Potential Improvement To Ukraine’s F-16: US Quickly Integrates Harpoon Anti-Ship Missile Into Its Aircraft
 
The US Air Force has quickly integrated the new Harpoon anti-ship missile into its F-16 jets.

A photo of the F-16D and the missile was published by the US Air Force press service.

The F-16D was spotted flying at Nellis Air Force Base, where the 53rd Test Group is stationed.


The missile suspended from the aircraft was an XATM-84N-1, which is a training inert munition used to conduct relevant tests, such as drops, evaluation of aircraft performance during flight with it, etc.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

To me, this doesn't have the appearance of a rift between Trump and Zelenskyy.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

It might be relevant for all of Europe and the others flying F-16s (Israel?), not just Ukraine.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

The blow up just happened yesterday...   These things have to be digested, and then adjusted.
