A beautiful moment of a US Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet passing near the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Nimitz and in close proximity to the helicopter filming.
The aircraft’s passage is accompanied by Prandtl-Glauert phenomena (condensation of atmospheric moisture behind an object moving at transonic speeds) and subsequent breaking of the sound barrier.
These images were taken recently in the South China Sea, where the USS Nimitz carrier strike group is making its presence known.

New images have shown North Korean mine warfare teams operating in the Russian Kursk region, where they are tasked with clearing mines left by Ukrainian and allied Western forces. A Ukrainain-led incursion into Kursk was launched in August 2024, and was decisively repelled only in April the following year with the assistance of the Korean People’s Army. North Korean engineers were seen equipped with Russian VR-2-02 combat uniforms, Saiga-12K shotguns, RPK-74 automatic rifles, AK-74M rifles, and a wide range of mine clearance equipment.
