🇺🇸 NAVAIR has released a RFI seeking sources capable of producing an extended range anti-radiation missile, capable of going beyond current missiles in Navy inventory. Production demand of 300 AURs per year is expected. Requirements are:
▶️ Ready within 2 years
▶️ Compatible with F-18 & F-35
▶️ Inertial navigation plus M-Code GPS required with anti-jam capability and alternative navigation
▶️ ability to engage air-to-air and air-to-ground targets
▶️ Robust ECCM capabilities to defeat enemy countermeasures, including chaff, flares, jamming and anti-ARM techniques.
▶️ Exportable configuration available or feasible
Full RFI in the image description.

RT @heatloss1986: The difference in complexity between a B-21 and a B-24 are massive. Additionally, in the 1980s, with about 5% GDP, we produced about 2,000 surface to air missiles per year.
Now most of our money goes to paying soldiers and VA benefits. If we went back to 5%, we could do it again. https://twitter.com/kiteandkeymedia/status/2023986081322983486#m

@Tstradesfx: Italy & UK want Saudi money. Japan does not want to change the work share allocations. The Saudis have nothing valuable to add to the program besides cash.

@blakebenson42 @heatloss1986: There will easily be 2000 F-35s delivered globally by the time production ceases.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Good thread on how the targets of possible US strikes on Iran likely extends far beyond their nuclear program. Degradation of their missile program will probably be the main focus. Not much juice left to squeeze on the nuclear program.

If you examine the current state of Iran’s nuclear program, the marginal utility of additional military strikes is substantially lower than it was in June 2025.

@DaveLeyerl92510: I would expect Castelion to offer it to this RFI. Navy has already got them working on air launched integration.

@polilog03l: Это ж не вчера было, даже после того, как они договорились о сдаче и вышли на 1ю точку, они там неделю или две сидели, ждали окна для выхода

🇺🇸 In other NAVAIR news, they have just declared Initial Operating Capability for GBU-53/B StormBreaker (SDB II) on the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet.
Limited limited early operational capability and combat employment was achieved last year against the Houthis in Yemen.
SDB II is a USAF lead program, with integration already achieved on F-15E and integration ongoing on the F-16 & F-35.
The Navy is also actively pursuing integration of SDB I on the F-18.

A new VA ruling may force our disabled veterans to choose between compensation or treatment. Not ideal, to say the least.
Quick thread on the responses to this so far and what you can do to voice your concern over the proposed change.

RT @OliLondonTV: 🚨EXCLUSIVE FOOTAGE:
Tucker Carlson’s lies unmasked after he is seen HUGGING Israeli Airport staff member and posing for photo-despite claiming he was ‘detained’ and ‘hauled’ off by security.
Carlson appeared in great spirits while getting the celebrity treatment in Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport VIP lounge- even posing for the photo with a staff member.
The fired Fox News host had claimed he was detained upon arrival in the country for an interview with U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee; and called it a “bizarre” experience.
“Men who identified themselves as airport security took our passports, hauled our executive producer into a side room and then demanded to know what we spoke to Ambassador Huckabee about.”
The new footage, obtained exclusively by @OliLondonTV, shows the complete opposite and exposes his false narrative that he spread in an attempt to smear Israel.
Carlson also said he had to flee the country immediately...

A video compilation showing the crews of Russian Kamov Ka-52M attack helicopters intercepting Ukrainian OWA-UAVs during recent attacks on Russian targets.
Allegedly with new 30mm programmable air-burst ammunition, fired from Ka-52's Shipunov 2A42 auto-cannon.
