🇮🇷 Satellite images analyzed by the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) reveal increasing activity at Pickaxe Mountain south of the bombed Natanz Fuel Enrichment Plant (NFEP), under which a nuclear facility is buried.
Iran started working on the facility in 2020 to have a more modern and larger Centrifuge Assembly Hall (CAH). CSIS analysis determined that Iran has constructed a security wall around the entire perimeter of the site. There are tunnels to the west, east, and south of the site, with the western and eastern tunnels recently extended.
CSIS suggests that Iran maybe (1) willing to continue the initial plan of constructing a CAH, (2) expanding the scope of the mission at Pickaxe Mountain, pushing activities like metallurgy, which was destroyed in Isfahan, into the Pickaxe Mountain facility, or (3) pursuing a clandestine uranium enrichment facility with the hopes that this facility could enrich Iran’s existing stockpile of 400 kg of 60 percent enriched uranium.

🇧🇪 For the second time this weekend, three “large” unidentified drones were spotted last night over Kleine Brogel Air Base in Belgium, which houses F-16AM/BMs with the 10th Tactical Wing of the Belgian Air Force and B61 Nuclear Bombs maintained by the U.S. Air Force’s 701st Munition Support Squadron.
According to the Belgian Defense Ministry, the drones flew in a way which clearly suggested they were “targeting” Kleine Brogel. A drone jammer was deployed but failing to disrupt the drones, while police and a helicopter tracked the drones but lost them several kilometers from Kleine Brogel.

🇺🇦🇷🇺 According to Ukrainian expert Sergey Flash, Ukrainian pilots of interceptor drones lately report seeing Russian Shahed-136/238 UAVs flying without visible CRPA antennas (Controlled Reception Pattern Antennas manufactured by China & used to resist jamming).
According to him, Russians removed the CRPAs from the wings and moved them inside the UAVs to the center by modifying their airframes, noting that they can’t jam such antennas with their existing Electronic Warfare (EW) systems everywhere across the country.

🇺🇸 Someone was observed sending “REJECT FASCISM” within METAR messages used for weather reporting for ATCs and pilots in Hartsfield‑Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
🇺🇸 US Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy: “Good catch. We looked into this and the version you saw was edited after it left our system and went to a third-party app. Someone with access to that app then modified it.
See below for what we actually sent out. The comments were not displayed on any official FAA METAR reports. We’ll continue to investigate this to determine who needs to be held accountable for politicizing aviation safety.”
