A Yak-52 drone-hunter.Via Eye of Horus Another World War I style dogfighter is back in action over Ukraine.

It’s at least the second Yak-52 to hunt drones over Ukraine. In a heady three months starting last May, a Yak-52 shot down a large number of Russian drones over Kherson Oblast, likely at least a…

Podcaster, comedian, and UFC analyst Joe Rogan says he will not make the trip to perform broadcasting duties at UFC 315 in Canada, saying he would “rather go to Russia.” On May 10, the UFC will hold a pay-per-view event in Montreal featuring the first welterweight title defense for champion Belal Muhammad, as he takes on Australia’s Jack Della Maddalena. While Rogan’s decision not to attend may not come as a surprise since he doesn’t usually call fights on foreign soil, as he didn’t the last time the UFC was in Canada for UFC 297, this time, Rogan put an…
