The greatest threat to America may be something we cannot see.

The Russian Aerospace Forces has deployed a Su-35 air superiority fighter to provide cover for bombers and ground attack aircraft during a series of air strikes on Ukrainian Army military installations and hardware. The Russian Defence Ministry reported regarding the engagements: “The crew of a Su-35S multirole supermaneuverable thrust-vectoring fighter of the Russian Aerospace Forces carried out a combat duty mission to provide support for the Battlegroup South in the special military operation area.
New footage has confirmed that at least a small number of Su-34M strike fighters have been produced in export configuration, which has lend weight to prior unconfirmed reports that a contract for the sale of the aircraft to a foreign client has been signed. Although multiple clients have been speculated to potentially have an interest in the aircraft, Algeria and North Korea were considered its two most likely potential clients.
The Marine Corps relies on a sense of crisis to promote and prevent change more than any other institution I’ve come across. As one well-known Marine leader wrote over 40 years ago “the continuous struggle for a viable existence fixed clearly one of the distinguishing characteristics of the Corps — a sensitive paranoia, sometimes justified, sometimes not.” Indeed, many times throughout the history of our country, leaders have called into question whether the Marine Corps should exist. But this has not happened in any serious way for many decades.
In the 1930s, the Granville Brothers of Springfield, Massachusetts, developed a line of aircraft that some believed were either the fastest planes in the world or the most dangerous machines ever made. In truth, the Gee Bee Racers were both.

The year was 1931, and the Great Depression was devastating to the once-thriving sport aircraft industry. Nevertheless, the Granville brothers designed the Model Z Super Sportster to compete for the Thompson Trophy at the National Air Races in Cleveland that year, in hopes it would lead to a sales boost.
The United States is manufacturing the MGM-140 Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) for deployment of on the island of Taiwan, where they will serve in the Republic of China Army (RoCA) to strengthen its strike capabilities against the Chinese mainland. The transfer of short range ballistic missiles will allow the RoCA to threaten targets on the mainland including both critical infrastructure and major military facilities, and marks a significant escalation in American arms supplies to the service.
Nearly five years ago, the Army moved away from the practice of several drill sergeants surrounding trainees and yelling at them to establish dominance at the start of basic training — a practice known as a “shark attack.”
Now, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is looking into having the Army bring “shark attacks” back, a defense official confirmed to Task & Purpose. As of Wednesday, Hegseth had not issued any formal direction to the service on the matter.
How do you build over 100 unmanned aerial systems on short notice? That was the initial problem that spurred an idea for how to potentially address a key directive from the secretary of defense.
As part of the Army’s Project Flytrap exercise, a joint U.S. and U.K. effort to test new counter-UAS technologies in order to eventually incorporate them into formations, the service’s science and technology office was charged with providing around 100 target drones for troops to defeat.
The only problem was they didn’t have that many just lying around.
