US Air Force has spliced together the fuselage of two damaged F-35 aircraft to form one operational aircraft. Aside from the significant cost-benefit, this repair developed tooling, equipment, techniques, and knowledge for future use.

Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD). Both engines use adaptive technologies enabling adjustments to the ideal thrust configuration for the situation, providing greater range and thermal management capability- considered for the F-35 but current engines upgraded due to costs and version differences.

US Air Force must achieve an 8% budget cut while maintaining lethality and deterrence. This may involve retiring older platforms and cancelling noncrucial programs. Other air forces will watch how it achieves this balance.

A new drone delivery project aims to revolutionise military healthcare logistics. The project will adapt heavy-fuel cargo drones for long-range cold-chain operations, with the potential to solve logistics challenges for the Australian Defence Force.

The author argues global stability depends on learning the right lessons—economic ties don’t prevent conflict, authoritarian states mobilise faster, and deterrence only works when backed by clear and credible consequences. Mass-produced weapons outperform expensive precision systems.

The above and under water modular designed drones will be combined with advanced sensor networks and AI-driven analysis to improve anti-submarine warfare capabilities. Scalable autonomous solutions and monitoring the Greenland-Iceland-UK gap are priorities.

The Mitchell Institute's report recommends new policies allowing weapons in space; increased funding and personnel; the development of a warfighting concept to shape a more assertive culture among guardians; and better tracking of space activity.

US Marine Captain Myron Harrington was known for his leadership. He was highly decorated for his war-time actions—though rarely mentioned his war service—and is being remembered for his dedication to fostering future Marine leaders.

Working with BAE, the Mach 1.8 KAAN fifth-generation stealth fighter should replace F-16’s and fill the gap left after Türkiye was removed from the F-35 program over a missile deal with Russia. Gulf States interested.
