The U.S. and its allies have expended a great deal of their arsenal in the past few years. It simply does not matter if there's a peace deal tomorrow, because those weapons must be stockpiled again and then some.

Boeing reported a first-quarter loss of $7 million, a significant improvement from the $31 million loss a year earlier, as defense and space earnings increased amid rising demand.

Gen. Dan Caine stated that autonomous weapons are going to be a 'key and essential part of everything we do' in future warfare, indicating a significant shift in military strategy.

Lord Robertson stated, 'We need to sort of round up those who are available, fit, and willing to be able to do it.' This emphasizes the urgency of engaging former service personnel in the strategic reserve.

"To accelerate current weapons development timelines, DARPA is considering an alternative development paradigm to increase the nation's magazine depth and breadth."

We've got no shortage of munitions. Our stockpiles of defensive and offensive weapons allow us to sustain this campaign as long as we need. Iran is hoping that we cannot sustain this, which is a really bad miscalculation.

the AI-capable equipment includes radios, headsets, display tablets, cables, batteries, pouches, and antennas.

Snipers often discover a weapon's true potential only after it leaves the range and enters combat. Dust, cold, heat, and chaos expose weaknesses, but sometimes they reveal strengths no one planned for. Across multiple wars, certain sniper systems proved tougher, more accurate, and more versatile than expected, allowing operators to push ranges and missions far beyond the original design brief. Here, 24/7 Wall St. is taking a closer look at sniper systems that exceeded expectations in combat.

From February 2 to 4, Libya's eastern commander, renegade military commander Khalifa Haftar, visited Rawalpindi for talks at Pakistan's army headquarters with the army chief, Asim Munir. The visit might have seemed routine, but it highlights Pakistan's expanding defence diplomacy in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). Pakistan reportedly signed a $4bn defence deal with Haftar's self-styled Libyan National Army (LNA), including 16 JF-17 fighters and 12 Super Mushak trainer aircraft, structured over roughly two and a half years.

For most of the twentieth century, airpower was one of the most costly components of military strength. Fighter jets, strategic bombers, and advanced missile systems necessitated massive financial investments, highly skilled personnel, and sophisticated logistical support networks. Only great military forces had the ability to sustain these capabilities.

On paper, many of the world's most famous weapons looked like reliable successes. In practice, desert sand, jungle humidity, and arctic cold often had other ideas. Systems that performed well in testing or early combat sometimes broke down once environmental stress became unavoidable. Here, 24/7 Wall St. is taking a closer look at how the environment, not enemy fire, can quietly expose limits that designers never fully anticipated.
