6 B-2s en route to Guam apparently

The B-2s weren’t present on recent imagery.

Iran's leader has just claimed US military action 'will be met with irreparable harm' Very bold, but questionable, what could they do to attack the US? Does he mean terrorism? Probably just posturing, but we’ll see to what extent they damage US bases in the region with missiles if it kicks off. A r...

Worth adding to that list of assets the air wing for one carrier, with another heading that way As per USNI fleet tracker, USS Nimitz with CSG11, Carrier air wing 17 with the following squadrons: The “Fighting Redcocks” of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 22 – F/A-18F – from Naval Air Station Lemoore,...

In summary then, USAF units that are thought to be in the region, or heading there are: 389thFS F-15E 391stFS F-15E 494thFS F-15E 31stFW F-16CM 388thFW F-35A 493rdFS F-35A 134th FS F-35A? are the b2s and b52s still based at Deigo garcia? I was under the impression the six B-2s hadn’t returned since...

Further to Nashwa's post, I've just seen this on X. Looks like a good account.

Rumblings on the grape vine of an F-22 and F-35 deployment to the middle east started today, now with KC-135 GOLD24 heading NE out of Salt Lake City, it seems likely. Again another slightly worrying sign, here’s to hoping it’s only intimidation/precautionary positioning, but Trumps been doing a lot...

but said the UK could play a military role defending Israel from ongoing Iranian attacks. The final sentence from Rachel says a lot. wouldn’t be the first time as RAF Typhoons downed 3 drones launched by Iran during their April 2024 attack on Israel. German chancellor has said that Iran should not ...

Not seen any solid proof of those alleged F-35I downing so will dismiss until evidence comes to light.

Footage now doing the round of two F-14s being destroyed on the ground but debate going on as to whether they are mock-ups or grounded airframes.

Somewhat surprised by this development. A seismic shift has occurred in the Trump administration’s new defense spending plan that is just emerging when it comes to the USAF’s airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) predicament. The service’s E-3 Sentry Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) ...

Crikey that’s a lot of hits. Even if it’s not totally destroyed, a drone exploding anywhere on an aircraft is g...

Ah good, cheers!

. Possibly at least two or three more squadrons of ‘off the shelf’ interceptors (F-15Cs?) to take out any potential Russian bombers. Though if it’s got to that stage God help us all. Terrible idea I’m afraid, Cs are fatigued and at the end of their life. Why go to the effort of introducing a “new” ...
