The Finnish Air Force will operate from the Hosio and Norvatie highway strips in the #Baana24 road base exercise next week.
Readiness to operate out of a dispersed base network is part of the Finnish Air Force’s mobile battle concept.

🚨SIX U.S REFUELLING AIRCRAFTS ARRIVE IN MIDDLE EAST
As Biden finalizes his plans for U.S. retaliatory strikes against Iran, six USAF KC-135 refueling tankers have started to arrive in the Middle East.
Their arrival raises the prospect of the U.S. launching airstrikes in the next 24 hours.
With mid-air refueling capabilities, a strike force can reach Tehran, although officials expect the strikes to target Iranian assets in Iraq and Syria.

1/ At least 2,500 scientists are reported to have left Russia since the start of the war in Ukraine in February 2022 and the number of published scientific papers has collapsed. This comes as the result of isolation due to sanctions, visa restrictions and state paranoia. ⬇️
