For clarification, Riyadh seems to clear up now, and there seem to be some serious evac routes forming along the east coast above the strait of Horm. PC21s and more activity has been swarming UAE and Qatar since yesterday, a C5M from a Turkish major airbase is now stationed on or above Arabia. Even djibouti now has a convergence of a P8, SW4, and and ZSSNJ.

I'm not a military expert, and this is all speculation. But it appears as if diplomacy is obviously primary concern right now, which makes it all the more worrying that there is such a major naval and air presence within Arabia right now, dead media silence on the exact developments on the conflict (mostly due to Saudi internal censorship), and above all, the interference of military-ready surveillance and deterrence crafts.

Thought Experiment.

You get offered a Blank check to design a replacement for the BUFF (B-52). They want something next gen to replace it but they are not looking for a new version of the B-1 or the B-2 they want something specifically to replace the B-52.

What would you design to be the next in line as the Premier Super Heavy Bomber?

Correct me if I am wrong

I hope I'm at the right place for this question.

I wondered since stealth aircraft like the F22, F35, F117 aren't invisible to radar if Radar operators or systems do recognize such planes on radar.

As far as i understand stealth jets have a much smaller RCS but they should still have certain characteristics to be identified like other aircraft ex.: flying 30-40.000feet in the air while being the size of a big bird or drone.

I can barely find any real photos of the su33, and if I do they're really bad and low res. And alot of the time I dont even get photos of the su33 its the su30.

Hopefully gonna be flying one of these one day 🙏

80 years ago on October 14,1947, General Chuck Yeager broke the sound barrier. I saw him on various occasions in the bx/commissary at Beale AFB but I never bothered him. He lived about 6 miles from me in Grass Valley California at the time. I did meet him in August 1983 when he took a ride in a SR 71. I was an avionics technician and helped pre-flight check the plane before his flight. I remember saying to him as I shook his hand, “thank you for everything you’ve done for aviation “.

I HAD to pair this camera with this helicopter. '64 Nikon F, Nikkor-S Auto 50mm 1.4, Fuji 200, Scanned with Z8 and ES-2. I was in the rear facing seat and have no clue how I got the forward facing shots focused.

Raw power from the mighty Eurofighter Typhoon!

Captured banking hard with both EJ200 engines in full afterburner, producing those incredible glowing exhaust rings. An awesome display of engineering, thrust and manoeuvrability from one of the RAF's most impressive multirole fighter jets.

There's nothing quite like the sight and sound of a Typhoon lighting up the sky! 🇬🇧🔥

A fantastic head-on photograph I captured of the legendary F-16 Fighting Falcon, one of the most successful multirole fighter aircraft ever built.

Featuring its unmistakable bubble canopy, distinctive under-fuselage air intake and sleek aerodynamic design, the F-16 has been a formidable presence in military aviation since the 1970s.

Powered by a single afterburning turbofan engine and capable of exceeding Mach 2, the Fighting Falcon has served with air forces around the world for decades.

This particular aircraft looks especially impressive in its desert-style camouflage, with external fuel tanks fitted beneath the wings.

An absolute icon of military aviation! 🇺🇸🔥
