Most likely benign, the drone was near the historic Akershus fortress in central Oslo that still houses several military and government offices, which in turn is just next to one of the cruise ship docks (lots of tourists). Still, glad the police followed up!

Some of this looks like ideas that probably have been floating around the DoD for a while, such as capability vs project based funding - what here do you consider the most dramatic/radical?

Captain Ramius after he realizes he’s misled his XO about the ability to drive state to state in America…

Agreed - it’s really dangerous to generalize from specifics! For one thing, unmanned systems have likely become far more important in this conflict due to neither U nor R having an effective SEAD/DEAD-capability, dramatically reducing the overall effectiveness of “traditional” air power

Do we believe the Navy will voluntarily tie itself to the same prime contractor as the Air Force...?

The F-35 reporting is a tad overheated. Portugal didn't scrap their purchase, they never formally agreed to buy the F-35 even if that was the plan. The defense minister said they need to consider the best options, and touched on the potential unreliability of the US ally. As for other countries...

Third gov-to-gov deal for the Norwegian Defence Materiel Agency!

Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people.

Be strong, be brave, be fearless.
You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy.

We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

Zelenskyy is my hero. A true anti-fascist. A man with more bravery and dignity in his other finger then most of his detractors will encounter in their lifetime

Well, we used them for what they were actually built for - high-level bomber interception - and not low-level strike…!

Again, not sure what you are referring to, and I’ve been involved with the Norwegian side of the program since 2012. There are no separate contracts, no discounts - partners buy on USG terms, FMS on FMS terms (which explicitly forbid discounts, must be done at cost plus)

Bit confused on what you are referring to. Number of platforms sold has steadily increased in recent years. They are sold on capability and potential for upgrades. Maintenance and spares are important, but the the main sales pitch

The F-35 program rolls on just fine. The price of operating the jet for the US has little to do with partners, and everything to do with how the US organizes its own maintenance and operations

Ditto @claudmajor.bsky.social - such a peace would prolong the suffering and danger Ukraine, and also for Europe at large...!

Genuine question - which are these 19 MBT-designs? I count 4 main ones - Challenger, Leclerc, Ariete, Leo 2 (5 if you count Altay), a smattering of ex-Soviet, and a few imports (M1, K2). Standardization is good, but remember that also leads to significant industry consolidation.

Det farlige er at alle som av ren opportunisme kaster seg på den delen av amerikansk retorikk som de liker er med på å ufarliggjøre og legitimere helheten…

No windows - a P-8 fuselage?

Right!? That in itself is actually part of why it’s my comfort show - the relief that something this good actually can exist…!

Is he referring to the magnetic catapults on the Ford class? Last I heard they were working fine… and don’t lift anything…

Help repost?! Long odds, but hoping to reach anyone involved in French animal rescue organizations active in Martinique? Whenever we travel, we often end up supporting local animal charities, and today we met this fellow, abandoned in the middle of the national park, who we really want to help!

Mener barn overdiagnostiseres og overbehandles Overlege Henriette K. Sandven med ADHD-brannfakkel

Se hva du fikk meg til å gjøre -

Minst 20 ting som Sandven kunne snakket om, i stedet for å sammenlikne ADHD-medisin med å drikke bort angst. Kanskje 30. Kanskje 40. Vi får se hvor lenge jeg gidder

Takk for grundig tråd! Blir så provosert av mange fra norsk helsevesen som uttaler seg om ADHD, som i praksis «gaslighter» alle som har fått diagnosen - er vi som er problemet, og ikke at mange leger tilsynelatende nekter å akseptere at deres forståelse av ADHD er fullstendig utdatert

Absolutt verdt det! Og bøkene også for den del!

Ikke nyheter, men perfekt virkelighetsflukt 😝

Mitt standardsvar på det spørsmålet: har du sett The Expanse?

Støttes - som en som ofte må ut og forsvare offentlig pengebruk det bekymringsfullt hvor lettvint og overfladisk mye av kritikken faktisk er. Det fordummer debatten og gjør det vanskeligere for oss som samfunn å ta tak i komplekse utfordringer
