28SEP22- 🛫US B1B bombers Surveillance flights in the Galapagos for illegal China mega fishing vessels-
"On September 7, a group of B-1B Lancer strategic bombers carried out a roundtrip mission to Ecuador in support of the United States Southern Command (USSOUTHCOM).
This type of missions carried out by the Bomber Task Force (BTF) is usually called CONUS to CONUS in reference to the departure from the continental region of the United States ( Continental US or CONUS) with return to the same area.
The bomber force took off from Dyess Air Base in Texas to the USSOUTHCOM Area of Responsibility (AOR), and specifically to the coast of Ecuador in the vicinity of the Galapagos Islands.
During the mission, the bombers collaborated with allied nations and countered illegal , unreported , and unregulated (IUU) fishing operations in Galapagos. Aerial refueling aircraft deployed from MacDill Air Force Base in Florida were also used to extend the range of the bombers.
The US Air Force highlights the commitment of the United States in the region with countries such as Ecuador and Panama and that with missions like these this commitment is reinforced and
interoperability is improved to act jointly in various scenarios such as combat but also humanitarian assistance after natural disasters.
It is the fourth time so far this year that the US Air Force's 7th Bomb Wing has flown one of these CONUS to CONUS missions after having moved to the Royal Air Force air base in Fairfold, UK. Kingdom,
another mission to the Indo-Pacific Command (USINDOPACOM) area of responsibility and another to the Africa Command (USAFRICOM) area of responsibility.
In addition, after returning from these missions, aircraft and crews must be ready again for any situation in a matter of hours." -
"This bomber can carry 24 nuclear bombs or 84 short range attack missiles (SRAMs) and has great "stealth" features. It can accelerate past the speed of sound and 40,000 ft is its standard operating ceiling."
-"Ecuador may soon be the only last US ally in South America. The rest of the countries will join or cooperate with the BRIC nations and the SCO. Even possibly Colombia."- ⛑️🪖🥾👨🏼🎤

MON 06OCT25 #ParoDay15#Ecuador #ParoNacional2025 #PUYO The community of Puyo, today marched against the government of Daniel Noboa. Strong repression and arrogance of the authorities is causing more and more sectors to join the National Unemployment protests. Today marks 15 days of protests." -
SUN 05OCT25 (11:03) #ParoDay14 #Quito #Ecuador Pres Noboa: "No one can come and take by force the capital of all Ecuadorians.
To those who choose violence, the law awaits them. To those who act like criminals, they will be treated as criminals.
We continue doing what is our duty: we will be in Pastaza tomorrow, together with those who truly build the country, helping those who need it most to produce more and get ahead." - (1/2)
"While some want to stop Ecuador, we propel it forward.
We will reduce the VAT to 8% during the holidays of October 9, and November 2 and 3, because this country is not going to grind to a halt because of a few who lost the business of smuggling and illegal mining.
To boost the local economy, on November 14 we will pay the thirteenth salary to public employees,
so families will have more money during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. We invite the private sector to join this initiative." - (2/2)
