Chimaev, 32, is a three-time Swedish national freestyle wrestling champion and a former medalist in the Russian junior national championships. As for Burns, who turned 40 back in July, his wrestling has been limited to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) and submission grappling tournaments, putting him at a marked disadvantage for this Friday night’s rematch.“For sure he’s a better wrestler, you can say that,” Burns told MMA Junkie. “He’s competed many more times than me. He’s a bigger guy, but the heart and the cardio, I think I can be in front of him. That’s my goal: to frustrate him, get my…

“This is a huge step, but it’s going to be a long journey between this memo and actually implementing it in contracts,” David Berteau said. Anastasia Obis September 16, 2026 7:42 pm 3 min read The Pentagon is moving away from government-unique Cost Accounting Standards to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, more commonly known as GAAP, that are used in the commercial sector to make it much easier for commercial firms to do business with the department.  In a memo released on Tuesday, Deputy Defense Secretary Steve Feinberg said the department will shift from CAS to the “accounting every American company…

Hanwha Aerospace introduced a new artillery direction concept that links a VTOL Drone directly into the fire control system of its K9 Thunder 155mm self-propelled howitzer. Building on the broad application of digital electronics and automation in the K9, the system can execute the fire mission directly, delivering faster,d more accurate rounds on target. (Hanwha)Hanwha Aerospace has made the K9 Thunder self-propelled howitzer one of the most advanced and sought-after artillery systems by pursuing innovations that improve its ability to deliver fires more efficiently.  At the K9 User Club event held 2 – 4 September at the National Museum in…

China is devoting enormous efforts — from submarines to ballistic missiles — to destroy America’s aircraft carriers.The strategy prompted a U.S. think tank to ask why America couldn’t do the same and sink China’s growing fleet of carriers.The think tank, the Center for Strategic and International Studies, devised a plan to target Chinese carriers by using many of the same tactics that China would use against American flattops.“China’s expanding carrier force presents a strategic vulnerability that the United States and its allies can exploit, rather than merely a challenge to U.S. dominance,” argues a CSIS report, titled “Flip the Script.”“Instead…

Terry Gerton David, let me start with you, because for years, we’ve heard that federal laboratories generate remarkable technologies, but they often struggle to get them into operational use. Where are you seeing real progress today? David Lee I think we’re seeing real progress in a lot of the technologies that are of interest to the Department of Defense currently, such as drones, munitions, things like that. The department wants to know how to do things faster and how to work with partners a little more directly. So we’re working with partners that are maybe new to the field that…

For years, the Pentagon has been asking the wrong question about 3D printing. The debate has swung between extravagant predictions that additive manufacturing would put factories on the battlefield and replace warehouses with digital files, and skepticism that dismissed the technology as expensive, slow, and ill-suited to mass production. Neither vision captures what is happening now. In 2025, a 992-pound, five-foot-long additively manufactured metal valve manifold was installed aboard a nuclear-powered US Navy aircraft carrier. Another 3D printed metal component went aboard a Virginia-class submarine. The Navy has now approved 101 additively manufactured components installed aboard ships and submarines, while…

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government is struggling to strike a deal to fund the Israeli military’s request for $8 billion before next month’s election. Israel’s military is seeking about $8 billion in additional funding, but Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government is struggling to strike a deal to unlock the money before next month’s election. Netanyahu this week failed to secure opposition leader Yair Lapid’s support to allocate 25 billion shekels ($8.2 billion) in extra funding to the military, whose finances have come under strain from almost three years of fighting in Gaza, Yemen, Lebanon and Iran, according to people familiar…
