The cost of the wedding dress I had my heart set on was $700. One of my officemates loved tuna and agreed to be my taste tester. Related storyI got the green light, and before I knew it, there was a buzz around the office about "Jen's Tasty Tuna Wraps." Tuna wraps were on the menu and found new fans. A friend recently told me, "I still dream of your tuna wraps, Jen!"

China views the U.S. in the Pacific as a threat, ramping up its own military presence in response. "Unfortunately, the Pentagon has grown complacent using 1940s-era energetics and neglected advanced energetics like CL-20 that are necessary to increasing the range and lethality of our force. In the last decade, when explosive weapons were used in populated areas, 90% of those reported killed or injured globally were civilians." The House version does not name any weapons, but Bob Kavetsky with the Energetics Technology Center said candidates for the new chemicals include the Lockheed Martin-made (LMT.N) long range anti-ship missiles and extended range air-to-surface missiles. Other candidates include Harpoon anti-ship missile made by Boeing (BA.N) and Javelin anti-tank weapons made by Lockheed and RTX (RTX.N).

Este vorba despre formarea „raidurilor” de drone, care marchează începutul unei noi ere în atacurile aeriene. Aceeaşi sursă a mai raportat atunci că alte drone „kamikaze”, Kubs, erau utilizate în Siria din 2019. Drona are o greutate maximă la decolare de 12 kilograme, cu o sarcină utilă de război de trei, și este echipată cu o aripă cruciformă. Dronele Lancet 3 ar rămâne, aşadar, să patruleze în zbor și, atunci când va apărea o dronă inamică, se vor arunca simultan asupra ei, detonând focosul. Moscova a fost extrem de impresionată de ceea ce s-a întâmplat în acel conflict și, în consecință, a dat un impuls programului contra-Uav, folosind dronele kamikaze pe post de “loitering munitions”.
