Munich was warmer than Washington this weekend, both in weather and in sentiment. Neither development was widely forecast. The sense of crisis in transatlantic relations was plain, especially on the European side, and the world descended on the Bayerischer Hof hotel to sort it all out. At the Munich Security Conference there was beer to drink, brats to eat, statements to make, and bilateral meetings to hold.

Something designed to teach them how not to die.That’s exactly where the T-7A Red Hawk enters the picture, and it’s not just another training aircraft. It’s the first jet trainer built from scratch in the digital age, engineered to prepare pilots for machines that didn’t even exist when the last trainer, the T-38 Talon, was introduced back in 1961.Let that sink in. The previous trainer is older than the moon landing.Developed through a partnership between Boeing and Saab, the T-7A Red Hawk represents…

The introduction of the next-generation YJ-19 hypersonic missile dramatically elevates their already serious anti-ship punch. China is currently the only nation known to have armed non-nuclear submarines with hypersonic strike weapons. Chinese state media has shared a report from the Chinese Navy (PLAN) that the YJ-19 hypersonic missile has been accepted for service aboard the country’s Type-039B Yuan-class diesel-electric submarines.
