According to the state agency Tass, Russia is strengthening its naval operations in the Pacific region, with plans to station more nuclear submarines in the area by 2024.
Tass didn’t say where the sites would be located, but a Russian naval base at Vladivostok has been operational for over a century. On the Kamchatka Peninsula, it also maintains a Pacific Fleet station large enough to host nuclear submarines.
At least three of Russia’s new Borey-class nuclear submarines are destined for the Pacific, where they will remain submerged for months at a time.

To lay the groundwork for the U.S. Air Force’s Combat Collaborative Aircraft (CCA) program, which will explore tactical human-machine teaming concepts, the service will be giving select F-16 Viper fighter jets the ability to fly themselves.
Dubbed Project Viper Experimentation and Next-Gen Operations Mode (VENOM), the initiative will outfit six F-16s from Eglin Air Force Base in Florida with autonomy agents that a human pilot will experiment with in flight.

Nearly 80 years ago, American forces launched a successful invasion of Guam. The island had fallen into Imperial Japanese control in 1941, just one day after the attack on Pearl Harbor, and as the United States military worked to take the war to Japan, U.S. troops slowly but surely captured island after island in the Pacific. Eventually, that island-hopping campaign reached Guam.
While the Army has a program designed to address how vehicles will operate in GPS-denied environments, one big prime contractor believes this program only covers a slice of the force and is now proposing a family of systems that it says would close that gap for protecting position, navigation and timing (PNT) capabilities.
The Mounted Assured Position, Navigation and Timing System (MAPS) program provides vehicles with the capability to operate in environments where access to GPS is jammed, spoofed, or otherwise denied.

Ah, space exploration, the final frontier! Or, more accurately, the final place we haven’t fully ruined yet. But hey, at least we have the Guardians to help us out, right?

Players of Call of Duty and Battlefield will be familiar with the Adaptive Combat Rifle. Developed as a replacement for the M4 Carbine, the ACR was touted as the rifle of the future. Marketing material flaunted the system’s ability to quickly change calibers. However, most of these quick-change kits, and the rifle’s full potential, never materialized.
The ACR has been widely featured in video games and movies (Infinity Ward)
The ACR was initially developed by Magpul Industries as the Masada in 2006. Two years later, Bushmaster Firearms International licensed the design from Magpul.
Aside from its nuclear arsenal, there’s not a lot of boasting North Korea can do about its military. We can have faith that North Korea will do it anyway. Yet, its latest weapon appears to be something worth bragging about. It’s an underwater drone, capable of generating what the Hermit Kingdom calls a “radioactive tsunami.”
According to North Korea’s state media, the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), the new weapon is capable of destroying naval strike groups and would be used to target enemy ports.
