Of the 10,425 military dogs trained during World War II, Chips was extraordinary.
The German shepherd, Siberian husky, and collie mix was only about 2 years old when he joined the United States Army in 1942, but he grew up fast. Before his family donated him to the Dogs for Defense program, Chips never strayed far from home.

The U.S. Air Force 35th Fighter Wing on April 24 conducted an F-35 Lightning II ribbon-cutting ceremony at Misawa Air Base in Aomori Prefecture, northern Japan, marking the official introduction of the new fighter type to the air unit. Department of Defence sources reported that this signalled “the start of its next chapter in fifth-generation airpower,” and reflected “the wing’s continued evolution to meet mission requirements and reinforce allied relationships.

You have your SSNs, i.e., nuclear- powered “fast attack” boats. You have your SSBNs, i.e., ballistic missile submarines, which, in addition to being powered by nuclear reactors, also wield nuclear weapons, thus serving as a leg of America’s nuclear strategic triad (hence their nickname of “boomers”).
The U.S. Navy’s SSN (X) next-generation attack submarine program, which plans to combine the stealth of the Virginia-class with the firepower of the Seawolf-class, is delayed. The first procurement has been pushed back to the early 2040s, from a previous target of 2035.
The primary reasons for the delay are budget limitations and the need to manage resources across multiple shipbuilding programs, most of which are also overdue and over budget.

The U.S. Air Force’s F-47, developed by Boeing under the Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) initiative to replace the F-22, is on track for a first flight in 2028. As of February 2026, the program is advancing rapidly, with manufacturing underway and aiming for operational fielding by the early 2030s.
The F-47 is currently in early, low-rate, and highly secretive production following a March 2025 contract award. Early manufacturing of the first aircraft is underway in St. Louis, with a fleet goal of 185+ units to replace the F-22.

Five regiments’ worth of the systems were ordered under a $5.

On April 23 the European Union imposed economic sanctions on the firm Yangzhou Yangjie Electronic Technology, known more commonly as Yangjie Technology, as part of a regime of secondary sanctions targeting Russian trading partners. These sanctions have been imposed as part of the EU’s 20th sanctions package, with the targeting of the Chinese firm initiated the basis that it had allegedly sent dual use electronics to support the Russian Armed Forces and defence sector, including making over 200 shipments of dual use semiconductor components since 2022 which were used in drones and armaments.
