Ukrainian forces have destroyed Russia's one-of-a-kind A-60 laser testbed aircraft and critical A-100LL radar testbed using Neptune missiles and Bars drones. The strike on the Beriev facility eliminates two irreplaceable assets from Russia's advanced military aviation programs.

Swedish defense company Saab has won Poland's submarine competition with its A26 design, securing an order for three boats with advanced air-independent propulsion. The submarines can remain submerged for 18+ days and are specifically optimized for Baltic Sea operations.

Chinese defence researchers from Casic and the PLA have transformed ordinary bath loofah into a revolutionary stealth material that absorbs 99.99% of radar waves. The 4mm-thick coating could reduce radar detection from space-based systems by 700 times, addressing a critical vulnerability in modern stealth aircraft against satellite radar hunters.

Beijing-based Lingkong Tianxing Technology has begun mass production of the YKJ-1000 hypersonic missile, achieving speeds of Mach 7 while cutting costs by 90 percent. The breakthrough challenges decades of Western defense spending and could revolutionize warfare through affordable advanced weaponry.

German researchers from University of Würzburg have developed an autonomous drone defense system that captures unauthorized UAVs using nets and AI verification. The IDAS project, led by Dr. Julian Rothe, enables security authorities to intercept drones in restricted airspace while preserving them for forensic analysis of operators.

The design change from the original prototype signals major evolution in China's heavy tactical aircraft program with enhanced maneuverability capabilities."

HII’s Newport News Shipbuilding has delivered the future USS Massachusetts (SSN 798) to the U.S. Navy. This Virginia-class attack submarine, the 25th in its class, enhances the fleet's undersea dominance with advanced stealth and surveillance capabilities ahead of its spring commissioning.

"Chinese researchers reveal the Jinglei-1 (JL-1) missile outperforms all US and Russian air-launched nuclear systems with 8,000km range but remains limited by 1950s-era H-6N bomber technology. The analysis from Ordnance Industry Science Technology magazine highlights China's nuclear triad completion amid platform constraints."

"The U.S. Air Force plans to keep its C-17A Globemaster III fleet flying through 2075—making some aircraft 80 years old—under a new strategy from Air Mobility Command. Next Generation Airlift (NGAL) aircraft will begin replacing the C-5M Galaxy by mid-2040s and C-17A by mid-2070s in a massive fleet modernization effort."

U.S. company Shield AI and Europe's Destinus are partnering to integrate the Hivemind AI autonomy stack across Destinus's Ruta and Hornet unmanned systems. The collaboration aims to create a scalable, cross-platform autonomous architecture to support Ukraine and strengthen European defense, with joint demonstrations planned for 2026.
