🌊 🤖 Most underwater robots still rely on propellers.

That works well for speed, not for control.

C-Ray takes a different route.

Instead of rigid thrusters, it uses flexible hyperbolic fins that create thrust through body-like waves. The same mechanism lets it:

• swim like a ray
• crawl across the seabed
• jet forward when needed
• slide through tight spaces

The benefit is not just motion variety.

The undulating drive is quiet, energy-efficient, and far less disruptive to the environment.

That makes it useful for long missions like reef surveys, infrastructure inspection, or mine countermeasures, where low noise and low power matter more than top speed.

🇺🇸 ❌️ 🏴‍☠️ On Dec. 30, at the direction of Sec War Pete Hegseth, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted kinetic strikes against three narco-trafficking vessels traveling as a convoy. These vessels were operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations in international waters. Intelligence confirmed the vessels were transiting along known narco-trafficking routes and had transferred narcotics between the three vessels prior to the strikes. Three narco-terrorists aboard the first vessel were killed in the first engagement. The remaining narco-terrorists abandoned the other two vessels, jumping overboard and distancing themselves before follow-on engagements sank their respective vessels. Following the engagements, USSOUTHCOM immediately notified USCG to activate the Search and Rescue system. Dept of War #OpSouthernSpear

🚢 🇷🇺 🏴‍☠️ The runaway tanker BELLA 1 has officially rebranded as MARINERA in Russia’s shipping registry. By adopting the vessel under its national flag, Moscow has potentially created a major legal hurdle for U.S. forces currently in pursuit.

🇨🇺 📉 Population Decline in Cuba 2020-2025: The Demographic Emptying

Estimates based on official census and migration flows

Loss: 2.7 million people (24% decline)

📝 Great Reversal: "For historic context, Cuba’s 24% decline in 5 years is similar to the Irish potato famine (20-25% decline). This will be looked back on as an epoch defining moment for Cuba, it’s too big to be anything else."

🇺🇸 🇸🇴 📝 Nick Fuentes on X:

All of the complaining about Somalians will result in nothing.

No mass arrests, no mass deportations, nothing transformative. We all know that.

This is more slop designed to rally the GOP base back to this failing joke of a government & pivot from shitting on Israel to Muslims
