The Pentagon and Lockheed Martin have signed a 10-year agreement to supply at least 850 F-35 fighters. The deal includes spare parts, upgrades, and $7 billion in company investments.

Lockheed Martin has proposed a specialized F-16 fighter modification for Ukraine featuring an AESA radar and integrated European weaponry.

The US Army has selected Lockheed Martin for the next phase of the Future Interceptor program, initiating PAC-3 Edge development with testing in 2027 and deployment in 2031. New guidance and a three-stage motor aim to boost ballistic and hypersonic intercept efficiency.

Lockheed Martin introduced the low-cost PAC-3 ACE interceptor missile project for Patriot systems as an alternative to PAC-3 MSE, though simplification reduced range and altitude capabilities.

The Ukrainian Air Force Command reported that F-16 fighter pilots have destroyed over 3,150 air targets and delivered more than 650 strikes against ground positions.

NASA may return the legendary high-altitude spy plane SR-71 Blackbird to the skies 27 years after its retirement, though experts highlight massive technical hurdles.

Ukrainian F-16 fighters are effectively used by AFU pilots despite limited ammunition, having destroyed over 3,150 air targets.

Trump confirmed that Ukraine will receive a license to produce a less advanced version of Patriot missiles. We break down what is known about the PAC-3 ACE interceptor and why its link to Kyiv has not yet been confirmed by the manufacturer.

A pilot of a Ukrainian F-16 with the callsign "Phantom" stated that due to a shortage of American AIM-120 and Patriot missiles, the fighters are forced to conserve ammunition and in some missions shoot down targets using onboard cannons.

Trump stated that Ukraine will receive a license to produce Patriot missiles, however this refers only to a less modern version of the interceptors. Specific timelines and the missile type were not clarified.

Trump reposted a Washington Post article on Truth Social proposing to license the production of Patriot missiles in Ukraine. The author of the piece offers the PAC-3 ACE and PAC-2 GEM-T options, as well as the temporary transfer of Korean M-SAM II missiles.

The Pentagon has signed seven-year framework contracts with General Dynamics and Lockheed Martin to significantly increase production of PAC-3 MSE and THAAD interceptor missiles. The decision was made against the backdrop of air defense shortages in Ukraine and growing ballistic threats.

The Pentagon signed seven-year agreements with General Dynamics and Lockheed Martin to triple and quadruple the production of PAC-3 MSE and THAAD interceptors amid depleted stockpiles.

Former U.S. special envoy Kit Kellogg explained that the delay in transferring to Ukraine a license to produce the Patriot is caused by Lockheed Martin's fear of losing its intellectual property. The general intends to personally press Trump on the matter.
