KYIV, Ukraine — A Ukrainian company has produced the country’s first guided aerial bombs capable of striking targets “dozens of kilometers” behind enemy lines with 250-kilogram warheads, giving Kyiv a homegrown equivalent to Russia’s cheap, devastating glide bombs, the Ministry of Defense announced Monday.The aerial bomb is a winged but engineless weapon that drops from an aircraft at altitude, gliding to its target on the speed and altitude of release, steered by satellite guidance. It costs much less than cruise missiles per shot, carries much larger warheads than most drones and lets aircraft stay outside the densest air defenses.“The first…
While it seems like there are a lot of hurdles to overcome, it’s interesting to see the government even proposing this… Emirates asked to operate seventh freedom Israel flights Israel’s N12 publication is reporting that Israel’s Ministry of Transportation has met with senior officials from Emirates, and has made a surprising request.

FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford told US lawmakers the agency is carrying out a “sweeping” reorganization aimed at closing safety gaps exposed by the fatal 2025 midair collision near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport between a jetliner and Army helicopter. Bedford also acknowledged direct FAA responsibility for missed warning signs before the crash, telling lawmakers the agency had data that should have prompted action but failed to interpret and act on it quickly enough. “Our airspace system was providing warning signals prior to that tragic evening. The issue was not a lack of data — it was a failure to translate…

Japan has completed a ground combustion test of a ramjet engine for a Mach 5 experimental aircraft, marking a step forward in the country’s long-running hypersonic flight research endeavors. The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, Waseda University, the University of Tokyo and Keio University conducted the test as part of a research project focused on integrated airframe and propulsion control for a hypersonic flight testbed. The team installed the experimental aircraft in the ramjet engine test facility at JAXA’s Kakuda Space Center in Miyagi Prefecture.
