The Ukrainian military is getting arrogant with the constant supply of the most expensive, lethal weapons western militaries can offer — a hundred billion dollars worth.
See the video below from ‘Captain Himars’. Himars is the U.S. rocket launch system which the Kremlin says killed a large number of conscripts at a barracks recently in the Russian-controlled, Eastern Ukrainian region of Donbass.

Ukrainian intelligence officials say that after Russia launched several large waves of drone attacks on Ukraine last week, it is due to receive another shipment of hundreds of drones from Iran sometime in the not-too-distant future.
“To date, they have used approximately 660 Shahed drones,” Vadym Skibitskyi, a representative of Ukraine’s Defense Intelligence Directorate (GUR), told the Ukrainian RBC-Ukraine news outlet in an interview on Wednesday. “The contract calls for 1,750.

A picture of what appears to be a FAB-500M-62 bomb with a kit attached that features pop-out wings loaded onto a Russian Su-34 Fullback combat jet has emerged online. While there are no clear indications that the modified weapon is guided, the wing kit could still allow the bomb to be employed against target areas at extended ranges, allowing pilots to stay further away from enemy air defenses. Any such unguided strikes would be very inaccurate, but could still be used against very broad area targets, such as Ukrainian cities.

The Pentagon’s National Security Innovation Network (NSIN) is set to kick off a new program that will enable a fresh cohort of early-stage companies to speedily pilot autonomous, 5G and other emerging technologies — directly with and for the Navy’s Pacific Fleet.
Applications for the NSIN Propel Hawaii accelerator are due from startups by this Friday, and demonstrations of their newly developed capabilities are slated for May 25.

The Russian Navy’s first Project 22350 frigate, the Admiral Gorshkov, has set out on a deployment armed, in part, with new Zircon hypersonic cruise missiles, according to officials in that country.

Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu announced Gorshkov‘s deployment, which he said would see the warship sail in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans and the Mediterranean Sea, earlier today during a ceremony.

The U.S. Air Force has retired one of its least-known assets, the RC-26B Condor surveillance aircraft. While the twin turboprop could hardly look more unobtrusive, it actually led a quite remarkable career, emerging from the shadowy war on drugs and becoming a highly versatile asset for a wide range of missions. It was, in many ways, ‘the little spy plane that could.
