“The M4A1s are one of our high demand commodities and buying more to support urgent requests will be a good strategic decision.”-U.S. Army Tank-Automotive and Armaments Command – Security Assistance Management Directorate

A load of 1,250 M4A1 assault rifles arrived in Dakar, Senegal, 21JAN2022. It’s part of a larger contract for 5,000 M4A1 ARs and accessories over the next two years. U.S. Army Security Assistance Command photo by Tim Hanson.

The United States is in the midst of delivering 5-thousand M4A1 (descendent of the M16/AR-15) assault rifles (AR) to the African country of Senegal. It is part of Senegal’s desire to replace its worn-out M16A1s.

This is being called a ‘foreign military sale’ yet it was funded through the U.S. Special Defense Acquisition Fund, which is routinely used by the U.S. Army Security Assistance Enterprise to pay for so called foreign military sales. In other words, it is a shell game in which U.S. taxpayers actually pay for another country’s ‘purchase’ of U.S. weapons. And this includes training the other country’s troops on how to use those weapons.

Germany destroys U.S. bombers in Ukraine!

Image February 23, 2022 Hutchins AAron

During the night, the German Luftwaffe destroyed several U.S. bombers on the ground of Poltava Airbase in Ukraine. The U.S. bombers, of the 452nd Bomb Group, had arrived from United Kingdom as part of a ‘shuttle’ mission (aka Shuttle Raid).

The attack took place on 21JUN1944. Interestingly, the U.S. Army’s 8th Air Force claims they did not receive the photo negatives until December 1945, the photos of the destroyed B-17s were not even released in the United States until 22JUL1949, kept secret years after the war ended by the U.S. Air Force Historical Office!

The 8th Air Force was using Poltava Airbase as a rest & recovery area for its bombers and crews, after conducting bombing missions against Germany, and other targets in Eastern Europe, during the Second World War.

According to the Historical Museum of the U.S. Air Force, 21JUN1944 was also the first time B-17s were used for Shuttle Raids. I did find a photo dated April 1944 showing a B-17 on Poltava, but it doesn’t indicate if it was taking part in a Shuttle Raid.

During World War Two, Ukraine was one of the dozens of republics who were part of the Soviet Union, as was Russia.

U.S. Army Air Force personnel gaze at a portrait of Stalin, 04JUN1944.

Joseph Stalin was the leader of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, and at the beginning of 1944 U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt convinced Stalin to allow U.S. combat aircraft to land in the Soviet Union.

Production of the Cold War era MiG-31 (NATO reporting name Foxhound) began in 1979, in February 2022 it was used to launch what the Russians call a hypersonic ballistic missile. MiG-31s converted to carry the ballistic missile are called MiG-31K.

Vehicle I-D: “The Dud Scud” Fake News Ballistic Missile

Image February 20, 2022 Hutchins AAron

During the 1990s, following the end of the non-declared/non-official Cold War, the United States held a yearly massive NATO wargame called Roving Sands, in New Mexico.

U.S. Air Force photo by Technical Sergeant Marv Lynchard, 23APR1995.

One of the many oddities that made an appearance at these war games was the U.S. military’s “The Dud Scud”; a 5-ton dump-truck (some of the info says duce-n-a-half, other info says 5-ton) with ballistic missile looking things mounted on top of the dump-bed. Scud is the NATO reporting name for a Soviet tactical ballistic missile launcher system.

USAF photo by Technical Sergeant Marv Lynchard, 23APR1995.

Of course the Dud Scud doesn’t look anything like a real Scud, they were just meant to simulate a generic ballistic missile launcher.

The Dud Scuds were positioned at various locations across Fort Sumner, New Mexico. USAF photo by Sergeant Nicole Snell, 29APR1995.

Because of the experience of having to hunt down Iraqi Scuds during Desert Storm, NATO exercise Roving Sands incorporated such a scenario into the yearly wargame.

Cold War: Going ‘Gangbusters’ with Texas F-4C & Georgia F-105G!

Air National Guard photo by Airman First Class Sheryl D. Barnett, 10APR1981.

The U.S. National Archives makes available a lot of cool imagery, but unfortunately a lot of the info issued with it is wrong. Can’t blame the National Archives, they simply repost what was given to them, so a lot of the ‘false’ info actually comes from the source; the U.S. Department of Defense. The following is a case-in-point; photos of Cold War era Exercise Gangbuster #11 show both F-4C Phantom-2s and F-105G Thunderchief ‘Wild Weasels’, it lists both aircraft as being with the “128th Tactical Fighter Squadron, 116th Tactical Fighter Wing, Texas Air National Guardsmen”. For the record, the F-4s are part of the Texas Air National Guard but not the 128th TFS/116th TFW, the F-4Cs belong to the 182nd Tactical Fighter Squadron, 149th Tactical Fighter Wing. The F-105Gs are part of the 128th TFS/116th TFW, which is Georgia Air National Guard. In some photos the obvious belly of an F-105G is shown, yet the info says it is an F-4 Phantom II. Also, the exalted U.S. Air Force/National Guard info calls the F-105 the “Delta Dart”! Maybe this was an attempt to deceive the Soviets?

Biden’s War: Is NATO Europe unassing Africa to prep for war with Russia? Why is Russia so interested in Africa?

Video February 20, 2022 Hutchins AAron

To ‘unass’ (un-ass) means the bull-rider gets off the bull, or to get-the-hell-outta Dodge.

In July 2021 I revealed U.S. President Biden’s SECRET NEW AFGHAN-AFRICAN REFUGEE OPERATION. I understood the Afghan part, after almost two decades of not really getting anywhere, spending a hell-of-a-lot of tax dollars and shedding a lot of blood, Biden had approved a sudden withdrawal of U.S./NATO forces from the Central Asian country, but what did the continent of Africa have to do with it?

For almost a decade, NATO Europe has been dealing with a tsunami of migrants coming from Africa. Ironically, it is precisely the European, Canadian and United States NATO ‘peacekeeping’ operations that have ramped-up volatility in central and Northern Africa, to the point that people would rather risk dying during an escape to Europe, than to stay in their home countries. African migrants are even traveling to Colombia, in South America, before starting their long caravans North to the United States.

Since January of this year, it appears that NATO is losing control of the Central African region of the second-largest and second-most populous continent on this planet, with new found resources and potentially the largest economy in the world.

In the past couple of days, NATO France announced it was unassing the African country of Mail, literally telling the government of Mali it was on its own. This involves other NATO European members and NATO Canada.

The area of Africa that NATO is unassing is known as The Sahel. It has long been part of the so called War on Terror against ‘extremists’, but since the beginning of the Gregorian year several countries in that area have experienced military coups.

It also turns out that Russia has increased its operations in The Sahel.

Days ago Biden issued an executive order to steal $7-billion from Afghanistan’s central bank, allegedly to fund his Afghan & African refugee operation!

Does this mean Biden is thinking of a sudden pull-out of U.S. personnel? Recent news releases by the U.S. Department of Defense makes it look like the U.S. is making its Africa operations a permanent deployment.
