Exactly one year ago I flew Saab Gripen. In this new video I talk about that unforgettable experience, all the surprises, the things I did not expect and the many questions I now have. It is posted on my new channel that will focus on modern airpower topics (Hint: subscribe): youtu.be/IGCFjQYTAoU

Do people really hate raisins that much? 👉Based on combat in Poland, one Luftwaffe bomber unit advises that ideal combat food is Chocolate (maybe misspelled Schokakola), rusk and cookies. Raisins are considered „too sweet“. Do with this knowledge what you must.

Great talks with @justinpykehistory.bsky.social about Japanese aviation (planes, tactics, techniques, etc.). A lot of info on various topics, including usually neglected pre-Pearl Harbor combat in China. Highly recommended.

„Defence Ministers from 10 NATO Allies came together on 11 Oct. 2023 to sign a memorandum of understanding to further develop the European Sky Shield Initiative.“ ESSI is becoming more concrete but the countries that signed the MoU are no surprise. www.nato.int/cps/en/natoh...

I am confused about this potential announcement for ESSI. Will new countries join or is this a formalisation of ESSI into a binding framework? 🤨
