Defence needs welders, machinists & technicians just as much as engineers. WCDIA is championing skilled trades careers in the defence sector. Good wages. Meaningful work. Real impact. 🇨🇦

The companies that win the next decade will be AI-native.
They won’t just use AI. They'll be built on it.

Drone Swarms Packed Into Unassuming Containers Sought By DARPA

Remotely triggered containerized drone swarms, potentially placed behind enemy lines, create a hard-to-defend-against threat from pretty much everywhere.

BREAKING - The woman who made a video hoping Iran would find the downed service member and hold him hostage as leverage against the US has been identified as Melissa Halverson, who works as an administrative assistant at the Green Apple Pantry in Michigan.

You know what to do.

⚡ 🇫🇷🇦🇪 A major setback for France.

UAE has pulled out of the €5 billion Rafale F5 fighter jet project with France.

This was a USAF Airbus C-295W Persuader (most likely registration 17-0601). They are short take off and landing masters needing around 300 feet at 110 kts for landing/takeoff roll and can carry up to 70 operators and gear. Perfect aircraft for this mission. Credit to Aardwark on reddit.
