When Israel avenges the Holocaust or terrorist crimes against Jewish people, the world takes notice – and Israel wants them to. From the Nazi hunters led by Simon Wiesenthal and the abduction and extradition of Adolf Eichmann to Operation Wrath of God, the revenge killings against Arab terrorists for the 1972 Munich Massacre, Israel wants people to know crimes against Jewish people will not be tolerated.
Armenians, meanwhile, have been struggling for more than a century just to have the genocide against their people recognized as such by the international community.

Private space services company LeoLabs says its data shows a Chinese reusable space vehicle, believed to be a miniature spaceplane design, docked with or otherwise captured a separate object on multiple occasions during its recent 276-day-long stint in orbit. A highly maneuverable space vehicle with this kind of capability could be used to surveil, disrupt and outright attack an opponent’s space-based assets, as well as retrieve or otherwise interact with friendly ones.

Army Gen. Mark Milley has been a lightning rod for scrutiny and controversy as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. But, strangely, the nation he has served for more than 40 years doesn’t know much about the man who so often finds himself in the crossfire of a red-hot culture war.
Until now, few people knew Milley once ran across a minefield in Iraq to stop an M1 Abrams tank seconds before the vehicle rolled over an IED.
In 2018, President Putin personally announced the existence of the Kh-47 “Dagger” weapon. He stated that the “Dagger” has the capability to overcome both current and future anti-aircraft and anti-missile defense systems.
The Russian Federation’s claim about the “Dagger” weapon sparked a myth of its extraordinary capabilities. However, Ukrainian anti-aircraft fighters have challenged this notion. The Russian Federation invested significant resources in developing, producing, and modifying carriers like the MiG-31K.

In 9 AD, Rome suffered one of her most devastating military defeats – an ambush in North-Western Germany that wiped out three legions on the march, in what they believed to be pacified territory. During the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest, more than 10,000 Roman soldiers were killed or captured, and within a few years, the Romans would abandon their ambitions to add German territories east of the Rhine to the Empire.

James N. Rowe was just three years out of West Point when he was sent to the Republic of Vietnam in 1963. There, he was assigned to serve as executive officer Det. A-23 of the 5th Special Forces group. His mission was advising and training the Army of the Republic of Vietnam. He would spend more time in Vietnam as a prisoner of the enemy than operating as an advisor. While that fact is tragic, it also served to help entire future generations of soldiers and aircrews.
I don’t know about all of you, but I originally learned about the German Enigma machine as a kid from the ridiculously inaccurate movie U-571. That’s uh, not how the Enigma was captured or cracked. In fact, the British Parliament declared it an affront to the real sailors. But the British did capture Enigma machines and parts. And, in October 1942, one sailor risked his life while two more made the ultimate sacrifice to save their peers.
Tommy Brown, First Lt. Tony Fasson, and Able Seaman Colin Grazier were absolute legends.
The Pentagon on Tuesday released its official National Defense Science and Technology Strategy (NDSTS), outlining its plans to bolster the military’s S&T enterprise.
Guided by the 2022 National Defense Strategy, the 11-page document outlines three key lines of effort for the department’s S&T initiatives: joint operations, rapid experimentation and prototyping, and ensuring the foundations for research and development.
Once upon a time, in a world cloaked in secrecy and danger, there were special missions called covert ops. These are the hidden operations of spies and soldiers – men and women who risk their lives silently behind enemy lines. With a special blend of cunning and skill, these operatives pursue their mysterious goals, like shadows of the night.
Covert ops are secret missions that have a big impact on military strategy and the landscape of the world. These risky missions often lead to critical wins and give an edge both on and off the battlefield.

An F-22 Raptor stealth fighter that was seriously damaged in 2018 after it skidded down the runway on its belly at Naval Air Station Fallon, Nevada, has returned to operational status. This marks the end of an elongated five-year period of restoration on the aircraft. The Air Force had previously hoped to have the F-22 flying again in Spring 2022.
