Three things happened while I was going to Australia – The Crowdstrike Event a Houthi drone strike on TelAviv and an Israeli counter-strike on Hodeidah Port.The Crowdstrike failure came from a flawed update in Crowdstrike software. The update was fixed with a patch, but the patch had to be applied manually. The interesting part came from the amount of disinformation that was surrounded the flawed update.The Houthi drone attack against Tel Aviv shows that non-state actors are now able to launch long-range drone attacks with a level of sophistication not seen before. However, these attacks are limited in scope.The Israeli counter-attack against POL storage in Yemen’s Hodeidah Port shows tow things: #1 the need for Tankers in any air force that wants a credible strike capability. #2. Drones might be able to harass, but nation states still own the skies and can inflict a lot of damage if they need to. #3. The F-35/F-15 mix can be a very potent combination.
