🇺🇸⚡️The US Air Force, along with Lockheed Martin, showed how the new cruise missile launch system works
The video showed a new concept called the Rapid Dragon. It shows how cruise missiles are dropped from C-17 and EC-130 aircraft. Such a strategy could increase the US striking power.
Representatives of the Lockheed Martin company, which organized the event in conjunction with the US Air Force, said that during the tests it was possible to verify all the main aspects of the work. In particular, the release of JASSM-ER cruise missiles. After that, it became clear that such an algorithm works and can be used. The carriers were C-17 and EC-130 aircraft.
The project aims to increase the strike power with cruise missiles. Previously, the missiles were launched from the B-1 Lancer strategic bomber. But they were not enough, and recently they decided to write off some of the cars and no longer use them.

🇯🇵 🇯🇵 Construction of the 4th 30FFM Mogami-class frigate at the Mitsubishi shipyard in Nagasaki.
In total, at the shipyards there are 8 laid ships of varying degrees of readiness; by 2032, it is planned to commission 22 ships of this type.
The ship is equipped with 8 Type-17 and 16 Mark-41 anti-ship missiles, 12 torpedoes, RIM-116 surface-to-air missiles and one 127mm Mark-45 cannon.

US military pilots practice highway landing in preparation for war with Russia and China
The United States Air Force Special Forces pilots practiced taking off and landing from a public highway. During the exercise Northern Strike 21 in Michigan, the flights were carried out by A-10 attack aircraft and C-146A short-range aircraft.
Maneuvers allow you to work out the dispersal of forces in the event of an enemy strike.
This will reduce the risks to troops in the event of an attack. Therefore, the Air Force (Air Force) is preparing to disperse at makeshift airfields.

The United States deployed a multi-domain operations unit in Europe to confront the Russian Federation
In Europe, the United States has deployed a division of multi-domain operations.
For the first time in Europe, a formation of 1200 American troops began to function.
They can operate using electronic warfare equipment, artillery and data transmitted by space satellites.
According to the Military Times, the concept of multi-domain warfare, developed by the United States, assumes that, starting from the battalion level, all commanders should have modern (or at least relevant) means of destruction, including gun mounts and electronic jamming devices.
The US has not yet developed a plan to put this concept into practice.
In fact, a unit developed at one of the Norwegian landfills is a trial unit.
It is the second such unit in the world. But since it was placed near the borders of Russia, it can be concluded that its task will be to "contain" Moscow. The Americans intend to deploy several more formations to contain China, since they also consider China their enemy.

UAV MQ-9A "Big Wing" will track Russian ships in the Arctic
The struggle for resources in the Arctic is intensifying. Canada, the United States, Denmark and even China are all claiming their share of the Arctic pie. Everything that happens in this area with a competitor-neighbor should be under the constant and vigilant control of the United States. In this case, the UAV MQ-9A "Big Wing" should act as the eye of Sauron.
In early September this year, the UAV manufacturer General Atomics Aeronautical Systems demonstrated its modified MQ-9A UAV, which performed its maiden flight in the High North.
Such a UAV is one of the most effective devices for tracking the ships of the Russian Federation and China, which are strengthening their presence in the Arctic, according to the American company.
But the fact is that it is difficult to operate unmanned aerial vehicles in the remote and cold polar region - there are few air bases, it is difficult to replenish supplies, and not everything is good with communications.
To address these issues, at a recent flight demonstration, General Atomics demonstrated the MQ-9A UAV, which uses Inmarsat's L-band satellite communications. This aircraft was named "Big Wing" - in honor of its wingspan, which is 24.1 meters, which is 4 meters longer than the regular Reaper. This additional footprint gives the aircraft a flight duration of over 43 hours - more than any UAV offered by General Atomics.
During the demonstration, the drone stayed in the air for 25.5 hours. According to General Atomics, the flight was "one of the longest flights MQ-9 has ever flown."
The Big Wing boasts a large payload of 2,180 kg including 1,810 kg on external sling. The aircraft has nine hardpoints for containers and weapons, which is two times more than the standard MQ-9A.
According to the assurances of the company's management, this UAV will be able to help the United States track the activity of China and the Russian Federation in the Arctic, as both countries increase their presence in the region, increasing the number of icebreakers, warships and submarines in the Arctic Ocean.
Chinese submarines and Russia with ballistic missiles pose more and more threats to the national security of the United States, which must spend more and more resources to defend against a possible attack from the most unprotected northern direction. UAVs General Atomics should partially solve this problem, according to the company.

China Air Force announced today its roster for the 13th China Airshow China 2021
According to a statement from Shen Jin University of Science and Technology Air Force spokesman, the Kai-20 and Yun-20 will gather in Zhuhai, with the participation of the Air Police-500 and Zhen-6K aircraft.
New items at the air show are the WZ-7 "Soaring Dragon II" strategic reconnaissance UAV and the new Shenyang J-16D electronic warfare aircraft.
Reconnaissance drone WZ-7 "Soaring Dragon II".
This development is a copy of the American RQ-4A Global Hawk reconnaissance aircraft.
Chinese engineers did not develop a new aircraft, but simply repeated the reliable American design. In the early 2000s, several such UAVs crashed in Pakistan and could become a source of technology for China.
China will present the WZ-8 high-altitude high-speed drone at the exhibition.
The UAV has the shape of an elongated triangle, which simultaneously reduces its radio signature and allows it to reach high speeds.

❌I guess i have downloaded the wrong Friends Series 😅
🇬🇧 Yesterday at the HMNB Clyde naval base, the ceremony of the official admission to the Royal Navy of the nuclear-powered HMS Audacious S102, the fourth in the Astute series, was held, the main strike weapons of which are Tomahawk cruise missiles and Spearfish torpedoes.
The submarine arrived at the base on April 7 last year, and all the time that has passed, it has been honing the skills of its crew and refining its weapons systems at naval training grounds near Great Britain and the east coast of the 🇺🇸 United States at various intervals.
