Presumably they have underground production going on? Almost a century ago Nazi Germany was producing up to 600 V2 rockets a month

The Black War was a period of violent conflict between British colonists and Aboriginal Tasmanians in Tasmania from the mid-1820s to 1832 that precipitated the near-extermination of the indigenous population.

Another one to add to the list, however Aboriginal Tasmanians are still around but for example, the last Aboriginal Tasmanian without European ancestry died in the 1870s

They would have used multiple bases of course, but the actual involvment wasn't clear

It is not clear whether the B-2s landed in Australia before or after their strikes on alleged Houthi weapons bunkers in Yemen, or whether US air force tankers used the bases to refuel the giant bombers.

The ABC initially reported that “A remote Northern Territory air base has been used as a staging post for this week’s major US airstrike on underground Houthi weapons stores in Yemen.”

Later, the ABC added a strange note to the story. It said the Defence Department refused to confirm or deny whether US aircraft involved in the strikes took off from Australian air force base RAAF Tindal, in the Northern Territory. The spokesperson claimed the need to protect “operational security.”

they'll fly out from Whiteman and over the Pacific and Australia

They could also be forward deployed at the Australian airbase near Darwin they reportedly used for the October 2024 Yemen strikes

I would think it's about intelligence collection on US deployments, definitely

There are some journal articles about 20km high weather balloons using thermal imaging to detect F35 exhaust plumes from 350-2000km, and using interference from Starlink significant to identify low observable aircraft.

They can already detect F35 and B2 aircraft with VHF radar, and Russia has fielded a radar platform which steps down in frequency to better locate and identify signals.

Yeah, I don't know how many rubber bullets you need to take to let you criticise China when you did a very soft interview with AOC and Bernie while they're on their democratic party rehabilitation tour

I don't think it's a meme? What have streamers done since 2021 that I have missed?

I tend to immediately zone out if it's a streamer so I could genuinely have missed a lot
