This will be repeated across the country as all Army Reserve helicopter assets are shut down inside a year. Hopefully these experienced crews will find a place somewhere in Army aviation. gazette.com/2025/09/22/c...

Hopefully one day it will actually be able to replace the VH-3D which has been in service since 1976. defence-blog.com/sikorsky-awa...

Two RIVET JOINT aircraft are operating in Europe this morning. JAKE17, RC-135V is surveiling the Ukrainian border and Kaliningrad. RRR7222, RC-135W is heading east through Germany.

Trump again just implied that the MMR vaccine causes autism. Many studies have shown that there is no relationship between MMR vaccine and the development of autism. This one followed every single child born in Denmark from 1991 through 1998 (n=537,303). There was no association.

I'll believe it when I see it. When is the last time Boeing produced a ready to go aircraft on time? Its civilian programs suffered from delays. The KC-46 and the T-7 both delayed due to production issues. Add possible strike effects... www.defensenews.com/air/2025/09/...

The carrier "war". China very close to full capability with its new carrier, India increasing its capabilities and Japan joining the US in adding F-35Bs to its helicopter carriers. news.usni.org/2025/09/22/c...

Radia announces plans for the largest (by volume) aircraft ever built. The WindRunner, which could carry wind turbine blades as a civilian aircraft has obvious military potential. It's advertised to be able to carry 6 CH-47s, or 4 MV-22s, or 4 F-35s. interestingengineering.com/military/mil...

👌 For the first time in history, GUR burned down two enemy Be-12 Chaika amphibious aircraft in Crimea. A Russian Mi-8 helicopter was also hit. ❗️Be-12 Chaika amphibious aircraft are equipped with expensive equipment for detecting and combating submarines.

A US Navy P-8A out of Sigonella is surveiling the Black Sea. The P-8A refueled over Romania airspace before beginning the mission.

BLKCAT6 MQ-4C out of Sigonella is surveiling the eastern Med.

JAKE17 Rivet Joint RC-136V ISR aircraft is returning to Mildenhall after surveilling the russian and Belarus border.

⚡️For first time, Ukraine hits 2 Russian amphibious aircraft in occupied Crimea, intelligence claims. The Soviet-designed Be-12 Chayka (NATO reporting name Mail) is an anti-submarine amphibious aircraft equipped with high-value systems used for detecting and engaging submarines.

P-8As doing the work on the Syrian coast and off Kaliningrad in the Baltic Sea.

RC-135S Cobra Ball missile surveillance aircraft is out of Okinawa heading northeast. I've circled their usual surveillance pattern area.

September 20, 2025: Ukraine’s Air Force engaged during a massive Russian strike. The video shows SAM systems, mobile firing groups, and, most notably, Ukrainian F-16 pilots in action. The majority of downed Kh-101 missiles today were taken out by Ukraine's Fighting Falcons.

There are no National Guard deployed in Memphis: Trump: We are getting calls over the internet, we are getting statements: Sir, thank you so much. I live in Memphis, it is so beautiful. So many people outside. Everybody is cheering the soldiers.

During a Japanese attack on Bougainville in 1944, Seabee E.C. Scarborough searched his foxhole for more ammo. He found and opened a package of gun clips that contained a slip of paper upon which was printed "Inspected by Mrs. Bernice Scarborough"...his wife. #SeaStorySaturday

A very quick and crudely drawn map in QGIS, just to illustrate the clearest contrails and their locations. Also, a current map showing current vessel locations around Novaya Zemlya. Of note, Teriberka left Pankovo in the last few hours.

A Ukrainian drone strike hit an ammunition depot belonging to Russia’s 17th Tank Regiment near Bohdanivka, Luhansk region. Ammo detonations lasted all day, with firefighting efforts only beginning by evening. Five vehicles, likely used for transport, were also destroyed.

GOP Rep. Thomas Massie told the House Judiciary Committee that the FBI has the names of at least 20 people tied to Jeffrey Epstein, including prominent figures in the music industry, finance, politics and banking.

The FBI is preparing to label transgender people as “violent extremists” in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s murder: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/fbi-readie...

Another lucky break in the clouds, which again reveals all aircraft associated with the Burevestnik test program remain at Rogachevo. Today has also seen Teriberka return to Pankovo and vessels Geolog Pechkurov & Pomor go north from Matochkin Shar. It looks a lot like an upcoming test attempt.

US Navy P-8A is operating north of Murmansk in the Barents Sea. Keeping an eye on Zapad 2025.

US Navy MQ-4C 169804 is surveiling the Libyan coastline after making a long trip from the Persian Gulf. They sometimes switch out aircraft so I wouldn't be surprised to see them end up at Sigonella.

JAKE17 Rivet Joint ISR aircraft is returning to Mildenhall after completing their mission surveiling the Ukrainian border and circling Kaliningrad.

Two P-8As, one from Norway and one from the US surveiling the area on the northern Norwegian coast over the Barents Sea.

It's a team effort over the Black Sea. USAF RQ-4B FORTE10 is working at 53,000 feet and a US Navy P-8A is surveiling the area at 31,000 feet. Rare to have both platforms here at the same time .

US Navy MQ-4C 169804 is operating in the Persian Gulf, concentrating their efforts close to Siri island.

FORTE10 RQ-4B is beginning its mission in the Black Sea. Would expect it to cover the entire area left and right. Will check in later to see their progress.

P-8A out of Reykjavik is extremely interested in something off the coast of Kaliningrad. They're in a tight low altitude pattern (currently 1500 feet).

US Navy P-8A still active over the Black Sea.

US Navy P-8A out of Sigonella is operating over the Black Sea today. Once over the target area the P-8A will deploy their AN/APS-154 Advanced Airborne Sensor (AAS) Pod. Extending the pod away from the aircraft gives them better coverage for Intel gathering.

"This type of language spurs on depraved people, deranged people who who take that as a cue." Right, Speaker Johnson?

MQ-4C, 169661 is operating in the Persian Gulf.

US Navy P-8A has been operating south of Puerto Rico for over 5 hours. The aircraft was off radar for most of the mission
