Turkey's defense industry is gonna take a huge hit because of their decision to pursue the S-400. But it does bring up another issue. What happens when you use a weapon to such a degree that people develop countermeasures?#BREAKING: Production of T129 ATAK helicopters for #Turkey's Gendarmerie General Command & #Pakistan Army Aviation is now stopped in #Turkish Aerospace Industries (#HAI) facility due to the fact that Rolls Royce has stopped delivering LHTEC CTS800-4A turboshaft engines for T129. pic.twitter.com/tlQ7k0WvCN— Babak Taghvaee (@BabakTaghvaee) July 19, 2019

The UK’s Royal Air Force (RAF) has announced plans to create a hypersonic plane which will be capable of flying at more than 3,000 miles (almost 5,000 kilometres) per hour.
Speaking at the Air and Space Power conference on Wednesday, Air Chief Marshal Stephen Hillier, the head of the RAF, unveiled the two-year project, which stipulates that the Ministry of Defence will inject $12 billion into the development of new hypersonic engines over the next two years.
He underscored that the sophisticated engines, which he said will allow the new plane to tackle enemy air defences at a speed of more than Mach 4, or four times the speed of sound, would be “exploring the boundaries of technology”.
The statement comes as Russia, China and the US continue to develop their hypersonic weapons. The first hypersonic missile was unveiled by Russian President Vladimir Putin during his address to the country’s Federal Assembly in 2018, when he showcased several types of cutting-edge Russian weaponry.Below is a pic of the Avangard hypersonic glide vehicle...
The Avangard hypersonic glide vehicle is capable of flying at a speed of 20 Mach and higher, remaining unsusceptible to being targeted by existing enemy air defence systems. Avangard is expected to enter service before the end of 2019.

For her to state unequivocally that the range of the weapon system MUST BE 1,000 yards is frustrating in the extreme.President Donald Trump says a US ship "destroyed" an Iranian drone.— Barbara Starr (@barbarastarrcnn) July 18, 2019
He said the drone came within 1,000 yards of the USS Boxer and ignored "multiple calls to stand down." If accurate destroyed at 1,000 yards tells us lethal range of US electronic warfare that brought it down. https://t.co/oOf3yeSvbl
Watch the above vid carefully. Rewatch it. The implication is that Singapore is producing unmanned Hunter IFVs.Some weeks back, the SAF introduced the Hunter, a fully digitalised Armoured Fighting Vehicle, produced by ST Engineering. I congratulated them for this achievement. Here’s a vid of other platforms in the pipeline, including an Unmanned Ground Vehicle and the Bronco 3. pic.twitter.com/BhvmrqA9DX— Ng Eng Hen (@Ng_Eng_Hen) July 17, 2019
I hope you took the time to head over to his blog to check out the awesome article he wrote.From 1999 to 2004, Singapore's Defence Science & Technology Agency DSTA led Project Ulysses to test unmanned vehicle technology on an M113. This led to the unmanned Hunter AFV. More here: https://t.co/ZmCoL6ed5f pic.twitter.com/uKWy3gG3YH— David Boey (@SenangDiri) July 18, 2019
The Trump administration is reinforcing its controversial military relationship with Saudi Arabia by preparing to send hundreds of troops to the country amid increasing tensions with Iran.Story here.
Five-hundred troops are expected to go to the Prince Sultan Air Base, located in a desert area east of the Saudi capital of Riyadh, according to US two defense officials. A small number of troops and support personnel are already on site with initial preparations being made for a Patriot missile defense battery as well as runway and airfield improvements, the officials said.
The US has wanted to base troops there for some time because security assessments have shown Iranian missiles would have a difficult time targeting the remote area.
The PLAN amphibious assault fleet is likely to enjoy further expansion between now and the mid 2020s. Key projects to watch include the 075 LHD family, whether the 071 LPD family will be further expanded or not, and whether the PLAA landing ship fleet will be further sustained and recapitalized.Story here.
