    UCAVs/CCAs demonstrate promise but imagination must be tempered by operational analysis. In this short piece for @CalibreDefence, I argue uncrewed systems should presently not be pursued as an immediate substitute for crewed fighters but developed as core combat air enablers.

    Very happy to share this article written by @MilAvHistory from @RUSI_org with you. Christoph takes a look at the role CCAs/UCAVs could play for the Luftwaffe as their capabilities become clearer. calibredefence.co.uk/luftwaffe-ccas… Thanks, Christoph for your time and contribution.

    They pushed the Su-57 until that didn’t work out great. Then they pushed the Su-75 that didn’t go nowhere. Now it’s the MiG-41 that won’t… you can fill in the rest. Getting real Wunderwaffe vibes here from Russia and their online trolls (+retweeters)

    Welcoming Sweden To NATO - in the best way possible! What an experience flying Gripen over frozen lakes, cotton candy clouds and at supersonic speed and hitting the G's. This fast, nimble and precise fast jet makes flying easy! Huge thank you to @Saab for the unique experience.

    The idea that the Luftwaffe of WW2 was somehow not involved in the atrocities and politics of Nazi Germany is a popular one but also complete fiction. Although I don’t have the space to talk about everything, here is a short overview why (some distressing images):
