The Italian Air Force Has Deployed Six F-35A Jets To Sardinia For Advanced “Omnirole” Training
Six ItAF F-35As out of the eight currently in Italy (two more ones are at Luke Air Force Base in the U.S.) are currently at Decimomannu airbase, in Sardinia, for a 3-week deployment at the local-based RSSTA (Reparto Sperimentale e di Standardizzazione Tiro Aereo – the Air Gunnery Standardization and Experimentation Unit). The aircraft belong to the 13° Gruppo (Squadron) of the 32° Stormo (Wing), from Amendola, in southeastern Italy, that has achieved IOC (Initial Operational Capability) during TLP 18-4, on Nov. 30, 2018.
During the deployment (their third one to the Sardinian base), the Italian stealth jet will carry out various types of training activities, night and day, in coordination with the RSSTA and the Poligono Interforze di Salto di Quirra (Joint Range Salto di Quirra). Thanks to its so-called “omnirole” capabilities, which characterize it as a 5th generation platform compared to the multirole ones of previous generations, the aircraft can simultaneously undertake the whole range of tactical activities that required different types of aircraft in the past: during the same sortie, the pilots can train in a wide variety of missions, including air-to-air engagements, PGMs (Precision Guided Munitions) delivery, ISR (Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance) for data collection and information sharing, CAS (Close Air Support) to land and sea forces; electronic warfare.

At the previous day’s briefing, Yellin’s wingman, 19-year-old 2nd Lt. Philip Schlamberg, had leaned over to him and said, “Captain, if we go, I’m not coming back.” Yellin responded, “What are you talking about?” Schlamberg said, “It’s just a feeling I have.” On the morning of August 14, Yellin told him, “Just stay close on my wing, tuck it in tight, you’ll be OK.” After completing their strafing mission, “Schlamberg was close in on my wing,” Yellin recalled. “I gave him the thumbs-up, he gave me a thumbs-up. I led my flight of four airplanes into some clouds. When I came out of the clouds, he was gone. Nobody heard anything, nobody saw anything. When we landed on Iwo Jima, we found out that while we were strafing, the war had been over for three hours.” Although there would be additional casualties in the coming days, and the war would not officially end until the September 2 Japanese surrender ceremony, Schlamberg was among the very last to die in World War II.

Meines Wissens sind zehn Rüstsätze Luftbetankung für die A400M der Luftwaffe vorgesehen. Die Einrüstung ist später prinzipiell in jeden A400M möglich, man beschafft also keine spezialisierten Tankerversionen. Das gilt zumindest für die Nutzung der Unterflügelpods, es gibt noch eine weitere Option mit einer zentralen Fuselage Refuelling Unit im Frachtraum. Dafür müssten Lfz-seitig gegebenenfalls entsprechende Modifikationen durchgeführt werden (vermutlich an der Rampe). Ob die FRU für die Luftwaffe beschafft wird, entzieht sich meiner Kenntnis.

Foto mit schlechter Qualität, dafür aber mit Seltenheitswert: Tornado mit B61
Mir selber war das Bild bisher nicht bekannt und ich bin jetzt erst darüber gestolpert, obwohl es scheinbar sogar im "Spiegel" war.

USAF Wolfhound uses highway in Latvia
During the night of 10 to 11 May 2022, a USAF C-146A Wolfhound landed and took off on the A9 highway near Biksti, in western Latvia.
Normally based with USAF's 919th Special Operations Wing at Duke Field (FL), the derative of the Dornier Do328 with serial number 12-3085 (construction number 3085), was the first plane that landed on a highway in Latvia. Latvia's A9 highway (by international standards, just a road) near Biksti, in western Latvia, was used as part of the annual US Special Operations Forces training exercise Trojan Footprint. The wingspan of the C-146A is 21 metres, whereas the width of the A9 road is 8.5 metres. To facilitate the landing several road signs were removed so the wings would not hit them. The particular Wolfhound was seen on 12 May heading towards Krakow (Poland) and later on it continued towards Debrecen (Hungary).
The Wolfhound’s primary mission is to provide US Special Operations Command flexible and responsive operational movement of small teams and cargo in support of Theater Special Operations Commands. Airlift missions are conducted by Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) aircrews to prepared and semi-prepared airfields around the world. The C-146A is a twin-engine, high-wing aircraft equipped with a configurable cabin capable of various passenger and cargo combinations, as well as casualty evacuation missions. The aircraft can carry a maximum of 27 passengers, 6,000 pounds of cargo, or up to four patients. Next to the 919th Special Operations Wing, the type is also operated by the 492nd Special Operations Wing, also based at Duke Field. The 492nd SOW organises, trains, educates and equips forces to conduct special operations missions.

Da fehlt die eine oder andere Flagge.
Folierung? Nicht lackiert?
Hier im Video sieht man wie die Folierung angebracht wird:

Folierung? Nicht lackiert?
Billiger. (Ich frage mich übrigens, ob Folierungen nicht eine billige Möglichkeit zur Umtarnung darstellen könnten, je nach Einsatzgebiet.) Möglich ist auch, dass es nicht ganz unproblematisch wäre, die Typhoon umzulackieren. Einige Kanten und Flächen des Flugzeugs sind ja mit radarabsorbierenden Materialien versehen.
Gerade auf militaryimages.net gesehen 
Mit einer digital eingebundenen Iris-T wäre das nicht nötig.
