Though the drone was designed to haul supplies across the battlefield, the Army recently tried adding a new capability to its body to see if it could do something else entirely: fire rockets. During an experiment at Fort Rucker, Alabama, defense industry partners successfully attached a three-shot weapon system on a Tactical Resupply Vehicle, or TRV 150 drone, in an attempt to fire 70 millimeter rockets, according to an Tuesday Army release. The move is aimed at bringing more capabilities to lower echelons of command. “Normally, industry waits for requirements to come out of the government, and they meet that requirement,” said Clark Dutterer, the vice president of business development for Survice Engineering, the company that manufactures the drone. “In this case, we saw that there was something that we could prove out, a new capability, and we didn’t want to wait for a requirement. We self-funded this to go ahead and do that.”The TRV 150 is a logistics drone, capable of carrying 150 lbs, and fielded to the Army and Marine Corps. Rob Baltrusch, the company’s chief engineer, called the drone the sky’s “pickup truck,” in the release, adding that the system is heavily dependent on autonomous calculations that…

United States ruler Donald Trump has threatened to attack and “blow up” Oman if it doesn’t “behave.”  Should Oman attempt to seize control of the Strait of Hormuz, which has effectively been closed since the US and Israel launched attacks against Iran in February, the US would be willing to attack its own ally, Trump said. According to a report by Reuters, Trump made the remarks after Iranian state TV reported that it obtained an unofficial draft agreement that would reopen the vital waterway, with Iran and Oman jointly managing maritime traffic. Hegseth: Hormuz Blockade Stays “As Long As It Takes” – Ships Now Fair Game For Search & Seizure “No, the Strait is going to be open to everybody,” Trump told journalists during a cabinet meeting on Wednesday. “We’ll watch over it, but nobody’s going to control it. That’s part of the negotiation that we have.” “It’s international waters. And Oman will behave just like everybody else, or we’ll have to blow them up. They understand that. They’ll be fine,” Trump said as quoted by RT. Oman is a critical US ally. It mediated talks on Iran’s nuclear program until they were suspended by the conflict. Iran and Oman lie on opposite…

On June 7, 2012, Jon Harmon was a 19‑year‑old private first class on his first deployment in Afghanistan when an explosion took both of his legs — and nearly his life. Now, exactly 14 years to the day, the former paratrooper will step out of a WWII-era C-47 and jump into the same drop zone where paratroopers of the 508th Parachute Infantry Regiment and the 82nd Airborne fought on D‑Day.“The fates always have an odd sense of irony in my life,” Harmon said in a press release. “Jumping on my 14th alive day, into the drop zone my 508 guys jumped, it’s surreal.”“Eight months ago, if someone said that was possible, I would’ve laughed them out of the building,” Harmon continued. “But once it became a possibility, it was mission mode. How do we do this? What prosthetics? What padding? And then it was off to the races.”For Harmon, the road — or sky — back to static-line parachuting has been a long time coming.

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Democratic infighting erupted after a handful of prominent lawmakers railed against former Rep. Colin Allred following Tuesday’s runoff election win, citing the Black Democrat’s decision to unseat Texas’ sole openly lesbian lawmaker. Reps. Mark Takano, D-Calif., and Ritchie Torres, D-N.Y., co-chairs of the Democrat-aligned Equality Caucus’ political arm, sharply criticized Allred for challenging Rep. Julie Johnson in the Democratic primary for a deep-blue Dallas-anchored House seat. “It’s no secret that, without Julie, Texas — and likely the entire South — will lose openly LGBTQ representation in Congress,” the Equality PAC co-chairs wrote in a statement Wednesday. “Many in our community remain deeply hurt by Colin Allred’s decision to challenge one of our own.””As he moves forward, he bears a responsibility to help heal those divisions and rebuild trust with the communities impacted by this race,” they added. JASMINE CROCKETT BACKS COLIN ALLRED IN TEXAS DEMOCRATIC US HOUSE PRIMARY RUNOFFThe statement marked a notable rift in the party that has embraced identity politics, pitting a Black Democrat who is straight against a White lesbian lawmaker. Prominent Democratic-aligned commentators blasted the statement as unhelpful to the party’s election efforts. “Oh my god, this kind of whining is so…

Editor’s Note: Be aware of your local and state as well as federal laws and how they apply to carrying firearms and self-defense. This article does not represent training advice/guidance. Please seek training from a professional firearms trainer for your self-defense needs. One of the more difficult aspects in the application of force is threat assessment. Very often, both the aggressor and element of danger are very obvious and there is absolutely no mistaking the risk they pose to you or others. At other times, you may instantly recognize chaos unfolding all around you but not able to identify a specific threat or determine if shooting is the right course of action. Can you assess the most dangerous threat in an instant? Concealed carriers must process intent, ability and opportunity in seconds, often with poor lighting working against them. Awareness and training are key factors in getting it right. For example, you’re in a crowded convenience store and suddenly pandemonium breaks out. As you attempt to make your observation from behind the cupcake rack, people are moving rapidly in all directions. At that time, you note a scruffy looking individual adjacent to the cash register with a bag over his…

Shortly after midnight, the United States struck Iran’s southern port city of Bandar Abbas, which is home to a naval base. A US official described the actions as “measured, purely defensive, and intended to maintain the ceasefire.” Trump: Iran Ceasefire Is “On Life Support” In addition to the strikes, the US official told media outlets that American forces shot down four Iranian kamikaze drones that “posed a threat around the Strait of Hormuz” and had also struck a ground control station in Bandar Abbas that “was about to launch a fifth drone.” Previously, there had been reports of the US striking Iranian naval vessels with fighter jets. The US called these attacks “self-defense,” while Iran called them a ceasefire violation. The IRGC later released a statement saying it targeted a US base involved in the earlier strike on a site near Bandar Abbas Airport. “The aggressor bears full responsibility for the consequences,” the statement said, putting the blame on the US. The current ceasefire has held since April 8th, as the US and Iran continue negotiations to end the war. Iranian Naval Vessels Attacked By US Jets Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it targeted a US airbase in the region on Thursday…
