UK's new stealth fighter
The first renderings have been released showing a new fighter demonstrator being built in the UK as part of the Tempest next-generation air combat program. The manned flight test vehicle closely resembles the Lockheed Martin F-35, except for the lack of horizontal stabilizers and a number of minor differences. Planned to take to the skies in 2027, the Combat Air Flying Demonstrator will be part of the Tempest design, which is being developed as a stealth fighter for the UK’s Royal Air Force, as well as for Italy and Japan, and is expected to be operational by 2035. .

Drones - Lessons from Ukraine
In Ukraine, drones have transformed the country’s fight for freedom. From the earliest days of the full-scale Russian invasion in 2022, drones have offered Ukrainian forces a cheap and effective way to try to level the playing field. They’ve had to innovate to avoid being overrun. NATO is working to identify and apply lessons learned from Russia’s war against Ukraine through the NATO-Ukraine Joint Analysis, Training and Education Centre (JATEC) based in Bydgoszcz, Poland. The centre is contributing to NATO’s deterrence and defence, and increase the ability of Allied and Ukrainian forces to operate effectively together. NATO Allies are also learning from the experience of Ukrainian veterans. In Poland veterans of the Ukrainian Army recently shared their knowledge of drone warfare with soldiers from the United Kingdom and the United States. In this video, we hear a former drone operator talk about his frontline experience with drones, and why sharing his knowledge with NATO troops is so important.

Ukraine’s New Homemade Cruise Missile Packs a One-Ton Warhead
Ukraine has unveiled a new FP-5 cruise missile, nicknamed ‘Flamingo,’ and its manufacturer claims it can strike 1,800 miles into Russia. This would allow Ukraine to hit targets deep inside of Russia like military facilities and oil and gas industries, which help fund its war. Kyiv’s new missile has a 20-foot wing span and can carry a one-ton warhead. For comparison, the U.S.-made Tomahawk cruise missile has a wing span of under 9 feet. WSJ breaks down what we know about the new weapon and how it could be used against Moscow.
