What a coincidence that this comes just as I’m reading about shaped charge warheads

New Shahed production leaks just dropped. This time warhead design and effects. Current source is a Ukrainian Telegram channel. Doesn't look like there is anything new published on the Simorgh archive

Once again, Musk reveals himself to be a complete moron to anyone in the field he wanders into. Sub 1 second 0-60 is incompatible with road legality, and in most cases, physics.

It seems the Senate draft of the National Defense Authorization Act for FY2025 effectively zeros authorized funding for Next Generation Fighter to support procurement of an additional Virginia-class SSN. Curiously, Link Plumeria is unmodified. H/t @ThrustWR for spotting this

Still well under what it was supposed to be funded at, but it seems like F/A-XX isn’t dead yet

Seems that B-21 Raider is funded as requested. Sentinel gets an extra $200 million. F/A-XX gets an extra $500 million, and there's also $75 million in RDT&E to support ongoing PAC-3 MSE integration with Mark 41 VLS.

@John_A_Ridge Right, but you need substantially fewer rounds to achieve good effects, especially for cUAS roles since you have actual explosive filler and gucci fuzes
