What the Hell Happened with the Rescue of the F-15E WSO in Iran? https://sonar21.com/what-the-hell-happened-with-the-rescue-of-the-f-15e-wso-in-iran/

Turn

Breathing life in open thought,
Thinging round a concept,
Double-check if balance sought:
Synching whole a mindset.

Thinking wise to brace a storm,
Grasping words entrained,
Crossing straight to bear a norm:
Modern state of sane.

Trendy currents wave in twos,
Crest and fall in place.
Tracking spectrums hitherto;
Pairs abound for grace.

Choices! Choices! What to do?
Calls of less or more.
Echoes past may rendezvous
Cries for peace, not war.

Fogs of darkness masking light;
Casts of fraud or fact.
Paths to follow - left or right;
Patterns do protract.

Fluxing fields if dual by force;
Vexing splits to voice:
Devil’s lie fools truth from Source;
Script to flip, rejoiced!

Might which giveth take away,
Glories come & go;
Games get set and roles replay:
Cosmic to-and-fro.

Parts oppose time-tested old;
Stages face in time.
Ebbs & flows for ages old:
Spaces turn in mind.

Look how aggressively Russia moved itself towards NATO?

When the Soviet Union disappeared in 1991, so dId the rationale for the existence NATO.

Yet, they pushed eastward. And here we are.

On May 6 1968, Neil Armstrong, who would be the first man to walk on the moon, was training for the landing in the "Lunar Landing Research Vehicle" at Ellington Air Force Base.

This strange flying machine nicknamed the "flying bedstead" was built to simulate the moons one sixth gravity using a downward pointing jet engine and small peroxide thrusters for control.

Just five minutes into the flight a loss of helium pressure caused the attitude control thrusters to fail completely. The craft suddenly went out of control and began pitching uncontrollably.

At about two hundred feet above the ground Armstrong pulled the ejection handle. The zero zero ejection seat fired him clear of the vehicle.
Seconds later the LLRV slammed into the ground and exploded in a fireball.

Armstrong floated down under his parachute completely unharmed except for a bitten tongue. He was back at his desk later that same day.

This risky training device nearly killed the man who would become the first person to walk on the moon just fourteen months later. His calm decision and quick thinking in that moment helped prove he had the right stuff for Apollo 11.

🇮🇷 Iran’s army:

In recent hours, Iran targeted Al-Kharj Base and Al-Adairy Camp using Arash-2 strike drones.

Due to the deployment of ground units, special forces, and the “Night Stalkers” helicopter unit, Al-Adairy Camp—located north of Kuwait—has played a key role in recent enemy operations in southern Isfahan. The “Night Stalkers” unit was formed after the U.S. defeat in Operation Eagle Claw (Tabas).

The Strait would be jointly administered with Oman as a token of appreciation for their mediation efforts (‘being a good neighbour’) and for geographical reasons. – NYT
