Carl Gustav

Looks like the Army really likes the Swedish Carl Gustav.

Kh-35U

Video of Russian anti-ship missile test.  What I noticed is all the hits seem to be high up on the superstructures.  Interesting video.

Own goal

Looks like the Syrians might have some explaining to do to the Russians.

Japanese missile defense

Looks like the Japanese are seeking closer integration of missile defense with the US. Smart on their part and makes sense for the US as well.

Army Artillery Upgrades

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

Well, this is interesting

Russia loses a nuclear powered cruise missile.  I am sure they are making every effort to recover it, as is the USN.  Wonder who will get to it first.

Hellfire replacement

Looks like the US military is about to get an upgraded anti-armor, anti-everything else missile.  Good news.

Latest space news

The Chinese are getting into the heavy lift rocket business.  We’ve finally got images of a new planet being born (sort of).  Interesting times in space news. (post in memory of Mike Nofsinger.)

Missile defense

More evidence that the Pacific is the most important strategic area right now.  I suspect that more of these will be built.  Look for one in Japan at some point.

Ballistic Missile Defense

It seems the US Navy would like to get out of the business of BMD.  It seems like they should.  However Hypersonic weapons may make the whole thing moot.
