The missile uses a large 12 wheel transporter erector launcher, and was shown covered in camouflage netting during redeployment.

We are well aware of the recent unlawful order that forced military members to take the Covid vaccine, which is not a vaccine at all…but is a bioweapon countermeasure. This was an illegal clinical trial without informed consent.
A fake bait and switch was performed to give FDA approval to the Comirnity vaccine, which did not exist. Instead, members were given the Pfizer vaccine which was not approved. This was unlawful.
The ground forces equipment manufacturer Krauss-Maffei Wegmann and Nexter (KNDS) has unveiled the first Leopard 2A8 main battle tank, which was built to meet orders for the Norwegian Arm. The rollout was attended by German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius and Norwegian State Secretary Marte Gerhardsen, with the firm announcing that it was“an important milestone for the modern equipment of the Bundeswehr and for European cooperation in the field of land systems.
A lot of Americans don’t realize that, for a time, there was no U.S. Navy. From 1790 through 1801, the only defenders of America’s waterways (and the nation’s only source of cash) was the U.S. Revenue Marine, the earliest forerunner of the Coast Guard.
Facing seaborne threats from Britain and France, Congress and President George Washington decided that being defended solely by the Coast Guard was entirely unacceptable and passed “An Act to provide a naval armament,” which reestablished the U.S. Navy with six frigates.
It is now abundantly clear that no privatized housing company wants to be thought of as the Grinch who stole Christmas. When it comes to allowing troops and their families put up holiday decorations, contractors’ hearts have grown three sizes.
Hunt Military Communities announced on Monday that residents can now display holiday decorations starting on Nov. 1.
Naval Air Systems Command has given Fortress Government Solutions a $95 million contract to implement a new software platform able to provide continuous monitoring of the service’s supply chain.
Under the five-year indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract announced Wednesday, Fortress will deliver a suite of cyber supply chain risk management (C-SCRM) capabilities — including software, analytics, reporting tools and additional integration services.
The U.S. Coast Guard is conducting market research with an eye toward adopting commercial technologies and AI that could boost the efficiency and efficacy of its procurement processes.
The new Chinese Type 076 large deck amphibious warfare ship is larger than the US Navy’s equivalent, and has a catapult for launching large drones
The US Navy is now producing the America class LHA, which is essentially a medium size aircraft carrier. At roughly 45,000 tons, it is larger than the World War II class Essex carriers that won the war in the Pacific.
The Type 076 Sichuan was just put into service by China. It is also about 45,000 tons but it is also wider. This is interesting because it gives more flight deck space.
The United States faces a challenge to maintain adequate stockpiles of missile interceptors amid rising demand and limited production capacity. The strain spans multiple systems. For example, concerns over dwindling Patriot interceptor inventories and the high usage rate of interceptors for the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system drew attention this summer. The war in Ukraine has also helped drive concerns that U.S. interceptor inventories are insufficient.
For more than four decades, the U.S. Army has been trying, and failing, to replace the M2 Bradley Fighting Vehicle. From the Armored Systems Modernization program in the 1980s to Future Combat Systems in the 2000s to the Ground Combat Vehicle in the years after, every major effort has collapsed under cost, complexity, or shifting priorities. Yet the Bradley, first fielded in 1981, continues to roll on battlefields across the world, including Ukraine, where it has finally faced down the Soviet-designed armor it was built to fight.
