I was thinking at first to connect #Alive for this timeline but then the zombie in this movie is way different compared to the ones in Train to Busan. So no way to combine these two movies into one universe. |

So no way to combine these two movies into one universe. Yeah. A bit of spoiler, the zombies in #Alive eat flesh unlike the Train to Busan zombies which do feast on flesh. |

Russo-Indian cruise missile sees action for the first time By CHAD GARLAND|Published: September 2, 2016 Cruise missile BrahMos on display at IMDS-2007. Wikimedia Commons.On September 2, 2016 with the reignition of the Korean War, the BrahMos cruise missile was used in combat for the first time since it was introduced 10 years ago. The missiles were fired from INS Satpura (F48), a Shivalik-class stealth-multirole frigate of the Indian Navy. The INS Satpura was initially part of the RIMPAC 2016 exercises held in Hawaii starting last July but was quickly diverted to South Korea with the rest of the fleet led by the USS John C. Stennis for Operation Sea Paladin or the United Nations quarantine of the Korean peninsula. The targets of the missiles were Korean People's Navy surface vessels and other strategic targets such as North Korean naval bases, shipyards, air fields, and supply depots. The damage caused by the missiles have yet to be determined.

Photo by Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Michael Greenfield/U.S. Navy) The BrahMos (designated PJ-10) is a medium-range ramjet supersonic cruise missile that can be launched from submarine, ships, aircraft, or land. It is the fastest supersonic cruise missile in the world. It is a joint venture between the Russian Federation's NPO Mashinostroyeniya and India's Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), who together have formed BrahMos Aerospace. It is based on the Russian P-800 Oniks cruise missile and other similar sea-skimming Russian cruise missile technology. The name BrahMos is a portmanteau formed from the names of two rivers, the Brahmaputra of India and the Moskva of Russia.
Entering service in the Indian Armed Forces and the Russian Armed Forces in November 2006, it is currently the world's fasted anti-ship cruise missile. After seeing the potential performance of the missile, other countries have looked into the option of ordering these missiles from India.
The current situation in the Korean Peninsula has also simultaneously seen new weapons and military equipment to be used in combat for the first time. Among these are the F-35B variant used by the United States Marine Corps launching from the USS America (LHA-6) which saw action against the Sukhoi and MiG fighter jets of the Korean People's Army Air and Anti-Air Force. The Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force's JS Izumo (DDH-181), the newest and most-expensive light aircraft carrier, also saw action in supporting allies and partners in the region. The Izumo's flight deck could technically house the F-35B, sparkling concerns within China, both Koreas, and Russia of Japan having these carriers to project power in the region as fears of resurgence of Japanese militarism. |

The damage caused by the missiles have yet to be determined. Was this done during the 2nd Korean War ore was this to prevent any ship from leaving the Korean Quarantine Zone (KQZ]. |

SEPTEMBER 2, 2016|UPDATED 1 HOUR AGO The F-35 Participates On Its First Combat Missions Over Korea By Mike Stone
  An F-35B takes off from the USS America's flight deck while several others are parked on the runway, off the coast of South Korea, September 2, 2016. (U.S. NAVY)
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A number of F-35 Lightning II fighter jets conducted aerial and ground combat against North Korean targets, marking the first time the controversial $428 billion 5th generation fighter jet to be used in actual combat.
During an emergency press conference in the Pentagon with the recent escalation of the Korean quarantine, Peter Cook, Assistant to the Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs, confirmed the use of the highly-advanced fighter jets which took off from the USS America (LHA-6) amphibious assault ship. The success rates of these jets have yet to be evaluated.
"We can confirm that the F-35s have shot down multiple North Korean jets with a high kill ratio. However, we have yet to receive nor disclose the actual combat data." Cook said.
The fighter jets used were the F-35B variant which is capable of short takeoff and vertical landing (SVOTL) which entered service within the United States Marine Corps last November 2015 since the jets are favorable to operate on amphibious assault ships with small flight decks such as the Wasp-class and the newer America-class.
The most expensive fighter jet program in the U.S. military's history started in 1995 which was intended to counter Russia and China's newer generation of fighter jets. The project itself overlapped with the stealthy F-22 Raptor, which costed $70 billion to produce and acquire for the United States Air Force. Ever since the conception of the project, the development of the F-35 was marred by cost overrun and delays. The F-35A first took flight on December 15, 2006 but was only introduced a decade later. Just a month ago, the F-35A, which is capable of conventional takeoff and landing, was introduced to the United States Air Force. The F-35C, which is capable of landing on aircraft carriers assisted by catapults, is expected to be in service by 2018.
Since then, allied countries have expressed interest in the fighter jet. The United Kingdom has planned to procure 138 units of the fighter jet, mainly the F-35B, to operate on its upcoming aircraft carrier the HMS Queen Elizabeth. Australia, Belgium, Denmark, Italy, Japan, The Netherlands, Norway, Poland, South Korea, Singapore, and Turkey plan also plan to add the F-35 in their fleet of aircraft.

Nice and good update gillan1220 . Next would be the deployment of the JS Izumo, then in 2016 was one of Japan's largest and most expensive light carrier. Her sister ship the JS Kaga would not be commissioned until 2017. |

Izumo has to bee converted first to be able to handle the F-35B i presume. The conversions would have been underway in 2016. However, Japan did not receive their F-35s at the time of this year and most likely the JS Izumo would be used for supporting Allied helicopters and SVTOLs. I can see a USMC F-35 land on the Izumo even without those gear meant to handle it. On June 6, 1983, a British Harrier was able to land on a cargo ship. Since the Izumo-class and even the precursor Hyūga-class have wider flight decks than a cargo ship, it would utilize the same principle.  |
