Nine days into the war with Iran, U.S. forces alongside the Israeli military continue to bomb targets around Iran and throughout the Middle East as the conflict shows no signs of ending.
U.S. forces have hit more than 3,000 Iranian targets as part of Operation Epic Fury, U.S. Central Command said, with fighter jets, bombers and missiles fired from destroyers. This weekend, President Donald Trump posted to social media saying that the U.S. military is expanding its range of targets and that Iran “will be hit very hard.

L. Ron Hubbard, a Navy veteran, filed for disability claims and was denied—something he attributes to his going off the deep end and eventually founding the most balls crazy religion west of the Mississippi (my words, not his). But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. 
Our story begins during World War II, when military brat (used here as a term of endearment) Lafayette Ronald Hubbard served in the Navy. What did he do in the Navy? Well, it depends on who you ask.

Russian state tech corporation Rostec has stated that the T-72 main battle tank which currently forms the backbone of the country’s armoured units has very significant potential for further modernisation. “The higher the upgrading potential, the better the combat equipment. The T-72B3M tank, produced by our Uralvagonzavod Group, is a platform with almost endless capabilities. This combat vehicle is significantly superior to earlier T-72 models thanks to a modern sighting system, new protective equipment, and a more powerful engine,” the firm observed.

Chairman of the ruling Korean Worker’s Party Kim Jong Un has announced a highly ambitious schedule for destroyer production to revolutionise the Korean People’s Army Navy’s blue water capabilities, which places the service on track to field the world’s fifth largest destroyer fleet in the early 2030s. The Navy’s first destroyer, the Choe Hyon, was launched in April 2025, and from March 3-4, 2026, conducted pre-commissioning trials that saw it conduct manoeuvrability and warship-control tests and validate its combat systems.

The Landstuhl Regional Medical Centre next to the largest U.S. Air Force facility in Europe, Ramstein Air Base, has paused its labor and delivery services to prioritise its “primary objective” of treating casualties from the conflict in the Middle East, as multiple reports have indicated that the damage from Iranian and allied strikes has been severe. The medical centre has also reportedly made urgent calls for blood donations, providing a further indication of a large scale emergency. The facility is the only U.S.

Footage released by Chinese state media has for the first time shown a new variant of the DF-17 medium range hypersonic ballistic missile, which appears to integrate a new kind of hypersonic glide vehicle distinct from the vehicle seen in military parades in 2019 and 2025. Some analysts have assessed that the new glide vehicle is likely a less costly counterpart to the previously seen vehicles, which may be a cost-reduction measure that will allow the missile type to enter service in greater numbers.

The Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has destroyed $3.5 billion worth of high value radar systems during the first week of engagements with U.S. forces, after the Corps responded to U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran from February 28 by launching large scale missile and drone strikes on key military and strategic targets across the Middle East. Although strikes on multiple radar systems of varying value have been reported, including lower value radars such as the AN/TPS-59 valued at around $70 million, three of the U.S.

The CCP is very timid and risk averse. Pushing proxies to do the heavy lifting was the CCP style. With no proxies, the Chinese malign campaign collapses

The CCP is very happy to watch their suborn proxies (i.e. colonies) grind themselves into nothingness.
Russia is the prime case study.
However, China had Venezuela to project deadly activities straight into the U.S. while Iran and its proxies were available to kill Americans and to provoke regional bloodletting to grind down American resources.
