On Apr. 7, 1945, aircraft from the U.S. Navy’s fast carrier task force sank the largest battleship ever built, the Imperial Japanese Navy’s Yamato. Escorted by the light cruiser Yahagi and eight destroyers, Yamato was on its way to Okinawa. It was intended to be a one-way trip: Yamato was expected to beach and use its guns as a coastal battery against the U.S. invasion fleet. Its approach was detected by American submarines and signals intelligence. Eleven U.S. aircraft carriers launched almost 300 aircraft. Over about two hours, Yamato was hit more than 15 times by torpedoes and bombs.
The United Kingdom Ministry of Defence has launched a competition to rapidly develop a ground-launched short ranged ballistic missiles to re-equip the Ukrainian Army underProject Nightfall, which was first publicly announced on January 11. The project builds on an earlier early engagement notice in August 2025 outlining requirements for cost-effective ballistic missiles, and could complement Ukraine’s other ballistic and cruise missile development programs including the indigenous Flamingo subsonic cruise missile program with a 3000 kilometre range.
Following its introduction into service in December 2025, a growing number of assessments have been published in the Western world regarding the capabilities of the Russian Oreshnik ballistic missile, which is the first with an intermediate range to have been introduced in Europe since the 1980s. The missile has been combat tested twice in the Ukrainian theatre, the first time in late 2024 when its development was first announced, and the second time on January 8 in a major show of force aimed at targets the Lviv region near Ukraine’s western borders.

White House Spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt amplified claims about American special forces super-soliders deployed advanced weaponry during the extraction phase of former Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro.
Leavitt reposted an alleged account from a Venezuelan security guard at Maduro’s compound describing what happened when Delta Force operators descended from helicopters in pitch-black conditions. This account was originally posted on X by California-based political activist Mike Netter, who is seeking to recall left-wing Governor Gavin Newsom.
The U.S. Armed Forces Indo-Pacific Command on January 10 provided details on military free-fall training by U.S. Naval Special Warfare forces above Okinawa, Japan, which was intended to enhance precision insertion capabilities and survivability in contested environments across the region. Images sowed coordinated airborne operations supported by U.S. Marine Corps helicopters, including the UH-1Y Venom utility helicopter and the AH-1Z Viper lightweight attack helicopter. The terrain and airspace simulated closely resembled those seen in the First Island Chain.

As an ’86 graduate of the U.S. Air Force Academy who studied aeronautical engineering, part of aerospace industry lore I learned is of the legendary ‘Skunkworks’ at Lockheed in the mid-twentieth century.
The Skunk Works is the official alias for Lockheed Martin’s Advanced Development Programs (ADP), a highly secretive aerospace engineering division renowned for rapidly developing cutting-edge aircraft and technologies under tight deadlines and minimal bureaucracy.
One of the Army’s main missile defense bases is dealing with a “critical disruption” to its food services operations, “jeopardizing the readiness” of soldiers.
Fort Greely, where hundreds of soldiers are stationed in Alaska, has been dealing with civilian staffing shortages at its dining facility since at least October, according to a contract solicitation by the Army. The notice, posted on the SAM.gov website where the government takes bids for the military, describes a shortage of cooks and support staff.
