Rattman

My apologies. I meant to ask if it was the first RAF use of an A400 for an operational air drop. It’s good to know that others have used them though.

The RAF has joined the party. Is this the first operational air drop from an A400?

The Air War

I don’t wish to play at being a moderator, but I started this thread to discuss the Air War. If we stray from that it’ll get shut down just like the JB thread got shut down. If there’s nothing air...

Aerial Bombardment

I am not about to divert my own thread with arguments about the rights and wrongs but just wanted to add some facts.

BBC Verify is reporting today that the IDF has so far dropped in excess of...

Melmoth

Drones

Has there been much in the way of drone activity coming out of Gaza? I assume that Hamas will have all the latest toys such as those that have been used so extensively in Ukraine. Do Israel have such...

Rockets vs bombs

I’m just throwing this out there because, in all the reading I’ve done over multiple sources, nobody seems to have a considered it yet. What would the damage look like from an air-burst fuse?

One way traffic

Just out of interest, has anyone seen any stories of aerial assets going the other way since the original assault? Either out of Palestine or indeed Lebanon?

A close up view

Apologies once again for the Instagram link but it’s where I’ve been seeing a good selection of videos. This one gives some interesting views of what it’s like to be on the receiving end.

Air strikes into Gaza

In the report I linked to earlier it mentioned 2000 strikes so far in the recent conflict. Is there a reliable source for what strikes are happening? I was wondering if they meant 2000 weapons had...

Frank Gardner Report

I apologise for the Instagram link for the video. If anyone is able to find a better link please post it.

BFM with para motors

Gaza Air War

I have been reading the Gaza thread on Jetblast with interest but I figured if ever there was a use for a military aviation forum this was it.
