Iran has emerged stronger after the United States and Israel started a war on February 28th of this year. Now that the conflict appears to be winding down, the US has taken a beating while Iran is visibly the winner in all ways that matter. The US didn’t achieve a single stated military goal of the war. Sure, the Strait of Hormuz will reopen, but it was open before the joint US-Israel attack that kicked off the fighting. None Of The Most Important Issues Have Been Resolved By The Memorandum Of Understanding Iran is already aware of this fact, too. Rulers in the country have called the memorandum of understanding (MoU) a “record of US failure.” Iran Declares Memorandum of Understanding A “Record of US Failure” Geopolitical analyst Brandon Weichert agrees. While speaking on RT’s Sanchez Effect on Tuesday, Weichert, senior editor at The National Interest, described the conflict as a “non-deal deal for a non-war war,” arguing that Washington had failed to achieve any meaningful strategic gains. “The 96-hour war has become a 120-plus-day war, and nothing we’ve done has changed that,” he said. Another issue is that Israel and Lebanon are still in conflict. Part of the deal between the…

Composite repair time for F/A-18 Super Hornets could be slashed in half with a groundbreaking 3D-printing repair method, according to the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division.By utilizing a “high-performance, 3D-printed composite patches that can be applied directly onto the aircraft,” the 3D-printing method has the possibility of enabling sailors to perform complex composite fixes directly at forward operating bases, abandoning the need for “highly specialized maintenance artisans” and lengthy turnaround times that can cause severe delays, a Wednesday release notes. “Our goal is to put capability directly into the hands of the Fleet,” NAWCAD Commander Rear Adm. Todd Evans said in the release. “By simplifying a complex repair so it can be done forward, our engineers would get aircraft back in the fight faster — it’s a smart solution that makes our squadrons more self-sufficient and directly improves operational readiness.”Typically, the repair of the grounded F/A-18 can cause significant delays as naval crews wait for parts to be shipped back to repair depots in the U.S. and then shipped back to the fleet. In the interim, the Navy loses critical combat capability as it stretches to repair its fighter jet. To contend with this, a joint team of engineers…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! FIRST ON FOX — A new national push to preserve the memory of the September 11 terrorist attacks for generations too young to remember that day is launching this week ahead of America’s 250th anniversary.Starting July 1, the 9/11 Legacy Foundation will offer a free national curriculum on Freedom250.org to educate, increase awareness and encourage civic action. Built around an “Active Remembrance” model, the curriculum is designed to help participants not just learn about these historical events but also preserve these memories through community engagement. The website features modules designed from audiences of all ages that are customizable for elementary schools, universities, families, churches, and corporations, and it maps out more than 1,100 memorial sites across the nation.Dr. Chris Meek, founder of the 9/11 Legacy Foundation, told Fox News Digital the initiative is more important now than ever, citing educational gaps, alarming online trends and declining patriotism.Only 14 states currently mandate 9/11 education in schools, he said. Meek is also concerned by data showing American pride has hit a 25-year-low, according to Gallup, following other polling indicating many young people struggle to define the phrase, “Never Forget,” along with TikTok videos sympathizing…

KYIV, Ukraine — Ukraine has turned its signature naval drone – the little boat that drove Russia’s fleet out of the western Black Sea – into a launch platform for first-person-view attack drones, putting Kyiv’s strike reach beyond the coast.The Sea Baby, a strike boat built and operated by Ukraine’s Security Service, or SBU, can now carry six to eight FPV drones in side compartments that open during an attack, alongside thermobaric Shmel rockets, according to Russian accounts of the boats operating around the Kinburn Spit, roughly 40 miles east of Odesa, shared by Forbes.Ukrainian officials count on the autonomous vessels’ ability to move closer toward Russian military positions than land-based launchers could, with the SBU assuming a range of 930 miles (1,500 kilometers) on a 4,400-pound (2,000-kilogram) payload. Some of the drones in the cargo hold are guided by fiber-optic cable, leaving them immune to the radio jamming that downs ordinary FPVs, according to Forbes.Ukraine has turned nearly everything it fields into an FPV launcher. Sea drones carrying fiber-optic FPVs struck the Russian ports of Tuapse and Novorossiysk in September. Several companies have rigged ground robots to fire the same drones, and both sides have flown balloons carrying them.“The…

Today’s handgun buyers are spoiled for choice — to a degree that the number of options becomes almost bewildering. As a result, consumers often rely on any number of heuristics that help simplify their purchase decisions. Witness today the number of novice shooters who approach buying their first handgun as they would a pair of pants: “Will I be best served by big, medium, or small?” Will you be best served with a full-size gun, like the 1911 TRP (top), or something more compact like the Springfield Armory Hellcat (below)? Certainly, the industry terms of Full-Sized, Compact, and Subcompact are nominally meant to describe the physical dimensions of a handgun. However, there are differences between these platforms — and interesting histories — that aren’t fully explained by size alone. Let’s dig into what these categories are, and historically, how we seem to have arrived at the present moment. The Full-Sized Handgun For much of the history of small arms, just about any “handgun” implied a firearm of such size that it could be stowed and manipulated in ways that were far handier than that of a long gun. This made handguns a favored tool of the U.S. Cavalry, since it…

The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has warned that artificial intelligence-powered digital nuclear weapons could increase rivalries between already warring nations. CIA Director John Ratcliffe said that “AI tools will only continue to raise the stakes in our competition with all of America’s adversaries.” The United States’ Hypocrisy On Nuclear Weapons It would be “not misplaced to refer to their capabilities as akin to digital nuclear weapons,” he added, citing discussions within the administration of United States President Donald Trump. Ratcliffe further claimed that rival nations “work to steal and to manipulate America’s advancements for their own ends and gains.” Promises of rapid advances in AI capabilities, including in hacking, have been a constant feature of the global digital technology race. Last month, the Five Eyes intelligence alliance, comprising Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the UK, and the US, warned that frontier models are “anticipated to exceed current industry expectations, fundamentally transforming both offensive and defensive cyber capabilities,” adding that “the timeline is not years, it is months.” -RT Ratcliffe isn’t the only ruler concerned that other countries could outpace the US when it comes to AI warfare. During an Intelligence Committee hearing, US Senator Mark Warner (D-VA) said that National Security Agency chief Joshua Rudd had…
