Airborne Warning and Control System, also known as AWACS, might be the key to American dominance in military operations. Its integrated command and control battle management provides an accurate, real-time picture of any battle space to any Joint Operations Center. It tracks friendly forces, hostile forces, and neutral parties on the ground, in the air, and at sea.
The aircraft itself is called the E-3 Sentry, and it’s basically a modified Boeing 737 commercial liner with a 30-foot diameter rotating radar dome on top of it.

Germany will soon be sending its homegrown, third-generation Leopard 2 Main Battle Tank for use by the Ukrainian Armed Forces against the Russians. That’s good news for Ukraine, and potentially devastating news for the hundreds of thousands of Russian conscripts who will soon be facing it in combat. The Leopard 2 is finally getting a chance to do what it was designed to do: kill Russians and destroy tanks in Eastern European battlefields.
It was first developed by West Germany during the Cold War.
A word of good advice for anyone in North Korea while the Comrade Marshal Kim Jong Un is around: it’s always a good idea to at least pretend to care what he has to say and to try and pay attention. That’s just good policy. One of the best ways to ensure you look like you care is to take notes on what Kim’s saying like you’re a first-year biology student.
No one in the North Korean military wants to end up tied to a rock in Siberia because he got distracted by a squirrel, that’s just basic survival.
The B-52 Stratofortress is one of the oldest airframes in the U.S. military arsenal, taking its first flight in 1952. But the B-52s that are flying today are very different aircraft than the ones first flown more than 70 years ago. A lot has changed in the U.S. military and among its enemies. New weapons were developed and some critical lessons were learned.
One of those lessons came in the days of the American victory in the 1991 Persian Gulf War.
The U.S. military has a racism problem alright, and a corruption problem as well. However, it’s not in the rank and file, it’s in the senior officer corp, and civilian leadership.
See the incident below where a general officer (Ohio National Guard Adjutant Maj. Gen. John Harris) threatens and attempts to assault a black reporter simply doing his job during OH Governor DeWine’s press conference on the train derailment/chemical fire. This is the way they roll in Beijing; it’s not supposed to be like this in the United States of America.
On Tuesday, NATO Air Command reported that two Dutch F-35 fighter fighters had performed an A-scramble for the first time, intercepting a Russian military aircraft that had strayed too close to Polish airspace.
“Supported by German inets, they shadowed the Russian aircraft which were posing a danger to other air users by ignoring international air safety rules,” the command said in a Twitter post.
According to the Duch Ministry of Defense, the Russian aircraft were an II-20M (known to NATO as the Coot-A) spy plane and two Su-27s (Flakers) fighter jets.
“I often think of those fateful 19 hours on June 18, 1965, and what our team did to make sure we left no man behind on that battlefield,” Davis said.

The Space Development Agency is asking industry to submit proposals to build a prototype “application factory” that is intended to bolster next-generation battle management command, control, communications (BMC3) for the U.S. military.
The SDA, which is now part of the Space Force, is pursuing a “space edge processing capability” for the forthcoming proliferated architecture of low-Earth orbit satellites that will transport data and form the backbone of the Pentagon’s Joint All-Domain Command and Control networks.

U.S. troops killed an “ISIS official” during a Feb. 10 raid with partner forces that is part of wider efforts to prevent the Islamic State group from reestablishing itself in Syria and Iraq, U.S. Central Command tweeted on Wednesday.
While this may not be a fight for Russia’s survival, it very likely could be one for Putin’s regime.
