                      The President announced the US would resume nuclear testing, but the plan remains unclear. He and other officials haven't provided much detail.
            
                
                  
                
                
                
                
                
                
                      
                                  
                  
                      President Trump's Truth Social announcement that the US will pursue new nuclear weapons testing raises more questions than it answers.
            
                
                  
                
                
                
                
                
                
                      
                                  
                  
                      US Air Force officials and experts have long been concerned the fleet is shrinking and aging as China's grows and advances.
            
                
                  
                
                
                
                
                
                
                      
                                  
                  
                      Revitalizing America's struggling shipbuilding industry is a stated priority for the Trump administration. 
                  
                  
                
                  
                
                
                
                
                
                
                      
                                  
                  
                      China's rapid progress in developing and launching space systems like satellites and its work on counter-space weapons has US officials concerned.
            
                
                  
                
                
                
                
                
                
                      
                                  
                  
                      The OA-1K Skyraider II is a light attack plane, a militarized variant of the Air Tractor AT-802, an aircraft long used for agricultural work. 
            
                
                  
                
                
                
                
                
                
                      
                                  
                  
                      The US could run out of munitions quickly in a war with a peer adversary like China. Some companies are racing fast to fix that. 
            
                
                  
                
                
                
                
                
                
                      
                                  
                  
                      China's been steadily upgrading its submarine fleet and weapons to detect those of the US should the two nations go to war. 
            
                    
                        
                  
                
                
                
                
                
                
                      
                                  
                  
                      The five-month deployment marked a win for the F-35 stealth jet, which has seen rising sustainability costs coupled with readiness concerns.
            
                
                  
                
                
                
                
                
                
                      
                                  
                  
                      Col. Dave Lamborn said he didn't "want to encumber squads" of soldiers when "there's enough stuff for these guys to do." 
            
                
                  
                
                
                
                
                
                
                      
                                  
                  
                      High temperatures, windy conditions, humidity, salt air, and pouring rain have forced soldiers to adapt drone tactics and tweak the systems.
            
                
                  
                
                
                
                
                
                
                      
                                  
                  
                      Russia's Shahed-style drones have been deadly in the Ukraine war. They're cheap, easy to make, and have tremendous reach.
            
                
                  
                
                
                
                
                
                
                      
                                  
                  
                      US military personnel have until the end of the month to either watch the speech or read the transcript of the defense secretary's comments. 
            
                
                  
                
                
                
                
                
                
                      
                                  
                  
                      The Philippines said Chinese coast guard and maritime militia vessels engaged in aggressive actions against its ships in the South China Sea.
                  
                  
                
                  
                
                
                
                
                
                
                      
                                  
                  
                      The US Army's command and control system, NGC2, is a prime example of the service's new approach to developing weapons.

                      China released footage of carrier Fujian's electromagnetic catapults last month, showing off a technology only the US had previously.
            
                
                  
                
                
                
                
                
                
                      
                                  
                  
                      The US president has often focused on the appearance and aesthetic of US Navy ships, calling them ugly compared to other countries' vessels. 
            
                    
                        
                  
                
                
                
                
                
                
                      
                                  
                  
                      American battleships were a symbol of naval power for decades but became obsolete with the rise of missiles and other warships.
