Protesters suddenly rush the mall, fearing a police charge. And then it seems to be a false alarm for now. Still, are we in for another night of Mall Mayhem? MTR Corp own/manage this mall, given their closing down the subway today, they are unlikely to hinder…

Russian Ministry of Defense: Nuclear submarines Tula and Yuri Dolgoruky launched ballistic missiles Sineva and Bulava from the polar region of the Arctic Ocean and the Barents Sea https://t.co/NiwVoqY5Oc https://t.co/DAaGKuKqun

🚀✈️ Ansarollah unveils 2 air defense system built locally, and 2 others will be unveiled soon. One of the AD systems is Fater 1 which was used to shoot down the US drone over Yemen a week ago. This system has the ability to deal with F-16 F-15 Miraj and Typhoon

So as @Obs_IL pointed out, the apparently ‘brand-new’ ‘made in Yemen’ Houthi air defence missile is actually just a 3M9 missile from the Russian 2K12 Kub SAM system that’s just been tweaked for looks & perhaps a bit more range? Hardly a unique original..…

NEW: the Royal Navy has confirmed that HMS Defender will join the efforts to protect shipping in the Gulf as part of the International Maritime Security Construct. She’s therefore been reassigned from her intended deployment to the Asia-Pacific region. She’s…

This will bring the RN’s commitment to the Gulf to: -HMS Duncan (will be replaced by Defender)🔷 -HMS Montrose (currently in maintenance) 🔷 -RFA Wave Knight 🔷 -RFA Cardigan Bay 🔷 -4 MCMVs 🔷 -HMS Defender 🔶 -HMS Kent 🔶 🔷 denotes in the region 🔶 denotes en route

What this means is, for a short period of time (a handover will take place), there are going to be 10 UK military vessels (both RN and RFA) committed to protecting shipping in the Gulf. I know we don’t have any ships whatsoever because they’re all broken…

I should add the caveat that Kent will probably arrive a tiny bit before Defender, and Duncan may leave as soon as Kent gets there (depending on how keen London is to get her back) Lots will depend on Suez transit slots etc.
