Qatar Emiri Air Force
The Qatar Emiri Air Force entered global headlines following the reported shootdown of two Iranian Sukhoi Su-24M bombers during the opening phase of this year’s conflict with Iran. The aircraft were reportedly intercepted over the waters of the Persian Gulf while approaching targets in Qatar and were engaged near the country in international airspace. Leaving aside subsequent disputes regarding the incident itself, this article focuses instead on the air arm behind the action.

Air War in Ukraine - Disaster in Tuapse
April was the second consecutive month in which Russia lost more territory than it gained. Ukrainian gains amounted to only a few dozen square kilometers, but they still exceeded Russian advances. This was especially true in the Zaporizhzhia region, where Ukrainian forces cleared several villages during the reporting period (April 1–30).

The Messerschmitt Bf 110 is known primarily for the high number of victories achieved by German night fighters flying this type. The deployment of the Bf 110 in daytime fighter operations is sometimes associated with various stereotypes that assign this twin-engine aircraft an inferior role compared to single-engine fighters.

A QUARTER-CENTURY OF E-DAY
A few days ago, I came across a portfolio of smaller graphic design projects from years ago while going through my old things. In it were some cards in the colours of the city of Pilsen that took me back to around the turn of the millennium. At that time, my friend and colleague Jaromír Kohout from the Pilsen club asked me to design tickets for a model-making event that he was co-organising. He was acting as the organiser's right-hand man and director of the event. The event, E-Day, took place at the Dukla sports club shooting range in Pilsen and was supposed to be a major plastic modelling competition organised by Eduard, the largest Czech manufacturer of plastic models.
