Despite being American citizens, three children — a 4-year-old boy with Stage 4 kidney cancer, his 7-year-old sister and a 2-year-old girl — were detained with their families by immigration authorities in Louisiana and quickly sent to Honduras, according to a lawsuit.
After announcing the SEA 3000 decision, Australian Defence also releases their strategic shipbuilding agreement with Austal. The Henderson-based builder will now be in charge of three major procurements. The two landing ship projects and the new frigates.

youtu.be/RIbNwlGEBss New video on recent structure changes to the 25th Infantry Division's Artillery Brigade (DIVARTY), particularly how it seems to be a pilot for adding a HIMARS rocket artillery battalion to light divisions
The fact they are being forced to actually fight in court to remove LGBTQ members instead of fighting to protect them is arguably the worst about all this. The military has been set back like 20+ years in one fell swoop
🇧🇪🇫🇷 The CEO of Dassault Aviation, Eric Trappier, does not want Belgium to become a partner to "his" FCAS program because they bought F-35 instead of the Dassault Rafale.

There’s quite alot of people who need to pay up for what ultimately happened that morning
Did someone say Mount St Helens!
If you see this post, post a shark that isn’t from Jaws
to be on purpose possibly. I wouldn’t know but this is exciting as this is now the third (?) European tactical truck to be actively testing its third generation model or just about to test it.
Well starting from 2027 onwards, militaries around the world will have the option to order either HX2s or HX3s. This timeline matches up with what has been stated lately and also matches with when American Rheinmetall/GM Defense will begin HX3 CTT production if they win CTT which seems
3. RMMV is producing six total HX3 test units, two 6x6 and four 8x8 in different configurations
4. German Army is accepting a few of these units for validation trials and presumably also will receive serial production units, implying they have placed an order
What does this mean?
Well some key facts from the article:
1. The first three HX3s we saw a few years ago are show pieces only
2. The three HX3 CTTs presently in the US of A are the first actual test units

🇩🇪 According to @hartpunkt.bsky.social, experts consider the numbers Bloomberg presented to be realistic but potentially too low for the needs of the Bundeswehr over the next 10 years.

“OSNIT, OBLITERATE”
Finally some good news for FY26. This will give the Freedoms a long overdue anti-ship capability present on the Independence class.

Seems like F/A-XX nightmare continues under recent HASC FY26 NDAA markup. F/A-XX gets about $74M. The program is also getting $750M in the recently passed reconciliation bill. However, both of these combined are well below the spending plans under the Biden Admin, which called for $2.2B in FY26.
Seems like the US Navy will not be buying any of its new Constellation-class frigates in FY26. Big hit for the program.
Yep. The state of the world and the recent budget draft released yesterday doesn't even mention FFG-62
What in the world did I just genuinely read
🇩🇪 Bloomberg reports that Germany is expected to order close to 4.500 new armoured vehicles, including 1.000 Leopard 2 MBT, 2.500 Boxer APC/IFV and 1.000 Patria CAVS APC (not the AMV as Bloomberg claims, as their writers are dumb).

Trying to say otherwise is a load of bullshit. This should not be happening yet it is
>How many 8x8 APC/IFV do we have in Europe that Poland could choose from?
Four
>All actively being offered to potential customers?
Yes
>Will you buy any of them?
Buys another Asian vehicle that no one else in Europe will operate
*breaths in*
Constellation is fucked and so is the navy
I’m gonna need anxiety medication by the end of this term

Can’t blame you.
We’ve been in a crisis for the last six months. Idk what New York Times is on to be this ignorant, maybe a fuckton of cope
Today we are going learn about Light Exo-Atmospheric Projectile's first flight test. So what is LEAP? LEAP was a program aimed at developing extremely lightweight and small KKVs. The program first spawned from an SDI effort develop a light kill vehicle for ground or space based hyper-velocity guns.
