CimaleX informed us on new events from the Iranian connection mini campaign.
Further disturbing news coming from the island of Quesh-Kibrul, Strait of Hormuz, the Persian Gulf. The Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force (IRIAF) said they had shot down an unmanned MQ-9 Predator within its airspace. Yesterday during naval maneuvers in the Strait of Hormuz, an Iranian F-14 fighters took off from the IRIAF base of Bandar Abbas to intercept an intruder penetrated into Iranian airspace, at about 14:15 the aircraft, a Predator UAV was shot down within Iranian territorial waters. It was shown a picture of the moment of interception of the unmanned aircraft from the IRIAF F-14 cockpit.
Again there was no statement from the Pentagon, but unofficial sources believe that in fact the unmanned aircraft was flying over international waters during a US monitoring mission of the Iranian naval maneuvers. In the second picture the F-14 crew pose in front of their fighter.
Meanwhile the Iranian exercise called "Al-Faw 2010" continues with the addition of a further frigate and two Kilo class submarines. Both the Pentagon and NATO for the moment do not seem willing to increase their military presence on the island.

1longtime has released an Yoma AddOnSync tool for LINUX on the BI-Forums.
I've written a PHP script to sync a Linux based Arma2 server to a Yoma repository. It downloads an AddOnSync "manifest" file (some .7z), parses it for mod files, checks if they've changed, and if so it will delete the stale file and re-download the new one. This is essentially what AddOnSync does. This is useful for repositories that do not allow anonymous FTP or do not have a proper "rsync" server for sync'ed updates.

CimaleX has informed us about some upcoming hot stuff from the Strait of Hormuz area . Stay tuned! AAN Breaking news coming from the Strait of Hormuz.
Yesterday the islamic republic iranian navy and the air force have a started military exercise in the Strait of Hormuz sending part of the fleet from the naval base of Bandar Abbas. A destroyer (D-76 Jamaran) and a frigate (F-73 Sabalan) together with a supply vessel (Replenishment vessel Kharg) and a corvette (F-82 Admiral Naghdi) have left Bandar Abbas cruising towards the Quesh Kibrul islands and violating repeatetly their territorial waters. Quesh Kibrul is a tiny archipelago just in the middle of the Strait of Hormuz, once a France protectorate, its soveireignity have been disputed between Oman and U.A.E.
Both the reigns have had ties with the islands from centuries, and in recent times the islands have gained indipendence despite the claims of the islamic republic of Iran and Oman. US NATO and Australia keep a garrison in the islands of the size of a battallion since the first Gulf war with the purpose of monitoring the potentially aggressive moves of the iranian navy despite its relatively modest potential. Nevertheless, with its ability to affect the transport of oil through the Strait of Hormuz it has the potential to disrupt the world economy.
In the picture a group of US officials watch two iranian warships cruising well inside Quesh Kibrul waters overflown by an Agusta-Bell 212 ASW helicopter. A former protest have been sent to the Islamic Republic of Iran both from the Quesh Kibruli Al Amiri and the U.S. Departments of State. Alex Kment - AAN news
