Formålet med bloggen er å bidra til informasjon om luftfart av alle slag. Også litt om ubåter og forsvarsspørsmål. Nyheter vil du finne her også, en del på engelsk som er det mest brukte luftfartsspråket. Har du selv noe som bør komme ut, så send meg en mail til per.gram@hesbynett.no - Politikk på alle nivåer over hele verden er i kaos. Voldsomme endringer kan finne sted på kort tid, som også kan få innvirkning på forsvarsdisposisjoner. Det må kommenteres.

President Trump said Monday he will “certainly look at” establishing a
U.S. military base in Lithuania a week after the country’s prime
minister said he would welcome U.S. service members into the Baltic
state. “They’re friends of mine; they're great people, so we'll
certainly look at it. They are great people,” the president said when...

Trump on Iran: 'Let them take out LA, let them take out San Diego'
US President Donald Trump's remark that Iran could "take out" Los Angeles and San Diego have sparked fierce backlash from California politicians - and a strongly worded rebuttal from the White House.
California Governor Gavin Newsom responded to the comments - made by Trump during a midterms rally in Nebraska - as "deranged and dangerous," while LA Mayor Karen Bass described them as threats and an attempt to "encourage attacks on American lives".
According to the White House, however, Trump was saying that American cities would have been threatened by Iran had he not launched a war there earlier this year.
The cities are the largest in southern California and house major US military installations including Navy ports and Air Force bases.
The U.S. Air Force’s scramjet-powered Hypersonic Attack Cruise Missile
(HACM) has finally reached the flight test phase, with at least one
“release” having been carried out so far over a range in Australia. HACM
has suffered significant delays, and the Air Force has taken the risky
step of scaling back overall testing plans to try to keep the program on
schedule. The stated goal is to be able to make a decision to start
rapidly acquiring HACMs in 2027.
The Air Force has been working on HACM in cooperation with the Royal
Australian Air Force. Raytheon (now formally RTX), in cooperation with
Northrop Grumman, was chosen to develop the missile in 2022. The weapon
has reportedly been designated AHM-4A in a new branch of the U.S.
military’s joint service nomenclature system for aircraft and missiles.
