🚨 SKYMASTER SIGN?
Shortly after 2 Mercury E6B "doomsday planes" go airborne, an unidentified AIRCRAFT22, likely to be a B52, is heard requesting radio checks.
I'd guess a SKYMASTER EVENT is likely to begin in the next few hours. You'll be able to listen live on my YT channel.
Unfortunately, I have a specialist appointment soon, so probably won't be available if does begin – but remember, just because I'm not posting doesn't mean it's not Happening™

I made a NOTAM mapper that lets you map several airspace reservations at the same time, and easily copy/paste the text. However, despite Twitter's claims otherwise, it really seems to me like posts with external links are throttled, so I'll include the link with the url parameter here as a follw-up reply instead; neetintel.github.io/notam_ma…

On this day last year:
A SKYMASTER EVENT took place on the sixth day of GLOBAL THUNDER 26. Messages for ALPHA FORCE, CHARLIE FORCE, and REGION CHARLIE were heard, as well as brief use of the infamous callsign "SKYKING".

The day ended up passing without additional messages. This is in contrast to the equivalent days of previous GLOBAL THUNDER exercises, which featured follow-up traffic for ALPHA and/or CHARLIE FORCEs.

It's unlikely the day will pass without additional messages. Listen live with your own shortwave radio or on livestreams which will continue through to the end of GT27;

Japan’s government has released its 2026 defense white paper (yes, this is the cover page).
The document directly addresses Japan’s population-driven manpower shortages, drawing on lessons from Ukraine and pitching a force structure highly reliant on drone systems.
Very interesting EAMs this afternoon. I don't think I'll post a timecard until tomorrow or Monday but you should notice something when you look through these;
20:26 – 45 characters
20:31 – 32 characters
20:49 – 40 characters
20:52 – 27 characters

🇷🇺🚀☢️Three weeks after France and three and a half months after China, it is now the Russian Navy's turn to demonstrate the operational and technological credibility of its sea-based nuclear component, with a BULAVA ballistic missile (SLBM) launch expected from a BOREI(-A)-class SSBN, from the Sea of Okhotsk to the Chizha impact area in northeastern Russia.
This launch is very interesting and eagerly awaited for at least two reasons:
- Russian strategic forces usually conduct a major exercise every October. However, a surprise exercise already took place in May this year. The question was (and still is) whether it would replace the October one. This launch could indicate that it did not. That said, we will have to wait to know whether other strategic weapons launches (YARS ICBMs, Kh-102 cruise missiles, etc.) take place over the same period. For now, it's only one launch;
- The BULAVA is the Russian Navy's most recent SLBM and is the delivery vehicle that carries the largest number of operational nuclear warheads in the country's arsenal. Yet it has not been launched since October 2024, while its predecessor, the SINEVA, has been launched several times since then, including last May. Moreover, the latest BOREI-A-class SSBN was commissioned without the usual qualification launch. It is therefore possible that the weapon system (the missile or the submarine) is experiencing technical problems. If successful, the launch planned for next week would therefore reaffirm the technological and operational credibility of this system, which is critical to Russian deterrence.
Wait and see now ⏲️
Navigational Warnings have appeared for what could be a #Russian #Bulava #SLBM test launch, Oct 25-31, from a submarine in the Sea of Ochotsk to Chizha, Kanin Peninsula.

🅱️RAVO FORCE RETURNS ‼️
Last heard a year ago, October 25 features US military radio messages for BRAVO FORCE.
Nuclear command & control exercise GLOBAL THUNDER is proceeding at a pace that suggests a SKYMASTER EVENT will take place October 27 (UTC).
It's unlikely the day will pass without additional messages. Listen live with your own shortwave radio or on livestreams which will continue through to the end of GT27;
