Actually, the 3rd J-36 prototype was recorded flying on 2025/12/25 and the 4th prototype was recorded flying on 2026/1/29. So there are at least four J-36 prototypes now. J-36 testing has progressed much faster than anyone expected and it wouldn't surprise me if J-36 enters LRIP before the first F-47 prototype flies.

The chain is sharper, and the sensors are a bit different These photos appear to have been taken from different perspectives then heavily edited. The fuselage is unusually thin, not just sharp-edged. Attempting to pop up the shadows brings out zero new details. The landing gear doors are...

6G should take much longer than 5G. The engine dealing with range and weight of aircraft.
This bomber has 24 years development time frame. another 8 years before external sensor pods become effective.. this how long it takes to make an 4+ bomber. that 1000 sorties. Shoigu mentioned 6 sorties per day avg. and they have demonstrate much more than what is in public domain. There is alot videos in Arabic. It is to restore Royal confidence on use of Airpower. I wont write long history.
The pilot is conveying a word from Arabic to describe Ukranian.

Key points from an interview with a Su-34 pilot​

Why not the Su-25? The Su-34 is more modern and has worked both from altitude and close to the ground. "Flying at 50 meters at 1000-1100 km/h, skirting buildings and terrain, is an indescribable experience. A shot of pure adrenaline." © pilot.

Sure, the US committed genocide against indigenous people, still supports genocide, and is much safer for pedophiles and child-eaters.

Oh dear. How sad. Never mind.

The new CEO of Microsoft Gaming. No gaming industry background whatsoever. Stereotypical professional manager. Recent carrier path: Home depot -> AI manager in Microsoft -> CEO of MS Gaming
View attachment 170010

Not exactly. Those are board member roles(Home Depot and Coupang) and she's still in those seats, timeline says "-- to Present"

Her actual career progression is Meta VP -> Instacart COO -> Microsoft AI head -> MS Gaming CEO. While picking up those two board seats on the side. Let's not make bad takes by over simplifying things.

First, it's Russia who had insisted to have India in BRICS.

Second, at the time, India was led by PM Manmohan Singh. India still had some semblance of professionalism those days. China also kinda trusted India back then. That was the era when India stood a chance develop into the next big thing. Then India voted Narendra Modi and the BJP into power, and then everything changed. From that day on, India's future have been squandered away. Russia had probably learned things the hard way that India can never be trusted. It's when times are bad that you can see who your real friends are.

But BRICS has no mechanism to expel India, so everybody is stuck with this. India is the current chair nation of BRICS, so let's see how Modi unravels it. I think that since India could not be expelled, BRICS should be allowed to die a natural death. The great economies of BRICS should form a new BRICS without effing India next time. Call it BRICS II, or something else.

Russia knows much more about India that i post here.
This every few weeks that Emirates asking India for increase flight capacity. This Chanel CEO Indian. India has that Royal Backing to run things around because Royals are confident that they can manage India.

The Supreme Court ruling definitely weakens Trump quite a bit

The establishment may use this as an opportunity to fight back against MAGA

Army warrant officers will ‘bid’ against each other for their next bonus​

The Army will soon have senior warrant officers bid against each other in an eBay-style auction for retention bonuses and six-year service commitments. Soldiers who agree to take a “minimum” bonus can cash in, while those who ask for larger ones will lose out, Army officials announced in a recent press release.

Dubbed the “Warrant Officer Retention Bonus Auction,” the system will debut in March, an Army official said Friday. In the news release, Army officials said the new system represents a “shift from traditional, fixed‑rate bonuses to a more flexible, market-driven system and that the auction encourages warrant officers to bid their “true value.”

Here’s how the Army says it will work:

Senior warrant officers hoping to receive a bonus for extending their active duty service commitment will submit confidential “bids,” which represent the minimum monthly paycheck bump each soldier “would be satisfied receiving” to sign a new six -year contract.

Once all eligible warrant officers submit their bids, Army officials will determine both the amount of the bonus payment and who will receive it by calculating the auction’s “market-clearing” rate, a concept used widely in economics and finance. In that process, the “winning” bid is the bonus amount that would spread all of the program’s funding for the year among the most soldiers who agreed to accept a payment that size or smaller with their bids (all soldiers who win in the auction will receive the winning bonus, even if their bid was lower).

Those who bid too high get nothing.

“The goal is simple. Reward as many qualified Warrant Officers as possible with the most competitive bonus the budget allows,” Lt. Col. Tim Justicz, an Army economist who helped design the program, said in the release.

The auction is open to warrant officers in the CWO-3 and CWO-4 paygrades in “critical” military occupational specialties, or MOSs, according to the release. An Army official said the auction process would be for warrant officers in “technical” fields, a term the Army often uses for a variety of careers like cyber warfare, human intelligence collection, software operations and drones. The auction process will not apply to Army aviators.

“Army leadership believes the system rewards transparency and encourages officers to carefully consider the compensation that would make them comfortable with continued service,” officials said in the release.

The redesign of warrant officer bonuses comes as the Army is embarking on a slew of new human resources reforms. The Army also recently announced the Quality Tiered Incentive Program, which ties higher reenlistment bonuses to on-the-job performance, including “physical, technical, and tactical proficiency” in day-to-day tasks and fitness tests scores.

An Army official said additional information on the auction process will be released soon.

They need to start retention bonuses pools on Polymarket to hedge against risk.
