Un Rafale équipé de roquettes guidées laser aperçu à Istres. Les essais ont donc enfin démarré. Ici une nacelle Thalès JF12, donc 24 roquettes 68mm au total. Une corde de plus à l'arc du Rafale, la chasse au Shahed est OUVERTE !

@SereneV_c @zaphod58 Panther is the pinnacle of senior leadership getting people into a room saying "HQ has ordered us to come up with a cool 'unofficial' name for the F-35" and Panther was the safest, by-committee option they came up with

@zaphod58 I have to call it something, I’ll call it a Lightning, but I usually just say F-35. Panther is lame.

It feels like very little has an original name these days. everything is a call-back, a nostalgia hit, a reference. The Cheyenne never even entered service.
U.S. Army@USArmy

Breaking: The U.S. Army has officially named its next-generation MV-75 Future Long Range Assault Aircraft the "Cheyenne II." Announced today at the Army Aviation Association of America’s annual conference, this advanced aircraft marks a new era in technology and capability."

Any good ideas? Oh and I am very ground minded so naval campaigns might be a good addition.

#miltwitter I need a hand with something. I am writing a piece about failure and success in war. I need an example of a war where the side initiating simply failed to achieve their objectives. (Yes I can think of a current example but as that is not over I won't be using that)...

@RealAirPower1 Can't find a photo, but I remember a Yeovilton International Air Day which had a (iirc) British Army Wildcat covered from top to bottom, each rotor blade, entire cabin and canopy, the whole body was totally wrapped up. Bizarre decision for an airshow, perhaps.

Soviet whirlybirds in Afghanistan. The Mi-24 closest to the camera, an early Hind-C variant, is decked out in a full-body suit with custom-tailored covers for the cockpit, cabin, and engine intakes. You rarely see this level of pampering in the West, but this Hind was clearly living the high life.

NSPA intends to award this contract to Leonardo UK. Leonard UK is currently conducting the Portuguese Navy's Lynx MLU, having delivered 4 of the 5 aircraft. Companies now have 10 calender days to send evidence to NSPA to show that they can also meet the requirements.

The Portuguese Navy will spend up to 5 million euros to modernize the IFF (Identification Friend or Foe) of its Lynx MK95A helicopters. The current Mode 4 will be replaced by the Mode 5 across 2025 and 2026.

Why did the French readily embrace rugby but not cricket? We missed an opportunity there - imagine a Bordeaux or two at lunch, world class cuisine, a cheese board for the ages, pastries at tea & an attitude towards everything that it shouldn’t be taken too seriously. 🧀🍷🥐

UK Government's claim that everything is going to be fine with food supplies in this country is false and irresponsible. A national emergency is coming, and it requires getting ahead of the issues and working together as a country. Waiting until the shit hits the fan won't work.

@EGutierrezOK @Tezca357 @kennardmatt In fact, the Falkland Islands currently have a population of over 3,500 people. No Argentine permission or visa is required due to having no connection or relation to Argentina.

@samwiseaviation @Tezca357 @kennardmatt Actualmente Malvinas no tiene población .Cualqueira de las dos interpretaciones puede ser valida: O hay un gran grupo de turistas en territorio argentino con su permiso vencido o ilegales sin haber gestionado su visado con el gobierno argentino.
