As a former rotor head, this is great video.
The footage shows the unit providing covering fire as commandos rush aboard the aircraft, with a door gunner engaging suspected threats during the extraction. The video also appears to show a malfunction involving an M249 machine gun, though details remain unconfirmed.
Open-source reports claim the unit was conducting a “hot extraction” during a counter-narcotics operation following an engagement with suspected drug traffickers. The video’s location, date, and authenticity have not been independently verified by SOFX.

Russia and Ukraine Racing Neck and Neck in the Battlefield Innovation Race – Which side in the Russo-Ukrainian war has the technological advantage? One could argue that Ukraine has a clear high-tech edge. The defenders are adept at fighting a battle, holding a real-time “hot wash” after-action review, and making technological innovations on the fly. This is particularly true with drones.
But Russia has a vote in this contest too. They have developed their own attack drones and have adjusted defensive tactics to bog down Ukraine on the battlefield.

As the war in Iran continues to escalate, Iran’s neighbors and other regional nations are anxiously awaiting the conflict to end so that trade can return to normal. Pakistan, which shares a border with Iran, has been hit especially hard by the ripple effects of the ongoing conflict. The two nations were very close trade partners prior to the start of the war. However, since March, Pakistani businesses have taken considerable losses after losing some of their most important international customers.

Hazing could become a specific charge under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, under a provision in the upcoming fiscal year’s defense spending bill.
The proposal would require the Secretary of Defense and the Joint Service Committee on Military Justice to consider adding hazing to the UCMJ as a standalone offense or as a modifier to other charges. That might mean adding hazing as a specific offense under Article 93, which bans cruelty, oppression or maltreatment of subordinates.
Northrop Grumman’s novel Mission Robotic Vehicle (MRV) and three “jetpack” pods were lifted into orbit Tuesday night, kicking off the company’s next batch of efforts designed to extend the life of aging satellites.
The MRV and Mission Extension Pods (MEPs) were launched onboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
The Defense Department is adding a new element to its billion-dollar Drone Dominance Program by incorporating unmanned aerial systems that are reusable and can drop bombs on enemy targets.
Since its inception last year, the program has been focused on evaluating and procuring large quantities of low-cost, one-way attack drones for the military, with the goal of rapidly fielding them across the force. Now, that portfolio is expanding, the Pentagon announced this week.
“Drones are reshaping the character of war.
