Russian Armed Forces Su-30SM2 long range fighters were deployed for operations over the Baltic region with an unusual weapons configuration, which included a mixed load of Kh-31 anti-radiation missiles and RBK-500 cluster bombs. Footage released by the Spanish Ministry of Defence revealed this loadout, after Spanish Air Force F-18 fighters operating from Siauliai Air Base in Lithuania were scrambled to intercept the Russian aircraft, and after making close approachs took photos of them.
A U.S. Air Force KC-46A aerial tanker’s failure to take off at Moron Air Base in southern Spain has left the facility’s runway closed for several days. The base is a crucial logistics hub for the U.S. Armed Forces, and has recently served as a major stopover for the movement of aircraft, equipment, and personnel to the Middle East. The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration issued its first Notice to Airmen on January 31 indicating that the KC-46A, call sign GOLD71, was located 590 metres from the threshold of Runway 02, and experienced an engine failure during takeoff.
The Turkish Air Force has deployed three F-16 fighters to Mogadishu International Airport, where unconfirmed reports indicate that they will support ongoing operations against local insurgent groups. This follows reports of Turkish plans to take over an airbase in Syria, formerly a longstanding strategic adversary, after the country was overtaken by Turkish-backed jihadist groups in December 2024, many of which had Turkish special forces integrated within their ranks.
In the last century, only one American-flagged ship has been seized by mutineers. It wasn’t a Navy warship, but a merchant vessel laden with 3,500 bombs, steaming toward Vietnam. In March 1970, two desperate crewmen hijacked the SS Columbia Eagle at gunpoint, cast their shipmates adrift, and diverted the arsenal-laden ship into the heart of the Vietnam War’s chaos, sealing their wildly divergent fates.

On March 14, 1970, the SS Columbia Eagle was doing what a lot of ships did during the Vietnam War.

The Pentagon released the following today:
February 3rd, 2026
When Secretary of War Pete Hegseth took office a year ago, matching new technologies to threats was one of his core priorities. He commissioned an acquisition strategy to swiftly outfit our combat units with lethal drones.
The War Department today announced the 25 vendors invited to compete in Phase I of the Drone Dominance Program (DDP), an acquisition reform effort designed to rapidly field low cost, unmanned one way attack drones at scale as part of strengthening America’s Arsenal of Freedom.
An American stealth fighter jet shot down an Iranian one-way attack drone in the Arabian Sea Tuesday after it “aggressively approached” a U.S. aircraft carrier “with unclear intent,” according to a statement from U.S. Central Command.
Just hours after the shootdown, two Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps ships accompanied by another unmanned aerial system — this one an Iranian Mohajer drone — approached a U.S.-flagged tanker in the Strait of Hormuz, threatening to board and seize the vessel, the statement from Centcom spokesperson Capt. Tim Hawkins said.
An Army unit that deployed to the Middle East at the height of 2023 drone attacks on U.S. forces is headed back to the region, Army officials said this week.
Approximately 1,900 soldiers with the 2nd Mobile Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division, have been authorized to deploy this spring, though the final deployment numbers may be lower, said Maj. Jason Elmore, a spokesperson for the 10th Mountain Division.
The unit is replacing the Iowa National Guard’s 2nd Infantry Brigade Combat Team, 34th Infantry Division, which was deployed to U.S.
The Pentagon named 25 vendors Tuesday to compete in the first phase of the department’s “Drone Dominance Program,” a list that includes known and relatively unknown companies in the unmanned aerial systems industry.
The evaluation, which officials are calling “the Gauntlet,” will begin on Feb. 18 at Fort Benning in Georgia, according to a press release. Military drone operators will fly and evaluate vendor equipment into early March, when the Defense Department will begin ordering $150 million worth of prototype deliveries expected to arrive over the following five months.
