A force of Chin and PDF rebels ambushed a junta supply convoy in the Magway's Minbu area today and scored some nice loot
A seemingly newly produced batch of 28 120MM MLRS rockets were captured alongside mortars and the weaponry of the convoys escorts
As the Junta keeps engaging in counteroffensives they stretch out their supply lines and spread their manpower thin
This has led to an increase in rebel formations raiding supply convoys required to supply the junta offensives

VFA-41 โBlack Acesโ F/A-18F Super Hornets are deployed with Carrier Air Wing 9 aboard USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) in the CENTCOM area.

The aircraft are shown armed with 4ร AIM-9X Sidewinder and 1ร AIM-120 AMRAAM for counter-drone mission.

The cost problem is obvious: without integrated APKWS II guided rockets, the Navy is forced to use ~$500k AIM-9X missiles against ~$20k Shahed drones, instead of using ~$20k APKWS II rockets.

A Ukrainian FP-1/2 drone hit Russiaโs Admiral Essen Project 11356 frigate at Novorossiysk naval base on May 23.
๐บ๐ฆ๐๐ท๐บ
Unfortunately it was not the "new" admiral Essen that was hit but rather the 1981 Krivak II ASW frigate Pytlivyy.
๐
The drone also appears to have hit the dock only damaging the vessel.
๐ท๐บ
Given the vessels age its probably net win for Russia.

Even with the new engine, UK and EU will still have veto powers over export.
