Finally photographed Royal Navy OPV HMS Tamar and her striking motif on Saturday. She was heading eastbound in the Strait of Johor after leaving Sembawang in Singapore

2024 has not been a bad year for aircraft photography

Elon Musk having enough money to do whatever he wants every minute of the rest of his life and he spends it being an Ian Miles Cheong reply guy at 2am, like, for all his financial corrupting and feckless cruelties, I still can’t think of a crueler hell that he deserves than the life he’s made

The first Chinese PLA Navy Type 076 amphibious assault ship was launched on the morning of Dec. 27 at the Hudong-Zhonghua Shipyard in Shanghai. It was named after the province of Sichuan and has a hull number of 51.

I’ve been told it’s unlikely

Singapore also saw 3x USN CMV-22B Osprey CODs from VRM-30 from the USS Carl Vinson arrive over Christmas, including 169459/72 using the callsign RUDY72 in this rather fetching Japan-inspired tail colours

Worth noting there was a big USN/DoD ship presence in Singapore over Christmas: sub tender USS Emory S Land, DDG USS O’Kane, USNS John Ericsson (T-AO), MV Carolyn Chouest (SpecOps mothership) in Sembawang while USS John L Canley (ESB) and 2x LCS in Changi

Two for the price of one. Looks like Shenyang unveiled its own design today. Competition for the JH-XX award, or for another program?

My initial, Captain Obvious take bsky.app/profile/theb...

I’d say it’s a next gen fighter-bomber or bomber design. Low observable, manned, with 3 engines (based on dorsal and 2 lower fuselage intakes)

Bigger than a J-20. Looks like this is the bomber/fighter-bomber that was being talked about

And the semi-annual Christmas defence surprise from China has just dropped. Seen over Chengdu today

Japan’s ATLA releases concept artwork for its Stand Off Jammer aircraft based on the C-2 airlifter. For some reason I’m getting Total Recall vibes www.mod.go.jp/atla/researc...

At Hualien we got lucky with two F-16V's carrying the AN/VDS-5 LOROP-EO pod, otherwise known as the Phoenix Eye. Any F-16V can carry them, they are then unofficially known as a RF-16V. Also, two F-16V's returned from a CAP sortie with live AIM-9 and AIM-120s. #ROCAF @F-16.net

Just back from Japan & Taiwan. Main goal for the Taiwan trip was the last remaining RF-5E of the 12th TRS at Hualien under the 5th TFW. Two taxied out with a F-5F but the mission got scrubbed because of the weather. Luckily, they had to taxi underneath us on the way back. #ROCAF

Awesome!

Assad denies planning to flee Syria in first comments from Moscow In a post on Telegram, an account belonging to the ousted president insists he remained in Damascus until rebel fighters arrived in the city, and then moved to a Russian air base further north, which ...

TL;DR Assad: I didn’t ask for a ride, but the Russians gave me one anyway 😂 www.abc.net.au/news/2024-12...

I mean the Hogs will be the first US combat aircraft over Hanoi since 72-73. US mil transports have been visited Hanoi in recent years

USAF A-10s and C-130J at Hanoi’s Gia Lam Airport for the VIDEX defence expo. They are the first US combat aircraft to fly over Hanoi since 1972-73, I believe?

Coming soon to another meat assault in Ukraine bsky.app/profile/nivc...

Pretty sure I’m not the 1st to suggest this but honestly haven’t seen this elsewhere but what if Assad regime collapse was due to Putin telling him Russia will no longer prop him up solo after Hezbollah got disemboweled & offered exile instead bec Ru needs the $, men & gear in Syria for Ukraine?

Pictures from rehearsal day Air Tactical Operations Evaluation - taking place on Dec 12. Photos: RTAF 🇹🇭

#Gripen D w/ LITENING III, IRIS-T, AMRAAM

This Getty photo showing the aftermath of an Israeli airstrike at Al-Mezzeh airfield in Damascus is likely at 33.4819, 36.2363 judging by the wreckage of the L-29 Delfin and MiG-21 sitting outside the shelter, which looks like it has a 2K12 Kub (SA-6 Gainful) SAM inside

Until they see the traffic, sprawl and property prices

Nice harbour views though, I’ll give them that

Look I want it to be true as much as the next guy, but I don’t see Bashar as the type who’d would try to get out of Dodge on a bloody Il-76

Some guy in the last few hours: “I don't need ammo, I need a ride”
