Key Points and Summary – Canada is already taking deliveries of the F-35, but debate never truly ends. Could Ottawa still pivot to the Eurofighter Typhoon?

-There are credible arguments: guaranteed industrial benefits at home, a twin-engine safety case for Arctic patrols, delivery and software-risk hedging, predictable sustainment with mature European partners, and a specialization in high-end air defense.

Key Points and Summary – The X-44 MANTA—Lockheed Martin’s “Multi-Axis No-Tail Aircraft”—was a bold idea: skip the vertical and horizontal tails, enlarge the wing, and use thrust-vectoring and advanced flight controls to fly a cleaner, stealthier, longer-legged fighter.

-It promised a smaller radar signature, super-cruise efficiency, deep internal fuel, and agility at extreme angles of attack—all while reusing F-22 engines, sensors, and software as a risk reducer.

Following a major buildup of U.S. forces near Venezuela, and reports from multiple sources that Washington is considering launching attacks on the country with the intention of overthrowing its government, the Americas face the possibility of one of the highest intensity inter-state conflicts of the past half century. Although Venezuela has placed its forces on alert, and has conducted frequent patrols using its small fleet of Su-30MK2 fighters as shows of force, the small size of the country’s arsenal has raised questions regarding its ability to seriously challenge the U.S.

The Russian Severodvinsk Shipyard has launched the first Khabarovsk class 10,000 ton nuclear powered submarine, which represents an entirely new type of strategic warship designed specifically to deploy 2M39 Poseidon nuclear-armed underwater drones. The procurement of Khabarovsk class is expected to complement investments in expanding the fleet of Borei II class ballistic missile submarines, pioneering a second means of delivering mass strategic nuclear attacks by sea.
