The aircraft, shaped like a dart and painted black, was a D-21 supersonic reconnaissance drone. Ultimately unsuccessful, the drone would be relegated to the annals of aviation history if not for the appearance of a strikingly similar Chinese drone unveiled at a recent military parade. AdvertisementThis is what we know about the high-flying Chinese spy drone and the D-21 upon which it could be based. High altitude, high speedLockheed's solution was to create an unmanned high-altitude high-speed reconnaissance aircraft with similar capabilities as the A-12, but much smaller. A WZ-8 reconnaissance drone is on display at the 13th China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition on September 28, 2021 in Zhuhai, China.

☆ Arizona woman accused of trying to kill husband with poison in his coffee pleads guilty to lesser charge

CNN —A woman in Arizona pleaded guilty this week to attempting to poison her husband’s coffee every day for months, court documents show. The defendant’s husband, Roby Johnson, told investigators he “believes she was trying to kill him to collect death benefits,” according to a criminal report obtained last year by CNN affiliate KVOA. Roby Johnson said he first noticed a foul taste to his coffee in March 2023 while he was an airman stationed in Germany, the document says. Roby Johnson told investigators he pretended to continue drinking the coffee so he could wait until they returned to Davis Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson before filing a police report. Melody Felicano Johnson had been charged in August with attempted first-degree murder, attempting to commit aggravated assault, and poisoning food or drink.

Some of the jet aircraft that the Biden administration ordered to defend Israel and deter further attacks arrived in the region Thursday, the Pentagon said. A squadron of A-10 ground-attack planes based at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Arizona will be stationed at Al Dhafra Air Base in the United Arab Emirates, defense officials said. The U.A.E.’s Defense Ministry said in a statement that the arrival of U.S. aircraft at its base is unrelated to developments in the region and has been taking place for several months according to predetermined timetables. —Omar Abdel-Baqui contributed to this article.

☆ Air Force Plans Special Operations Mission for Arizona Base Set to Lose Aging Attack Planes

The Air Force has been trying for years to phase out A-10 Warthog attack jets, including those at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Arizona. Photo: Ash Ponders for The Wall Street JournalWASHINGTON—The Air Force plans to establish a new special-operations wing at an Arizona base threatened by the looming retirement of its aging A-10 attack jets, a shift that illustrates the pressure Congress exerts on the Pentagon to maintain local jobs and federal funding as the U.S. modernizes its military. The A-10 Warthogs, lauded for their role saving ground troops in firefights over 20 years of combat in Iraq and Afghanistan, are ill-suited for wars of the future, defense officials say. But for a decade, Congress has limited the Air Force’s authority to retire the Warthogs, out of deference to representatives and senators whose constituencies stood to lose if the planes were scrapped.

☆ After years of arguing, Congress is finally letting the US Air Force send some A-10 Warthogs to the boneyard

The defense policy bill for 2023 will allow the US Air Force to retire 21 A-10 Warthogs. The Air Force has wanted to get rid A-10s for years, but Congress has blocked it from doing so. The Air Force has another 260 A-10s in service, but lawmakers may be more open to scrapping them. That Air National Guard wing previously flew earlier models of the F-16 until they were replaced — to much fanfare — with the Warthog back in 2010. Airmen reconfigure weapons on an A-10 during an exercise at MacDill Air Force Base in Florida in November 2019.
