Amid a slew of headlines regarding the ailing state of the German military, a mishap aboard the FGS Sachsen last week saw an American made SM-2 missile fail to clear its launch tube when fired, creating a spectacular fireball that injured two sailors and caused extensive damage to the ship. The vessel, accompanied by the […]
As we get older, we tend to collect things. Piles of artifacts representing memories both lost and treasured, old receipts we think we may need, and that shirt you know you can’t pull off anymore but just can’t find it in yourself to part with all take their places in our lives and homes like […]
President Trump’s recent directive to establish a space-specific branch of the U.S. Military was met with a mixed reaction in the public and the media, in large part due to a misrepresentation of what this “Space Force” would do, and exactly what kinds of threats it would be tasked with deterring. As SOFREP has covered […]
Over the past week, news and video broke about a new DARPA initiative that looks like something out of a Michael Bay movie: the Reconfigurable Wheel Track (RWT) program that turns regular wheels into tracks and back again based on the terrain and challenges faced by whatever vehicle they’re mounted on. These wheels put on […]
So, technically the offensive weapons systems have all been stripped from this British Army anti-tank Alvis Striker, but that won’t stop you from making on hell of an entrance at your high school reunion for less than the price of a new pickup. The Alvis FV102 Striker saw use in the British military as an […]
The Boeing B-52 Stratofortress bomber is far more than an iconic glimpse of military aviation dating all the way back to 1952 — in many ways the updated platform remains the premier bomber in the U.S. Arsenal. As the U.S. Air Force clears the way for the forthcoming B-21 Raider, the comparably newer B-2 Spirit […]
For years now, debate has raged within American domestic politics about climate change and its causes, but elsewhere in the world, America’s competitors aren’t busying themselves with debating why Arctic ice is melting, they’re just taking advantage of the new strategic and economic opportunities presented by the change. Vladimir Putin said in March, Not a […]
On or around June 14, 1947, something fell from the skies above New Mexico, strewing wreckage and debris across land belonging to a foreman named William Brazel. He gathered up the strange metallic materials (just what exactly he gathered varies depending on who you believe) and eventually made his way to a nearby town some […]
Masculinity is a tough topic to discuss in an open forum nowadays. Invariably, within the first few sentences (which makes up the preview seen on most social media platforms), everyone that takes the time to scan the headline above will place me into one of two categories: the man’s man (or purveyor of toxic masculinity) […]
Despite the F-35’s knack for grabbing headlines, an even more expensive aircraft has been steaming toward production to little fanfare: the B-21 Raider. Expected to serve as America’s go-to bomber platform for decades to come, the B-21 borrows from previous stealth platforms while incorporating new (and often not-yet-public) technologies intended to make it the premier […]
For a short time following the tragic events of the September 11th, 2001, the people of the United States found unity behind a singular cause: rooting out those responsible for the heinous attack and ensuring they could never launch another on the U.S. or its allies. Soon, that unity would once again give way to […]
For large swaths of America, the concept of a space-based branch of the military was relegated to science fiction until President Trump made the announcement that he was directing the Pentagon to establish a “Space Force,” but for those attuned to the defense industry, it was merely another bullet point in a long standing debate […]
