  1. Drones confirmed. Skynews via Iran saying also missles. Iran says it has launched missiles at Israel Iran has also launched missiles at Israel, its Revolutionary Guards has said. In a statement quoted by state media, the branch of the Iranian Armed Forces said it has targeted specific places in Israel with dozens of drones and missiles. The Israeli military confirmed a salvo of drones had been launched from the country and could take "several hours" to arrive. Israeli media has reported the drones could start arriving at around 2am local time (12am UK time) but the missiles could arrive sooner.
  2. Wiki says they have upgraded HAWKS.
  3. No, but they have the capability and coordination. It was a thought that came to mind.
  4. Doubt it. But Flight Tracker 24 showing US air assets (tankers) up over iraq.
  5. Cross posting from CR. Reports are Iran has launched a large drone attack. Jordan and Iraq have closed their airspaces.
  6. Iraq closed its airspace. I would hate to be on a commercial flight in the area right now. We have three of our team moving around the region. All have halted their movement. CBS broke the masters coverage to update on this.
  7. And at the same time launch from Yemen and Lebanon. Can the IAF handle all three?
  8. Reuters reporting Jordan closed its airspace. Israel announced full mobilization. Reuters link about Jordan. https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/jordan-temporarily-close-airspace-state-media-says-2024-04-13/ Link about full alert. https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/israel-calls-off-school-trips-puts-forces-full-alert-amid-iran-threat-2024-04-13/
  9. Sahel is not going to get any better. Well not soon anyways. Dozens of Russian military instructors have arrived in Niger as part of a new agreement with the country's junta, which has cut links with the West. State media reported that they arrived along with a state-of-the-art air defence system. They are expected to install the system and teach Niger's army how to use it. The West African country is one several in the Sahel region ruled by military authorities to have recently strengthened ties with Russia. A spokesperson for Niger's military government on Friday said the Russians were in the country to train soldiers. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-68796359
  10. KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukraine’s military chief on Saturday warned that the battlefield situation in the industrial east has “significantly worsened in recent days,” as warming weather allowed Russian forces to launch a fresh push along several stretches of the more 1,000 km-long (620-mile) front line. In an update on the Telegram messaging app, Gen. Oleksandr Syrskyy said that Moscow had “significantly” ramped up its assaults since President Vladimir Putin extended his nearly quarter-century rule in a preordained election last month that saw anti-war candidates barred from the ballot and independent voices silenced in a Kremlin-backed media blockade. According to Syrskyy, Russian forces have been “actively attacking” Ukrainian positions in three areas of the eastern Donetsk region, near the cities of Lyman, Bakhmut and Pokrovsk, and beginning to launch tank assaults as drier, warmer spring weather has made it easier for heavy vehicles to move across previously muddy terrain https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-war-tokmak-007dcac6cbce356688720479f725bc7c
  11. Damn this is messed up. Perpetrator not identified yet. SYDNEY (AP) — A man stabbed six people to death at a busy Sydney shopping center Saturday before he was fatally shot, police said, with hundreds fleeing the chaotic scene, many weeping as they carried their children. Eight people, including a 9-month-old, were injured. New South Wales police said they believed a 40-year-old man was responsible for the Saturday afternoon attack at the Westfield Shopping Centre in Bondi Junction, in the city’s eastern suburbs. They said they were not able to name him until a formal identification had taken place but that they weren’t currently treating the attack as terrorism-related. The man was shot dead by a female police inspector after he turned and raised a knife, New South Wales Assistant Police Commissioner Anthony Cooke told reporters. “This all happened very, very quickly — the officer that was in the vicinity attended on her own, was guided to the location of the offender by people who were in the center,” he said. “She took the actions that she did saving a range of people’s lives.” https://apnews.com/article/sydney-shopping-center-stabbing-shot-bondi-52318d684ebbab17dcac33a833ba0d51
  12. Wars and battles are won by meters, not kilometers. We, the US have a massive support organization. Maintenance, food, everything that goes into it. Ukraine did not get that early and it takes time to build. I think people think everyone coming out of infantry school or armor school is a bad ass. Nope. Takes time to learn. Ukraine is holding their own. It is impressive.
  13. Matthew Miller, Department Spokesperson The United States welcomes today’s establishment of a Transitional Presidential Council (TPC) in Haiti. The result of months of discussion among diverse Haitian stakeholders, this Council helps pave the way for free and fair elections and the expedited deployment of a Multinational Security Support mission. We applaud Haitians for their commitment to move forward in a spirit of reconciliation and national dialogue. We remain committed to working with CARICOM and international partners to support the TPC’s mission to work for and improve the lives of all Haitians. The security situation in Haiti remains untenable due to the violence caused by gangs that claim to represent the Haitian people but thrive on violence and misery. Gangs have shut down key infrastructure and economic sites that are lifelines for fuel, humanitarian aid, and other vital supplies, and continue to strip Haitians of their rights to food, education, and healthcare. The United States is surging support for the Haitian security forces to bolster their capabilities as they fight to defend their country. We commend Haitian leaders for making tough compromises to move toward democratic governance via free and fair elections. Much work lies ahead, and the United States remains committed to supporting the people of Haiti. https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDAsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LnN0YXRlLmdvdi90aGUtdW5pdGVkLXN0YXRlcy13ZWxjb21lcy1lc3RhYmxpc2htZW50LW9mLWhhaXRpcy10cmFuc2l0aW9uYWwtcHJlc2lkZW50aWFsLWNvdW5jaWwvIiwiYnVsbGV0aW5faWQiOiIyMDI0MDQxMy45MzMwNTI3MSJ9.bzY91Go8PmONIO7q77ayoov6vBzspazx_G8S5uo-XdQ/s/733796035/br/240684341848-l
  14. I can lend you a pole saw.
  15. Careful. He will sue you off his ledge.
  16. MIAMI (AP) — A former career U.S. diplomat was sentenced Friday to 15 years in federal prison after admitting he worked for decades as a secret agent for communist Cuba, a plea agreement that leaves many unanswered questions about a betrayal that stunned the U.S. foreign service. Manuel Rocha, 73, will also pay a $500,000 fine and cooperate with authorities after pleading guilty to conspiring to act as an agent of a foreign government. In exchange, prosecutors dismissed more than a dozen other counts, including wire fraud and making false statements. “Your actions were a direct attack to our democracy and the safety of our citizens,” U.S. District Court Judge Beth Bloom told Rocha. Rocha, dressed in a beige jail uniform, asked his friends and family for forgiveness. “I take full responsibility and accept the penalty,” he said. https://apnews.com/article/manuel-rocha-spy-cuba-guilty-plea-8fd30500f4588129a195daaf2d720c13
