Ukraine has reportedly unleashed a powerful new defense against Russian Shahed drones that have tied up its air force and traumatized civilians with persistent attacks. Cheap, domestically manufactured drones have played an increasingly critical role for both sides in the four-year war following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Both countries have experienced enormous battlefield casualties, the land war has morphed into a war of attrition in which Russia’s primary tool is the Shahed, a domestically manufactured UAV based on the original Iranian model. On Sunday, the Ukrainian Unmanned Systems Forces reported that its 412th Brigade Nemesis had intercepted…

A portable cyber system that fits in a backpack and can process drone images is currently being used for training by members of the Massachusetts Air National Guard.The Agile Cyber Training Environment, or ACTE, was designed by Senior Master Sgt. Taylor Gow. The project was accepted into the U.S. Air Force’s Spark Tank 2026 initiative. Spark Tank is an annual competition held by the service in which Air Force and U.S. Space Force personnel can pitch their innovations to senior leadership. Gow developed the system to allow airmen to conduct cyber warfare training on the go, rather than be confined…

Anthropic’s moral stand on U.S. military use of artificial intelligence is reshaping the competition between leading AI companies but also exposing a growing awareness that maybe chatbots just aren’t capable enough for acts of war.Anthropic’s chatbot Claude, for the first time, outpaced rival ChatGPT in phone app downloads in the United States this week, a signal of growing interest from consumers siding with Anthropic in its standoff with the Pentagon, according to market research firm Sensor Tower.The Trump administration on Friday ordered government agencies to stop using Claude and designated it a supply chain risk after Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei…
Sign up for the On The Gun Newsletter The latest for gun hunters and competitive shooters. The typical, modern turkey shotgun has a red dot, camo pattern, pistol grip, and a super-short barrel. And while these compact rigs are handy in the woods, they don’t always pattern that well. In my opinion, a turkey gun is only as good as the pattern it throws. So I recently got together with two other Outdoor Life editors, Scott Einsmann and Roy Holdford, and we discussed our favorite turkey guns. As it turns out, our favorite shotguns weren’t the fancy, expensive, tricked out…
President Donald Trump announced on his proprietary social media platform Tuesday that the U.S. military could help shipping vessels travel through an embattled sea passage as the war against Iran rages on.In a Truth Social post, Trump offered the possibility of naval assistance and called upon the United States Development Finance Corporation to provide risk insurance that would guarantee the financial security of maritime trade operating near the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman.“If necessary, the United States Navy will begin escorting tankers through the Strait of Hormuz, as soon as possible,” Trump said.A high-ranking member of Iran’s primary military…
Sign up for This Happened to Me News on backcountry adventure and wilderness survival. For most upland hunters, Alaska’s winter effectively puts an end to their season long before regulations do. Some hunters turn to snow machines, which are loud and cumbersome; others resort to snowshoeing, which is exhausting and inefficient. Peter Wadsworth spent 10 years skiing Vermont’s backcountry before moving to Anchorage seven years ago; he knew there was a better way. At the time, Wadsworth wanted to use his skis to access ptarmigan country. Old-timers and newer locals alike told him the same thing: “You can’t hunt on…

This article was originally published by Mike Adams at Natural News. A Prediction of Empire’s End I believe we are witnessing the last, desperate gasp of the American Empire. In the early hours of February 28, 2026, President Donald Trump, in concert with Israel, launched a war he calls ‘Operation Epic Fury’ against Iran [1]. This is not a necessary act of defense. In my view, it is a deliberate, fatal trap that will unravel American global dominance through a perfect storm of economic, military, and geopolitical collapse. As one analysis starkly put it, the move ‘risks American decline’ by exposing…
