@X28850439748752 @klaasm67 Oke? Ben je vergeten toen Duitsland Nederland binnen viel? “Oh ja maar dat gaat niet gebeuren” ohja precies net zoals dat Rusland noooit Oekraine zou binnenvallen

@klaasm67 Praat gewoon Nederlands Klaas. Wat verdedig je dan eigenlijk? Weet je wel waar Nederland ligt?

The Netherlands is increasing its defence budget to 2.8% of GDP, on track for 3.5% by 2035. This allows rapid progress toward a future-ready armed forces, with more combat power, personnel, innovation, and investment in cyber, drones, and defence industry. 🇳🇱

Earlier today, a convoy of 4 cruise ships ran the Strait of Hormuz at full speed, sailing under fire through the Iranian-declared minefield.

US Navy Tomahawk cruise missile flying over Iran’s capital, Tehran, this morning.

Footage of a USAF C-295W from the 427th Special Operations Squadron flying low over the western Iranian desert early this morning.

The view from Russia's Black Sea port of Novorossiysk during last night's Ukrainian drone attack. Multiple areas of the port can be seen burning, including the critical oil export terminal, as AAA fire, Ukrainian drones, and explosions fill the night sky.

@PhantomLight3 @z0rglub357240 @prestonstew_ Literally EVERY NATO member helped the US when they invoked article 5 in 2001. Remember Afghanistan?

@z0rglub357240 @prestonstew_ NATO is unreliable lmao. Can’t even commit to 2% defense spending until they were called out. They are a paper tiger and without the U.S. funding, they are nothing.

Not to overreact, but an American President calling NATO a paper tiger is probably the kind of thing we'll look back on as a turning point in the alliance. A lot of agreements are built on the perception of strength, the idea of what could come together if needed. Saying there's nothing there pretty quickly strips NATO of a lot of it's power. If an alliance isn't as strong as hoped, then we build it up, reform or leave. Publicly announcing to our adversaries that NATO is weaker than they think only benefits those who wish to do us harm.

Spotted flying at low level over western Iran this morning; a C-295W from the USAF’s 427th Special Operations Squadron, a clandestine unit that reportedly specializes in infiltration and exfiltration into enemy territory.

Location of the USAF forward base set up deep within Iran for the F-15 crew rescue mission. The base was set up just outside of Isfahan, a critical Iranian strategic hub with missile and army bases, nuclear facilities, and the airbase home to Iran’s F-14 fleet.

During the rescue mission, American operators were forced to destroy a pair of transport planes after they became stuck on the ground at a remote forward base in Iran.

Hezbollah continues to use fiber-optic FPV attack drones to target Israeli armor in southern Lebanon. Seen here, a pair of FPV strikes that hit Israeli Merkava Mk.4 MBTs. First one hits one of the tanks in its track, while the second hits the heavily armored turret front.

This photo of Earth is EXTRA spectacular for a good reason... let me explain. Most images you see of Earth from space are the daylight side of the Earth, and it's obviously very bright (see my last image), this means stars are too dim to be seen with that bright exposure setting (low ISO, high shutter and / or stopped down aperture). BUT this image taken by the Orion crew looks so incredible because you can see the sun is BEHIND the earth, meaning it's night time on the side of the earth facing the crew in this image. So how do you expose a night time earth from space? Same way you do on Earth! A mixture of opening up the aperture (F4 in this case), cranking the ISO (51,200 here), and using a relatively long exposure (1/4 of a second). We can see the settings used by looking at the exif data from the camera. What this means is our camera is also sensitive enough to see stars in the background of Earth, leading to an extraordinary image!!! GREAT WORK!!! These are the kind of images I've been so excited to see!
