bragging if that was my state.

The USS Abraham Lincoln has a crew of over 5,000 sailors and officers, making it one of the largest communities at sea. It can operate for 20+ years without refueling, using two efficient nuclear reactors.

Arleigh Burke destroyers: “The Sportscar of US Navy”

🚨 US GEN. DAN CAINE just went full AMERICAN MIGHT, praising the Arleigh Burke-class destroyers DOMINATING Iran! "Over 500 feet long they displace 9,000 tons and it is the sports car of the United States Navy." "They stand nearly 10 stories tall and their four gas turbine engines can drive the ship at 30 plus knots." "These ships are armed to the teeth with surface-to-air missiles, land attack cruise missiles, anti-ship missiles, anti-submarine rockets, torpedoes, five-inch naval guns, multiple electronic warfare systems, embarked helicopters extending the reach and capability of each and every one of these destroyers." "But far and away the most important weapon on board these ships is the American sailor. Over 300 warfighters are the heart and soul of these warships." Bless the troops 🇺🇸🇺🇸

Operation Epic Fury: April 1st Update

The Senate must enact the will of the people

Everything you said about the current state of the Navy's mine countermeasures capability is wrong. Not a little wrong. Completely, embarrassingly, dangerously wrong.... "The four ships we had dedicated to doing this we just decommissioned." The Avengers in Bahrain... Devastator, Dextrous, Gladiator, Sentry. Wooden-hulled ships from the 1980s. Ships that were pushing 40 years old. You know what replaced them? Three Independence-class Littoral Combat Ships... Canberra, Santa Barbara, and Tulsa… all three already deployed to U.S. 5th Fleet, all three operating in the Persian Gulf and Arabian Gulf right now, today, as you wrote this little rant. Not in San Diego. Not in drydock. In theater. Carrying the most advanced mine countermeasures mission package the Navy has ever fielded. USS Canberra arrived in Bahrain in May 2025 as the first LCS with a full MCM mission package. USS Santa Barbara is in the Arabian Gulf conducting mine countermeasures operations with unmanned surface vehicles… and, by the way, just made naval history by executing the first-ever at-sea launch of a LUCAS one-way attack drone from a littoral combat ship under Task Force 59. USS Tulsa is right there alongside them. Three ships. In the Gulf. Doing the mission. While you say the Navy "is absolutely not ready for this." These are fundamentally different platforms. Autonomous mine-hunting sonar… the AN/AQS-20C… towed by unmanned surface vehicles so sailors stay outside the minefield. Airborne laser mine detection systems on MH-60 helicopters. Unmanned influence sweep systems for acoustic and magnetic minesweeping. The old Avengers sent sailors INTO the minefield on wooden boats. The new systems keep them OUT of the minefield using robots... something you call a "downgrade" And while Santa Barbara hunts mines, she's operating under armed overwatch from A-10C Warthogs out of Jordan… loaded with JDAMs, laser-guided APKWS rockets, and enough firepower to shred any fast boat or drone swarm the Islamic Regime throws at them. The Avengers never had anything like that. "We lost all of our corporate knowledge." Really? The Navy spent a decade building, testing, qualifying, and deploying an entirely new mine warfare architecture specifically to preserve and advance that knowledge. They trained new crews. They ran operational tests on Cincinnati. They deployed the first operational package on Canberra. The Navy's mine countermeasures technical division ran this transition for years with deliberate overlap between old and new platforms. You lose corporate knowledge when you do nothing. The Navy did the opposite of nothing. "Now we're running an experiment and it's gonna cost people their lives." Three combat ships, forward deployed in the most contested waters on earth, running mine countermeasures with unmanned systems, protected by close air support, integrated with Task Force 59's autonomous warfare network. That's the most capable mine warfare force the United States has put in the Persian Gulf since 1991. Yelling "amateur hour" at people while getting the basic facts of the Navy's current force posture completely, demonstrably wrong… while three ships are literally in the water doing the job he says nobody can do… that IS amateur hour.

@ChaosPolicy Propaganda thread Trump spoke the Truth and hit a Home Run

Trump’s lies in his State of the Union address were expected but still frightening. More frightening though were the standing ovations the Republicans gave every one of them, dashing any hope for the bipartisanship that resolved America’s most contentious issues.

CNN confirming what we all suspected: it was the F-15QA that scored those Su-24 kills earlier this week! This marks the first-ever combat kill for the F-15QA and the Qatar Emiri Air Force. Apparently, the Fencers tried to stay sneaky, flying nap of the earth at 80ft to avoid radars, but the Eagles were up to the task. Eagle fans, rejoice.
