⚡🇷🇺 The first two-seat Su-57D has made its maiden flight earlier today.
The fighter thus becomes the second "5th gen" fighter, along China's J-20S, capable of taking a second crewman.
Having a crew of two reduces cognitive load for the pilot and is typically used for complex missions such as air-to-ground strike, reconnaissance missions.
This is also a way to allow better coordination with a drone wingman, eventually.
The US has yet to move in that direction for their F-35 and newer stealth fighters and appears to bet in AI integration to help the pilot.

⚡️🇺🇸 Primaries are taking place across multiple U.S. states today, with major attention focused on Kentucky where anti Trump Republican Representative Thomas Massie is facing Trump backed challenger Ed Gallrein. Trump has repeatedly attacked Massie in recent months over his opposition to Israel and support for the release of the Epstein files.
Analysts view the race as a major test of Trump’s influence over the Republican Party and the future direction of the conservative movement.
Other closely watched races today include Senate and governor primaries in Georgia and Alabama, along with House primaries in Pennsylvania and statewide races in Idaho and Oregon.

⚡️🇮🇱🇵🇸🇹🇷 Israeli naval commandos from the Shayetet 13 unit have completed the takeover of the Gaza flotilla, seizing the remaining boats, including the "Andros" and "Zephyro," the Israeli Foreign Ministry announced.
The operation resumed after an overnight pause. All 430 activists have been transferred to Israeli navy vessels and are now being taken to Israel, where they will be able to meet with their consular representatives.
Footage from the takeover shows commandos approaching boats, issuing instructions, and reassuring activists wearing life jackets.

⚡️🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷WSJ: Mediators and U.S. officials see little progress in ongoing negotiations between Washington and Tehran despite recent claims by U.S. President Trump that talks are advancing.
Iran continues to demand an end to hostilities, sanctions relief, reparations and a role in the management of the Strait of Hormuz, while resisting US demands related to its nuclear programme.
Sources report that the U.S. and Israel had been planning renewed strikes on Iran in the coming days, with strikes still possible as early as next week.

⚡🇱🇧🇱🇧 🇮🇱 Hezbollah has released their fifth and final batch of statements regarding new operations against Israeli forces today:
@wfwitness
In response to Israeli ceasefire violations and attacks on villages in southern Lebanon that caused civilian casualties, we engaged with an Israeli force that tried infiltrating the town of Haddatha with rockets and medium weapons resulting in the destruction of 2 Merkava tanks and multiple casualties among the IDF at 22:15 and clashes are still ongoing by the time of issuing this statement.
We also targeted three gatherings of Israeli soldiers and vehicles, two of which in Bayada at 20:45 and 21:45 with rocket barrages and the third operation occurring in Rashaf at 17:30 with an attack drone.

⚡️🇺🇸🇮🇷Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi cited U.S. Congressional records on aircraft losses as evidence that Iranian air defence managed to strike down a U.S. F-35.
However, the records indicate that the fighter jet was damaged rather than shot down.

⚡️🇱🇧🇮🇱 The Islamic Health Authority Civil Defense in Nabatieh has called on residents to evacuate the city following heightened security threats and recent warnings targeting the area.
In a recently issued statement, the organisation urged civilians to leave their homes and move to safer locations, while announcing the suspension of field relief operations inside high-risk areas due to the current security situation.
The group said it would continue carrying out humanitarian and relief duties "as conditions and capabilities allow", while closely monitoring developments on the ground.

⚡️🇺🇸🇺🇸 Reuters: The U.S. is planning to reduce the number of military forces earmarked for NATO operations during future crises.
the proposal is part of a broader Pentagon review linked to President Trump’s push for allies to assume greater responsibility for Europe’s defence and security, which has caused European officials to fear NATO’s rapid response capabilities.
The changes under discussion reportedly include reducing the number of U.S. troops assigned to NATO planning and limiting forces available for reinforcement in the event of conflict.
