New satellite imagery of an ammunition and explosives storage site just to the west of the Ukrainian city of Khmelnitsky show that most of the installation has been wiped off the map. Yesterday, videos emerged showing an absolutely gigantic fireball rising over the outskirts of Khmelnitsky. The destruction was clearly caused by a series of huge secondary explosions. Now we know for certain that it was indeed this site.

Ukraine reportedly intercepted three Russian long-range missiles and 25 suicide drones but did not disclose the total number of weapons deployed by Moscow.
“Russian forces at dawn on May 14 attacked Ukraine from many directions with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), Kalibr cruise missiles launched from warships in the Black Sea and Kh-55/101/555 cruise missiles from Tu-95MS strategic bomber,” the Ukrainian Air Force Command said in a statement.

A week after Ukraine claimed it shot down a Russian hypersonic missile with a Patriot system, the United States is confirming it. More so, the hypersonic weapon was targeting the Patriot missile system that shot it down. 
The incident occurred on May 4. CNN first reported the details of the shootdown, citing two American officials. Per CNN, Russian forces targeted one Patriot system, using the very radar signature the weapon uses in order to identify incoming attacks.

A robust economy is necessary for a country to become a major military force in the modern world. Due to the high cost of modern weapons and military infrastructure, a strong military is often a byproduct of a prosperous economy. For example, an F22 fighter jet costs 320 million U.S. dollars. So, without the necessary funds, building a force of F22 fighter jets or any other advanced weaponry is challenging. Therefore, having a strong economy is crucial for becoming a military power.
When it comes to the economic situation, South Korea ranks 11th in the world with a GDP of 158 million U.S.

 During the 2019 Tiananmen Parade, China unveiled a peculiar weapon, the Dongfeng 17 missile. With its unconventional appearance resembling a flat drill, reminiscent of those used by street gangsters, this missile stood out from China’s typically cylindrical designs. However, its unique appearance is just the tip of the iceberg. 
The Dongfeng 17 boasts a remarkable capability
flying at an astonishing speed of Mach 15. This blistering velocity presents a significant challenge for global missile defense systems, potentially rendering them ineffective.

The evolution of warfare has brought about advancements in unmanned weapons, with drones, unmanned vehicles, and now unmanned submarines playing crucial roles on the battlefield.
China’s recent unveiling of a domestically produced unmanned submarine has captured global attention, highlighting its remarkable technical expertise in unmanned equipment. In this article, we will explore the features of China’s unmanned submarine and the potential implications for U.S. operations in the South China Sea.

“H.Res. 322., assuredly would increase the chances of the current limited war spilling into a global nuclear disaster.
In the interest of global security, the PIA seeks to prevent the escalation of the war in Ukraine and any potential nuclear conflict.
Instead, PIA wishes to promote international peace by calling for both sides – Russia and Ukraine- to promptly call for an unconditional ceasefire and make room for peace talks.

Germany and Japan employed advanced naval tactics, including the use of submarines. As one of the Axis powers, Japan had a formidable submarine fleet. The Yi-400 class submarine, built by the Japanese Navy, was a remarkable achievement during that time.
The Yi-400 class submarine was the largest submarine of its kind during World War II and remained the largest until the construction of nuclear-powered submarines in the 1960s. It measured 122 meters in length, 12 meters in width, and 7 meters in height.

After months of fighting in and around the besieged city of Bakhmut, Ukrainian forces have retaken ground on the city’s flanks as a Russian unit made a hasty retreat.
In its latest assessment, the Institute for the Study of War (@TheStudyOfWar) noted signs indicate local Ukrainian counterattacks to the northwest and southwest of the city, retaking about 17 square kilometers.
