The Moroccan Defence Ministry has begun evaluating a potential acquisition of up to 400 South Korean K2 Black Panther main battle tanks, as part of a broader modernisation plan for the country’s ground forces. This follows a visit to Seoul in April 2025 by Morocco’s Minister of Industry and Trade, Ryad Mezzour, during which he formally expressed an interest in the K2.
CEO of the Russian unmanned aircraft developer Geron, Vladimir Tabunov, has announced the development of the ‘Predator’ stratospheric unmanned multifunctional platform, which was designed for long range high-altitude missions to partially replace certain functions of satellite and ground-based systems. Designed to fly at low subsonic speeds of Mach 0.46, the aircraft will have a 12,000 kilometre range, 15,000 metre operational altitude, and payload of up to 500 kilograms.
The U.S. Navy destroyer USS Zumwalt has departed Pascagoula, Mississippi for sea trials, and is the first warship to do so while configured to be equipped with intercontinental range missiles. The Zumwalt has been under refit since August 2023, during which its twi 155mm Advanced Gun System turrets were removed and replaced with 12 launch tubes or the Conventional Prompt Strike (CPS) intercontinental range hypersonic missile. The missile has a terminal speed exceeding Mach 5 and an unknown range that exceeds 6000 kilometres. It for the first time provides the U.S.
Ukrainian armored units are getting the ‘hedgehog armor’, a system similar to a wire brush covering the exterior of an armored vehicle to protect against drones. The wire causes the drone warhead to explode some distance from the exterior of the vehicle, preventing damage.

The Army’s most senior civilian official recently criticized a counter-drone system that soldiers have been employing for years, including in training and on patrols along the U.S.-Mexico border in recent months.
Army Secretary Dan Driscoll told soldiers during a town hall at Fort Drum, New York, this week that the Dronebuster — a handheld jammer designed to zap unmanned aerial systems out of the sky — is “fucking terrible” in his experience.
“It’s a joke,” he said.
Defense giants Lockheed Martin and GE Aerospace recently completed a series of tests for an experimental engine that could reach hypersonic speeds at lower cost, the companies announced Wednesday.
Under a joint technology development effort, Lockheed and GE are developing a liquid-fueled rotating detonation ramjet system that could allow missiles to fly farther and reach speeds of at least Mach 5 — considered the threshold for hypersonic flight. Following the recent ground-based demonstrations of the technology, both firms plan to continue maturation throughout 2026, a news release stated.
A proposed law introduced in Congress this week aims to require private military housing companies to pay for expenses involving mold, including relocating families when their homes become uninhabitable. But an attorney who practices military law says the legislation lacks any teeth.
The bill has no method of forcing the private companies to pay for the expenses they would be required to cover.
The F-16 Fighting Falcon was originally designed to be a daytime air superiority fighter, but over the decades of its service life, it has evolved into an all-weather, multi-role attack platform. The first F-16 rolled off the manufacturing line in 1976, and ultimately more than 4,500 aircraft followed it.
During the design of the F-16, some elements of other aircraft, including the F-15 and F-111, were incorporated to enhance it and “reduce its size, purchase price, maintenance costs, and weight,” according to the Air Force.
