Space Force has spent several months building out its idea of “orbital warfare” and now it has one of its first weapons.
Last month, Space Force Combat Forces Command acquired the Meadowlands, which can blast enemy satellites with electromagnetic radiation to shut them down. Developed by L3Harris Technologies, the new weapon is able to “detect, deny, disrupt, and degrade adversary capabilities,” according to Space Force.
Specifically, the Meadowlands is a terrestrial-based weapon meant to jam enemy systems in space, disrupting transmissions from satellites and ground stations.

Summary and Key Points: U.S. media, citing anonymous sources, reported this week that Israel warned Washington of a new Iranian plot to assassinate President Trump. The claim is serious and comes from credible outlets, but it is also unconfirmed, undetailed, and, according to some U.S. officials, possibly an Israeli effort to influence Trump as he weighs widening the war. Trump has already said publicly how he would respond. The harder question is who benefits from this warning surfacing now.
Summary and Key Points: Vladimir Putin has begun hinting that the war in Ukraine might be “coming to an end,” but a serious body of analysis argues he may not actually be able to end it, and not because of the battlefield. The case runs that four years of war have rewired Russia’s economy and society around the fighting, so a peace that forced ordinary Russians to confront its true human and economic costs could threaten the regime itself.
