The Army wants to get a new ground drone that can both resupply forward-deployed infantry and help carry wounded soldiers off the front lines and to medical treatment. 
The Army is seeking the new vehicle to help navigate what it calls the “last tactical mile,” the last part of terrain leading to the front lines, where any transport or personnel moving to resupply troops are under the greatest threat. “This phase is often the most dangerous and logistically complex, requiring innovative solutions to ensure mission success and force protection,” the Army wrote.

Russian state sources have reported continued progress in efforts to improve the capabilities of the countries TOS series thermobaric rocket artillery systems, referred to locally as “heavy flamethrower” systems, as they continue to play a central role on the frontlines in the Ukrainian theatre. A significant landmark in these efforts has been the development of the TOS-2 Tosochka system, which has been reported by local sources to have surpassed the scope of an assault weapon, and been able to function as an advanced fire support system.

Footage from Algeria has indicated increasingly high intensity deployments of CHL-906 mobile integrated electronic reconnaissance and electronic attack systems, which appear to have been procured from China in considerable numbers. The system was first seen when the Algerian Ministry of National Defence released imagery showing vehicles associated with the system participating in an exercise in the 3rd Military Region in the strategically located southwest region.

Following confirmation from the state intermediary agency for Russian defence exports Rosoboronexport that multiple countries have placed orders for Su-57 fifth generation fighter aircraft, reports from a number of Indian sources indicated that alongside Algeria and Iran, the Indian Defence Ministry has also finalised contracts for procurements. This follows confirmation from the Indian Defence Ministry in January 2026 that talks for the license production of the aircraft had reached an advanced technical stage, a year after it first confirmed that talks were underway.

The AIM-260A Joint Advanced Tactical Missile (JATM) is scheduled to be procured at an expanded rate by the U.S. Air Force and Navy from 2026, with the U.S. Congress having in March cleared the missile’s first ever export to equip the Royal Australian Air Force, after which other sales to a wide range of foreign clients are expected to follow. Although the missile is the first clean sheet design to enter service in the U.S.

The Russian Iskander-K cruise missile system has gained growing publicity for its role in the Russian Ukrainian War, and although often overshadowed by the capabilities of the Iskander-M ballistic missile system which has been employed on a much larger scale, the challenges it poses to NATO members’ rear facilities in the event of a full scale war are in many respects greater. The Iskander-K entered service in the mid-2010s, approximately a decade behind the Iskander-M system, and was designed to provide a complementary low-altitude, precision deep-strike capability.
