🙅 Hundreds of V-22 Osprey aircraft across all branches of the US military will not be allowed to return to full flight status until at least mid-2025. This was announced by Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) chief Vice Adm. Carl Chebi following a string of crashes that killed 20 troops in a span of just two years. Speaking before lawmakers at a recent House oversight hearing, the NAVAIR boss said the command will need at least another six to nine months before it will be able to complete all safety and performance assessments concerning the tiltrotor aircraft. #military #army #defense #defence #defenseindustry #defenceindustry #us #usnavy #osprey #aviation #militaryaviation #aerospace

🇩🇪⛴️ Thales has awarded HENSOLDT a contract to deliver additional naval radars for the German Navy’s upcoming F126 frigates. The 200-million-euro deal follows a 2022 contract that ordered non-rotating radars with four fixed antenna arrays for the fleet’s initial four vessels. The latest acquisition will supply two more warships to be built under the program, revealed in June 2024. “Our TRS-4D and its high-end components will be deployed on six German Navy ships in the future and offer the customer a high degree of commonality,” Hensoldt Naval & Ground Radars Head Markus Rothmaier said. “We are already working on the radars for the four frigates on a daily basis and are delighted that the option for two more has been taken up.” #military #army #defense #defence #defenseindustry #defenceindustry #defensetech #defencetech #militarytech #technology #innovation #germany #hensoldt #thales

The United States Marine Corps has officially established its first-ever littoral regiment, the 3rd Marine Littoral Regiment, signaling a pivotal shift towards enhancing maritime operations in the Indo-Pacific region. This new unit is a response to the evolving nature of warfare, emphasizing agility and the capability to operate in dispersed formations. In an era where air dominance can no longer be guaranteed, the 3rd MLR is designed to seize key maritime terrain and provide critical sensing capabilities, adapting to the unique challenges posed by near-peer adversaries. Recent training exercises at Marine Corps Base Hawaii showcased this shift: Marines engaged in traditional infantry skills while also incorporating advanced elements such as electronic warfare, signals intelligence, and small drone operations. For instance, Staff Sgt. Dylan Greene highlighted the integration of new camouflage technologies to enhance signature management, ensuring operational effectiveness in contested environments. These training sessions reflect a blend of foundational skills and innovative tactics necessary for modern engagements. The formation of the littoral regiment underscores the Marine Corps' proactive approach to contemporary threats, reinforcing the importance of flexibility and innovation in military strategy. As these units prepare for deployments, they not only carry forward traditional infantry roles but also adapt to incorporate advanced technologies and tactics, ensuring readiness for complex operational landscapes. This transformation is crucial for maintaining strategic advantages in an increasingly competitive global environment. #MarineCorps #LittoralRegiment #IndoPacific #MilitaryTraining #ModernWarfare #DefenseStrategy #Agility #Innovation #MilitaryOperations #Leadership #SignatureManagement #FutureOfDefense

Gen. Curtis LeMay famously stated, "We go to war with the army we have." But Col. Purcell's insight, "We go to war twice a year," takes this a step further. It underscores the constant need to evolve our military capabilities. The V-22 Osprey embodies this philosophy. It's not just about replicating existing missions; it's about unlocking entirely new possibilities. The V-22 is a testament to our commitment to staying ahead of the curve. It's not just about winning the fights we have today, but being prepared for the unforeseen challenges of tomorrow. #V22Osprey #MilitaryInnovation #NationalSecurity

On this day in 1996, a tragic incident occurred during a training exercise when the Japanese destroyer Yugiri accidentally shot down a U.S. Navy A-6E Intruder aircraft. The Intruder, belonging to the VA-115 squadron, was struck by the Yugiri's Phalanx Close-In Weapon System (CIWS), leading to the ejection and subsequent recovery of the crew. This unfortunate event marked the first time a foreign plane had been shot down by Japanese forces since the end of World War II in 1945. #military #defense #defence #aerospace #aviation #aircraft #aircrafts #airplane #airplanes #aviationlovers #militaryaviation #militaryaircraft #fighterjet #engineering #technology #militarytechnology #defensetechnology #defenseinnovation #defenseindustry #airforce #usa #japan #destroyer #navy #marines #marine
