Shortly after 3 a.m. on Tuesday, a B-2 Spirit, sometimes referred to as a “Stealth Bomber,” was forced to make an emergency landing in Colorado Springs after the failure of what seems to have been at least two integral flight systems. According to recordings of FAA traffic surrounding the incident, the advanced deep penetration bomber […]
On Saturday, President Donald Trump announced to the world that the United States would be pulling out of a Cold War era missile treaty first established between the United States and the Soviet Union in 1987. The Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty had a specific aim: to ban the development and deployment of conventional or […]
There’s never been any doubt that cyber warfare is a unique facet of the national defense apparatus that comes with unique challenges and equally specific best practices. However, there’s something to be said for the Naval tradition of firing “a shot across the bow” of your opponent. The phrase usually refers to firing a warning […]
A package addressed to the White House was intercepted on Wednesday, after it was revealed to contain a pipe bomb. Other suspicious packages were also intercepted en route to former president Barrack Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. All of these packages were identified at off-site facilities through routine checks and the Secret […]

This military accord has been hailed by some as a landmark step toward North Korea’s eventual denuclearization. After all, a […]
A 13-page document produced by the Department of Defense aims to serve as the beginnings of a framework that will lead to the establishment of the U.S. Space Force; an entirely new branch of the American armed forces dedicated to orbital military operations. According to sources within the Pentagon, the existing 13-page draft will continue […]
Earlier this month, we showed you a video captured in Ukraine of a particularly brave pilot taking his Soviet-era Sukhoi Su-24 Fencer down to what appears to be under 30 feet in a high speed pass filmed by some particularly shaken cameramen on the ground. While spectacular footage of fighter jets conducting impressive maneuvers aren’t […]
In 1987, President Ronald Reagan and the last Soviet leader, Mikhail Gorbachev, signed the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty — a document widely known today as simply the INF treaty. The breadth of the treaty pertained to ground-launched, medium-range missiles that could engage targets between 300 and 3,400 miles away. It was part of a broader […]
As Arctic ice sheets continue to melt, Russia has rapidly positioned themselves to take advantage of new northern shipping lanes created by the thinning ice. Russia’s massive fleet of icebreakers — which dwarfs that of the United States and most of its allies combined — bolster six new and a number of other re-opened arctic […]
According to satellite images captured by the commercial imagery and analysis firm ImageSat International, the Russian military has commenced a major modernization effort of its forces in their Baltic enclave of Kaliningrad.
