Indian Air Force Air Chief Marshal Amar Preet Singh has confirmed that the service’s newly procured S-400 long range air defence systems are able to engage enemy aircraft over extreme distances, and demonstrated this capability during clashes with Pakistani forces in early May. The S-400 shot down “one large aircraft, which could be an ELINT aircraft or an AEW&C aircraft, which was taken out from a distance of about 300km,” he observed, noting that this was “the largest-ever recorded surface-to-air kill that we can talk about.

Military families already juggle deployments, PCS moves, and inconsistent schedules—throw in multiple kids in different sports, and the chaos can feel Olympic-level. Here’s how to survive the season without burning out or breaking the budget.
When you’ve got more than one kid in cleats, jerseys, or leotards—and you’re also managing the rollercoaster that is military life—“busy” doesn’t even begin to cover it.
Ticks are a reality, particularly during the summer. While most of us are familiar with this summer pest, most Americans are completely unaware of the long list of deadly conditions that are directly linked to tick bites.
Tick-borne diseases and conditions are transmitted through the bite of an infected tick. These include Alpha-gal syndrome (AGS), Lyme disease, Anaplasmosis, Ehrlichiosis, Babesiosis, Powassan (POW), Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, and Tularemia. Ticks can be infected with bacteria, viruses, or parasites.

It’s a short hop from Orlando to the most sophisticated human space launch center in the world, the Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral. Orlando is the largest city in Orange County, Florida, but there are many others, both large and small. All have easy access to Orlando’s world class airport, the major roads crossing Florida (I-95, I-4 and the FL Turnpike, among others), developable land, and the deep water port at Cocoa.
A Space Tech ecosystem is growing across Orange County and Central Florida.
As the military’s major mover of people, weapons and aid, U.S. Transportation Command has hundreds of airlift sorties in-flight, 15 or more ships underway, at least 10 commercial tankers on hire, 1,000-plus freight shipments and 200-plus railcars enroute, and 10 patients in air evacuations on any given day, according to recent data.
Those high-stakes operations are unfolding against a backdrop where determined enemies are increasingly trying to disrupt the command’s logistics assets, facilities and activities across the world, and in cyberspace.
Whether it’s an economic disaster, the actual Apocalypse, or a second civil war, everyone is looking for ways to save money, stretch their food supply, or just prepare for whatever might be coming down the road. Whether you’re an actual prepper or just feeling the pinch of inflation, you might be buying cheaper foods, but that doesn’t mean you need to eat like a hobo.
Americans preparing for a second civil war can actually learn a lot from the guys who fought in the first Civil War.
In June, 4,100 California National Guardsmen were put under federal control and deployed to Los Angeles. Two months later, and after most have withdrawn from the city and been released back to the state’s command, a court will now decide if that was even legal.
The trial over the use of the California National Guard started Monday in a district court in San Francisco.

It was only a matter of time until there was a serious incident involving Chinese bullying in the South China Sea, but I didn’t have a Red-on-Red on my betting card.
“The [Chinese coastguard vessel] CCG 3104, which was chasing the [Philippine coastguard vessel] BRP Suluan at high speed, performed a risky manoeuvre from the [Philippine] vessel’s starboard quarter, leading to the impact with the PLA [People’s Liberation Army] Navy warship,” spokesman Commodore Jay Tarriela said in a statement.
