Norge bare tuller rundt med droner og helikoptre

 

Jeg ser ikke noen som helst tegn til orden i systemet til Forsvaret. Vi trenger sårt droner i overvåkingsrollen og Andøya er valgt av fagspesialistene som det beste stedet for operasjon av store droner, men ikke noe som helst liv i helikopterporvalg til Hæren og Spesialstyrkene. Under ser du en åpenbar kandidat, faktisk min favoritt, som norsk, mellomstor drone i MALE (Medium Altitude Long Endurance) kategorien. Forøvrig mener jeg at Kystartilleriet må gjenopplives med flyttbare NSM batterier langs Finnmarkskysten. (Red.)

A STRONG OFFENSE FOR THE WORLD OF DEFENSE

October 30, 2026

Few humans have flown a jet as high or as fast as Adelbert “Buz” Carpenter. During his six years as an SR-71 Blackbird pilot, the now-retired Air Force colonel flew 230 missions, frequently exceeding three times the speed of sound. Over the course of nearly 800 hours flying one of the world’s most iconic aircraft, Carpenter soared over Cuba, skirted North Korea and tracked Russian nuclear submarines in the Arctic. He also had a few close calls, in one case narrowly avoiding disaster.

With the possibility that NASA could be returning the SR-71 to its test fleet, the Blackbird is back in the news and we wanted to dive deep into what it was like to fly the jet and get some thoughts on the latest SR-71 rumors from someone who piloted it. We couldn’t think of anyone better than “Buz” Carpenter.
