The United States and Canada are both racing to rebuild their defense industrial bases, recognizing that future conflicts will be determined not only by military capability, but by the ability to produce at scale. But they cannot succeed alone — and importantly, they do not need to start from scratch.
On April 25, armed groups launched near-simultaneous attacks against military installations and key strategic sites across Mali. Claimed by Jama’at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin, a jihadist group, and conducted in coordination with Tuareg separatist forces from the Front de libération de l’Azawad, the attacks targeted multiple nodes across the country’s security architecture simultaneously, from the capital Bamako to Gao, Mopti, and Kidal.
Bastion mobile cruise missile systems operating under the Russian Navy Northern Fleet have held exercises on Franz Josef Land simulating anti-shipping strikes, as the systems continue to be relied heavily for anti-access area denial in the region. “As part of regular combat training, Bastion coastal defence missile system crews from the Northern Fleet’s tactical group based on the Franz Josef Land archipelago have held the exercise,” the Northern Fleet reported.
The U.S. Air Force has deployed E-3 Sentry airborne warning and control systems (AWACS) to strengthen air defence capabilities in the Arctic during Red Flag-Alaska 26-1 exercises, reinforcing North American Air Defence command readiness across key northern approaches. Alaska’s position as a frontline corridor for strategic attacks, primarily by Russian and Chinese strategic bombers, makes the maintaining of high situational awareness there critical, with systems like the E-3 considered optimal asset for such duties.
Earlier this year, it was announced that the troubled Zumwalt-class destroyers are starting to hit the waves again as the USS Zumwalt (DDG1000) recently concluded her sea trials after a long modernization process.
While the Zumwalt-class is losing its Advanced Gun System, it is gaining 12 Conventional Prompt Strike launchers, which enable the ships to launch hypersonic missiles.
Soldiers with the 1st Cavalry Division are poised to trail two of the U.S. Army’s most consequential new armored vehicles: the M1E3 Abrams main battle tank, as well as the XM30 Mechanized Infantry Combat Vehicle. The newest Abrams promises to boost mobility while also reducing fuel consumption — and could well incorporate artificial intelligence to boost combat lethality.
Less is known about the XM30, the replacement for the M2 Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicle, which has been in service since the early 1980s. But both platforms will incorporate lessons learned from the war in Ukraine.
The National Museum of the United States Air Force in Dayton, Ohio, is probably one of the coolest military museums in the world, and might be the number one military museum in America.
It has more than five massive hangars that act as galleries for aircraft, artifacts, and weapons, from the beginning of aviation to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. They even have a few ICBMs and atomic bombs on display.
There are a lot of brands out there trying to appeal to the American armed forces. They will attempt anything and everything: from discounts and swag to free concerts and events, all trying to prove that they are the number one supporter and brand for the military.
Some brands, however, get adopted by U.S. troops whether they like it or not, and become a staple of the culture, every bit as authentic as creamed chipped beef on toast.
No better example of this exists than Rip It.
