Pyongyang has a long history of conducting irregular warfare and asymmetric operations: Look no further than the 1968 Blue House raid or the 1996 submarine incursion as the most pressing examples. More often than not, North Korea failed to achieve the intended objectives of its missions and lost its commandos. Despite failures, the regime pressed on, and now, over thirty years after the sub incursion, it has the combat experience of its special operations forces in Kursk to leverage.

United States Air Force F-35 stealth fighters are set to participate in India’s multinational Tarang Shakti 2026 air exercise, marking the first time the fifth generation aircraft will conduct tactical missions alongside Indian fighters from an Indian airbase. The exercise is scheduled to begin on September 26 at Jodhpur Air Force Station in Rajasthan, approximately 200 kilometres from the Pakistani border, and will continue through October 12. The F-35s will operate alongside a broad range of Indian combat aircraft, including the Su-30MKI, Rafale, Tejas and Mirage 2000.
The United States Air Force has received its first two unmanned fighter aircraft, marking a major milestone in the service’s effort to introduce semi-autonomous combat aircraft into operational units. The General Atomics FQ-42 Vengeance and Anduril FQ-44 Fury have arrived at Creech Air Force Base in Nevada, where Air Combat Command will conduct operational experimentation to determine how the aircraft can be employed alongside crewed fighters.
General Electric Aerospace has provided a glimpse of what could eventually become one of the most radical American military aircraft concepts since the 1960s, showcasing a futuristic hypersonic aircraft powered by its dual-mode ramjet technology. A video released by General Electric Aerospace in 2025 depicted a sleek high-speed aircraft accompanied by the slogan, “Everything seems impossible…until it isn’t,” prompting speculation that the company could be envisioning an aircraft capable of operating at speeds far beyond those achieved any existing military aircraft.
NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman has pointed to the development of a new experimental aircraft capable of operating at extreme speeds and altitudes, presenting a mysterious silhouette that immediately drew comparisons to the Cold War era SR-71 Blackbird. The SR-71 was designed to fly at over three times the speed of sound and at altitudes of over 25,000 metres, which was intended to make it highly challenging to target. “In the service of the first A [aeronautics] in NASA, we are rebuilding our X-plane fleet.
There are a lot of reasons to think that the Iran War will represent bad news for President Donald Trump and the Republican Party in the midterm elections in November.
The war is historically very unpopular and has been for a long time.

BAE Systems delivered two concept infantry fighting vehicles to the Army’s top armored division earlier this year, a self-funded project the company has since billed as an example of adapting existing platforms with new tech — in this case, without the service explicitly asking for it.
In April, the 1st Cavalry Division out of Fort Hood, Texas, received two Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicles (AMPV) equipped with a 30mm turret and counter-drone sensors.
A decade ago, after my 30th reunion, I wrote an article that went viral; it was titled — The United States Air Force Academy Doesn’t Train Warriors Anymore. It was a heartfelt expression of my disgust and horror of what had become of my beloved Academy under the reign of the Marxist Obama, as well as under the Bush and Clinton families which were not much better, in fact secretly aligned with much of Obama’s agenda.
The Navy issued a call for solutions this week as it steams ahead with plans to add new sea drone technologies to the military’s online marketplace and build up its uncrewed systems arsenal.
The solicitation, posted on a government contracting website, is related to onboarding of “Phase II” medium unmanned surface vessels.
Plans for the onboarding effort were laid out in an announcement by the Department of the Navy direct reporting portfolio manager for robotics and autonomous systems.
The Air Force Thunderbirds might be the most heavily photographed airplanes in the U.S. military. The Pentagon’s official photography archive lists over 20,000 photos and 500 videos of the team’s pilots and F-16 jets.
But some of the most remarkable images ever released of the demonstration team were made public Monday inside the pages of a formal accident investigation report on the cause of a crash of one of the team’s jets last December.
