30th July 1943. First jet powered flight of the Arado 234 bomber and reconnaissance aircraft. Like the Me 262, engine issues delayed its entry into service, though its top speed of over 450mph rendered it almost immune to interception in normal flight. However, again as with the Me 262, Allied pilots learned to catch the Ar 234 on takeoff or landing instead, and several were shot down in this way. Just over 200 aircraft were built before the end of the war.
The type’s first reconnaissance sortie was flown in one of the prototype aircraft by Erich Sommer over Normandy on 2nd August 1944. Arado 234s, equipped with two cameras, continued to fly reconnaissance missions without danger of interception, though the Luftwaffe was by now in no position to act on the resulting intelligence data. A number of sorties took place over Britain, continuing almost until the end of the war.
Bomber operations, flown by KG 76, didn’t begin until December 1944, during the Ardennes offensive. Usually armed with one or two 500kg bombs
(a maximum of 1,500kg could be carried) and operating at night, fewer than 20 aircraft took part in each raid. Arado 234s also took part in attacks on the bridge at Remagen in March 1945, during which a number were lost to anti-aircraft fire. Thereafter, with fuel in short supply and spares hard to come by, only a few more sorties took place, against Soviet forces advancing on Berlin.
An even faster variant of the Arado 234, the 4-engined ‘C’ model, was in production at the end of the war, though only a few were completed and none saw operational service. They were capable of flying at up to 540mph. Two-seat night fighters were also developed, while prototypes of a more advanced ‘D’ model were under construction but not completed. Surviving Ar 234s were extensively tested by Allied forces after the war.

Do you think Ebrahim Raisi's death was an accident or planned? What happens next? Is the Iranian establishment going to be affected?
According to the Iranian constitution, Vice President Muhammad Mokhbar will fill in as a caretaker president, with a new election being arranged and scheduled within 50 days.
The helicopter crash was almost certainly an accident. They were flying a Bell Twin-Two-Twelve from the shah's era, meaning that this was probably an aircraft from the mid-to-late 1970's. The Iranian regime has been under US sanctions, meaning that spare parts were unlikely in great supply and as a result, the aircraft was probably poorly-maintained. The Twin-Two-Twelve also relies primarily on visual information from the pilot, and the flight conditions were incredibly poor. Those are hazardous to fly in even for a whirly in the best of circumstances, and this was tough terrain under harsh weather conditions. The cause of the crash was almost certainly pilot error and/or mechanical malfunction due to poor maintenance.
Raisi was one of the leading candidates for the Iranian Supreme Leader position. Khameni is 85 and in failing health, so Raisi was one of the leading candidates to replace Khameni if he died or became so sick that he was unable to function. This likely means that the next Supreme Leader will be Mojitba Khameni, Khameni son.
The Presidency of Iran is mostly a symbolic position - the Supreme Leader holds all the real power. The likely candidate to replace Raisi will be Mojtiba Khameni.
Mojtiba is unpopular. Plenty of Iranians feel like Khameni favoring his son shows that the Islamic Republic is a de facto hereditary monarchy - just like the shah that they overthrew. Corruption, a struggling economy, and repression have led to wide protests, the last ones being triggered by the death in prison of Mahsa Amini after her arrest for hijab violations in 2022. If the people are further enraged by this, it might cause even larger protests and those outside the entrenched elite feel there is no hope of improvement economically, socially, and/or religiously.
Thanks fir the question, Anon.

“FOR THE DEFENSE OF THE REVOLUTION AND THE FATHERLAND!”
Tumblr media
"The heroic people of Afghanistan are fighting for a new life in difficult conditions. Imperialism launched an undeclared war against the young republic."
Tumblr media
"Thousands of mercenaries and bandits are sowing death and destruction, using the help of American imperialism, as well as other accomplices of aggression, who spare no expense in recruiting and arming counter-revolutionaries. Pakistan became the springboard for aggression, where dozens of bases for training mercenaries and murderers were created."
Tumblr media
"These interventionist bandits are referred to by Washington officials as “freedom fighters”, “zealots of Afghan identity”, they are supplied with an abundance of weapons, including grenade launchers, anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft missile systems, recoilless rifles, chemical ammunition. And now they are already boasting about it. Resolutions are being introduced in the US Congress calling for expanded assistance and support for the mercenaries of imperialism."
Tumblr media
"“The revolution is in danger!” - this call raised and united the patriots. Volunteer units for the defense of the revolution operate throughout the country. The workers, students, and peasants included in them participate in the protection of public buildings, factories, power plants, in maintaining order, and assist in the work of the police."
Tumblr media
"The undeclared war against revolutionary Afghanistan is part of the crimes of the imperialist reaction against the liberation and peace-loving forces. It is meeting decisive resistance from the Afghan people and their army. Democratic Afghanistan and its friends will be able to stand up for their interests, will be able to defend the country’s right to independence and independence, to social progress. The cause of defending the Motherland and the Revolution is in good hands. DRA patriots do not spare their lives to protect the future!"
Tumblr media
"The PDPA considers it its sacred duty and duty, like the apple of its eye, to protect the security of its Fatherland - beloved Afghanistan, to protect the gains of the revolution, the life and peaceful work of its compatriots. For these purposes and to decisively suppress the attempts of the imperialist forces and their allies to take away the dearly won freedom of our people, the PDPA will constantly keep at the center of its attention the issues of comprehensively strengthening the Armed Forces of the Republic, increasing their combat capability and combat readiness. The PDPA and the revolutionary government will firmly pursue the line of transforming the Armed Forces into a reliable shield of the revolution and its conquests, into devoted servants of their proud and hardworking people, to rally personnel around the PDPA and the DRA government, to educate soldiers in the spirit of courage, bravery, heroism and boundless devotion to the ideals of the revolution."

Operation Nestled Dragon
Tumblr media
Even before the passage of its iconic Transport Act 1947, the first Attlee ministry had been laying the groundwork for what we would today call a strategic steam reserve. Operation Nestled Dragon, which went into effect as early as December 1945, called for “at least 4,000” steam locomotives to be stored and kept in constant readiness in the event of “any cataclysm which could strain supply.” This was a somewhat arbitrary number; the LMS alone had 8,000 locomotives on the eve of Nationalization. It was believed that a majority of the country’s engines would survive attack during a wartime scenario, the most likely reason to activate the reserve at the time. 4,000 engines kept as a backup to unscathed stock was deemed sufficient. (It has to be said there were no strategic reserves of coaches or trucks, whether planned or even merely discussed!)
These engines and the necessary facilities would be dispersed as needed throughout the country. Bigger towns would have more engines and more MPDs (motive power depots) allocated to them, London having the most. The number of engines kept in a single “strategic MPD” was always limited to 20. In this way, an attack such as an aerial bombardment would be less likely to take out a population center’s entire locomotive stud at once.
To “activate” the reserve, the Minister of Transport was required to approach the Prime Minister and his Cabinet, and a vote be held on the matter.
Strategic MPDs could be crude or elaborate. By design they were severed from the nearest railway, so that no tracks were visible for any overcurious trespasser, potential spies or reconnaissance aircraft to follow. Every MPD had to be able to have these missing rails laid back in “within or under three hours” if called upon. Often, abandoned mines and tunnels were used and their insides fitted out. These ‘naturally-occurring’ locations were codenamed “dragon’s lairs.” Other times a location had to be built from scratch; these artificial MPDs were codenamed “rabbitholes.” Always was there emphasis on keeping the MPDs dry, ventilated and fireproof. Each MPD needed a turntable, a reliable water supply, coal bunkers, storage space for rails, sleepers, a small number of spare parts, adequate headroom and an overhead crane for heavy repairs like boiler swaps, and of course bunks for crews should the reserve be activated and they be based there. Otherwise bunkrooms were vacant, although men on duty for maintenance of stock and depots did find use for them during their shifts.
There was little methodology in place for which engine classes were preferred for the reserve. Great Western engines were less favored as they were built to run on high-quality South Welsh coal, and it was assumed the quality of coal sourced during a crisis would be poor. In any event however, some still “found their way in.” In general however, Eastern, Midland and ex-WD locos formed the majority of the workforce. Every engine belonging to the various military railways such as that at Longmoor were considered part of the reserve too, so it could be said that several pieces of the reserve’s stock were out in the open all along. Also joining their ranks as they came about were BR Standard classes, some built specifically for the reserve. These had neither BR nor serial numbers, being built “off the books.”
At first, engines reserved were simply stored and maintained in the livery they wore at the time of their “reassignment.” As time went on, (and their maintainers became bored,) a semi-official livery of black with white and navy blue stripes was settled upon and applied, one engine at a time. Quickly a crest for the Strategic Reserve was designed by one anonymous artistic crewman, and the reserve’s motto agreed: “Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit,” a superstitious British phrase.
Attlee and Churchill were both said to have toured a strategic MPD at least once. “Here we are in the belly of the beast. You lot have done some splendid work; Britain thanks you,” Attlee had said on his visit. “Men will do anything to play trains away from the wife without interrogation,” Churchill remarked on his, perhaps half in jest.
Thus was the system. As steam on the public or “civilian” British Railways was phased out, further freshly withdrawn engines were added to the reserve stocklist. Much speculation was made as to why coal bunkers and hoppers and water towers continued to be maintained even as the steam engines finally vanished from the national network in August 1968. This was explained away as infrastructure left in place for railtours by preserved engines, and in hindsight must have sounded ridiculous.
As generations of enginemen retired, they had to pass on their skills to the fresh blood. The years then went by without significant cause for alarm. The closest the reserve came to being activated was at the height of the Cuban Missile Crisis in late October 1962; declassified materials confirm that as many as half of the reserve was in full steam awaiting the call, and track gangs were ready and waiting to lay in rails. The crisis ebbed of course, and by the second week of November, the number of engines idle was back to “Normal.”
Margaret Thatcher’s Government planned to shut the program down, but this was averted… just. John Major however couldn’t be dissuaded. Privatization was in full swing, and the Soviet Union had dissolved itself. The reserve suddenly seemed very redundant, (but per its own 1945 definition, not completely,) and the winding down of it all began. On the 1st of December 1998, some 53 years after the beginning of Operation Nestled Dragon, all 4,855 locomotives and their associated depots and crews were demobilized by the Blair ministry and most of the reserve’s documentation declassified. Everything became public knowledge, including the engines themselves, quite literally overnight.
At once, the locos and their facilities were up for auction. Dozens of Strategic MPDs were made into living museums demonstrating how the reserve worked. Many of the engines belonged to classes otherwise thought extinct, such as the LNER Thompson L1s and the LMS Garratts, and here were surviving specimens being pulled out of the metaphorical wardrobe like nothing. The British preservation scene was in a matter of hours awash in perfectly functional engines no one expected to still exist, which coupled together in a line were longer than most if not all of the railways themselves! Several also were sold abroad to the United States and Canada.
The public couldn’t be blamed for this all being such a shock. They hadn’t been prepared.
Their predecessors however certainly were.

Dutch lawyers demand halt export of F-35 fighter jet parts to Israel
Human rights lawyers appealed to the Dutch court on Monday to stop the export to Israel of fighter jet parts that could be used in attacks on the Gaza Strip, AP News reported.
The organisations claim that the supply of spare parts for F-35 aircraft makes the Netherlands complicit in alleged war crimes committed by Israel in its war against Hamas. The lawyers are requesting that the Hague District Court issue an injunction prohibiting the export of the parts stored in a warehouse located in the town of Woensdrecht.
The state must immediately stop the delivery of F-35 parts to Israel.
Citing government documents, lawyer Liesbeth Zegveld reported that Dutch customs asked the government if it wanted to continue exports after the October 7 Hamas attacks that triggered military conflict in the Middle East.
“The warning that the fighter jets can contribute to serious breaches of the laws of war does not, for the [Dutch] state, outweigh its economic interests and diplomatic reputation.”

Surplus A-10 Warthogs Could End Up In The Jordanian Air Force
If Jordan is truly interested in the A-10s it would boost its ground-attack capacity and it could open the door to transfers elsewhere.
Joseph Trevithick Updated on Jul 10, 2024 1:37 PM EDT
The Senate Armed Services Committee has directed the Pentagon to look into the possibility of transferring retired A-10 Warthog ground attack jets to Jordan.
USAF
Jordan has emerged as a possible future operator of A-10 Warthog ground attack aircraft. The U.S. Air Force is planning to stop flying the venerable Warthogs operationally before the end of the decade. The impending retirement of the type in U.S. service has already prompted discussions about sending A-10s elsewhere, including to Ukraine.
On Monday, the Senate Armed Services Committee formally directed the Pentagon to look into transferring A-10s to Jordan. This came in a report accompanying a new draft of the annual defense policy bill, or National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), for the upcoming 2025 Fiscal Year. As of the beginning of the year, the Air Force still had around 218 A-10s in service spread across active duty, reserve, and Air National Guard units.
Tumblr media

Specifically, “the committee directs the Secretary of Defense to report to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives, not later than February 1, 2025, on the feasibility and advisability of transferring retiring A-10 aircraft to Jordan,” the Senate Armed Services Committee’s report says. “The report should include an analysis of Jordan’s ability to maintain the aircraft on their own.”
How active Jordan’s interest in acquiring A-10s might be and when the country first started eyeing the Warthogs is unknown, but it is hard to imagine this matter being raised at all if there wasn’t a real desire for the aircraft. The War Zone has reached out to the Jordanian government for more information. Before the Senate published its recent report, Colombia and Ukraine were the only countries known to have expressed interest on any level in acquiring A-10s in the past.
At a hearing before members of the House Armed Services Committee in April, Secretary of the Air Force Frank Kendall did mention that he was aware of one country that had expressed interest in potentially acquiring A-10s, but that he was not aware of any active discussions in this regard at that time. At that same hearing, he also alluded to the country in question not being Ukraine. The Air Force declined to identify the country Kendall was referring to in response to subsequent questions from The War Zone.
Ukrainian authorities very publicly looked into getting A-10s soon after Russia launched its all-out invasion in February 2022. At that time, U.S. officials pushed back on that request, citing the general condition of the approximately 100 Warthogs then in storage. Many of the A-10s then in storage at the boneyard at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Arizona, especially dozens of older A variants, are non-flyable and could not be reasonably returned to service due to heavy cannibalization for spare parts over the years. The Warthog has been out of production since 1984, which has created supply chain complexities for the aging jets. There is also a question of what it would take to train pilots to fly these aircraft and maintainers to support them.
Tumblr media

At the same time, as the Air Force now moves toward retiring its A-10s for good, the Warthogs going to the Bone Yard will include newer A-10Cs that have received significant life-extension modifications, including new reinforced wings, and other deep upgrades in recent years. Best known for its iconic 30mm GAU-8/A Avenger cannon, the Warthog today is a capable precision strike platform that can employ a broad array of munitions. The GBU-39/B Small Diameter Bomb (SDB) just got added to the jet’s arsenal last year. The aircraft also still retains the design’s other trademark features, including its ability to loiter over particular areas for extended periods of time.

For Jordan, a major U.S. ally in the Middle East in counter-terrorism and other operations, A-10s could give its Air Force a valuable boost in close air support and general air-to-ground capabilities if the jets can be reasonably sustained. Jordan is also currently actively engaged in a counter-drug campaign along its border with Syria, which has reportedly involved air strikes. The Warthogs are particularly well suited to supporting lower-intensity operations in permissive airspace and could also be used to conduct armed surveillance and border patrol missions.
The Royal Jordanian Air Force’s fixed-wing aerial combat fleets currently consist of nearly 60 F-16AM/BM Viper fighters and smaller numbers of turboprop light attack aircraft. Some years ago now, the country put its pocket fleet of CN-235 and C-295 cargo aircraft that have been converted into gunships up for sale and the current status of those aircraft is unclear. As such, the infusion of A-10s could also expand the service’s ground attack capacity, which could help free up the F-16s for other missions, including against aerial threats. Just in April, Jordanian F-16s shot down a number of Iranian drones headed toward Israel as part of larger reprisal strikes.

“The committee appreciates the long-standing alliance between the United States and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan… The committee commends Jordan for [the] defense of its air space [against Iranian threats headed for Israel] on the night of April 13, 2024,” a separate section of the Senate Armed Services Committee’s recently released report says. “The committee also recognizes the need for additional critical capabilities, including F-16 aircraft, to counter growing air threats, including unmanned aerial systems, within Jordan and across the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility.”
Jordan is currently in the process of acquiring a dozen new Block 70 F-16C/D Vipers.
A further section in the report also calls on the Pentagon to help Jordan otherwise expand its air and missile defenses with a particular focus on countering threats from Iran and its regional proxies.
Whether or not the Pentagon ultimately concludes that it would be both feasible and advisable to transfer A-10s to Jordan, or if the country actively pursues the acquisition of Warthogs regardless, remains to be seen. The Senate just raising the possibility of sending A-10s to Jordan could well reignite discussions about other potential future operators, especially Ukraine. Other interested parties could emerge if a fleet of Jordanian A-10s looks increasingly viable.
If nothing else, the Senate’s recently published report points to the potential for a new chapter in the A-10’s story even as the Air Force moves to retire the Warthog before 2030.
If it is deemed to be workable, sending A-10s to Jordan could be a welcome addition to that country’s air force that also opens up new possibilities for the Warthogs after they leave Air Force service.

Aviation Lubricant Market — Forecast(2024–2030)
Aviation Lubricant Market Overview
Tumblr media
Aviation Lubricants are the chemical compounds that provide a fluid barrier between various parts of an aircraft and are used as engine oil, hydraulic fluid, piston engine oil and grease, etc. in aircraft. Hence, these lubricants are either mineral-based which is derived from crude oil, or synthetic-based derived from petroleum, but the most common lubricants used in aircraft are calcium sulfonate and perfluoropolyether which are both synthetic based. Hence drivers for the aviation lubricant market include an increase in the volume of air passenger traffic, an increase in the number of air fleets by airlines, increase in usage of effective aircraft engines such as turbofans engine. However, the major challenge in the aviation lubricant market is that, as the aviation lubricants are derived from crude oil, hence the fluctuating price of crude oil disrupts the manufacturing of lubricants. Hence such disruptions caused by price fluctuation have hampered the growth of the aviation lubricant industry.
As sustainability gains prominence, the aviation lubricant market is witnessing a notable shift towards bio-based lubricants. Manufacturers are increasingly investing in research and development to formulate lubricants derived from renewable resources, reducing environmental impact and meeting stringent regulatory requirements. The aviation lubricant market is experiencing a surge in demand for advanced synthetic lubricants. These high-performance formulations offer superior stability, thermal resistance, and extended service intervals, contributing to enhanced aircraft efficiency and reduced maintenance costs.
COVID-19 Impact
COVID-19 pandemic had negatively impacted the aviation lubricant market on a global level, as the restrictions and lockdown imposed by governments all across the globe caused a shortage of labor, decrease in the supply of spare parts due to import-exports restriction, and shutdown of various production plants. Hence all this hampered the productivity of the aerospace sector and reduced the demand for new aircraft. For instance, as per the 2021 report of the General Aviation Manufacturers Association, the Global business jet deliveries declined 20.4% to 644 aircraft in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As per the 2021 finance report of Boeing, the company saw 40% less funding towards new aircraft deliveries in 2020 compared to 2019, and also the company reduced production of aircrafts 787s & 777s while halting production of 737max. Reduction in the demand and production of new aircraft and halting of maintenance work due to labor shortage reduced the demand for lubricants like grease, engine oil, hydraulic fluids that are used in such aircraft. Hence such reductions in demand negatively impacted the growth of the aviation lubricant industry. However, the industry slowly recovered from the pandemic through government support, debt sales, and cost reduction actions.

Aviation Lubricant Market Challenges
The fluctuating price of crude oil
Lubricant oil is extracted from crude oil after going through a series of processes like sedimentation, fractioning, hence the lube oil collected after these processes is mixed with additives to create base oil which is used in the manufacturing of aviation lubricants like engine oil, piston oil, etc. Hence the price of crude oil keeps fluctuating due to geopolitical, whether or supply chain mishap reasons which disrupt the flow of crude oil to markets. Such disruption leads to irregular production of lubricants thereby causing a misbalance between demand and supply of lubricants. As per the U.S. Energy Information Administration, In 2023, the average price of Brent crude oil was $83 per barrel (b), a $19/b difference after rounding. In 2022, the price was $101/b. With Russia’s crude oil finding homes outside of the EU, global markets adjusted to the new trade dynamics, and demand for crude oil fell short of projections worldwide. Such a decrease in crude oil demand reduced the lubricant output for aircraft thereby negatively impacting the aviation lubricant market.

In short, you have to manage the aircraft so the investment made can be returned to the investors and the commercial aircraft could experience minimal losses.
