A Ukrainian drone strike launched by the country’s Unmanned Systems Forces has destroyed a launcher from a Russian S-400 long range air defence system, which was deployed near the Black Sea resort town of Gelendzhik in Russia’s Krasnodar region. According to Ukrainian sources, the launcher was part of a system that had carried out six ballistic missile launches against Ukraine the day before the strike. The drone strike was but part of a broader overnight operation that struck multiple Russian targets, including other air defence systems.

How Trump Plans to “Win” the Iran War and Prepare for the Next One – U.S. President Donald Trump promised that the war with Iran would end with nothing less than total surrender, but as the Iran war approaches the six-month mark, it is becoming more likely that the president will make concessions to the Islamic regime in the hopes of ending the war and opening the Strait of Hormuz.

Marines in South Korea carried out their first live-fire tests with new first-person-view one-way attack drones, which give infantry squads the ability to strike enemy positions as far as kilometers away.
On July 30, Marines from the 3rd Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion conducted one test, while last week on Aug. 5, Marines from 3rd Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment carried out a live-fire test only a few miles south of the demilitarized zone. In both tests, Marines operated Neros Archer drones, a small quadcopter model meant to fly into targets and take them out.
The Army quietly moved III Armored Corps to its new Western Hemisphere Command in recent weeks, part of ongoing restructuring of the service.
The change, ordered by Secretary of the Army Dan Driscoll last month, was effective immediately. It’s the second time in a year that III Armored Corps has been moved to a different command. Late last year, the corps was reassigned to Army Europe and Africa after Army Forces Command was shuttered.
An Army official confirmed the shift to Task & Purpose last week.
The term “milspouse” is a portmanteau of “military” and “spouse,” which might not be the most creative construction, but it gets the point across, and that’s what matters. Its origin is about as clean as these things get.
“Army brat,” on the other hand, is a genuine mystery. Nobody actually knows where it came from. What we’ve got instead is a handful of competing theories, each with a little evidence behind it and none with a smoking gun.
Words hold significant power; they shape thoughts, impact emotions, and influence behavior. This makes them one of the sharpest tools humans possess. Ultimately, the power of words should never be underestimated, which is why the word “dependent” doesn’t sit well with some in the military spouse community.

The U.S.-led war effort against Iran is reportedly placing increasing pressure on U.S. Armed Forces stocks of air-defence interceptors and precision-guided weapons, raising concerns that Washington’s ability to respond to a major contingency in East Asia could be seriously weakened. According to a report by The New York Times, the conflict has resulted in severe munitions shortages and forced the United States to divert hundreds of advanced missile-defence systems from South Korea and elsewhere in East Asia to protect American forces and bases in the Middle East.
Russia is assessing the viability of integrating first-person-view (FPV) drones onto its main battle tanks, as part of efforts to combine conventional armoured warfare with rapidly evolving unmanned systems. Dmitry Kuzyakin, the chief designer at the Centre for Integrated Unmanned Solutions, said Russian forces had already experimented with armoured vehicles capable of carrying and launching FPV drones, including while moving. The concept will allow tank crews to launch FPV drones over considerable distances for reconnaissance and strike missions without leaving their vehicles.
Russia is reportedly preparing to receive between 30,000 and 50,000 additional North Korean military personnel, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, potentially representing a dramatic expansion of Pyongyang’s military involvement in the ongoing Russian-Ukrainian War.
