The ex-USS Tarawa, a decommissioned U.S. Navy amphibious assault ship, is set to be sunk off the coast of Hawaii at the upcoming 2024 Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) exercise. This is the first time in nearly two decades that a Tarawa class vessel will be destroyed as a target and it is only the second example to be used for this purpose. This is also the first time in more than a decade that an amphibious assault ship of any kind will be sent beneath the waves in a U.S.-led exercise.

Doing so could offer a relatively quick path to acquiring the capabilities that weapons like this provide — ones that are missing from the U.S.

This is among the revelations from a senior Ukrainian Air Force official, interviewed recently, which provide some fascinating insights into the air war with Russia.

The gathering, which will be the next round in SOFWERX’s “innovation foundry” series, is being organized as the Defense Department worries that its supply lines could be interrupted by advanced adversaries armed with precision guided munitions and other weapons capable of taking out ships, aircraft and other logistics platforms.
New satellite images obtained by The War Zone from Maxar Technologies on Monday show a clearer view of the Su-57 Felon next-generation fighter targeted in a Ukrainian drone attack on an airbase deep inside Russia that we wrote about yesterday. The images also show three Felons, Moscow’s most advanced warplane, on the apron at Akhtubinsk Air Base, located about 365 miles from the front lines, in Russia before and after the June 8 attack.
