Over the past decade, the Department of Defense has tested internal software development through efforts like the Air Force’s Kessel Run, the Army Software Factory, and the Marine Corps Software Factory. Those efforts showed that military personnel can build useful software when given the right tools and infrastructure.In its push to make better use of data, the Army fielded powerful digital platforms as a service across the force, such as Palantir’s Army Vantage and the Department of Defense’s GenAI.mil. These programs were meant to improve analysis and decision-making.

For four years, analysts and policymakers have warned that Russian President Vladimir Putin “cannot afford to lose” in Ukraine. Increasingly, some argue he cannot afford peace either. In this view, the war is existential for his regime. Defeat would shatter Putin’s legacy and potentially end his rule. Trapped between humiliation and collapse, inviting comparisons to the fate of the last Russian tsar, Nicholas II, Putin is portrayed as having no viable off-ramp from an unwinnable war.These assumptions were central to Biden-era debates over escalation management.

Marines and sailors splashing ashore from landing boats has become a defining image of the history of the U.S. Marine Corps. It happened for the first time at the town of Nassau in the British colony of the Bahamas on March 3, 1776. While the operation itself was a tactical success, its impact on the broader war for American independence was marred by inexperience and poor judgment.

The French Armed Forces have deployed Eurocopter Tiger attack helicopters to the Middle East to support the ongoing U.S.-led war effort against Iran, with the aircraft intended to improve air defence capabilities against Iranian drone attacks. The Tiger is a dedicated attack platform built for armed reconnaissance, close air support, anti-armour missions. Compared to the U.S.-built AH-64 Apache attack helicopters already widely deployed in the region, however, its combat potential is very considerably lower.

The U.S.Air Force is continuing developmental and operational testing of its newest fighter type, the F-15EX Eagle II, as the 96th Test Wing and 53rd Wing focus on next-generation survivability systems, radar performance, sensor integration, and networking capabilities. Air Force testers are also holding focus groups with operational maintainers to revise and correct technical orders used for servicing the new fighter. Testing has gained considerably urgency as the F-15EX is expected to be relied on not only for the defence of the U.S.
