A USAF CV-22 Osprey was photographed inserting personnel at an undisclosed location in the Philippines this October. The unit remains unidentified, though the activity is noteworthy amid reports of special operations movements in the region.

#USAF United States Air Force Boeing KC-46 Pegasus 1x #AE63B1 15-46069 - HIFI 11 HIFI 11 departed Charleston Air Force Base and refuelled an E-4B as CLUB 22 from Offutt Air Force Base along AR-318. CLUB 22 continued Eastwards to land at Andrews AFB after some circuit work, while HIFI 11 landed at Fairchild AFB. FIST 51-52 which arrived in Alaska over the past two days are yet to move, but are also positioned for an E-4 support flight. With CLUB 22 arriving at Andrews, this may be a SECDEF overseas visit. @MATA_osint

WATCH: A Chinese warship was spotted in the waters between Basilan and Zamboanga City on Thursday, October 23, 2026. Video footage taken by Jayne Amarado shows a Chinese warship passing through the Basilan Strait, carrying several Chinese military aircraft. Amarado said they were surprised to see the massive Chinese warship passing near Basilan and Zamboanga City. The Western Mindanao Naval Command confirmed that the vessel was part of the Liaoning Chinese aircraft carrier strike group spotted in the Basilan Strait. The Chinese warships reportedly came from Palawan and passed through the Basilan Strait. The Philippine Navy immediately deployed its naval assets to track and monitor the presence of the Chinese warships in the waters off Western Mindanao. According to the Western Mindanao Naval Command, the Chinese warships did not respond to its radio challenges. Their Automatic Identification System (AIS), which transmits navigational information such as vessel name, Maritime Mobile Service Identity (MMSI), position, course, and speed, was also switched off. The Armed Forces of the Philippines continues to track and monitor the Chinese warships operating in Philippine waters. | via Reuben James Rosalado, bnc.ph 📹: Jayne Amarado
