Well shit, things are now even #escalating between #south and #north #korea , with #northkorea sending 180 #military #aircraft https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/s.. I didn't even know that #northkorea had so many #aircraft - where the hell did they even get them?
Very cool #vtol #design from #tomstanton https://youtube.com/watch?v=XPXN0QejqM0 Definitely inspiring me to look at #printing my own #aircraft once I get my 3D #printer ...
#china creating more #aircraft #carriers , making the #chinese #pla #navy the #largest #multicarrier #force https://www.zerohedge.com/military/china.. I'm sure these will all be used for #peaceful purposes in #taiwan and the #southchinasea and there *is absolutely nothing to worry about.*
The recent #crash of the #chinaeastern #boeing #aircraft is very weird: https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/a.. As the #article #suggest , it's incredibly *hard* to accidentally get the #plane to do this. It didn't look like the #plane had broken up, it should in theory #glide ... Let's see what we find out from the #blackbox .
Looks like a #chinaeastern #boeing #aircraft lost #power mid- #flight and went into a #nosedive https://www.zerohedge.com/economics/chin.. My guess is we'll never learn of an #official #reason - but I wouldn't be #surprised if it's from poor #maintenance and #corruption . As we've seen with #russia 's #military , corruption directly #correlates with lives lost as #critical #equipment #fails .
So the #us were bouncing #ideas about the #polish #fighterjet #aircraft being used in #ukraine - #poland #accepted the #idea and now the #us are backing out: https://youtube.com/watch?v=4qrt7u804cQ This does not look like #nato #cooperation ... The #ukrainians desperately need those #aircraft and the #us will do anything it can to stall them.
#china 's #ccp is not stepping down pressure on #taiwan - sending *even more* #pla #jets https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/c.. I feel as though the #us could #sell #taiwan anti- #aircraft #military #equipment at a deep #discount to enable them to #defend themselves against the #chinese #threat ...
Interesting, the #us appear to be bringing back old #military #aircraft into #active #duty due to some #capability they had that new #planes do not provide: https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/stunni.. In this case it's the #lockheed F-117 #nighthawk - a low #production #stealth #fighter that apparently is well #designed to #avoid #radar and release #missiles into #targets ... The #timing is very interesting.
Oops, look like a #us #soldier took a #photo of #topsecret #military #aircraft #technology and posted it to #china controlled #tiktok https://warisboring.com/secret-military-.. Apparently it might be the X-47: https://www.rumblerum.com/northrop-grumm..
This is a follow up story for the #airbus A350 that appears to be suffering from early #fuselage #degradation https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/news/qat.. #qatarairways has grounded 13 #aircraft whilst it repairs them and refuses to buy anymore until the problem is fixed.
