The scale of Balikatan 2026’s maritime strike & long-range missile drills compared to previous exercises is staggering. Their concentration in Northern Luzon also demonstrates the changing priorities of Balikatan. My latest with Naval News with a great graphic by @Drethegrater:

A Russian tank is 40 kilometres from the front line. The crew thinks they’re safe. The crew is wrong. A Ukrainian fixed-wing reconnaissance drone is already overhead. The tank’s coordinates are already in Delta — Ukraine’s combat coordination system. The strike drones are already queuing up. The tank has minutes to live, and the soldiers riding past in the truck behind it don’t know they’re about to be a bonus. Meet “Domakha” — the reconnaissance wing crew of Ukraine’s 42nd Separate Mechanised Brigade. ArmyInform spent a day with them. This is what modern warfare actually looks like in 2026. 🧵👇

🚩Note: Critical international response to the White House Correspondents Dinner (#WHCD) incident and post-facto “ #ReichstagFire” political implications: 🔥🔥🆘The international 🌏press has been quick to frame the White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting as a potential "Reichstag moment," with several non-American outlets expressing skepticism about how the incident will be leveraged for political gain by Trump, his party and core supporters. Foreign Media Skepticism (Last 4 Hours) • 🇫🇷Le Monde (France): A lead editorial suggests the incident is being "meticulously staged" to justify a broader crackdown on domestic political opposition. The analysis notes that while the trauma is real, the speed with which the administration pivoted to "enemies within" rhetoric suggests a prepared response. • 🇩🇪Der Spiegel (Germany): Using the most direct historical parallels, commentators have questioned whether this represents a "Washingtoner Reichstagsbrand" (Washington Reichstag Fire). The skepticism centers on the immediate call for emergency decrees and the suspension of standard legal oversight following the shooting. • 🇪🇸El País (Spain): Reports focus on the "transactional use of tragedy," noting that the incident provides a convenient distraction from recent setbacks in the Middle East and domestic economic pressures. • 🇬🇧The Guardian (UK): Coverage emphasizes the "security-industrial complex" of the administration, suggesting the shooting will be used to permanently "fortify" the executive branch against judicial and legislative scrutiny. The prevailing sentiment in these original-language reports follows three distinct lines of skepticism: The "Pre-Written" Script: Observation that the political messaging—targeting specific "radical" groups—emerged before the shooter was even fully identified. The "Bargaining Chip" Theory: In Asia, particularly in 🇹🇼Taiwan (United Daily News), there is concern that a "shaken" administration might use the domestic crisis as an excuse to pull back from international commitments, focusing instead on internal "purification." The "Basket Case" Narrative: Across European outlets, the shooting is cited as final proof that the U.S. has devolved into a "failed state" where even the most secure elite gatherings are subject to the same chaos as rural schools.

@DJISupport We just noticed a hairline crack on an antenna for our Air 2s controller. Is that a replaceable part?

You can still dine at Restaurant Fournaise, on the banks of the Seine, the setting for Renoir’s Luncheon of the Boating Party 140 years ago. Incidentally, that’s Aline, Renoir’s future wife, at lower L, & fellow artist Gustave Caillebotte at lower R artinsociety.com/floating-pleas…
