17 years ago on June 1, 2009 flight AF447 disappeared off the coast of Brazil. This anniversary a week after the announcement of the conviction on appeal of Air France and Airbus strangely without EASA also as a defendants. Will post updated personal analysis on Mastodon

The wide body 767 United from Venice to Newark was really far too low last week on his visual approach on Runway 29 (only 2050m long). The consequence was hitting a light pole that felt on the truck (recorded on the driver's cam) but worse could have happen.

The European Commission has taken a bold step (for which it deserves praise) by removing the "Follow us on X" link from its website and replacing it with "Mastodon" A democratic resistance to the numerous attempts at destabilization originating from the X network&Musk's extremism

❝Switzerland ordered some Tomahawks years ago. Now the US said they can't deliver them. So Switzerland said then we won't pay. The US have now seized the funds we paid for the F-35s (which we probably won't get as well) instead.❞ "Trust in the USA is suffering" The development has been poorly received in parliament. "It's infuriating when we halt payments and then the money is simply diverted," srf.ch/news/schweiz/zahlungs… via @srfnews

It is beyond pathetic to watch European jets actively shoot down drones in the Middle East while refusing to do the exact same thing over Ukraine. We are willing to militarily defend airspace on another continent but let a European nation face genocide alone

Possibly related to the Feb, 13 Epic 1000 crash in Steamboat spring (KSBS), Colorado, in an RNAV32 night approach. Garmin reminds that LNAV V provides only a continuous vertical guidance without taking in account terrain avoidance. avbrief.com/garmin-service-a… aviation-safety.net/wikibase…

[ 🇫🇷 FRANCE | 🇺🇦 UKRAINE ] 🔸 Volodymyr Zelensky annonce que l’Ukraine va recevoir de France et tester en conditions réelles dès cette année un nouveau système de défense aérienne : le SAMP/T NG (Nouvelle Génération), version modernisée du système franco-italien. 🔸 Ce système offre des capacités renforcées contre les missiles balistiques, de croisière, les drones et les menaces hypersoniques, avec un radar 360° Ground Fire AESA et des missiles Aster 30 Block 1 NT. 🔸 L’Ukraine devrait être le premier pays au monde à le déployer en combat réel ; jusqu’à 8 batteries (48 lanceurs) sont prévues dans le cadre des accords bilatéraux signés avec Paris. 🔸 Emmanuel Macron a confirmé que ce système, une fois opérationnel, sera prioritairement déployé en Ukraine.

The US stopped giving weapons to Ukraine a year ago and yet Ukraine is taking territory from Russia
In February, the Russian monthly net gains in Ukraine turned negative. Over the whole month, the Russians lost 37 km² of territory in Ukraine. This is the first net loss since November of 2023, and the worst month for Russia in terms of territory since August of 2023. 1/

The chaos in the world is a direct consequence of the Russian attack on Ukraine, said Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. "The explosive situation in the Middle East and drones in the skies over Cyprus are not separate conflicts, but a direct result of the destruction of international law. It all started in Ukraine, when Russia, a permanent member of the UN Security Council, cynically violated the borders of a neighboring country and signaled to the entire world that the rules no longer apply," Meloni remarked in an interview with Tg5. The war in Europe is already underway, and to consider these events "distant" is a dangerous illusion. Without restoring the rule of law, which has been destroyed in Ukraine, the chaos will only worsen, she added. Ukraine Now

The kill switch for Anthropic. Rejecting clauses on the freedom to use Claude for mass surveillance and autonomous weapons, Trump bans Claude as a supplier to the Department of War and, more broadly, to federal agencies. A bombshell in Silicon Valley.

À good ally:-( Europe wake up. Buy European SAMP/T to be sure to be able to defend yourself
Zelenskyy: US promised Europe licenses to produce Patriot missiles — then refused Germany now has no air defense missiles left to give Ukraine. Zelenskyy says it didn't have to be this way: "There were promises of licenses, but America ultimately did not go along with it" euromaidanpress.com/2026/02/…

Europe cannot afford to stay a loose club of vetoes and hesitations. In Leuven, Belgium, Mario Draghi put it clearly: coordinating national interests is not the same as acting as one power. Where Europe has chosen federation – trade, competition, the single market – it is respected and heard. Where it has not – defence, foreign policy, industrial strategy – it is divided and vulnerable. A Union strong on trade but weak on security will always see its strengths used against it. Europe must choose: fragmented nations, or a real European power.
