American Rheinmetall delivered the first Lynx XM30 prototype to the Army this week, the company said in a Tuesday statement, the latest move in the service’s yearslong effort to replace the M2 Bradley Fighting Vehicle.The vehicle is slated to start testing, while seven additional prototypes are scheduled for delivery later this year. The evaluation is part of a roughly $764 million Engineering and Manufacturing Development contract intended to take the vehicle from digital design through validation. The Lynx XM30 was created for a battlefield increasingly shaped by drones and electronic warfare, according to the company, and its design features modular, open architecture to enable the quick integration of new technology while it is in service. Rheinmetall said the prototype has a first-of-its-kind hybrid-electric powertrain that combines a traditional engine with electric power.Once the prototypes clear safety checks, soldiers will put them through exercises that simulate combat. The Army plans to do technical testing while troops simultaneously train with additional prototypes in what Matt Warnick, American Rheinmetall’s CEO, called a “parallel evaluation timeline.”In 2023, the Army selected American Rheinmetall and General Dynamics Land Systems for the XM30 design phase. The prototypes are meant to supersede the Bradley, which entered service in…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! One of President Donald Trump’s most persistent political foes has found common ground with him in their shared push to save Hollywood.Trump wants to incentivize film and television production in Hollywood after years of job loss and other states and countries offering incentives to attract television and film projects to leave what has long been the heart of entertainment in the U.S. for more than a century.And Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., who once led the first impeachment against Trump and has maintained a strong opposition to him since he retook office, is on board with the idea.SCHIFF ATTACK ON TRUMP’S DC INDYCAR RACE BACKFIRES AFTER DRIVER POINTS OUT CONTRADICTION “I am in strong agreement with the President,” Schiff said on X. “Congress should immediately take up and pass a federal film tax incentive to bring back these good-paying jobs that we’ve lost to other countries.””Let’s work together — Republicans and Democrats — to get this done, and bring the movie magic back to America,” he continued.Hollywood’s stature as an entertainment colossus has taken a hit over the last few years following the COVID-19 pandemic and the burst of the streaming bubble.The industry…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani has received criticism online over the years as more and more observers have noticed that his annual messages around the 9/11 terror attacks have changed little since he entered the public sphere.”We mourn our neighbors who died that day. The countless first responders and families whose lives were forever changed. The millions who suffered in the wars that followed,” Mamdani wrote in his 2024 post.”In their memory, we work toward a better world.”But as onlookers point out that the remarks look nearly identical to his statement in 2023 — and, in fact, every year going back to 2019 — some can’t help but wonder if the expressions are genuine. Others go further, arguing that the message is a repeatedly deliberate refusal to dwell on the loss of American lives year after year.9/11 FAMILIES PUSH TO BAN MAMDANI FROM 25TH ANNIVERSARY REMEMBRANCE OVER ‘HOSTILE’ RECORD That’s the view of Adam Fisher, a venture capitalist based in Israel.”On each 9/11 anniversary, Mamdani took to X with the same repulsive message of moral equivalence between the American victims of 9/11 and those killed fighting American soldiers hunting al Qaeda,” Fisher,…

For the U.S. military, artificial intelligence tools help analysts turn enormous amounts of data into something actionable, like when to strike a target or where to position troops. The goal, as military officials and industry executives often describe it, is to give commanders the information they need to make consequential decisions as quickly as possible.But no matter how fast or accurate the analysis is, there’s still a gap between identifying what needs to happen and acting on it. Much of that AI processing happens on computers and servers miles from the battlefield, leaving troops to receive the information through radios, tablets or other devices.That means the next step in military AI may be putting the technology directly on the bodies of those in the field. While some companies are exploring wearable technology like helmets equipped with heads-up displays, Smack Technologies thinks the answer may be much simpler: Instead of putting AI in a helmet, put it on an operator’s wrist.The California-based defense tech startup recently raised $61 million in Series B funding to develop Alpha, a wrist-worn device designed to connect operators in the field to real-time data collected and processed through Smack’s Omega AI software.Andy Markoff, Smack’s co-founder and…

Odell Beckham Jr. had a stranglehold on opposing defenses when he was with the New York Giants to start his career.He had 390 catches for 5,476 yards and 44 touchdowns while with the Giants for the first five years of his career, putting himself on a historic pace if he would have stayed healthy and available. Injuries and other issues turned the public perception around on Beckham as he moved his way through the Cleveland Browns to the Los Angeles Rams to the Baltimore Ravens and finally to the Miami Dolphins through the 2024 season.ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON’T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW! In a last-ditch effort to extend his career, Beckham found himself fighting for a roster spot with the Giants. After Calvin Austin III went down with an injury, Beckham was elevated to the 53-man roster ahead of the team’s first game of the 2026 season against the Dallas Cowboys.It’s not a complete full-circle moment for Beckham, though. There is one more thing he’s looking to accomplish before he suits up for the first game – his old number.Beckham wore No. 13 when he started with the Giants and kept the number…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! A New Jersey man faces felony charges following a late-night crash in Barnegat Bay that killed a 26-year-old passenger and left two others critically injured along the Jersey Shore in late July.Troopers from the New Jersey State Police Marine Bureau arrested Kevin Wells, 40, of Warren, New Jersey, on Friday, charging him with vehicular homicide and two counts of assault by vessel while intoxicated.State police said troopers responded just before 11 p.m. on July 25 to reports of a serious vessel collision along the Intracoastal Waterway in Toms River Township.UNLICENSED NYC BOAT OPERATOR ALLEGEDLY IGNORED SAFETY WARNINGS BEFORE MOTHER, BABY DIED IN CAPSIZING: FEDSInvestigators said Wells was operating a 32-foot Boston Whaler through the waterway when the boat struck a channel marker. Following the impact, Wells navigated the damaged vessel to a private residence on Silver Lagoon Drive in Toms River Township, where emergency personnel arrived to render aid.A passenger aboard the boat, Michael T. Bereheiko, 26, of Green Brook, New Jersey, was rushed to an area hospital, where he later died.Two other passengers – 27-year-old Steven Pochick, of Green Brook, and 27-year-old Nicholas Cherasaro, of North Plainfield – sustained serious injuries…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! 1967’s “Summer of Love” kicked off the American habit of defining a summer season with a phrase. Some phrases stick. Some do not.1968’s “Summer of Rage” tagline stuck.The “Summer of Watergate” could be 1973 and the Senate Select Committee’s hearings would have stuck, but President Richard Nixon survived those and would have survived the summer of 1974 but for the release of the tapes.MORNING GLORY: HASAN PIKER’S RADICAL RHETORIC IS BECOMING DEMOCRATS’ 2026 BRANDThe Bicentennial Summer was as memorable as this summer’s celebration of the 250th birthday of the United States — but those months are defined by a day, not months. 1977’s Summer of Sam, 1994’s Summer of O.J. and 2020’s Summer of George Floyd are not fixtures of the language, but do serve as reference points.With a week left in this summer, the touchpoints seem likely to be the rise of Democratic Socialists of America (“DSA”) and the meteoric rise in awareness among the general public of Hasan Piker, an online Twitch streamer whose toxic combination of radical politics, profanity, vulgarity, anti-Israel and hate-filled rhetoric merged with the DSA’s march through the Democratic primaries to make it appear to “normal”…

We look at a slew of different and interesting 9mm Luger loads, America’s favorite pistol cartridge.The 9mm is, without a doubt, the most popular defensive handgun round in America. Shooters are blessed with not only a steadily growing number of guns chambered for this cartridge, including pistol-caliber carbines and an expanding array of SBR products. The cartridge is right in the middle of cost and performance, as well as accuracy and power. It makes sense in big guns and small guns, long guns and short guns.As the 9mm market has expanded, so have the ammunition offerings. The variety is expansive these days, including some options that are truly unique.Iffy Military PerformanceThe carrying of pistols was growing more common throughout the latter half of the 20th century but was still a fraction of what we see today. Many pistols of the era were derived from their military counterparts, which is something that shaped a great amount of public perception. Of course, there were lots of commercial pistols, but the greater discussion surrounded guns that would be used in the line of duty or in the military.Now, for all the things our military does correctly, they also do a lot of things…
