The outage left millions of Starlink customers in the dark back in August of 2025, dealing a blow to the company's image as an always-on satellite internet provider.

The German military also uses this airborne communications hub, which allows command staff and soldiers deployed abroad to communicate across continents. The information they share is classified, strictly confidential.

Britain is set to buy interceptors known as Skyhammer from Cambridge Aerospace, with the first deliveries expected as early as May - astonishingly fast compared with typical UK defense procurements.

Retired Army Special Forces officer Mike Nelson criticized Hegseth's rhetoric, stating, 'That's a necessary end to achieve goals through military force - you have to kill people to achieve them. That's not the end. It's a weird obsession with death for the sake of it.'

Germany is intensifying its commitment to bolster Ukraine's long-range strike capabilities, as outlined by Defence Minister Boris Pistorius during recent discussions at the Ukraine Defense Contact Group meeting.

Impulse Space, founded in 2021 by former SpaceX co-founder Tom Mueller, is an up and coming player in the wacky world of space tugs, more professionally known as 'orbital transfer vehicles.' OTVs are satellites designed to carry spaceborn cargo to various orbits.

"To accelerate current weapons development timelines, DARPA is considering an alternative development paradigm to increase the nation's magazine depth and breadth."

Giulio Douhet proposed a revolution in warfare, stating that victory would come from large-scale aerial bombardments targeting civilians and infrastructure rather than just combatants.

The U.S. military has fired more than 850 Tomahawk cruise missiles in four weeks of war with Iran, burning through the precision weapons at a rate that has alarmed some Pentagon officials.

We've got no shortage of munitions. Our stockpiles of defensive and offensive weapons allow us to sustain this campaign as long as we need. Iran is hoping that we cannot sustain this, which is a really bad miscalculation.

CMCs are a composite material, one in which the fibers are ceramic or carbon, embedded in a ceramic matrix. They are created to overcome the brittleness of traditional ceramics, while providing high-temperature resistance, light weight, and high strength. According to DSTL, they are capable of withstanding temperatures exceeding 1,000°C (1,832°F), and unlike metals, they hold their strength and shape under extreme heat and stress.

ŠIAULIAI AIR BASE, Lithuania - A Spanish fighter wing deployed to the Baltics for air patrol missions alongside anti-drone defenses for the first time, a reaction to growing uncrewed threats to European infrastructure. Spain's 15th Wing arrived at Šiauliai Air Base in December to begin a four-month rotation contributing to NATO's Baltic Air Policing mission, designed to protect the airspace around Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia. The Crow counter-drone system came with it.

Some aircraft succeeded even though they made life harder for the people flying them. They demanded constant attention, punished mistakes, and left little margin for error. Instead of relying on forgiving design, these platforms forced crews to compensate through skill, planning, and coordination. Over time, combat proved that the human element was the decisive factor behind their success. Here, 24/7 Wall St. is taking a closer look at these aircraft that embodied the human factor.

CENTCOM's Task Force Scorpion Strike-for the first time in history-is using one-way attack drones in combat during Operation Epic Fury. These low-cost drones, modeled after Iran's Shahed drones, are now delivering American-made retribution.

Infantry once relied on numbers to solve uncertainty. When soldiers could not see or hit targets precisely, the answer was more troops and more fire. Sniper technologies quietly overturned that logic. By extending range, improving accuracy, and increasing awareness, they allowed small teams to dominate space once controlled only by massed formations. Precision replaced presence, and patience became a battlefield advantage. Here, 24/7 Wall St. is taking a look at the sniper technologies that totally changed the game.
