🦩 FP-5 "Flamingo" is a Ukrainian ground-launched unmanned aerial system capable of delivering up to 1,150 kg of payload over a range of up to 3,000 km - the largest of its class.
The system operates day and night, even under active electronic warfare conditions. It does not… pic.twitter.com/BF6LJI9Wlc
An Overland ULTRA is staged prior to a simulated resupply on Range 220 during Service Level Training Exercise 4-26 on Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center, Twentynine Palms, California, Aug. 14, 2026. The Overland ULTRA is an autonomous, uncrewed ground vehicle that 2nd Marine Division is testing for its capabilities to resupply Marines in austere environments. SLTE 4-26 is designed to be a challenging, realistic training environment that produces combat-ready forces capable of operating as an integrated Marine Air Ground Task Force across all domains of military operations.

A gutted Light Tactical Vehicle at least makes sense in this role and if you give it a follow the leader type coding then perhaps they can get it into the field yesterday...but AI is all the hotness so more experimentation I'm sure.
While I have doubts about the Light Tactical Vehicle on the modern battlefield, if paired with this concept (assuming it works) then it could be used to quadruple magazine depth for loitering drones, anti-tank missiles, anti-air missiles etc....then it becomes a question of footprint because if dispersed squads are suppose to take on armored companies then they're gonna need alot more firepower.
Note. The WNBA has no one to blame but themselves for the mess they find themselves in. They were all on the bandwagon of "I identify with whatever" so I am whatever trend that swept the country. Now its biting them in the ass. Talk about painting themselves in a corner. Worse? If they allow these MEN (although there are rumors about Britney Griner) to join their league then in less than 5 years the league will be no more. They really fucked themselves.
Enes Kanter Freedom says he wants the Indiana Fever to draft him so he and Caitlin Clark can become the "modern KOBE AND SHAQ."
BRUCE PEARL: "Caitlin's not passing you the ball!"
FREEDOM: "Listen, me and Caitlin will be modern Kobe and Shaq. I'm telling you!"
🇮🇹 Four years ago today, on 12 August 2022, the first AW249 prototype flew from Leonardo’s Vergiate facility.
Four years later, the Fenice has made its public flying debut, series production has begun and 19 aircraft are procured, with Italian Army service expected from 2028. 🚁 pic.twitter.com/tRm8moKYHY
Tanks are gone. The Marine Corps has a huge firepower gap and I DO NOT BELIEVE that we will have enough loitering munitions to blunt an enemy attack (especially since HQMC is looking out to sea instead of fighting the land battle). With that being said if they can mount this on a EMAV then we should be able to mount it on the ACV. Buy more, consider it a fire support vehicle so it won't carry Marines into battle, if necessary don't worry about making this version of the ACV swim but get the GCE some in house fire support!
Thought this thing was already in service. Apparently I was wrong. Seems like the Chinese are big into evolutionary improvements when it comes to their ground forces while attempting revolutionary leaps when it comes to their aerospace forces. Story here.
Sorry boys (and girls). The entire article is behind a paywall but enough of it is readable that its worth your while. Got no time? They've tested it with JDAM-LR's. Story here.
Several police departments released their audit logs under public records requests and failed to redact the plates. A site called https://t.co/3oYK74zYi3 collected them.
Man. In this case what if his people are from a poor village and can't afford to attend his graduation. For the US side the same applies. Unless they're offering free transportation then its a kick in the ass for recruits from poor families. Of course it could be something even more irksome for the recruit. Broken families, no family, estranged family...the list kinda goes on.
This part of their graduation needs to be shit canned.
For weeks, unrest between white and Black crew members had been simmering below the busy flight deck and through the labyrinth of cramped passageways, mess halls and crew quarters. On Oct. 12, these tensions finally boiled over into bloody violence.
That night, as Kitty Hawk’s warplanes were bombing North Vietnam, the carrier’s white and Black crew members traded blows and attacked each other with makeshift weapons, including wrenches and broken-off broom handles. The chaos engulfed the ship and left dozens wounded. Worse, it precipitated one of the worst miscarriages of justice in the history of the U.S. Navy.
The Marine Corps has signed off on an $11 million contract with defense tech contractor Epirus for a counter-unmanned aircraft system (C-UAS) installed on ground vehicles, the company announced today. the company will deliver a (HAVOC) system for counter-drone operations. pic.twitter.com/wGkmFhQqPI
