When journalists or policy experts fretfully discuss arms racing and military buildups in the Indo-Pacific, they tend to focus on Northeast Asian autocracies rather than Southeast Asian democracies. And yet Indonesia, a historically non-aligned nation with no recent history of great-power war, is currently engaged in a process of unprecedented military expansion. If fully realized, this sweeping set of reforms will grow its total active-duty personnel to over 1.2 million in just five years.

The Iraqi Defence Ministry is currently holding talks to procure K2 Black Panther main battle tanks from South Korea, with a possible acquisition o up to 250 vehicles having the potential to make its tank fleet the most capable in the Middle East. A high-level Iraqi delegation visited Hyundai Rotem’s production facilities in the summer of 2025, with a contract valued at roughly $6.5 billion reported by South Korean analysts to be expected to be signed later in 2026.

After a renewed push from President Donald Trump for America to annex Greenland from Denmark, NATO reportedly agreed on a “framework of a future deal” this week that could involve potential U.S. rights over the Arctic island’s critical minerals, as well as new collaboration associated with the Trump administration’s proposed Golden Dome missile defense system.

For decades, Russia’s military has lived in the West’s imagination as a looming, mechanized nightmare: the kind that comes with gray paint, ominous marching music, and enough tanks to remind anyone of World War II’s Eastern Front. And to be fair, Moscow has (allegedly) built some genuinely formidable hardware.
But the problem with trying to flex all the time is that history has a way of kicking the legs out from under the propaganda, because alongside the successes sits a glorious junk drawer of big, expensive, and public disasters.

The Marine Corps officially designated GenAI.mil as its preferred large language model platform this week, a move that largely distances the service from older AI systems that are owned and operated by other branches of the military.
In a force-wide message published Wednesday, the Corps said GenAI.mil — the Pentagon’s recently launched hub for commercial large language models — is authorized for all Marines, civilians and contractors to use.

If the M60 machine gun was the jealous, high-maintenance spouse whose father pushed that shotgun wedding, the M72 Light Anti-Tank Weapon (LAW) was the reckless fling you prayed would answer your call when things got desperate at 2 AM.

Soldiers on opposing teams don’t usually train together for a competition, and they certainly don’t get the opportunity to use their French bulldog to help them prep. That’s probably because, in most cases, they’re not married and serving as combat medics.
During late-night training sessions at home, Sgts. Caleb and Kaitlin Flynn used their pet dog to get in some reps and sets for canine casualty care — one of the events that soldiers compete in during the annual competition.

Soldiers assigned to Hawaii have been told they might be “doubled up” in their barracks for at least 15 months, or even longer.
In a town hall with soldiers in Hawaii, an Army commander said officials will have little choice but to keep some soldiers doubled up in barracks rooms as the Army increases the number of troops assigned to Hawaii. Virtually all junior soldiers live on base in Hawaii due to the state’s sky-high cost of living.

Turns out, news of the SCAR’s death was greatly exaggerated. On January 15, 2026, FN announced the next generation of the SCAR.

When I was in middle school, I ate lunch every day with the same group of boys. Most of us brought the same brown-bagged peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, faithfully made by our parents. One boy, however, regularly brought fluffernutter and banana sandwiches. Before long, curiosity turned into demand, and classmates began paying him fifty cents for the alternative. Our parents still packed peanut butter and jelly — but most went uneaten, discarded unopened into cafeteria trash cans.America’s depots are increasingly becoming the uneaten peanut butter and jelly.

Tensions between India and Pakistan — two countries that President Donald Trump claimed had been fighting for 1,500 years — escalated rapidly over a few days in May 2025.On May 7–10, the two countries fought an 88-hour war after India accused Pakistan of orchestrating a gruesome terrorist attack in April that killed 26 civilians. This was one of the most significant conflicts between the two nuclear-armed rivals in decades. The war involved a series of unprecedented strikes on Pakistani territory, counter-air battles, aerial-drone duels, naval maneuvers, and disinformation campaigns.

The Russian Airspace Forces on January 22 deployed Tu-22M3 strategic bombers for a patrol over the neutral waters of the Baltic Sea, a leading potential hotspot for conflict with NATO. Reporting on the operations, the Russian Defence Ministry observed: “Tu-22M3 long-range bombers of the Russian Aerospace Forces have performed a scheduled flight over neutral waters of the Baltic Sea. They were escorted by Su-35S and Su-30SM aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces.

The U.S. Coast Guard is refining and integrating a new generative AI-enabled platform to help personnel quickly retrieve reliable answers from referenceable internal sources via a secure data environment that is configured to support their specific operations.

With a gross weight of 35 tons, the eight-wheeled ACV is capable of carrying up to 16 Marines (including its three-person crew) from ship to shore and has emerged as a critical tool in the service’s amphibious repertoire since the first batch of vehicles arrived to units in 2020.

In late December, a new wave of protests broke out in Iran — eventually spreading around the country and across many sectors of society. Due to an internet blackout imposed on Jan. 8, information is limited, but reports suggest that thousands of Iranian protesters were killed in the government’s crackdown. The protests came at a time when the Iranian regime looked particularly vulnerable due to a struggling economy, an aging leadership, and a weakened regional position.

After years of testing mishaps and schedule delays, the Army says it has begun the fielding process for its Long-Range Hypersonic Weapon (LRHW) system.

Once delivery of the entire battery is complete, Dark Eagle will be the United States’ first-ever operational hypersonic weapon system.
