Trump veut-il impressionner Poutine avant le sommet : 2 bombardiers stratégiques américains B-2A Spirit ont atterrit à Elmendorf (Alaska)

La veille du sommet entre Donald Trump et Vladimir Poutine, deux bombardiers stratégiques B-2A Spirit américains ont atterri sur la base aérienne d’Elmendorf (Alaska, États-Unis). Leur présence s’explique par leur probable participation à l’exercice Arctic Edge 2025 mais peut-être également au profit de la délégation américaine lors des discussions : chaque symbole est important en diplomatie !

Jetzt weiß ich wieder, wo ich den Namen #Elmendorf zum ersten Mal gehört habe. Es war in #Wargames.

Hoffentlich ist das kein schlechtes Omen. #Alaska

I found this video today (it’s been on YouTube awhile) offering more technical info on the #ANFLR9 #ElephantCage #antenna than you’ll find anywhere without doing a lot of reading. The presentation includes this graphic, which is the first I’ve seen comparing the size of an #ElephantCageAntenna to the size of the U.S. Pentagon: https://youtu.be/4sgAGWPNSUQ
