Directed Energy Weapons (DEWs) have long been a staple of science fiction, appearing in everything from Star Wars to Star Trek. However, in recent years, these once-fictional weapons have become a reality, with several countries, including the United States, investing heavily in their development.

DEWs use various forms of energy, such as laser, microwave, or particle beams, to damage or disable targets. Unlike traditional kinetic weapons, which rely on the kinetic energy of a projectile, DEWs deliver their destructive force through the transfer of energy. This makes them potentially more precise, efficient, and cost-effective than traditional weapons.

Integrated Air and Missile Defense Battle Command System (IBCS): The IBCS is a revolutionary new system that allows the Army to integrate air and missile defense capabilities from multiple systems into a single network. This allows for better coordination and faster response times.

Future Vertical Lift (FVL) program: The FVL program aims to develop a new generation of vertical lift aircraft to replace the aging Black Hawk and Apache helicopters. The new aircraft will be faster, more maneuverable, and more capable than their predecessors.

In the temporarily occupied city of Kherson and it's neighborhood, the Russian military installed special corner radar reflectors near the bridges over the Dnipro River. Here is the satellite images published by Twitter users.

The Bundeswehr is armed with the Mars II rocket launcher system. This tracked launcher is actually an analogue of the American M270 MLRS, albeit with minor modifications. The KMW (Krauss-Maffei Wegmann) concern integrated the overseas "brother" at the request of the German army, in particular by increasing its size and mass.

The MARS II anti-aircraft missile system is designed to destroy concentrations of enemy manpower and equipment, artillery batteries, air defense equipment, command posts and communication nodes, as well as for remote mining of terrain. It consists of a launcher mounted on the tracked chassis of the American infantry fighting vehicle M2 Bradley, unguided missiles of caliber 240 mm, fire control equipment and a transport vehicle.
