The DAP-6-armed Mojave engaged multiple ground targets in seven strafing runs across two separate sorties on April 13, according to a press release and accompanying video, seen below, that General Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) put out today. At one point in the video, a Chevy pickup truck is seen exploding. The 7.62x51mm rounds that a #Minigun fires are not explosive, but the truck could've been rigged with explosives or fuel inside of it could have ignited.

Not surprising...
“The unprecedented rise in military spending is a direct response to the global deterioration in peace and security,” Nan Tian, senior researcher in SIPRI’s military expenditure and arms production programme, said in a statement.
Military expenditure has been rising for nine years straight, and military spending bolstered in all regions of the world for the first time since 2009, the report found. This was linked to the war in Ukraine, as well as to growing tensions in the Middle East and other developments, such as a pushback against organized crime and gang violence in Central America and the Caribbean.

Committee to Protect Journalists calls for #investigation into alleged targeting of #Ukraine journalist
According to accounts from Slidstvo.Info and other local media outlets, on April 1, 2024, two officers from a local military recruitment office approached #Shulhat while he was grocery shopping, attempting to hand him a notice to report to their office. When Shulhat began recording and questioning the officers about potential links to his probe into Vityuk’s property holdings, they promptly left. Although individuals in Shulhat’s age group are legally subject to conscription under Ukraine’s martial law regulations, the circumstances surrounding this event suggest a deviation from established procedures outlined in Ukrainian law. Notably, #CCTV footage examined by Slidstvo.Info revealed the two officers entering the supermarket accompanied by a civilian, identified by Slidstvo.Info as an SBU representative. This individual pointed out Shulhat before departing. Shortly after, the officers approached Shulhat, addressing him by name, and informed him of the need to update his personal information with the #recruitment board, citing his recent 27th birthday.

Hezbollah has claimed they destroyed mobile radar, air defense units as well as multiple Iron Dome batteries, but the claims have been ignored by the media and military analysts as propaganda and Israel (as always) does not report of any losses, specially not in the north.
In a video released by Hezbollah yesterday (Can find it on my telegram channel: https://t.me/newsvideofa/1954), one can see how a manpad missile was shot against the Israeli military Meron site and taking out a mobile unit that is part of the early warning system of Israel to detect drones and missiles.
What makes this video surprising and unique is that the missile corrects it’s trajectory to locate and hit the target perfectly. The target is an AN/TPQ-37-II mobile long range artillery detection unit (the video claims it is the much larger and more advanced Israeli ELM-2084 but it looks much morel like a much cheaper AN/TPQ-37-II) that costs about $25M. I could not find any information about it being purchased by Israel, but as always, Israeli military purchases are not easy to locate.
Judging by this video, I am wondering if their claims about destroying at least 2 Iron Dome batteries (each worth $50M) are also true and it is really going to have major impact on Israel’s ability to engage with Hezbollah and Iran while also fighting in Gaza.
Anyway, this was a big surprise for me and I always thought the videos shared on Iran military telegram channels were propaganda and/or fake, but this is a game changer for Israel who always had a huge advantage in firepower and technology compared to all of it’s enemies.

Quand les #Américains voulaient #gouverner la #France par #AnnieLacroix-Riz
aperçu - Suite
C’est une page peu connue de l’ #histoire de la seconde #guerre #mondiale : dès 1941-1942, #Washington avait prévu d’imposer à la France — comme aux futurs vaincus, #Italie, #Allemagne et #Japon — un #statut de #protectorat, régi par un #Allied #Military #Government of #Occupied #Territories ( #Amgot). Ce #gouvernement #militaire #américain des #territoires #occupés aurait #aboli toute #souveraineté, y compris le #droit de battre #monnaie, sur le #modèle fourni par les #accords Darlan-Clark de novembre 1942.
A en croire certains #historiens #américains, ce #projet tenait à la #haine qu’éprouvait Franklin D. #Roosevelt pour Charles #deGaulle, « apprenti dictateur » qu’il eût voulu épargner à la France de l’après-Pétain. Cette #thèse d’un #président américain soucieux d’établir la #démocratie #universelle est séduisante, mais erronée.

All 3 branches of Iran's regular army and IRGC are on highest alert (3 out of 3) across the country, videos of air defense systems transferred from strategic underground bunkers around major cities and industrial installations being reported.
US and Israeli media were spreading false news about imminent attacks by Israel planned for last night, whil other sources claim that Biden have sent a message to Khamenei to accept a symbolic attack against the country in exchange for US pushing israel to prevent an escalation of the conflict, something that Iranian sources have denied.
Iran have also seem to have brought out the advanced Kheybar, Khorramshahr-4 and Emad long range Missiles to prepare for a quick and large scale respond to any Israeli attacks.
The Empire announced that #Alderaan was close to completing weapons of mass destruction. Defensive aggressive defense left no other option but to destroy the planet before it could become a threat to peace in the galaxy.

The image claiming to be the first stage of Iranian Emad missile used during April 14 retaliation attacks against Israeli airbases.
The Emad missile drops the fuel stage before locking into the target. The image was shared by an Israeli accounts, but I'm not sure of it's authentic.
CNN quoting a U.S. official: Biden informed Netanyahu to consider what happened a victory because Washington's assessment is that the Iranian attack was unsuccessful.
Ah well. I guess it's time to write the new check and send a few hundred cargo planes full of weapons then.

Iran had vowed to retaliate after an #airstrike on an Iranian #consulate in #Syria earlier this month killed seven Iranian #military officials. It is the first time that Iran has launched an attack on Israel from Iranian soil, Israeli officials said.
