Off Topic - "Unpredictable" is one of those Youtube channels that produces documentaries with quality VASTLY superior to a lot of professional companies with 100 times more budget. Their latest video concerns the 2001 Anthrax attacks in the US on the wake of 9/11. Don´t forget to like and subscribe them, the more of you, the more they can produce. (full link on the comments) Their work on graphics, narration, the way the story is told and structured... this is old school film making at its best. As a note, during the attacks, me and me mates on high school began dropping flour at random on some lockers (nobody believed it was Anthrax, even though we mentioned it loud and clear rumors of attacks here, for everyone to hear - We were young and dumb: I thought you could make a living working for the MTV Jackass show (and I wasn´t one of the worse students)

This looked like a ghost plane... " 👻 Ryanair B-737 go around on a very foggy Birmingham, by Kevin from Airport Action, a month ago (I imagine the contrast in the passengers, who were arriving from a much sunnier Spain) (Full video in HD and replay in the comments). Don´t forget to follow and subscribe to them on YouTube - the more subscribers, the more they can produce these videos.

Iran is losing so bad they shot 2 F35s, depleted US defenses in 2 weeks, have dozens of nations trying to negotiate with them on the side, are dictating who does or doesn’t pass the strait of Hormuz, are holding the global oil trade hostage, and the US eased sanctions on them.

> Oil tanker companies paying $2 million a ship to 🇮🇷 Iran for safe passage through Strait of Hormuz > 🇷🇺 Russia earning additional $500 million a day from oil spikes due to Iran War > Meanwhile the war is costing US Taxpayers’ $2 Billion a day 😭 Iran & Russia right now 🤣 —

Some doubt the F-35 video, here some clarifications: Q: Aircraft is not evading, no towed jammer or chaff/flares A: We don't know when the clip was taken. Iranian SAM systems usually have several missiles. Well possible that it used up its high energy kinematic state to evade to missiles prior to this last one. Afterburner engaged to some extend hits to it trying to regain kinetic energy.

The inevitable happend Such heavy damage on a F-35 unlikely to allow for controlled landing. Hence it was likely near the border regions that its Pilot was not captured... ➡️ Lockheed Martin, Stealth TM

IRAN JUST DEPLOYED A MISSILE THAT NO ONE ON EARTH CAN INTERCEPT For 70 years, missile defense was simple. You shoot it down before it hits. Iran just proved that is no longer possible. The Fattah-2 launched. Israel fired 10 interceptors. All 10 missed. The missile hit a fortified IDF command center. 7 senior officers dead. Here is why this changes everything. A hypersonic glide vehicle does NOT fly in a straight line. It goes to the edge of the atmosphere. Then it glides back down — changing direction, changing altitude, moving at Mach 15. That is roughly 18,000 km per hour. No radar in the world tracks that well enough to intercept it. Iron Dome — the most famous missile defense on earth — was built for this exact threat. It failed. And Iran is already testing Fattah-3, which launches 15 separate warheads from ONE missile. Iron Dome cannot track 15 targets coming at Mach 15 simultaneously. Israel spent $20 billion building a defense system. Iran just made it obsolete. Oil hit $126 per barrel this week because of exactly this threat. If you think this stays in the Middle East, you haven't been paying attention.
