Belgium’s forthcoming Joint Electronic Warfare Support Centre will be collocated at the Belgian Ministry of Defence’s new headquarters currently under construction in northeast Brussels.

There are military aircraft that become legends because they dominated wars. Then there are the strange ghosts, the machines so ambitious, so unnervingly futuristic, that they never really got the chance to prove themselves. The RAH-66 Comanche belongs squarely in that second category.At first glance, it looked less like a helicopter and more like something borrowed from a stealth-fighter sketchbook. Angular fuselage. Hidden weapons. Whisper-quiet rotor design. Even now, decades later, the aircraft still feels oddly modern, almost suspiciously modern. You could park it beside some current rotorcraft concepts and nobody would blink.That’s the weird part.The Boeing–Sikorsky RAH-66 Comanche first…

The first encounter between middleweight champion Khamzat Chimaev and Sean Strickland goes down Thursday at the UFC 328 pre-fight press conference with the action set to begin at 5 p.m. ET on Thursday.A lot has been made about the volatility shared between Chimaev and Strickland, which has forced the UFC to hire extra security to work the event not to mention keeping the fighters separated from all the normal pre-fight activities.

New — Counting Losses New feature will allow designers…

There’s no doubt about it—Gladiator fever is back and motivating us all to get fitter. While American Gladiators kicked things off in 1989, the recent success of international reboots in Australia, France and the United Kingdom has reignited the global phenomenon once again. And it is in the U.K. that a world’s first “Gladiators Experience” has opened its doors at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham. So, as a childhood Gladiators fan who is now a grown-up fitness writer, I couldn’t resist the chance to step inside the arena, and while I soon learned that winning is not always possible,…

For nine months in 2024 and 2025, I had an additional duty — monitoring an inbox that connected potential direct commission candidates with the Army’s individual branches. I served on the Army Reserve’s senior leadership team, helping to stand up a brokerage between mid-career professionals and the decentralized branch pipelines that controlled direct commission slots.During that time, I personally reviewed over 300 inquiries from accomplished professionals — data scientists, logistics engineers, cyber specialists, and strategic communicators — all of whom wanted to serve their country in uniform. The experience taught me two main lessons. First, people either regret not serving…

Jim Miller knows he’s getting closer to the end of his career. Miller is set to return at UFC 328 on Saturday against Jared Gordon in what should be a fun fight. The veteran hasn’t fought in over a year due to an injury, and his son was diagnosed with cancer, which he beat. Once he was ready to return, Miller was offered Gordon at UFC 328 in Newark, which he was excited about. “He’s been around for a bit, and he has some really great fights and performances inside the Octagon. It’s fun to share the Octagon with the…
