Another Update on the Modernization of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), this time from Japan, specifically the Japanese News Publication "The Yomiuri Shimbun" who wrote that a new Framework Agreement is now being made for possible further Military Exports by Japan to the Philippines.

These Exports are reportedly the following:

More Radars

The Japan Ground Self-Defense Force (JGSDF) High Mobility Vehicle (HMV)

The Japan Maritime Self Defense Force (JMSDF) Destroyers, of which a Joint Development is being planned

MY NOTES: The JGSDF HMV is likely to be the Toyota Mega Cruiser which is their main HMV as of now. The "Destroyer" Joint Venture could in Fact be the Mogami-class Frigate of which Japan is also discussing a Joint Development with Indonesia.

If so, I'm glad that Japan is also considering a Joint Development with us for it. With these Developments, it looks like Japan is now challenging South Korea (SK) for the supply of Military Assets to the Philippines.

Japanese Military Equipment tend to be quite expensive, though, but with Japan's deep Pockets (not as deep as China's, though), they could help us out in Terms of Loans, much like they do with our Infrastructure.

I thought about making this into a Video, but it has no Specifics thus far, so just let the Greedy, Anti-China-Pro-United States (US) Syndicate Fakks out there on YouTube who have been constantly Mass Reporting and causing the Shadow Banning of my China Videos have a Field Day with the Information instead, then.

I have overflowing Ideas for Videos anyway to the Point I don’t know anymore which ones to make or do first.

Here’s why the SR-71 Blackbird SR-1 Ejection Seat had two loops on the D ring

Two loops on the D ring

SR-71 Blackbird

The SR-71, unofficially known as the “Blackbird,” was a long-range, Mach 3+, strategic reconnaissance aircraft developed from the Lockheed A-12 and YF-12A aircraft.

The first flight of an SR-71 took place on Dec. 22, 1964, and the first SR-71 to enter service was delivered to the 4200th (later 9th) Strategic Reconnaissance Wing at Beale Air Force Base, Calif., in January 1966.

The Blackbird was in a different category from anything that had come before. “Everything had to be invented. Everything,” Skunk Works legendary aircraft designer Kelly Johnson recalled in an interesting article appeared on Lockheed Martin website.

For instance, the Blackbird’s ejection seat (in the form of the Lockheed SR-1 ejection seat) had two loops on the D ring.

Why is that?

SR-1 Ejection Seat

The SR-1 ejection seat is a Lockheed design not much different from the Stanley designed Lockheed C-2 used in the very early A-12 and SR-71 Blackbirds (as can be seen in the cockpit of A-12 06925).

According to The Ejection Site, the D-ring at the front center of the SR-1 ejection seat is cable connected to an initiator under the seat pan.

The cable is spring-mounted to prevent injuries after ejection and before seat separation at which time the cable is severed. When pulled, the initiator gas is routed to the inertia reels to retract the crewman back upright. It is also routed to the foot restraint reels and via a quick disconnect fitting to the canopy removal system.

As the canopy is jettisoned, an initiator in the canopy system is actuated and gas from it is directed back into the seat via another quick disconnect to actuate the gas-operated sequencing system, and to fire the catapult after a 0.3-second delay to allow the canopy to clear the area.

Two loops on the D ring

SR-71 pilot Darryl Greenamyer was as short as Bob Gilliland (another Blackbird driver) was tall. They were both examples of above and under-the-average test pilots hired by Lockheed Skunk Works.

As told by Donn A. Byrnes and Kenneth D. Hurley in their book Blackbird Rising: Birth of an Aviation Legend, when Darrell was placed in the cockpit and the depressurized simulated (this was done by pumping up his pressure suit to 3.5 psi over atmospheric pressure) …

His suit became so rigid that he could not reach the ejection seat loop mounted on the seat between his knees (The D ring) so they made it fit. The result was a second loop that raised above the initial loop.

As seen in the picture below.

Kancolle actually has a ton of lore, it's just almost exclusively WWII pacific theater/Japanese navy facts and it's spread across 300 or so girls. So instead of things like 'here's what abyssals are and why we're fighting them' you get 'hirato has complex feelings about letting a ship she was escorting be sunk by mines and the fact that she currently exists as a minesweeper in the JMSDF' and 'shigure has extreme survivor's guilt after all her fleetmates were sunk in the battle of surigao strait and she's haunted by it even though they're all alive with her as shipgirls'

The Owl House Headcanon on Character's Favorite Japanese Dishes.

Luz Noceda: Okonomiyaki (Hiroshima-Style preferred). She likes it for it is a perfect comforting fusion between pancakes and takoyaki (which she had some bad memory from getting her tongue scrouged by it). Plus, she can choose a variety of fillings, which is great for her neurodivergent vibe (while also easily getting bored).

Amity Blight: Zaru Soba. She'd likely go for a dish that is simple yet defines Japanese elements. She would enjoy it with chunky chopped spring onion, wasabi-infused dipping, and hot tea on a side. After a few years of trying more Japanese dishes, she also got into shio udon and yakisoba. (and yakisoba-based okonomiyaki with her sweetheart)

Willow Park: Kimchi Nabe; full of vegetables, proteins from meat, eggs, mushrooms, tofu, and gochujang-rich kimchi (Giving spiciness and Korean-ness that Willow never realized she needed). She loves her nabe with varieties and large quantities of proteins. Especially chicken-based meatballs (like in sumo wrestler Chanko Nabe), chicken breasts, lean slices of beef, and white tofu. Plus, extra spicy.

Gus Porter: Omurice with ketchup fried rice underneath a blanket of thin and creamy omelet. He prefers creamy demiglace sauce with mushroom and beef stock base, alongside ketchup and a dash of Kewpie mayo. Maybe steamed bacon with low-sodium, crabstick, or fish sausage for the side protein. Plus, he loves Sanrio and doesn't care about locals' eyes upon him enjoying his two plates of My Melody Omurice.(It's kids' size, so two is it).

Hunter Noceda/Park/Daemonne: Kushiyaki, especially those from old-school Yatai stalls. However, he would avoid poultry-based ones (especially the wings, as tributes to his lifesaver, Flapjack) and alcoholic drinks. He usually goes with beef and vegetables on the same stick. His favorite side drink is Ramune or Calpis yogurt drink. He usually has a few pods of salted edamame first, if offered.

Vee Noceda: Shojin Ryori meal from local Zen Buddhist temples. Somehow, she can tastes 'magic' in food, and enjoy talking about spiritual and morality topics with Buddhist monks(and nuns). She usually not paying them by money but doing them some cleaning and arranging the sutra. She sometimes enjoy draining magic from Omamori (Green one is a yum!).

Edalyn Clawthrone: Tantanmen, extra broth, extra noodles, and a few extra pieces of boiled eggs. With rice on the side. After an extreme night (either work, or a party), she carves for carbs, proteins, and spices. Eventually, it becomes her usual comfort dish. Plus, it was worth her two meals and a pretty budget. If she feels extra fancy, maybe some extra meat as well.

Lilith Clawthrone: Kure's JMSDF (Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force)-style Curry Rice, with milk (low-fat, or soya milk) and salad with a light dressing. She prefers a vegetarian version and original taste that serves Japanese maritime forces. She eventually made her own thanks to befriending a friend who was a chef on a Japanese battleship in the Cold War.

King Clawthrone: Set of different sushi varieties. He is into nigiri and maki with a few simple ingredients. He is into a grilled saltwater eel, salted boiled ebi (or tempura-fried), churnchy cucumber, and tamago. Onigiri is also his go-to, but he is not into raw meat.
