In honor of @DeptofDefense #FursuitFriday, meet @usairforce’s POL (airman?) Brandon/Jared [] Millian

“Jupiter Wolf” fuels aircraft at Charleston AFB; the 628 Logistics Readiness Squadron

He wears his Deer 🦌 Fursuit on the flight line in uniform; opens up for sex jokes ImageImage
Jupiter Wolf @usairforce Millian seems to think the command’s fuel trucks are his complimentary Furry photo shoot accessories for his fans

“Heya cutie, need a filling? 😉
Your plane, I mean”

@SecDef: “Diversity is our Strength” ImageImage
But it’s generally unwise to sneak your Furry 🦌 head and paws/hooves? on to the flight line (@usairforce flight lines are guarded by airmen with M4s) and start the photo shoot with your bud…

with your name tag & 628 Logistics Readiness Squadron Patch out in the open, then post ImageImageImageImage

Thread: Division of Assests during 1947 Partition of Indian Subcontinent

The independence of #Pakistan didn't come easy; it came with enormous issues & hurdles, having no parallel in history. The biggest issue/injustice faced by Pakistan was the unjust division of assets.
[1]
The civil and military officials were left with a difficult task when Mountbatten decided on 3 June 1947 that Pakistan and India would be divided into two portions.
[2]
The division of assets at the time of the Partition of the Indian subcontinent in 1947 was a complex and contentious process. The partition involved the creation of two new independent countries: #India and #Pakistan.

Yes, millions of #Russians will die, alas, but the world as a whole will be saved.

Next, all of #NATO's conventional power would come crashing down on Russia.

on air defense.

The Russian #AirForce will be destroyed in the first minutes for the most part, and those fleets that get in the air will be destroyed by F-22s and F-35s.

The B2s will fly to the #Urals and launch bunker strikes on #Yamantau and other safe havens.
6/3
All Russian #leadership bunkers will be destroyed in the first 5 hours.

Next, the B52s will carpet bomb the Russian army in #Ukraine and #Russia. Hundreds of thousands of bombs will scorch the entire Russian army left unprotected by air defense and air forces.

And we're off! First up, @StephenLosey kicking things off with @SecAFOfficial Frank Kendall on what he's got planned for the future of the #AirForce. #DNConf
@StephenLosey @SecAFOfficial Kendall on Ukraine: as winter approaches and maneuverability diminishes, it will be up to Ukraine to determine what its future defense needs are. To know that now for certain would be speculation.
@StephenLosey @SecAFOfficial On more aircraft retirements for the 2024 budgets, Kendall said, in general: "We have to divest our older systems that are increasingly costly to maintain."

Built in 1942, Chakulia airport in present day Jharkhand was home to B-29s from the USAAF's 40th Bombardment Group, Abandoned in 1945, it remained a notified area with a ban on construction. There are proposals to revive it in the future. ImageImageImage
Digri Airfield near Uparsolbankati was built in 1942 and used primarily by the RAF's Liberator Squadrons including 355, 357, 358 squadrons. Closed and abandoned in 1945, the runways and aprons are relatively well preserved. ImageImageImage

Eastern India, including Bengal, Jharkhand and Odisha were home to fighter and bomber squadrons from the 10th USAAF's India Air Task Force. Many of these bases were converted to IAF or civil use after 1945, but several were abandoned. Here is what became of these....
The airport near the present day IIT Kharagpur was known as the Hijli Base Area hosted the United States Army Air Force XX Bomber Command 58th Bombardment Wing in early 1945. The airport no longer exists but its runway provides the alignment for the Hijli Railway station. ImageImage
Asansol airport was established in 1941 by the RAF. From 1943 B-17s of the USAAF 7th Bombardment Group were based here. Abandoned after the war, the outline of the aprons are visible in the ecological park to the south-west of the frame below. Image

#BlackHistoryMonth is an opportunity to understand Black histories, going beyond stories of racism and slavery to spotlight Black success and high achievement. However, the focus on the past sometimes causes us to overlook the history that Black people make right now today.
There are times that Black History walks among us and we fail to recognize its greatness. My grandmomma used to say, “Flowers are for the living.” That is to say, can’t no dead people smell no flowers! Why do we wait for people to die before we honor them?
Let’s honor them now! While they can appreciate it! And they can know that we appreciate them! And sometimes, Black History is as simple as representation.

#LiberationofGoa

#November 1961 - in a display of its #maritime supremacy in the region Portuguese contingent based at #Anjadip Island fires at #Indian merchant ship Sabarmati. Portuguese garrisons also fire indiscriminately on Indian fishing boats off #Karwar & South #Goa (1/n)
These acts of aggression by the Portuguese forced #GovernmentofIndia to evict them from Indian soil & #IndianNavy executed #OpVijay to achieve this aim.

Two warships #Rajput & #Kirpan are deployed to escort merchant ships & ensure safety of fishermen (2/n)

First photos of graduates from "Military Academy of #Kabul".
In #Afghanistan after pol leaders fled & soldiers surrendered, #Taliban have talked about an inclusive national #army curently being reorganised. But what hardware/capabilities will they have

🧵ImageImageImageImage
They have
-Millions of rounds of ammo
-10s of thousands of guns, radios other hardware
-1000s of MRAPs & Humvees
-Dozens of aircraft
-100s of technicians/operators

@AJEnglish had exclusive access to what #Taliban says is the beginning of its own #AirForce
Military analysts say much of the estimated $88 BILLION firepower built by US in its 20-yr #Afghan war is either obsolete/inoperable. The coalition destroyed large amounts of hardware on its way out.

Now some being rebuilt from scrap and spares.
Such as #Mi24 #Mi35 attack helis ImageImage

1. Is financial market pricing in some heightened Taiwan Strait war risk this week? Yes, a little. No perfect measure. With China on holiday last wk, can attribute some pop of 5-yr CDS price as caused by heighted attention, which happens around Oct with back to back national days
2. To put in context, China 5 Yr CDS value is 48.87, reveals a 0.81% implied probability of default, on a 40% recovery rate supposed. US 5 Yr CDS is 17.4, reveals a 0.29% implied probability of default. Recent increase in US mostly by the debt ceiling fight. #MintTheCoin hahaha
3. @PredictIt betting market doesn't have a Taiwan specific market, but has 3 China related contracts. Betting on who would be confirmed for next US Ambassador to China, and Pres. Xi's chance of staying as party General Secretary for next 10 years.

We are humbled to have the opportunity to virtually debut a full flight this Memorial Day weekend during the nation-wide broadcast of the National Memorial Day Parade:

How anyone who respects #vets wouldn't crawl thru mud to #VoteBiden is beyond me.

After reading Trump's shameful comments, I Googled the name of the #POW whose name I wore on my wrist for years. What I learned couldn't stand in starker contrast to @realDonaldTrump.
#POW Cpt Lynn Guenther was shot down & spent 14 months in the infamous Hanoi Hilton. He said the experience taught him "the real meaning of tolerance and love - tolerance for those around us and love for the country and world we live in" (link below). nara.getarchive.net/media/former-p…

1. Le spécialiste du big data pour la défense et la sécurité perd toujours beaucoup d'argent, 580 millions de dollars pour 2019, pour un chiffre d'affaires de 742 millions de dollars.
