"Now I could be wrong here but I think the most likely reason for moving F-35B's to Akrotiri is to give the Prime Minister and MoD options to join a US/Israeli strike on Iran. My reasoning: 1) F-35's are not necessary for the job at hand. There are 10x Typhoon's at Akrotiri and another 4x in Qatar they are capable of taking down drones and cruise missiles. There are now THAAD and PATRIOT systems in Jordan Kuwait and Saudi Arabia to deal with Ballistic missiles.

""They're not using TABOR callsigns which is typical when they're deploying for exercises" To clarify this - when deploying on operations as a CORONET flight receivers typically use TABOR or TREND when headed East. The deployment of F-15Es from Lakenheath were TABORs When they go for exercises they'll use their squadron callsign in this case the 495th are the Valkyries. Just to reiterate I don't know where they are going or why. Just that the tankers will land at Souda Bay in Crete (Chania). https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2023343499605590394"

"This is a really fantastic overview. Interesting to see the P-8 tracks since I spent quite a lot of time trying to follow what they were up to.

"The size of the Royal Navy depresses me. We ruled the seas for over [---] years we should at the very least have the third largest navy in the world. Should we have perhaps built replacements for HMS Ocean Something similar to Wasp-class operated F-35B from those and had a fleet of F-35C for Navy and Air Force Obviously I'm thinking in an ideal world where the MoD wasn't gutted and filled with procurement idiots. Damn that's crazy Anyways https://t.co/Mct87DFWxH Damn that's crazy Anyways https://t.co/Mct87DFWxH"

"I don't think it really makes sense to have a carrier the size of QE and PoW and restrict it to F-35B's. We could've had so many options for what we flew F-35C F/A-18 even a naval-version of the Typhoon or Tempest. The USMC have the right idea of operating them from smaller ships"

"I believed for years that Trump was telling the truth about his relationship with Epstein that he really wasnt involved in what was going on he disassociated himself with him etc. I dont believe that anymore If he was innocent he wouldnt be having tantrums like this. And he wouldnt have gone back on his promise to release the files. However I dont think its right that the released emails only seem to focus on Trump with smaller mentions of Andrew and Lord Mandelson. Theyre only releasing what damages their opponents which shows they dont actually give a shit about Epsteins victims After"

"I understand there is a desire to move away from American defence platforms but I don't think a business jet based replacement for the Rivet Joint is the best move The RAF plans to operate two platforms based on the Boeing [---]. The P-8A Poseidon MRA.1 based on the 737-800 and the E-7A Wedgetail AEW.1 based on the 737-700.

"#USAF United States Air Force - Africa Movements I've noticed a number of C-17 flights recently around West Africa. It's not an area I look at often but given the situation with the U.S. and Nigeria I decided to look a little futher into how many flights there have been and where they're going. Six U.S. Air Force C-17 Globemaster's have flown in the past week (since [--] November) to Tamale International Airport in Northern Ghana. All these flights go via Kotoka International Airport in Accra the capital of Ghana. Of these six flights five have used sequential mission codes from J103 to J107"

"I dont understand your point here So the literal threat of Russian invasion isnt realistic. Well yes of course it isnt. The only country who remotely has the capability to invade our country is the United States (and Somalians on a dinghy of course). The threat however of Russian drone attacks is clearly credible. Russian invasion of the Baltics or Poland or missile attacks are also realistic. All things we are NOT prepared for. So whats the point youre making here If the point is that the headline is click bait Id agree with you. But the subheading clearly outlines what the problem is. The"
