Canada’s aging CF-18 fleet is on the up, it seems, with the Royal Canadian Air Force finally moving to bolster its legacy fighters with the AIM-120D-3 AMRAAM. Back in February, Canadian CF-18 Hornets carried out successful live-fire testing of the AIM-120D-3 at Florida’s Tyndall Air Force Base.

The exercise included aircraft from 425 Tactical Fighter Squadron and appears to mark the first publicly documented launch of the D-3 variant from a non-U.S. military jet.

A U.S. Navy EA-18G Growler scored a simulated kill on an F-22 Raptor during a 2009 Nellis exercise—and painted a Raptor kill marking on its fuselage afterward. How did a fourth-generation jamming aircraft beat the world’s premier stealth fighter? Electronic warfare and geometry are the answer.

When I first tested GenAI.mil a few months ago, the main achievement was establishing an approved and secure Generative AI platform for the entire DoW to use. That was a massive first step. The early version provided a good starting place but lacked some of the features it needed to fully realize its potential for the Department of War.
Since then, the platform has evolved. The development team has clearly listened to user feedback, rolling out new features, including model upgrades to Gemini 3.
