🚨🇺🇸 SecDef Hegseth wants to delay the US Navy's sixth-gen fighter program, F/A-XX by up to three years, effectively cancelling the existing competition between Boeing & Northrop Grumman.
OSD wants to reprogram $453 million to other priorities and is asking Congress to cut the extra $500 million the program is slated to receive in the reconciliation bill.
Congress, the Navy and industry are pushing back hard against this.

RT @ThomasVLinge: I guess the lesson to be learned here is that there is always a military solution. You just need to fight long and hard enough to win. https://twitter.com/ThomasVLinge/status/1922619378991788062#m

A very interesting episode in the Gulf of Finland that potentially can increase the temperature in the Baltic.
Jaguar is currently at anchor east of Gogland/Suursaari so seems the crew didn't comply and that the Estonians eventually broke off. https://twitter.com/Capt_Navy/status/1922673307825930350#m

@Capt_Navy: I made the comment at my own risk too, but the video seems legit and Estonian Navy P-6732 was in the eastern Gulf of Finland yesterday evening, as Jaguar passed through.
Hopefully we will get the details soon. Looks like the Russian Air Force was out there too.

@NiiranenTimo: I'd say we have enough circumstantial to say that the video likely is legit.
Hopefully we will get more details from this soon, also from the Estonians.

@NiiranenTimo: I found that one. Had to search a bit to see if there were enough breadcrumbs to go by, that this actually could have happened, before commenting.
P6732 seems to have followed Jaguar east to Russian TTW.

🇺🇸🇶🇦 Those F-15QAs are unarmed. It's a ceremonial escort. Same as in Saudi Arabia. https://twitter.com/JenniferJJacobs/status/1922651655197073535#m

@Blooplup: No it isn't. It's a new statement on a question that hasn't been publicly answered previously AFAIK.

As we see a Flanker type fighter in the video, and the timings coarsely match, this airspace violation by a Su-35 might be related.
