๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ- Images and footage of the Su-57D were released today by Rostec, Russia's state-owned defence and industrial conglomerate, offering the first public look at the new two-seat variant.

โžก๏ธ The Sukhoi Design Bureau has developed the aircraft, with the released imagery showing an enlarged cockpit section and a longer canopy. The concept of a two-seat Su-57 was previously explored under the joint Russian-Indian Fifth Generation Fighter Aircraft (FGFA) program in the 2010s, under which Russia's United Aircraft Corporation and India's Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) signed an agreement for joint development and production.

โžก๏ธ It is Russia's first aircraft designed with stealth technology and incorporates supermaneuverability, supercruise, integrated avionics, and a large payload capacity. The US has indicated it will become nuclear-capable via a forthcoming missile similar to the Kinzhal. The aircraft is intended to succeed the MiG-29 and Su-27 in Russian service and has been marketed for export.

โžก๏ธ Alrowaiei stressed that Bahrain, the UAE, and their Gulf neighbors have faced repeated attacks throughout the conflict, adding that the escalatory nature of these strikes reflects a deliberate approach aimed at undermining regional stability and confidence in the security of the region.

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ- Donald Trump has posted on his X account for the first time in 78 days (2.5 months), just to attack Thomas Massie:
Horrible Congressman Thomas Massie put out an old Endorsement, from many years ago, of him by me long before I found out that he was the Worst Congressman in the History of our Country. I endorsed Ed Gallrein, a true American Patriot, which Massie knows full well, so the statement that he put out is fraudulent, just like HE is fraudulent. WITHDRAW YOUR FAKE STATEMENT, MASSIE, RIGHT NOW! President DONALD J. TRUMP

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ- The resolution will now proceed to a full Senate vote. If it passes there, it moves to the House of Representatives, where it would need to pass as well.

โžก๏ธ If both chambers pass it, it then goes to Donald Trump, who would almost certainly veto it given his position on the Iran conflict.

โžก๏ธ To override a presidential veto, both the Senate and the House would need a two-thirds majority, a very high bar that would require a significant number of Republicans to break with Trump, which is considered unlikely given the current political climate.
