In 2023, the then-Conservative government awarded Palantir with a £330m contract to “build a new NHS data platform”. The move proved controversial because Palantir is a US spy tech firm and its co-founder Peter Thiel is a prominent Trump donor with links to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Now, a trove of leaked emails have shone further light on Thiel’s connections.

F-16, two missiles, one missed. I think these were the vanguard weather balloons that China sent to test our defenses.

Although to be fair, it looks like more of a giant trash bag.

    I don't know which all aircraft were involved at different points, but there was absolutely a shoot-down by an F-22.

    I don't know anything about this website but it was one of Wikipedia's sources. I remember seeing the pictures/videos with the F-22 clearly visible, plus the noteworthy stats like being the first f-22 kill, being the first engagement over US territory since WW2, and that it was probably the highest air to air kill.
