“The F-15QA aircraft is the most advanced version of the fighter ever built. It brings to its operators next-generation technologies such as fly-by-wire flight controls, digital cockpit, modernized sensors, radar, and electronic warfare capabilities, and the world’s fastest mission computer. Increases in reliability, sustainability and maintainability allow defense operators to affordably remain ahead of current and evolving threats. The F-15QA’s advances will enable it to bolster the U.S. and allied coalition’s ability to project lethal force and protect allied forces and locations.”-Boeing

Essentially, the F-15QA is a Qatari version of the new F-15EX.

On 14MAR2023, the military leaders of the Qatar Emiri Air Force paid a visit to Mountain Home Air Force Base (AFB), in Southern Idaho.  The purpose of the visit was to scout-out a new U.S. based home for a Qatari Air Force unit!

Establishing a Qatari military unit on a U.S. Air Force (USAF) base inside the United States is known as the Qatar Emiri Air Force Bed-down Proposal.

This is connected to Qatar’s recent purchase of the new Boeing F-15QA.  The F-15QA is a new Eagle built specifically for Qatar.  In 2017, Qatar ordered 36 F-15QAs.  It is also known as the Falcon-5.

The USAF issued an environmental report claiming that the additional F-15s (Singapore operates F-15SGs from Mountain Home) will have “no significant impact” on the local ecology.  However, a final decision on where to ‘beddown’ the new Qatari F-15QA/Falcon-5 unit has not been made.

In 2021, Qatar began receiving some of its new F-15QA/Falcon-5 aircraft.

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, August 2020: Contract awarded for Falcon 5/F-15 Beddown, State of Qatar. The air base facilities contract award amount was $524-million-416-thousand-9-hundred. This is apparently for the F-15QAs that are being based inside Qatar. The contract was through the Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program, which is subsidized by U.S. taxpayers.

Cold War to Ukraine Crisis: AMX-10RCR

Video

Cold War: Approximately 1947 (due to U.S. President Harry Truman’s Truman Doctrine) to 1991 (Operation Desert Storm, collapse of Soviet Union).

From U.S. Army Graphic Training Aid, Armored Vehicle Recognition, 1987.

Depending on your source of information, France has been using the AMX-10RC since 1979 or 1981. One source says development began in 1970, with the first French unit getting its AMX-10RCs between 1981 and 1982.

From U.S. Army Graphic Training Aid, Armored Vehicle Recognition, 1987.

I think it is strange that information on this armored car is so conflicting, and it is strange that I cannot find any images of in-service AMX-10RCs prior to Operation Desert Storm.

The RC stands for Roues-Canon, in English it means Wheeled-Cannon.  It was made by a company called GIAT Industries (now called Nexter Systems).

Beginning in 2005, France began upgrading their AMX-10RCs, changing the name to AMX-10RCR, the extra R stands for Renove, meaning renovated in English.

America Spread Thin: West Asia, April 2018

Video

West Asia, or as the U.S. Department of Defense calls it Southwest Asia.  Iran, Iraq and Turkey are sometimes considered part of West Asia and sometimes Central Asia.  I consider Iraq and Turkey part of West Asia and Iran is part of Central Asia.

The following is a smidgen of what the United States is involved in, in the Middle East, during April 2018:

On 04APR2018 an honor guard from MacDill Air Force Base, Florida, receive the body of Major Andreas B. O’Keeffe, who was killed in Iraq while flying an HH-60 Pave Hawk for the 106th Rescue Wing.

At Patrick Air Force Base, Florida, the body of para-rescueman Master Sergeant William Posch, killed in Iraq, was brought home:

Another Florida resident, Staff Sergeant Carl Enis, was also killed in Iraq.

At Fort Shafter, Hawaii, 47 USA (U.S.Army) personnel with the 8th Human Resources Sustainment Center, 8th Theater Sustainment Command, returned from supporting ops in Qatar, Kuwait, Iraq and Afghanistan.

On 15APR2018, the Louisiana Air National Guard honored 16 Airmen from the 259th Air Traffic Control Squadron for their service in Iraq: “These 16 Airmen went over there and basically took charge of airfield operations. They did an outstanding job delivering sorties and increasing the payload of goods coming in and out to support our warfighters. The thing that impressed me is that they increased the MedEvac time by 75%!”-Major General Glenn Curtis

North Carolina Army National Guard‘s 449th Combat Aviation Brigade, along with British empire United Kingdom-NATO personnel, conduct aeromedical evacuation (MedEvac) training at Camp Taji, Iraq.   The North Carolina National Guard, and Vanderbilt University, donated medical books to the Iraqi Army Hospital, Camp Taji, at the end of March.

Between the end of March and beginning of April, about 285 personnel from Ohio National Guard‘s 2nd Battalion, 174th Air Defense Artillery Regiment, returned from a year-long deployment to Afghanistan and Iraq.

At Fort Hood, Texas, the U.S. Army 3rd Cavalry Regiment deploying to Iraq:

World War 3: Iraq has proof Islamic State issued Chinese guided anti-aircraft missiles from U.S. backed Qatar!

10 October 2014 (03:08 UTC-07 Tango)/15 Dhu l-Hijja 1435/18 Mehr 1393/17 Jia-Xu 4712

Iraq’s Ministry of Defense reports that one of their Russian made Mil Mi-35M Hind gunships was shot down by so called Islamic State insurgents, with guided missiles given to them by U.S. ally Qatar!  Also, a U.S. made Bell 407 was shot down!

The missiles are made in China and are called FN-6.

VIDEO OF SYRIAN INSURGENTS SHOOTING DOWN HELICOPTER WITH FN-6, AT THE END OF THE VIDEO AN INSURGENT EXPLAINS THE MISSILE

https://youtu.be/vGC_xHUzzM8

Reports say Qatar delivered two shipments of Chinese FN-6 missiles to Islamic State in Syria, where U.S. backed anti-Syrian government insurgents used them to shoot down Syrian aircraft.  Today’s report from Iraq (and published by Jane’s) is the first time Iraqi aircraft have been shot down by Islamic State using Chinese missiles supplied by U.S. allies.

The Iraqi Mi-35M was shot down on 03 October 2014, and the Iraqi Bell 407 was shot down on 08 October.  The U.S. created ‘Islamic State’ has also posted pics of their Iraqi shoot downs to the internet.

World War 3, West Asian Front: Korea ships ballistic missiles to Syria! Japan to join fight! It is about regime change!

Japanese news media reporting that government sources from Japan and Republic of Korea (aka South Korea) say Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (aka North Korea) shipped 40 new short range ballistic missiles to Syria earlier this year.

U.S. sources say Syria is planning on using the missiles on Israel if it is attacked.

Japan’s Chief Cabinet Secretary, Yoshihide Suga, said his country is working with United States on future attacks against Syria.

And Japan’s neo-imperialist Prime Minister, Shinzo Abe, is in Qatar for security meetings with Arabian peninsula countries.  He told local news media that military action against Syria should be about regime change.   The emir of Qatar, Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani, agreed.

World War 3, West Asian Front: Iran preps to invade Syria? Israel trafficking arms to al Qaeda?

17 June 2013 (19:16 UTC-07 Tango 16 June 2013)/08 Sha’ban 1434/27 Khordad 1391/10 Wu-Wu (5th month) 4711

The British newspaper, The Independent, has a long winded article who’s only claim is “….that a military decision has been taken in Iran – even before last week’s presidential election – to send a first contingent of 4,000 Iranian Revolutionary Guards to Syria…”

The United Kingdom based news outlet claims their source for the info is “…pro-Iranian sources which have been deeply involved in the Islamic Republic’s security.”

There is currently nothing to be found in any Iranian news sources, about such claims.

Iranian news media has been reporting on meetings between Israeli officials, and officials from Qatar, concerning the supply of weapons to U.S. backed al Qaeda insurgents in Syria.  The meeting actually took place in the United Kingdom: “The 4-hour meeting was held in a house in Braum House in London belonging to Khalid a-Abeed, a Qatari citizen residing in Britain, on May 20.  During the meeting, It was decided that Israel prepare and supply the weapons needed by the terrorists in Syria and enter negotiations with European arms manufacturing companies on arms purchases and money transfer methods, and the Qatari side cover the funds and needed budget for purchases.”-Unnamed Qatari security source

World War 3: Qatar joins Saudi Arabia in buying hundreds of German Leopard tanks

29 July 2012, Germany’s Der Spiegel reporting that the Arabian Peninsula country of Qatar offered Germany’s Krauss-Maffei Wegmann $2.46 billion USD for 200 of their latest Leopard main battle tanks (MBT).

A month ago it was revealed that Saudi Arabia was buying 800 Leopard 2A7 tanks, despite many German politicians pointing out that the sale violated Germany’s constitution.  Angela Merkel’s government dismissed such claims, and some politicians said the sale was needed to support Germany’s shrinking economy.

The latest Der Spiegel article says Qatari officials made the offer weeks ago.  Qatar is supporting the invasion of Syria, and was one of the main Arab supporters of the western backed insurgency in Libya.

Angela Merkel’s secretive Federal Security Council has final say regarding such a sale to Qatar, and Der Spiegel says it’s likely it will be approved.

World War 3: Turkey establishes command & control base for the invasion of Syria, Poland closes embassy!

27 July 2012, among warmongering reports from U.S. mainstream media, Poland announces that it has closed its embassy in Syria and is evacuating all Polish nationals!

Up to this point it was the Polish embassy that was acting as the diplomatic representative for the United States.

Reuters is reporting that an unnamed source in Qatar claims that Turkey, a member of U.S. led NATO, has established a command and control base for the invasion of Syria.

The base is located 100 kilometers (62 miles) north of the Syrian border: “It’s the Turks who are militarily controlling it. Turkey is the main coordinator/facilitator. Think of a triangle, with Turkey at the top and Saudi Arabia and Qatar at the bottom.”-unnamed official from Doha, Qatar

The unnamed official also said: “Three governments are supplying weapons: Turkey, Qatar and Saudi Arabia.” And added: “All weapons are from the black market.”

Qatar played a major role in the western war against Libya.

On 24 July 2012, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said: “I have to say that we are also increasing our efforts to assist the opposition.”

Qatar & Iran join forces to extact oil from massive oil field!

“The excavations of oil wells in the South Pars Oil Field will bear fruit soon. Two oil drilling rigs have begun working there and one of them in the joint fields. Drillings of these fields have surpassed the depth of 1,500 meters [4,921 feet] inside the earth…”-Musa Souri, Pars Oil and Gas Company

18 July 2012, Iranian and Qatary oil companies have announced they will join forces to take advantage of the massive South Pars field.

Iran has stated that they will be extracting 35,000 barrels per day (bpd) of oil, but, the Persian Gulf country of Qatar just announced their goal will be 450,000 bpd!
