The Moroccan Defence Ministry has begun evaluating a potential acquisition of up to 400 South Korean K2 Black Panther main battle tanks, as part of a broader modernisation plan for the country’s ground forces. This follows a visit to Seoul in April 2025 by Morocco’s Minister of Industry and Trade, Ryad Mezzour, during which he formally expressed an interest in the K2.

CEO of the Russian unmanned aircraft developer Geron, Vladimir Tabunov, has announced the development of the ‘Predator’ stratospheric unmanned multifunctional platform, which was designed for long range high-altitude missions to partially replace certain functions of satellite and ground-based systems. Designed to fly at low subsonic speeds of Mach 0.46, the aircraft will have a 12,000 kilometre range, 15,000 metre operational altitude, and payload of up to 500 kilograms.

The U.S. Navy destroyer USS Zumwalt has departed Pascagoula, Mississippi for sea trials, and is the first warship to do so while configured to be equipped with intercontinental range missiles. The Zumwalt has been under refit since August 2023, during which its twi 155mm Advanced Gun System turrets were removed and replaced with 12 launch tubes or the Conventional Prompt Strike (CPS) intercontinental range hypersonic missile. The missile has a terminal speed exceeding Mach 5 and an unknown range that exceeds 6000 kilometres. It for the first time provides the U.S.

Ukrainian armored units are getting the ‘hedgehog armor’, a system similar to a wire brush covering the exterior of an armored vehicle to protect against drones. The wire causes the drone warhead to explode some distance from the exterior of the vehicle, preventing damage.

The Army’s most senior civilian official recently criticized a counter-drone system that soldiers have been employing for years, including in training and on patrols along the U.S.-Mexico border in recent months.
Army Secretary Dan Driscoll told soldiers during a town hall at Fort Drum, New York, this week that the Dronebuster — a handheld jammer designed to zap unmanned aerial systems out of the sky — is “fucking terrible” in his experience.
“It’s a joke,” he said.

Defense giants Lockheed Martin and GE Aerospace recently completed a series of tests for an experimental engine that could reach hypersonic speeds at lower cost, the companies announced Wednesday.
Under a joint technology development effort, Lockheed and GE are developing a liquid-fueled rotating detonation ramjet system that could allow missiles to fly farther and reach speeds of at least Mach 5 — considered the threshold for hypersonic flight. Following the recent ground-based demonstrations of the technology, both firms plan to continue maturation throughout 2026, a news release stated.

A proposed law introduced in Congress this week aims to require private military housing companies to pay for expenses involving mold, including relocating families when their homes become uninhabitable. But an attorney who practices military law says the legislation lacks any teeth.
The bill has no method of forcing the private companies to pay for the expenses they would be required to cover.

The F-16 Fighting Falcon was originally designed to be a daytime air superiority fighter, but over the decades of its service life, it has evolved into an all-weather, multi-role attack platform. The first F-16 rolled off the manufacturing line in 1976, and ultimately more than 4,500 aircraft followed it.
During the design of the F-16, some elements of other aircraft, including the F-15 and F-111, were incorporated to enhance it and “reduce its size, purchase price, maintenance costs, and weight,” according to the Air Force.

The commander of the Army Corps of Engineers Little Rock District was relieved from his position Thursday in a seemingly politically charged firing that two members of Congress and a Trump administration official implied was tied to a local dispute over waterfront homes on a Missouri lake.
The Army announced Thursday the firing of Col. Patrick Caukin, a Corps of Engineers district commander. Unusually for a command relief announcement, the Army statement did not name Caukin, but a spokesperson for the Little Rock District confirmed his identity to Task & Purpose.

The U.S. agency responsible for providing intelligence on foreign militaries is reaching out to industry in its pursuit of new capabilities to test, evaluate, verify and validate new AI technologies.

The Army’s top civilian leader said that the service will “kill NIPR” at multiple locations — likely starting next month — in an experiment to see if commercial internet solutions would be more effective.
Speaking to soldiers at a town hall at Fort Drum, New York, on Monday, Army Secretary Dan Driscoll said “we’re going to bring you down to the commercial internet and we think it will solve all sorts of problems.” If the evaluation is successful, the Army will scale it across the service, he added.

The Medal of Honor is the highest military award for valor authorized by Congress and is issued by the president. Earned for bravery during combat, the first medal was first struck on Dec. 21, 1861, specifically for the Navy, but was adapted for the U.S. Army several months later.
Since then, 3,547 brave men and women have received the Medal of Honor as of January 2026. Those precious medals have to come from somewhere.

Lockheed Martin has intercepted a drone by firing JAGM from a quad launcher at a 90-degree angle for the first time.

Service members and military families are frequent targets for identity theft—especially during PCS moves, deployments, and major life transitions. One of the simplest and most effective ways to protect yourself is by freezing your credit.
A credit freeze prevents criminals from opening new accounts in your name. It’s free, takes only a few minutes to set up, and puts you in full control of who can access your credit.
What Is a Credit Freeze?
A credit freeze (also called a security freeze) blocks lenders from viewing your credit report unless you temporarily lift the freeze.

New year, new you; right? But let’s be honest, the “new year, new me” mentality can feel impossible when resources are limited, schedules are unpredictable, or trying to invest in yourself feels expensive. That’s where this checklist comes in. Curated with military families and service members in mind, it highlights fitness, nutrition, mental health, sleep, and habit-building tools. Whatever your goals are for 2026, it’s worth acknowledging that your health matters.

Troops, families and veterans will be able to order groceries to their door — bringing base commissaries into the 21st century.

The Chinese Tianma-1000 unmanned transport aircraft completed its maiden flight on Sunday January 11, marking a major milestone in the country’s efforts to pioneer advances in autonomous airborne logistics capabilities. The aircraft was independently developed by Xi’an Aisheng Technology Group, and can serve as a logistics transport, emergency rescue, and material delivery vehicle, while being able to operate in complex plateau terrain due to its ultra-short takeoff and landing distances.

As this article goes to press, security officials in Iran are carefully weighing their options on how to dole out violence to preserve an authoritarian system. It is an existential moment for any authoritarian regime, and one that Chinese leader Xi Jinping must be watching closely. He strongly believes the People’s Liberation Army must be prepared to defeat any enemies within the elite, among the Chinese population, or overseas.
