My first mechanical keyboard was a Das with browns, great keyboard

It looks like there were two entry points after all - visible on high-resolution imagery - that align with underground structures.

IDF has now posted a video claiming to describe what they struck at Shahrud:

Before/after low-resolution satellite imagery (via Copernicus Sentinel-2) of damage to support facility structures at Shahroud Space Center. The structure on the right side of the highlighted area was previously targeted by Israel in October 2024 and subsequently rebuilt.

FWIW I only found one entry point at Natanz, which would align with 2x GBU-57 per entry point like at Fordow.

With the GBU-57 there isn't much visible on the surface - see the high-resolution imagery from Fordow.

Some of the damage visible in the false color satellite imagery was shown in an IDF video yesterday.

new satellite imagery (from this morning) of Russia's Engles Air Base, which was hit by Ukrainian drones a day earlier. Craters and destroyed buildings are visible. Images 1-3 from March 21; Image 4 from Dec. 2024. By Maxar Technologies.

New scoop based on leak docs by the @washingtonpost.com
shows how Bayraktar delivered at least 6 TB-2 armed #drones to the SAF in #Sudan in 2024. Here's our confirmation of TB-2 drones seen at Atbara airbase on satellite imagery from February 2025 www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...

USGS error: USGS is aware of issues with some map areas at certain zoom levels and is working on a solution.

USGS breaking already. This is probably related to the Gulf of Tomfoolery.

OSINT comes and goes. Straight-up, there are days, weeks where nothing really interesting happens worth note in your field. That's okay and actually really good. Use that time to read books, or find new resources on the background of your subject/topic of interest. Always always always be learning.

Difficult to be completely sure on this one; I welcome more input.

Satellite imagery by Planet of today, Dec 16, so far doesn't show a massive leak of heavy fuel oil, as feared after two aging Russian oil tankers sunk or were damaged in the Kerch Strait. We'll keep monitoring to see if the situation develops.

NEW: Maxar is out with new images of Russia's Khmeimim airbase showing transport planes loading gear, and Ka-52 attack helos & an S-400 air defense unit being dismantled

New Thread.🇸🇾vehicle losses in Hama city.
On 05.12 Rebels moved into the city. Some fighting but SAA largely melt away.
Source says here they unexpectedly met a 🇸🇾tank then flee AA MG from it.
Enroute an abandoned 🇸🇾ZSU-23-4 Shilka (seen elsewhere later).
I didn't count the T-55 as unclear affiliation.

Our friends at @planet captured an unusual -- likely Iranian -- aircraft at Latakia (Khmeimim Air Base/OSLK) earlier today. We think its likely an evacuation flight. Rats fleeing a sinking ship.

This appears to be Idlib, not Hama. Building in the background resembles the Shawarma House in Idlib at 35.9322, 36.6240 as seen in one of their Facebook videos here: www.facebook.com/Shawarmahome...

Filming location would perhaps be across the street at another shawarma spot at 35.9319, 36.6240.

I've put together an OSINT starter kit. Let's unite the OSINT community on Bluesky!

As we all manage the migration from X to BlueSky, I've made a starter pack of interdisciplinary folks to follow who work on open-source investigations in crisis and conflict settings.

I'll add more as they join!
