5 suspects arrested and charged under their explosives act and with terrorism charges...recently released on bail. 😮 BBC NewsRAF Fairford suspects released on bail, head of counter-t...Laurence Taylor says the five men arrested on Sunday are still under investigation as police consider multiple lines of inquiry, including the possible involvement of a foreign state.

The Guppy's off road ability (gravel kit) disappeared when they went from JT8D's to the CFM engines with the classic. I can't imagine the LEAPs, which are even lower, will work out.

I think more cargo capable tankers for a dual role to give TACC options and give our tactical airlift fleet a reprieve would be a win. Whether it be more KC-46s or bigger (KC-Z) based 777 or 330 MRTTs airframes to pack in some serious cargo. But, I also don't know how much of our cargo is outsized vs palletized/ULD so that is a giant assumption.

Maybe the superbug is better than the Viper or 5EX, but in the world we live in that production line is done. So the only new build options are the OA-1K, F-35, F-16V, or F-15EX. Also, not seeing how an upgraded Viper with conformals and 2-3 bags would be fuel limited compared to an F/A-18E/F.

Why Superbugs over a Block 70/72 Viper or Eagle EX?

Since I had no idea what you are talking about, after some slight googling it appears this is the situation: https://www.twz.com/news-features/drone-sightings-are-happening-at-diego-garcia-americas-remote-strategic-island-outpost

Back to Iran with Jim Mattis. Recorded in March but this is the first I've seen it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Yrs7aMUi5A

Why would he answer anything? Dude has his pardon...saying ANYTHING would only jeopardize that possibly lead to perjury. This was just a dog and pony show to make media clips. Anyone believing he was gonna say anything of substance, well I have an ocean front house in Wichita to sell you.

The Guard and Reserves are gonna have a huge retention problem, IMO. Everyone I know who is retirement eligible is punching the second they can. It was already a funky math problem to get the numbers to work in the favor of military when compared to current airline pay but, add in never ending deployments in even worse conditions than before with a much higher risk factor in an unpopular conflict with unknown objectives... Yea, I think most people would rather risk being furloughed than that. And, anecdotally, a lot of my buddies leaving AD aren't even trying for ANG/AFRC jobs. Just straight cut to the airlines.

Not sure why the B-21 needs it's own UPT program. Why not just continue to send (high speed) prior-rated people to UPT like normal and then drop airframes from?
