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.

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.
Two soldiers are recovering after a bear attacked and injured them during training in Alaska.
The two soldiers, assigned to the Army’s 11th Airborne Division, were carrying out land navigation training on Thursday, April 16, when they encountered a bear on the grounds of Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson. The two were attacked and used bear spray to fight off and eventually repel the bear.
Both the Army and the Alaska Department of Fish and Game are investigating the attack.
The retirement plaque is still warm. A footlocker is pushed up against the wall because no one got around to digging through it yet. The CAC card has been turned in, the final out-processing checklist signed, and for the first time in two decades, your family’s schedule belongs to no one but you.
Then your kid walks into the kitchen and says, “I talked to a recruiter today.”

And just like that, the finish line you spent 20 years crawling toward picks itself up and moseys on down the road.
Space Force troops helped U.S. forces “to achieve a variety of complex military objectives across the battlespace” in the war with Iran, Chief of Space Operations Gen. Chance Saltzman said this week. He added that Space Force has proven itself to be a “combat credible” part of the U.S. military.
Saltzman, the top officer in Space Force, laid out just how guardians are carrying out space-centric missions as part of Operation Epic Fury, including while taking fire. He also said that when people see the U.S.
