🇺🇸🇮🇷 CENTCOM just requested deployment of the Dark Eagle hypersonic missile to the Middle East. This would be the first time the U.S. has ever deployed a hypersonic weapon in combat. Here's why it's being requested now specifically. Iran has spent the ceasefire relocating its ballistic missile launchers deeper... into the country, beyond the reach of the Precision Strike Missile, whose range caps out around 500 kilometers. The U.S. burned through its entire PrSM inventory in the opening weeks of this war. The weapon designed to replace it hasn't been declared fully operational yet. Dark Eagle travels at Mach 5 plus, maneuvers unpredictably in the terminal phase, and has a range of over 1,700 miles. No existing Iranian air defense system can intercept it. From launch positions in the Gulf it reaches Tehran in minutes. Now here's the catch nobody is leading with. The Pentagon's own testing office says it won't have enough data to evaluate Dark Eagle's combat effectiveness until early 2027. It has repeatedly failed to launch during tests due to launcher and production quality issues. A defense official told Fox News it has reached "initial operational capability." That is the military's careful way of saying it works, sometimes, under controlled conditions. One senior fellow at the Stimson Center said plainly: "How do you know it is defense budget season in Washington? An unnecessary push to deploy a not-yet-fully-operational hypersonic missile against Iran. Nothing says fund me like first use." There are roughly 8 missiles available. Each costs $15 million. Russia and China have been fielding their own hypersonic weapons for years while the US repeatedly delayed. Deploying Dark Eagle now sends a message to Tehran, Beijing, and Moscow simultaneously. The problem is that message cuts both ways. It signals America's hypersonic era has finally arrived. It also signals that America is considering using an unproven weapon, in combat, for the first time, against a target that has spent the ceasefire hardening and dispersing precisely because it saw this coming.

The Israeli Air Force struck a primed ballistic missile launcher in western Iran, the IDF says, attaching a video of the strike. The missile launcher was spotted by an IAF aircraft flying over Iran, and it was struck a short while later, according to the IDF. Dozens of ballistic missile launchers have been destroyed so far in Israeli strikes, the military says. The military has said that it has “established aerial superiority from western Iran to Tehran,” following an overnight IAF operation, during which dozens of air defense systems were struck.

🚀 Footage has emerged showing the impact of 3K22 Zircon hypersonic missiles during the overnight attack on Kyiv A burning object can also be seen in the sky. Its exact nature has not been confirmed. According to one theory, it could be a Patriot interceptor missile that failed to reach its target and self-destructed. Another possibility is that it was debris from a missile that had been intercepted.

🚨BREAKING: HEZBOLLAH USE LARGE MISSILE FOR FIRST TIME THIS WAR The explosion below is suspected to be ''Burkan" Missile from Hezbollah. This would be the first time that Hezbollah has used this weapon in this war, marking an escalatory step due to its increased payload. The Burkan, also known as “The Volcano”, has a range of 500-2,000 meters and can carry explosive warheads that weigh hundreds of kilograms. The video below shows the rocket being used in a different conflict. Is this a warning to Israel, or is it indicating an intention to escalate? Source: Yedioth Newspaper

🚨🚨 THIS WEAPON JUST CHANGED WARFARE FOREVER Israel just deployed the Iron Beam in LIVE COMBAT for the first time in history. It's a laser. A literal laser that shoots down missiles and drones out of the sky. Cost per Iron Dome interceptor: $50,000 Cost per Iron Beam shot: $3.50 Three dollars and fifty cents. → It fires at the speed of light — there is no dodging it → It never runs out of ammunition — as long as it has electricity, it fires → It's already integrated into Israel's layered air defense system → It just intercepted incoming projectiles in the middle of a war → Iran fired 5 missile barrages in 7 hours — the Iron Beam didn't flinch This is why the Patriot interceptor crisis doesn't matter anymore. Ukraine burned through 600 Patriot interceptors in 1,460 days. The Iran war burned through 800 in just 3 DAYS. That rate is unsustainable. You can't manufacture interceptors fast enough. But a laser? Unlimited shots. Near-zero cost. Speed of light. Iran spent decades building a missile arsenal designed to overwhelm traditional air defense through sheer volume. Fire 1,000 missiles, hope 50 get through. That strategy just DIED. When a laser costs $3.50 per shot, it doesn't matter if you fire 1,000 or 10,000. Every single one gets burned out of the sky. This isn't just a weapon. It's the end of the missile age.

The Israeli Air Force has dropped over 12,000 bombs in Iran since the start of the war, in over 8,500 separate strikes on Iranian regime targets, the military says. A senior IAF official says that "in 18 days, we flew as much as we would in a year." Of the 12,000 munitions, 3,600 alone were used in strikes in Tehran, according to the IDF. IAF fighter jets have carried out 5,700 separate sorties, including over 540 to central and western Iran and 50 deeper east in the country. Military officials say that the IAF is carrying out constant air operations over Iran to thwart ballistic missile fire on Israel, using new techniques that allow for longer operations without the need for refueling. In this formation, dubbed "metro sorties" by the IAF, drones and fighter jets loiter before carrying out strikes on ballistic missile launchers, Iranian soldiers, and other targets, based on "real-time information." When a new target is identified, IAF aircraft can be quickly dispatched to strike it. This was the case for the killing of Iran's intelligence minister, Esmaeil Khatib, in Tehran yesterday, according to the IDF. Officials say this effort relies on maintaining air superiority over Iran. The military assesses that its strikes have destroyed around 85% of Iran's air defense and detection systems. More than 300 targets relating to Iran's air defenses, including missile launchers and radars, have been struck, the IDF says. In terms of Iran's advanced air defense systems, the IAF assesses that it has destroyed 92% of them, with only a handful of such systems remaining, including some that are hidden and not in use. The IDF says it has destroyed around 80% of Iran's older air defense systems, along with 80% of its radars. Iran also has what the military describes as "decentralized" air defense systems, where missile launchers are connected to various optical systems, such as rudimentary cameras with artificial intelligence tracking software, to target Israeli aircraft. Some 75% of these systems have been destroyed, and military officials acknowledge they are much harder to locate than the advanced systems. Additionally, the IDF says it has destroyed or disabled around 60% of Iran's estimated 470 ballistic missile launchers. Some previous military estimates put this number at 70%. Around 200 of the launchers were destroyed in strikes, while another 80 are not considered to be operational after the IAF struck tunnel entrances to subterranean facilities where they are stored, according to the military. The IAF says it continues to hunt down the remaining roughly 200 launchers to reduce the missile fire on Israel. The military also assesses that Iran still has hundreds of ballistic missiles that can reach Israel. It has so far launched over 350 at Israel, with the rate of fire slowing to 10-20 missiles a day in the past week, with just one or two missiles at a time.

‼️WAR - Why are leaders lying to us? They tell us Russia is losing. Has no weapons, is using chips from dishwashers! Yesterday Russia fired a brand new hypersonic missile that flies at 12 x the speed of sound, with 6 hypersonic war heads, able to hit 18 targets at a time, fitted with nuclear warheads if they want. It can hit any target in Europe and we have no air defence system anywhere, that could defend against it. Silence from the media and our government ‼️

🇲🇾🇨🇳 Hormuz gets all the attention, but the Strait of Malacca is the one that keeps Beijing up at night. It's the world's busiest maritime chokepoint, narrowing to just 1.7 miles at its tightest point. In the first half of 2025 alone, 23.2 million barrels of oil per day passed through it. That's more than Hormuz. Around 75% of China's seaborne crude imports flow through it from the Middle East and Africa. The Iran war has forced governments across Asia to think seriously about what happens if Malacca faces the same fate as Hormuz. Indonesia's finance minister floated the idea of tolls this week before walking it back. Singapore has already assured both the U.S. and China that passage is guaranteed and it won't participate in any effort to block it. The difference between Hormuz and Malacca is that 4 countries share the strait and all of them have a strategic interest in keeping it open. That makes it harder to close, but also harder to control. China is watching what the U.S. did to Iran's economy through a single chokepoint. It has one of its own that it can't protect alone. Source: Reuters

🚨🇷🇺💥🇪🇺BREAKING: Heightened activity at Russia’s Kapustin Yar missile test range is fueling serious concerns of a potential large scale strike as early as tonight. Intelligence reports indicate possible preparations involving the Oreshnik intermediate range ballistic missile. Oreshnik missile has such a long range that it can strike even NATO headquarters within about 10 minutes. Due to its high speed and advanced flight profile, it can easily evade most air defense systems. So far, no confirmed counter or effective defense against it has been publicly revealed, which is why the threat is being taken very seriously and alerts remain at the highest level. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has warned of an imminent attack, while the U.S. Embassy has urged residents in Ukraine to be ready to seek immediate shelter. Tensions are rising and the situation remains extremely fluid.

🇨🇳 CHINA RELEASES VIDEO OF HYPERSONIC SHIP-KILLER LAUNCHING FROM DESTROYER - U.S. CARRIERS JUST GOT A TARGETING PROBLEM THEY CAN'T SOLVE China's navy just published footage of a Type 055 destroyer launching a YJ-20 hypersonic anti-ship missile. Mach 6+ speeds. 1,000+ km range. Designed specifically to kill aircraft carriers. The footage itself is the weapon. China's not showing this for domestic propaganda. They're telling the U.S. Navy: "Your carriers can't operate in the Pacific anymore without accepting catastrophic risk." Here's the math that just changed: U.S. carrier strike group costs: ~$50 billion (carrier + escorts + aircraft) YJ-20 missile cost: ~$10 million Number of missiles needed to mission-kill a carrier: Unknown, but probably less than 20 The economics are brutal. China can build 5,000 hypersonic missiles for the price of one U.S. carrier. Even with 90% interception rates (currently impossible), they just need to saturate defenses. Hypersonic missiles at Mach 6 travel 2 km per second. The 1,000 km range means 8 minutes flight time from launch to impact. Current U.S. ship defense systems are built for subsonic and supersonic threats. Hypersonics compress decision time to seconds. The destroyer platform is what makes this devastating. China's building Type 055s in volume - eight operational, more under construction. Each can carry multiple YJ-20s. That's mobile hypersonic capability deployed across the entire Pacific. U.S. carriers project power by getting close enough to launch aircraft. But if carriers can't survive within 1,000 km of Chinese coast, they can't project power into Taiwan Strait, South China Sea, or anywhere China's destroyer fleet can reach. Pentagon's been warning about this for years. Now China's demonstrating it works and they're mass-producing the platforms. The carrier era might be ending the same way battleships ended - too expensive, too vulnerable, replaced by cheaper weapons that can kill them from beyond their effective range. China's releasing this footage right as tensions over Taiwan escalate. The message: come within range, find out what happens. Source: Open Source Intel

🇺🇸🇮🇷 The U.S. just burned through 850 Tomahawks in four weeks. It buys 90 a year... Let that math sink in. America fired roughly a quarter of its entire Tomahawk inventory in one month against a country that hasn't surrendered and still controls Hormuz. The Pentagon's annual procurement covers about four days of this war's consumption rate. Hegseth says they'll be "refilled faster than anyone imagined." The actual timeline: new production contracts won't reach full capacity until 2028. The war is happening now. And Tomahawks are just one line item. Senator Reed flagged that Patriot, THAAD, and Standard Missile interceptors are depleting at "alarming rates" too. The Pentagon is now considering diverting Ukraine's weapons to cover the gap. This is the hidden cost of a "quick excursion." A military built for deterrence is burning through its arsenal in a conflict it didn't budget for. Source: CBS News

🇺🇸🇮🇷 The U.S. military is burning through weapons it takes years to build... A Patriot interceptor isn't a bullet. It's a miniature spacecraft packed with specialized electronics, advanced guidance systems, and components sourced from supply chains that span dozens of manufacturers. An SM-3 interceptor has to track a warhead in space and collide with it at several kilometers per second. Each one costs up to $28 million and production runs in small batches, often only dozens per year. One night of Iranian missile defense can consume 2% of the entire annual Patriot production in under a minute. Factories can't scale overnight. They need multi-year contracts, skilled labor, and components that often come from a single supplier worldwide. Five weeks in, the Pentagon is cannibalizing missile systems from the Pacific and considering diverting Ukraine's weapons. The U.S. military was built for deterrence, not sustained high-intensity combat. This war exposed that assumption in real time. Source: Caspian Report YT

In March 2026, a flying-wing aircraft with a wingspan exceeding 130 feet made an emergency landing at Larissa Air Base in Greece. Local media photographed it. Greek aviation enthusiasts initially identified it as a B-2 Spirit. It was not a B-2. The War Zone, SOFREP, and Military Watch Magazine identified it as the RQ-180, designated “White Bat,” the most classified unmanned surveillance platform in the American inventory. An aircraft that the United States Air Force has never officially acknowledged exists just landed in public view at a NATO base in the Eastern Mediterranean during the largest American military operation since the invasion of Iraq. The RQ-180 is what replaced the RQ-170 Sentinel, the “Beast of Kandahar” that Iran captured in December 2011 after it crashed or was brought down over eastern Iran. The RQ-170 had a wingspan of 66 feet, endurance of five to six hours, and a service ceiling of 50,000 feet. It was a tactical platform designed for short-duration ISR over Afghanistan and Pakistan. The RQ-180 is a different category entirely. Estimated wingspan: 130 to 172 feet, larger than a Boeing 737. Endurance: over 24 hours. Range: over 14,000 miles. Service ceiling: above 60,000 feet. Advanced broadband stealth across all radar frequencies. A sensor suite that remains entirely classified. The aircraft that Iran captured in 2011 was a bicycle. The aircraft that landed in Greece is a freight train. The operational implications for the Iran war are direct. The RQ-180 can loiter over Iranian territory for an entire day at altitudes beyond the reach of most air defences, collecting signals intelligence, mapping mobile missile launchers, monitoring underground facility entrances for repair activity, tracking IRGC ground force movements, conducting battle damage assessment after strikes, and feeding real-time targeting data to US and Israeli strike packages. It is the platform that enables everything else: the B-2 bombers that dropped MOPs on the IRGC headquarters, the F-35s that hit Asaluyeh, the SEAL Team 6 extraction that required precise knowledge of IRGC positions around the WSO’s hiding spot, the CIA deception campaign that needed to know which Iranian forces to misdirect and which to monitor. The RQ-180 is the eye. Everything else is the fist. Greece is the basing hub. Larissa hosts the 110th Combat Wing and has received American assets throughout the war. The emergency landing exposed the aircraft to public photography for the first time in operational context, after years of speculation and only a handful of grainy images. The aircraft that no government has confirmed just told every OSINT analyst on earth that it is real, that it is operational, and that it is flying over Iran. The last time the United States flew a stealth drone over Iran, Iran captured it, reverse-engineered elements of its design, and displayed it on state television. The RQ-180 is designed to ensure that never happens again. If it is lost over Iran, the technology compromise dwarfs 2011. The fact that the Air Force is flying it in active combat tells you the intelligence it provides is worth the risk, and the confidence in its survivability is absolute. The White Bat landed in Greece. It flies over Iran. And the war that Hegseth just called the largest strike day since February 28 is being guided by an aircraft that does not officially exist.

The RQ-180 can loiter over Iranian territory for an entire day at altitudes beyond the reach of most air defences, collecting signals intelligence, mapping mobile missile launchers, monitoring underground facility entrances for repair activity, tracking IRGC ground force movements, conducting battle damage assessment after strikes, and feeding real-time targeting data to US and Israeli strike packages. It is the platform that enables everything else: the B-2 bombers that dropped MOPs on the IRGC headquarters, the F-35s that hit Asaluyeh, the SEAL Team 6 extraction that required precise knowledge of IRGC positions around the WSO’s hiding spot, the CIA deception campaign that needed to know which Iranian forces to misdirect and which to monitor. The RQ-180 is the eye. Everything else is the fist. Greece is the basing hub. Larissa hosts the 110th Combat Wing and has received American assets throughout the war. The emergency landing exposed the aircraft to public photography for the first time in operational context, after years of speculation and only a handful of grainy images. The aircraft that no government has confirmed just told every OSINT analyst on earth that it is real, that it is operational, and that it is flying over Iran. The last time the United States flew a stealth drone over Iran, Iran captured it, reverse-engineered elements of its design, and displayed it on state television. The RQ-180 is designed to ensure that never happens again. If it is lost over Iran, the technology compromise dwarfs 2011. The fact that the Air Force is flying it in active combat tells you the intelligence it provides is worth the risk, and the confidence in its survivability is absolute. The White Bat landed in Greece. It flies over Iran. And the war that Hegseth just called the largest strike day since February 28 is being guided by an aircraft that does not officially exist.

China is urgently preparing for drone warfare and is arming itself with a MANPADS-based air defense system. The Type 625 MANPADS-based air defense system has been introduced into the Chinese army units. It is equipped with a six-barrel 25mm cannon and four missiles from MANPADS with a firing range of about 5 kilometers. Initially, the vehicle was demonstrated with eight missiles of a longer range. However, the experience of the special military operation in the East is also being studied, and for now, this version of the vehicle is being adopted by the PLA. It is possible that longer-range missiles will be added to their arsenal later. - AN

China Successfully Tests New Hypersonic Missile with 8,000 km Range The Chinese have successfully tested a variant of a hypersonic missile, which is actually a glide vehicle: the DF-27A. The average speed was Mach 8.6, and it covered 2,100 km in 12 minutes. This is just one more in a series of several Chinese anti-ship missiles. While much of the West treats military service as an economic activity, the Chinese are preparing for a real war. There is no room there for playing around with a new class of battleships or listening to the lobby for expensive energy. China has a national industrial and military project that Western nations currently can only dream of achieving. Of course, it's part of the Western style to live life differently. But there is a serious missile gap, with China far ahead of the West. An 8,000 km range means hitting a ship in Hawaii without leaving mainland China. And there are other missile models with ranges of 3,000–4,000 km. Intercepting these hypersonic missiles once launched is extremely difficult, but what can be done is to prevent them from having precise guidance capability. Just as land doctrines are being redesigned, so is naval warfare, by hypersonic missiles and aerial and underwater drones. Projects are now underway for drones capable of bypassing protective nets. Today, the Chinese have more missiles in stock than the Soviets had at their peak. And I won't even mention drones, as the numbers are almost unimaginable. Only a major reform could improve the West’s position. The West is currently developing some missile systems that should be available around 2030, but a doctrinal reform is also necessary. Countries cannot fight in 2025 the same way wars were fought decades ago; a complete reform is required. This reminds me of Ukrainian soldiers who, after being trained in the West and then facing the reality of the battlefield, said that the training was completely inadequate for the kind of war they were actually fighting. It is precisely to avoid this kind of mismatch that reforms need to be carried out. *Illustrative video- may contain inaccuracies.*

A robot just pulled two American pilots out of the sea near the Strait of Hormuz. It was the first time an autonomous sea drone has rescued people in a combat zone, and the war it happened in escalated within hours. The confirmed part is genuinely remarkable. After a US Army Apache went down off Oman, the two crew spent about two hours in the water until a 24-foot Saronic Corsair, an unmanned vessel run by the Navy’s Task Force 59, found them and carried them to a helicopter hoist. No human rescue crew exposed, no second aircraft risked. Both pilots are safe. It is a real leap in how the US fights. Then events moved faster than the evidence. Trump announced that Iran shot the helicopter down and that the US must respond. By 5 p.m. ET, CENTCOM was striking Iranian targets and calling it a proportional answer to unjustified Iranian aggression. Iran fired back overnight. No deaths have been reported on either side. But the cause of the crash is not yet established. Washington says Iran shot it down. Tehran denies it, has claimed no responsibility, and points to an accident or a collision in a crowded, contested waterway. The evidence has not been released. That gap is everything, because a deal was nearly done. A 60-day ceasefire extension and the reopening of the strait were days from signing. One disputed incident has now pulled American and Iranian forces back to trading fire over the same water. This is how fragile truces die. Not on a clear decision, but on a murky incident that hardens into certainty before the facts are in.

Iran continues to wipe out Israeli and American assets in the Middle East while Trump and the Epstein clique scramble to find an offramp. The Straight of Hormuz remains closed! The IRGC announced the launch of the 43rd missile wave targeting the U.S. Fifth Fleet, Tel Aviv, and Eilat. According to the IRGC, the strike involved Khorramshahr missiles with 2-ton warheads, as well as Emad and Kheibar Shekan missiles carrying 1-ton warheads. Iranian missile forces wrote “Vaccine for pedos – Made in Iran” on a ballistic missile before launching it toward a U.S. military base. Iran has stepped up attacks on American warships! US Energy Secretary Chris Wright stated that the deployment of US warships to escort tankers in the Persian Gulf will happen "relatively soon, but not now". According to him, it's impossible to do this right now because the US is simply not ready for it. Given that the IRGC would consider it an honor to sink an American destroyer where it's easiest to reach it, the task facing the US is not trivial. Meanwhile the kosher mafia criminals continue to flee occupied Palestine like the rats they are! Check out this top gun pilot! An American F/A-18F aircraft crashed while attempting to land on the aircraft carrier "Abraham Lincoln" after returning from a bombing mission in Iran. The ejection seat failed to deploy, causing the plane to crash into the water. The pilot was successfully rescued!

HAPPENING NOW: Secretary of War Pete Hegseth just arrived at Castelion to meet with the company’s founders as part of the Department of War 🇺🇸’s Arsenal Freedom Tour. Castelion Corporation is a U.S. defense technology startup founded in late 2022 by former SpaceX engineers, including CEO Bryon Hargis, Sean Pitt, and Andrew Kreitz. The company specializes in designing, testing, and manufacturing affordable, mass-producible hypersonic strike missiles to restore America's conventional deterrence capabilities, particularly against adversaries like China and Russia in hypersonic weapons. Their flagship product is the Blackbeard hypersonic missile system, engineered for high-volume production (thousands per year), lower costs (potentially 10x cheaper than comparable legacy systems), rapid development cycles (months instead of years), and compatibility with existing U.S. military platforms like HIMARS for the Army and various Navy systems. Castelion employs a SpaceX-inspired approach: vertical integration, rapid iteration, high-cadence testing (over 25 flight tests by late 2025), and scalable manufacturing using nontraditional suppliers to cut costs and speed. Castelion is Headquartered in Torrance, California, with facilities in Texas and a major new 1,000-acre solid rocket motor campus in Sandoval County, New Mexico called Project Ranger. The company has secured significant funding, including a $350 million Series B round in December 2025 following earlier rounds, to ramp up production. It has won multiple Department of War 🇺🇸 contracts, including integration awards with the U.S. Army and Navy, SBIR phases, and AFWERX programs for hypersonic development. Castelion aims to address the U.S. lag in hypersonic munitions by focusing on scale and affordability rather than boutique, high-end designs from traditional suppliers like Lockheed Martin Lockheed Martin or Raytheon Raytheon. Upon Pete Hegseth’s arrival, a large screen in the Castelion lobby lit up with a message that read “Welcome Secretary of War Pete Hegseth” and “Arsenal of Freedom” with a video of a missile launch.
