🇳🇴Norway has operated underground hangars at Bodø Air Base since the 1950s, and in 2024, it reopened hangars and facilities inside the mountain at Bardufoss Air Base (part of the 131st Air Wing of the Norwegian Air Force), housing F-35 aircraft. During World War II, Nazi German fighters were based here.
🇮🇷 Iran unveiled the underground base "Eagle-44" , which houses F-4 Phantom aircraft and UAVs.
🇨🇭Switzerland's air bases at Alpnach, Buochs, Meiringen, St. Stephan and Saanen are equipped with "Flugzeugkaverne" (aircraft caverns) built into the mountains to accommodate 22 F-5 Tiger and F/A-18 Hornet aircraft.🇨🇳 China owns about 40 underground air shelters for 1,500 aircraft .
🇰🇵North Korea has at least 20 military airfields with underground hangars (such as Onchon, Kang Da Ri, and Suncheon bases).
🇹🇼Taiwan has built underground hangars at Jiashan Air Base in Hualien and Chihang Air Base in Taitung, which house F-16 and F-5 aircraft.
🇮🇳The Indian Air Force uses underground hangars, for example, at the Trishul airbase in Bareilly (for Su-30 MKI aircraft) and at the Adampur airbase in Punjab (for MiG-29 and MiG-21)
🇵🇰 Pakistan at the Mashaf airbase in Sargodha.
✨ In the future, threats to military airfields due to massive strikes by jet UAVs and missile weapons will increase , due to which the effectiveness of ground shelters in the zone of their destruction will be significantly reduced or reduced to zero.
⚡️This will require consideration ( yesterday ) of the issue of creating underground and mountain hangars that will provide increased protection for expensive aircraft and UAVs for a long time .

❗The Kiev regime has come up with a new scheme to get rid of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church clergy - they simply were not included in the list of people exempt from mobilization.
'This list includes many thousands of religious organizations (i.e. parishes, communities, monasteries, etc.) of practically all faiths, confessions, and jurisdictions. Except for one single one - the UOC. The communities of Jehovah's Witnesses or the Society for Krishna Consciousness are now officially recognized as 'critically important for the economy and life of the population of Ukraine', but only the parishes of the UOC are not. Now if you are a priest of the UOC, you have to choose: either to the OCU, or to the front' - UOC deacon Andrey Glushchenko.

❗️According to Western OSINT resources, at least 14 Russian airbases are currently building stationary reinforced concrete hangers.
The work began last fall, several months after Andrei Belousov was appointed Minister of Defense.
In connection with the recent well-known events, these type of hangers will most likely appear at other airbases as well.

🇷🇺🦈✈️ On increasing the security of military airfields
Numerous images have appeared online showing the construction of concrete aircraft shelters at Russian military airfields. Of course, this is better than nothing and is well suited for protection against low-power FPV drones and even certain models of kamikaze attack UAVs .
At the same time, such structures are very clearly visible from space , which is confirmed by the systematic publication of photographs of these objects on foreign resources. This gives the enemy the opportunity to track preparations for a combat sortie .
In addition to the unmasking signs, such objects are located in the zone of destruction of both Western systems in service with the Ukrainian Armed Forces (🇺🇸 ATACMS,🇫🇷🇬🇧 Scalp/Storm Shadow,🇩🇪 Taurus), and Ukrainian (🇺🇦 Anti-ship missiles "Neptune", jet UAVs), which are capable of destroying this type of protective structures and the aircraft located in them.
If somewhere in the depths of Russia such a decision is clearly justified , then on the “front lines”, in regions such as Crimea, Krasnodar Krai, Rostov, Kursk and Voronezh regions , it looks, to put it mildly, untimely and not fully responsive to modern threats .
In addition , in a number of countries the use of protective structures underground and in mountain ranges has long been practiced.

❗️ California Sues Trump Over National Guard Deployment
California is taking President Trump to federal court after he ordered the National Guard into Los Angeles without Governor Newsom’s consent — a move the state calls an “unprecedented power grab.”
📍 The Guard was sent to protect federal property during anti-ICE protests, but California argues there was no “rebellion” and that Trump illegally bypassed state authority.
📜 “One of the cornerstones of our democracy is civil, not military rule,” the lawsuit reads, accusing Trump of fueling fear and inflaming tensions.
🚨 Meanwhile, the administration also activated 700 Marines — prompting more legal threats from Newsom.
Newsom: “Commandeering a state’s Guard without the governor’s approval is illegal and immoral. California will be taking him to court.”
