Something going on in Riyadh?
Rocket alerts, Israel.

No, don't start pulling this crap.
Causing a crazy backup in air traffic to Dubai right now.

Sirens, Bahrain.
Impact, Dubai.

I believe this earlier in the week.
Still, not great.

Looking at you, QRF.
Thinking the possibilities include, but are not limited to, determining locations of our warships, electronic and/or signals intelligence, as well as perhaps even timing of our strike assets.
In fairness, I think this would give more credit to Russia and less to Iranian intelligence which has been preparing this fight for decades.
Where Russia could (likely would) fill the gaps would be things outside the capabilites of Iran, or rather, fill gaps as Iranian defense degrades.

Large wave of tankers and undoubtedly fighters/strike aircraft with or near them. Passing north of Al-Jubail, 🇸🇦 KSA.

Can't help but notice this was sent on the last day of the 12-Day War.
Doesn't make it right, just noticing.
Visually confirming an attack at Isfahan/Badr Airbase (IRI Army Aviation). The area of focus (red) along the POV line (yellow) is near a facility with drones at 32.6225, 51.6942, as seen on Google Earth via Airbus imagery on 20251025.
But the Dow was over 50,000.
Caveat is for now, it is 3rd party-reported and under investigation, but the UKMTO is sharing the info.
Or disloyal. Trump could care less about what credibility anyone in his admin has. he only cares if he thinks someone betrayed him.
Was watching this tug the last day and have reason to believe this is the one mentioned.
🇦🇪 UAE tug MUSSAFAH 2 had increased to 11.5 knots as it approached the bend near Kumzar. No AIS ping for 23 hours. Had been reporting restricted maneuverability since it left Abu Dhabi.
UKMTO statement on it.
Was this about the plane and the blankey.
Please let it be about the plane and the blankey.
Sirens, Bahrain.
Unrelated to the conflict in the Middle East, an Indian Su-30 crashed, both pilots killed.
🇰🇼 Kuwaiti F-18C shot down at least one of the 🇺🇸 USAF F-15Es in visual range on March 2nd.
I don't know what to say. It's definitely hard to make excuses for.

Satellite imagery captured March 5 shows at least two oil storage tanks burning at the Fujairah Oil Industry Zone in the UAE, with a third completely burnt out after Iranian attacks. Fujairah is one of the world's largest ship refuelling hubs. #Iran
