- Los noruegos han capturado un buque ruso de investigación y bueno, pues a ver por donde van las cosas.
- De Kamovs y otras cosas... Parece que los surcoreanos sí se han saltado las sanciones contra Rusia con el fin de poder mantener su flota de helicópteros rusos Kamov (la mayor fuera de Rusia) operativos
- Israel y Alemania... Esto es una de las cosas más preocupantes de las extrañas relaciones entre Israel y Alemania. La mala conciencia de Alemania tras lo ocurrido en la Segunda Guerra Mundial trae consigo que accedan a entregar a Israel submarinos muy avanzados preparados para alojar silos en la vela que podrán ser cargados una vez lleguen a Israel con vete a saber qué sistema de armamento, pero probablemente con algún vector ofensivo nuclear.
Por si acaso, es probable que Alemania esté entregando a Israel un SSB, un submarino convencional con misiles balísticos.

The Logistics Nightmare Facing U.S. Warships
Iranian attacks have upended the Navy’s supply chain in the Middle East, causing a strain on the aircraft carriers, destroyers and amphibious ships that are being kept in the region indefinitely.

On a typical U.S. aircraft carrier, 5,000 crew members work around the clock and require up to four meals a day. Although the ships are nuclear-powered, the planes and helicopters flying off them use millions of gallons of fuel each week.

Carriers don’t travel alone. They are protected by destroyers armed with antiaircraft and cruise missiles, together forming what is called a carrier strike group. Those ships also need to be resupplied with food and fuel.

There are currently two carriers and 12 destroyers in the Middle East helping to enforce a blockade of Iranian ports.

They have extra support from a set of three warships known as an amphibious ready group, which hosts an assault force of Marines.

The Navy has about 20 ships in the Middle East, carrying roughly 20,000 sailors and Marines. The logistical challenges are immense: The ships need enough food for more than 420,000 meals and about eight million gallons of fuel each week.

The Navy has operated there for decades and built supply depots throughout the region.
But Iran destroyed a critical Navy logistics base in Bahrain on Feb. 28, the first day of the war, and other ports in the region that can accommodate an aircraft carrier or a supply ship are also within range of Iranian missiles and drones, making them inaccessible.
