I believe I found the "ships on fire in the Gulf of Oman" cause.

Appears that the tankers ADALYNN and FRONT EAGLE collided, possibly setting one of the vessels ablaze. Image Collision at 2114 UTC, fire image taken at 2119 UTC, and FIRMS detect at 2140 UTC. Image

Roughly 12 hours into Israel’s campaign on Iran, and so far, it’s been a disaster for the Iranians

- Israeli 4th gen jets operating nearly uncontested in Iranian airspace

- Iranian military leadership decimated

- Failure of Iran’s missile force to launch an immediate response - Israeli Mossad operatives running around launching drones and ATGMs at key Iranian systems

- Israeli Air Force generating an immense number of sorties over Iran, with Syria serving as a safe refueling area.

- Hezbollah choosing to stay on the sidelines

Just a bizarre series of events, Putin offers direct leader-to-leader peace talks last weekend, and the end result is a small Russian negotiating team showing up to deliver the most maximalist, revanchist, and unhinged demands. Threats of further Russian invasion, prolonged multiyear war, and a negotiation that fell apart after two hours.

A great representation of how absolutely horrendous US Navy procurement is.

In roughly the same time it took the US to fight over and fail to build the Constellation class, Italy managed to build 9 multirole warships with similar capabilities for *half* of the price. Image For €557 million per unit, you get a modular platform with

-5000 nmi cruise range (convoy escort from Hawaii to Japan or the Philippines)
-5 in main gun
-76mm CIWS
-16x heavy SAM with MRBM intercept capabilities
-Dual band AESA radar
-Towed array sonar

Amazing find by @KSOSINT, it appears that a Ukrainian An-124 transported at least 3 F-16 airframes from the boneyard at Davis-Monthan AFB to Rzeszow, Poland, gateway for western aid to Ukraine.

The US has not confirmed any direct donations of F-16s to Ukraine. Image The individual airframes are unknown, and missing too many identifying features to ascertain whether they are mothballed As or newer Cs.

They do appear to be complete, though disassembled. Image
