The U.S. Army wants a new 120mm mortar that can reach out 12 miles.  Sounds like a good idea to me.

A neat WWII story

Author Chris Bucholtz has an occasional blog with some really good WWII stories, as well as the occasional modeling entry. (who am I to cast such shade?).  I recommend you take a look.

Army Artillery Upgrades

Looks like the Army may be getting some much needed upgrades to their artillery and rocket forces.

Space Force

An intelligent article on the subject. (h/t to Jeff Groves.)

Russian weapon in space?

A new Russian satellite is behaving oddly.  Turns out it may be a weapon.  As I have said before I think Russia is largely a paper tiger, but that doesn’t mean we don’t still have to pay attention to them.  All the more reason for the US to be committed to space for both civilian and military purposes.

Interesting article on the new French replacement helicopter.  It will be interesting to see if this has any success beyond the French military.
