Held my first call with the newly appointed UK... Defence Secretary Dan Jarvis MP. As we maintain the battlefield initiative, the next 6-9 months are critical to turning the tide—provided our partners sustain rapid, high-impact support. We focused on boosting our air defense, procuring advanced radars, and securing Gripen jets to neutralize Russian glide bomb carriers. We also discussed utilizing frozen Russian assets to fund our defense capabilities and thanked the UK for its decisive actions against Russia’s shadow fleet. Grateful to the UK for its unwavering strategic partnership. Looking forward to expanding our cooperation on defense tech and coordination ahead of the UDCG summit.show more

NEWS: SpaceX has released a statement after today's successful... 11th Starship test flight. "Every major objective of the flight test was achieved, providing valuable data as we prepare the next generation of Starship and Super Heavy. The flight test began with Super Heavy igniting all 33 Raptor engines and ascending over the Gulf. The successful first-stage ascent was followed by a hot-staging maneuver, with Starship’s upper stage igniting its six Raptor engines to continue its flight to space. Following stage separation, the Super Heavy booster completed its boostback burn to put it on a course to a pre-planned splashdown zone off the coast of Texas using 12 of the 13 planned engines. Under the same angle of attack tested on the previous flight, the booster descended until successfully igniting all 13 planned engines (including one that did not relight during the boostback burn) for the high-thrust portion of the landing burn. The booster successfully executed a unique landing burn planned for use on the next generation booster. Super Heavy hovered above the water before shutting down its engines and splashing down. After completing a full-duration ascent burn, Starship achieved its planned velocity and trajectory. During flight, Starship successfully deployed eight Starlink simulators and executed the third in-space relight of a Raptor engine, demonstrating a critical capability for future deorbit burns. Starship re-entered the Earth’s atmosphere and was able to gather extensive data on the performance of its heatshield as it was intentionally stressed to test the limits of the vehicle’s capabilities. In the final minutes of flight, Starship performed a dynamic banking maneuver to mimic the trajectory that future missions returning to Starbase will fly. Starship then guided itself using its four flaps to the pre-planned splashdown zone in the Indian Ocean, successfully executing a landing flip, landing burn, and soft splashdown. Focus now turns to the next generation of Starship and Super Heavy, with multiple vehicles currently in active build and preparing for tests. This next iteration will be used for the first Starship orbital flights, operational payload missions, propellant transfer, and more as we iterate to a fully and rapidly reusable vehicle with service to Earth orbit, the Moon, Mars, and beyond."show more

🇩🇪 BREAKING | According to Bloomberg, Europe's largest car... port located in Bremerhaven is undergoing a modernization worth 1.35 billion euros to enable the transportation of military equipment such as the 60-ton Leopard tank. Germany's defense ministry is seeking help from the private sector to improve its capabilities, but there are general obstacles including problems in road and rail infrastructure, as well as a lack of public-private partnership mechanisms. The government is trying to involve more civilian firms in the process, but this is complicated by complex procurement procedures and a lack of transparency. Logistics companies need better access to information and necessary contacts for effective participation. The German government is also working on simplifying bureaucratic procedures, which will facilitate private sector investments and involvement in the defense field. Video is made Grok AIshow more

🚨 GOONS CANNOT SILENCE THE PEOPLE'S VOICE We strongly... condemn the violent disruption of the Post-Budget Forum at All Saints Cathedral, a peaceful gathering that brought together citizens, civil society, faith leaders, and private sector actors to discuss the national budget and its impact on ordinary Kenyans. The use of violence and intimidation to silence public participation is an attack on democracy and the constitutional rights of all Kenyans. This is not an isolated incident. The growing use of goons to disrupt lawful civic engagement and instill fear must be rejected by all who believe in democracy, accountability, and the rule of law. No amount of intimidation will stop citizens from engaging in conversations about the future of our country. #DefendDemocracy #ProtectCivicSpace #PublicParticipation #PeoplesBudget #Kenyashow more

China's mysterious "J-36" just keeps raising more questions than... answers. 👀✈️ This tailless aircraft appears to make another low-altitude pass with its landing gear down, giving one of the clearest looks yet at what many believe is China's next-generation fighter.

Artificial embryo samples aboard Tiangong Space Station for life... science research Space "artificial embryo" samples and other life science experiments delivered by the Tianzhou-10 cargo spacecraft have been installed into experiment modules aboard China's Tiangong space station, the Technology and Engineering Center for Space Utilization under the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) said on Wednesday. The "artificial embryos" are stem cell-derived artificial human embryos. The embryos, though not true life forms and unable to develop into human babies, will help simulate the earliest stages of human development. Once the experiments are completed, the artificial embryo samples will be frozen in orbit and then returned to Earth on a future mission for side-by-side analysis with ground-based controls in laboratories on the ground. This effort is part of a broader suite of 41 space science experiments being deployed aboard Tiangong, supporting its latest round of research on the orbiting laboratory.show more

🚨 ATTACK ON U.S. ENERGY SITE IN IRAQ Iraqi... media are reporting that an oil facility operated by the American company KBR has been struck in the Basra region of southern Iraq.
