FCLP with the Rafale M:

Several landing attempts seems to have been done with only one afterburning nozzle, perhaps simulating an engine-out scenario?

I gather this sort of thing happens every now and then on all platforms; a decade ago Twitter somehow decided I was in the market for afterburning turbojet engines. (I guess my Kerbal Space Program addiction fooled the algorithm?)

Another shot of the Hongdu JL-10 jet trainer. I have no idea why the jet nozzles are painted black like that, as they don't change in aperture like the petals on an afterburning engine?

It does not, in fact hang out on its ass, it props itself up by bringing the upper wing/panel (s-foil?) down and under to serve as landing gear. Seems sort of elaborate for Galactic Republic, but does prevent perptually afterburning the flight deck at take off.

The Rocketplane: a plan to stick a rocket motor onto a small private jet and give it afterburning turbojets to go on suborbital 100km altitude flights, and even expand into a micro-sat launcher:

My opinion for the big J-36 is the top inlet is for a higher bypass turbofan for better cruise/range performance. That would make for sense for Chinese needs in the Pacific. The inlet looks larger than the side inlets for more fighter like afterburning turbofans.

Russia using Tu-160s is interesting here.
Makes me believe Operation Spiderweb was a little more impactful than they let on.
Tu-160 is supersonic, so the maintenance burden is much higher (vibration, heat stresses, etc), and the engines (afterburning turbofan) need much more frequent overhauls.

6 Tu-95 bombers and 3 Tu-160 are up.
Russia has rarely used the Tu-160 because of its importance to the nuclear triad.
