U.S. Army Secretary Driscoll: Ukraine's Delta common operating system, their modular open system architecture command and control system, is absolutely incredible.

It fully integrates every single drone, sensor, and shooting platform into just one single network. Ours does not.

Phenomenal

🇨🇳👀🇺🇸 La société américaine Vantor dévoile une image rapprochée d’un satellite radar chinois.
Capturée à 32 km, cette image non terrestre atteint 2,1 cm de résolution et révèle des détails inédits. Une démonstration technologique pour @vantortech… et un satellite plutôt stylé !

This is AI detection of planes… done in space! Done with @Nvidia Jetson Orin modules on our Pelican spacecraft.

The point here is speed: this was done within minutes of image capture – so summary analysis can get to users faster, enabling real time action. It’s part of the shift to planetary intelligence: we’re connecting our satellite’s “eyes” with the AI “brain” 🧠📡

Congrats to the @nvidia & @planet teams on this milestone! https://t.co/Y9UVjnYxeO

Here it is, right from the horse’s mouth. As expected.

This is the V Force, designed to carry out nuclear strikes on every Russian city with over 100,000 people in it in the event of WW3. How did the UK decide its target plans, and how did it plan to defeat Russia in war?

Long PSL thread on early British nuclear war plans.

[Martin Bauer @martinmbauer]

New particle accelerators can turn nuclear waste into electricity, and cut the radioactive lifetime by 99.7% by converting radioactive isotopes via neutron bombardment

This could recycle the entire US commercial used nuclear fuel stockpile in 30 years

Pakistan successfully launched its second indigenous electro-optical satellite, PRSC-EO2, on February 12, 2026. Developed by SUPARCO, the satellite aims to enhance the country’s Earth observation and high-resolution imaging capabilities. The launch took place from a sea-based platform in China.

The US Senate Foreign Relations Committee is set to advance three key bills aimed at ramping up pressure on Russia, Axios reports. The proposals include designating Russia a state sponsor of terrorism for abducting Ukrainian children, sanctioning China for supporting Russia’s military industry, and transferring frozen Russian assets to Ukraine every 90 days.

Alongside @US_SpaceCom, we have delivered the first UK-US operation in space, as part of a Multinational Force – Operation Olympic Defender. ​

A US satellite moved closely to SKYNET 5A, a UK communications satellite, to make sure it was operating in orbit as intended.​

Huitong has started referring to these drones as "Type-X," which could serve as a helpful initial overview for their designation.🤔
