President Biden on Thursday announced his intent to nominate current Air Force Chief of Staff Gen.

From heart-stopping narratives to lessons etched in blood and grit, we’re about to crack open the survival playbook.
Since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Kyiv has received an increasing amount of military hardware from Western and NATO countries. Weapon systems like the Patriot air defense missile and NATO main battle tanks have given Ukraine’s military an upgrade from its Soviet-era equipment and an advantage over the Russian military.
