A report from an Israeli Ministry of Defence spokesperson claims its representatives are excluded from the approaching Eurosatory arms fair.
Russia’s PAK DA was supposed to be Moscow’s stealth answer to the American B-21 — a flying-wing bomber built to haul nuclear weapons past the world’s best air defenses. There’s just one problem. Nearly twenty years after the program began, and after a parade of finalized designs and confident deadlines, Russia still hasn’t rolled out a single prototype. What it has produced instead says a lot about why analysts have started calling the whole thing a fairy tale.

Iran’s decision to walk away – breaking in the news right now – from the negotiating table and threatening to seal the Strait of Hormuz completely leaves Donald Trump facing a problem with no quick fix. As one former Senior Donald Trump offical who served in his first term on the National Security Council told me just minutes ago: “Trump’s Strait of Hormuz crisis is a problem looking for a solution. Trump has no good options anymore, and he knows that.
The United States, United Kingdom and Australia have launched a new trilateral “signature project” focused on developing new capabilities for unmanned underwater vehicles.
The military pact unveiled the undersea drone effort in a joint statement issued on Saturday. The partner nations will be developing “cutting-edge payloads and enabling systems” to enhance their UUV arsenals, with deliveries expected to begin next year, according to the statement.
The announcement came after a meeting between U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, U.K.
Summary and Key Points: Russia has finally put its Su-57 back to work in Ukraine — but not the way Moscow once promised. Rather than risk its only fifth-generation fighter in contested skies, the Russian Aerospace Forces keep it hundreds of miles back, lobbing cruise missiles from safety.

U.S. forces shot down two Iranian ballistic missiles Sunday that were launched at American forces in Kuwait, American officials said Monday morning. The missile attack and intercept came just days after a similar Iranian strike reportedly injured U.S. troops in Kuwait, and after American forces targeted Iranian command and control sites over the weekend. The exchange of fire has continued between U.S. and Iranian forces despite a nominal ceasefire.
No U.S. troops were injured in the Sunday attack, according to U.S. Central Command, or CENTCOM. The command did not identify which U.S.
One thing I know for certain is that U.S. Air Force pilots don’t hold their tongue. When I asked an elite stealth fighter pilot about the Su-57, he was blunt. “I don’t want to hold anything back: Russia’s Su-57 Felon is the worst stealth fighter on the planet. It doesn’t even have stealth characteristics. I would take an F-22, F-35, or even a J-20 fighter over that piece of garbage any day.”
