⚠️Ukrainian instructors sent to assist in the Middle East are shocked by how the US intercepts targets, according to The Times According to Ukrainian officers and instructors from the Ukrainian Armed Forces, who were involved in the defense of the Gulf countries, "the US launched as many as 8 Patriot missiles at a single enemy target, each costing over 3 million dollars," and also: "I don't understand what they were doing, what they were watching for four years while we’ve been at war."

I opriginally thought this was an incorrect statement but its perfectly right.
If Ukraine was able to destory Russian Shahed production, Russian would have been purchasing Irans stockpiles.
Now the US has to deal with 80,000 Iranian HESA Shahed 133 raining down on assets.
Liam Nissan™@theliamnissan
The reason we gotta spend $4 million per Patriot missile to shoot down a silly $20,000 Shahed drone is because Donald Trump refused to give Ukraine the Tomahawks necessary to take out the Shahed factories in Russia

@ForgotWeapons Grok is very very bad at image detection, it’s a GIGO machine.
English
It's one thing when people fabricate fake historical photos with AI because they put zero value on truth instead of clicks. But it's another whole issue when people depend on AI to tell them if things are real. AI does not know. Here is Grok insisting the real image is fake.

This is a krytron, a high-speed trigger switch historically used in nuclear weaponry to control the timing of detonation circuits. It’s an ultra fast, gas-filled tube that works by using a small electrical trigger to ionize gas inside, which instantly allows a much larger current to flow. The ability to switch high currents almost instantly is what makes it useful in systems where extremely precise timing is critical. Some krytrons contain a small amount of radioactive material (like Nickel-63 or krypton-85) to help the gas ionize more reliably.
Krytrons were developed in the early 1950s and used primarily through the 1970s, especially during the Cold War. In nuclear weapons, they were part of firing circuits that required multiple electrical pulses to occur at almost exactly the same moment. They were also employed in scientific and industrial applications such as pulsed lasers and high-speed photography.
Legally, krytrons are heavily controlled under export regulations like the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). They are legal to own in the U.S., but exporting them internationally without proper authorization is strictly prohibited.☢️

@naftasux @ConflictAlarm @vcdgf555 The missile has to be able to see the plane to launch therefore the plane can see the missile when it launches.

There is a lot of discussion surrounding the supposed F-35 video today picking up the same level of brightness from the airframe as the exhaust.
Wanted to compare with some old attempted shootdown video screenshots from the Houthis using Iranian-provided equipment.

Today, an administrative immigration judge ordered the deportation of Rafael Rubio, a City Council employee.
This is an affront to justice. A dedicated public servant with legal authorization to remain in the country, Rafael showed up for a routine immigration appointment and, despite following the rules, he was detained and has now been held for months.
He should be immediately released.

@ConflictAlarm @vcdgf555 You f’n moron, every US aircraft has equipment to detect IR launches against them.
English
@vcdgf555 Same IR vulnerability. The F-35's RWR picks up nothing because there's no radar to detect:

Conflict Alarm@ConflictAlarm
Iran claims it hit the U.S. F-35 using a passive infrared tracking system that gives off no radar signal. The F-35's stealth is designed to evade radar, not heat-seeking systems that track engine exhaust. The jet's radar warning receivers would have given the pilot zero alert before impact. CENTCOM confirmed the emergency landing but has not confirmed Iranian fire as the cause. If Iran used a Project 358-type loitering IR missile, similar systems already forced F-35s into evasive action over Yemen against the Houthis.

@TomcatJunkie I seriously doubt maintenance on a radial is in anyway cheaper than a turbine anymore.

Okay this is cool… but can someone smarter than me explain why (other than current deployment and production numbers) the Skyraider II couldn’t be doing the same job, for less money, and less of a footprint on the ground?

"The A-10 Warhog is now in the fight across the southern flank, hunting and KILLING fast attack water craft in the Strait of Hormuz."

"It ain´t over till its over..." (and this certainly applies to helicopter flying: as one pilot said to me once "we´re only relaxed when the rotors stop spinning")
Here, a H130 has a dynamic rollover while attempting to land in a field near Pearl Beach, Michigan, on June 22, 2025. All four on board were not injured.
More info here by "Heliflight page"
"Pilot planned to land near a restaurant for lunch by the pilot with three passengers. He over flew the
landing area and then set up for a “gradual and slow” approach.
When the helicopter touched down, he felt the tail drop backwards. The pilot stated that he compensated by adding collective and forward cyclic which inadvertently induced a dynamic rollover.
He added that a gusty tailwind prevailed at the time of the landing. The helicopter sustained damage to the main rotor blades, the main rotor transmission mount, fuselage, and horizontal stabilizers.
The pilot reported that there were no mechanical malfunctions or failures associated with the helicopter before the accident.
Probable Cause and Findings
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be: The pilot’s failure to maintain control of the helicopter during landing".

@DocStrangelove2 Makes himself happy. He’s got no military or law enforcement experience. Has he ever faced a barrelled weapon in anger, or does he just play with targets. As a gunsmith can adjust that trigger pull to empty a revolver quickly, so what. Breaks records zzz 🥱

@yacineMTB If you’re conflating a feedback button to collect training data (that does not decrement Like count) with a Reddit downvote button, you are just looking for a reason to be mad about something.

If they actually do this, it is going to turn the website into reddit. They should never, ever, ever, ever do the dislike button.

Very excited for the dislike button. Especially since X is such a positive, uplifting platform full of sane people and little to no bots. I literally can’t imagine it going wrong.
