Netanyahu’s plane avoided flying over countries that could enforce #icc warrant: Report AJ

⚠️ The aircraft carrying the ISR PM from Hungary to the US flew 400km (248 miles) further than the normal route to avoid the #airspace of several countries that could enforce an arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court, according to the Haaretz newspaper.

Uncontrolled reentries of space objects create a collision 💥 risk with aircraft ✈️ in flight. The highest-density regions have a 0.8% chance per year of being affected.

NatureAirspace closures due to reentering space objects - Scientific ReportsUncontrolled reentries of space objects create a collision risk with aircraft in flight. While the probability of a strike is low, the consequences could be catastrophic. Moreover, the risk is rising due to increases in both reentries and flights. In response, national authorities may choose to preemptively close airspace during reentry events; some have already done so. We determine the probability for a rocket body reentry within airspace over a range of air traffic densities. The highest-density regions, around major airports, have a 0.8% chance per year of being affected by an uncontrolled reentry. This rate rises to 26% for larger but still busy areas of airspace, such as that found in the northeastern United States, northern Europe, or around major cities in the Asia-Pacific region. For a given reentry, the collision risk in the underlying airspace increases with the air traffic density. However, the economic consequences of flight delays also increase should that airspace be closed. This situation puts national authorities in a dilemma—to close airspace or not—with safety and economic implications either way. The collision risk could be mitigated if controlled reentries into the ocean were required for all missions. However, over 2300 rocket bodies are already in orbit and will eventually reenter in an uncontrolled manner. Airspace authorities will face the challenge of uncontrolled reentries for decades to come.

Just days before the crash, #Trump enacted a sweeping shake-up of #FederalAgencies responsible for #aviation #oversight, removing the #TSA admin, David Pekoske, & eliminating ALL members of a key aviation #security advisory group. The #FAA, which regulates airlines & aircraft manufacturers & manages US #airspace, was also w/o leadership at the time of the crash, its top ofcl, Michael Whitaker, stepped down ahead of the new admin’s transition after clashing w/ #ElonMusk.

#Ukraine has received just 10% of US aid approved earlier this year

If you give your word, keep it

Zelensky also said #NATO had promised to provide “six or seven” #AirDefense systems to protect Ukraine’s #airspace

“But today, we haven’t received this number. If we still haven’t received it and we can’t count on this great support for air defense during the heating season, which has already begun in Ukraine… What can we do?”

The Kyiv Independent · Ukraine has received just 10% of US aid approved by Congress earlier this year, Zelensky says"You do your job. You count on reserves, you count on special brigades, you count on such equipment. And if you get 10% of all the package (that) has already been voted on... It's not funny," Zelensky said.

Romania says drone breached its airspace during Russia’s attack on #Ukraine

It is the 2nd time this week Romanian airspace has been violated, following the incident only a day ago, when #Romania and #Belarus scrambled jets in response to targets flying in their #airspace during the Russian #drone attack on Ukraine

On Oct. 19, Romania once again scrambled 2 F-16 fighter jets & 2 Spanish F-18s that are used for air policing missions in the country.

'The Death Trap' Dangerous Jet #CombatTraining Dramatically Increases Over #TohonoOodham Nation

By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, Oct. 17, 2024

SELLS, Arizona -- "The #USMilitary has dramatically increased its dangerous jet combat fighting over the heart of the Tohono O'odham Nation, with combat jets, a private #corporation and a plane labeled as "the death trap," due to safety violations.

"Tohono O'odham who live below say the #SonicBlasts are breaking the plaster in their traditional homes. Dangerous flares endanger all life below, including the #EndangeredSpecies of #SonoranPronghorn and more. With the risk of deadly crashes, Tohono O'odham are at risk below, including those in the community of #Pisinemo this week.

"The U.S. Air Force now plans to expand its dangerous use of the #airspace over Tohono O'odham, #Apache and #Yaqui communities in #Arizona. #SacredPlaces including #BaboquivariPeak on the Tohono O'odham Nation are among those at risk.

"The enormous #Goldwater#ange -- 1.9 million acres in the #SonoranDesert west of the Tohono O'odham Nation -- was set aside for U.S. military training, yet the military is consistently using Tohono O'odham Nation airspace.
The #USAirForce wants to authorize more #supersonic blasts training at lower altitudes. The dangerous expansion includes airspace over #NativeAmericanNations, and scenic regions of Arizona and western #NewMexico."

In #Florida, “the closure of airspace to accommodate commercial #SpaceLaunches 🚀 now happens often enough to noticeably affect #airline 🛫 schedules. The ability to regulate #airspace for safety must meet the increasing 📈 demand on the use of the airspace.”
The #FAA has already been able to reduce 📉 the average amount of time ⌚ that airspace must be closed, from over four hours to just over two hours.
A prototype for the SDI* tool was installed at the FAA Command Center in June 📆 2021. A final investment decision on a streamlined system integrated into existing air traffic systems isn’t expected until 📆 2027 fedscoop.com/faa-space-data-in
