I found that the Swedish Gripen had 66% by 2014.
Here is a very good break down of events at October 7 from the confused perspective of IOF:

They go through Israeli witness statements from an Ynet article and cross examine them with other reporting on friendly Israeli fire. The picture that emerges is one of complete confusion and incompetence.
The Electronic Intifada (Dec 20, 2023) - Israel is lying about the number of its casualties in Gaza:

Hint: Israel only report 15% of casualties.
Is Trisa a lib? Yes. Was he wrong when he said that sanctions will not help protesters? No. These sanctions were sold to the public as a way to help regime change in Iran and he was correct in pointing out that it wouldn't.
The same with the analysis that Biden's Gaza policy hurts his chances to win against Trump.
Trista is a Swede/Iranian working in the US. As an foreign policy expert, he is generally critical of the US empire and how stupid its diplomatic efforts are in regards to especially Iran.
I appreciate that he is always factually correct and refrain from spin such as calling Hamas and Hezbollah "terror organizations" which is common elsewhere in the West.
He is also willing to say things we "know" that other "experts" try to avoid. In the above example, he rightly assumes that the assassination was carried out by Israel even though we will likely never have convulsive evidence of that.
When it comes to predictions and the quality of his analysis, he tend to be OK. He often gives personalities and individuals more importance for shaping world events than I'd care for but he is generally pessimistic that the US is going to be successful with its global affairs, diplomatic efforts and wars. I think he's approach to International Relations is from an academic area studies which makes him less dogmatic.
You know that the reason was the guy holding the camera wanted the woman and the gun to be in frame. It makes sense that they don't know anything about perspectives.
Israeli military cemetery directors revealed to Israeli media on Sunday that they are burying large numbers of Israeli soldiers killed, especially after the ground invasion of Gaza.
