The sharp report is concise, leaving little room for interpretation. The United States is in trouble, and unless swift and substantive action is taken, they will fall hopelessly behind their rivals in the East. The very fabric of our society is at risk, as our reliance on technology continues to grow. This is a race we cannot afford to lose.

The SR-71 Blackbird.

A spy plane that flew at approximately 70 to 85 thousand (21,000 to 25,000 meters) above Earth's sea level and cruised at speeds of 2,500 miles per hour ( 4,000 km per hour) is one man's most most amazing creation in its class for the purposes of intelligence gathering.

When the enemy fired missiles and other rockets at the Blackbird, the evasive maneuver was simply, acceleration and climbing.

Nothing could reach this machine that practically flew at the edge of Earth's atmosphere and beginning of solar system space.

Enemy aircraft would run out of fuel before they could even attempt to get close to the Blackbird.

Missiles would burn out of rocket fuel. On some instances, the SR-71 outsped missiles and bullets fired at it.

Architecture, engineering and operation of this machine is phenomenal. Even though we outlived its usefulness, it would be awesome to keep this aircraft functional for research and demonstration purposes.

Although I still having got round to watching RWBY, part from the Justice League x RWBY: Super Heroes and Huntsmen crossover, it wouldn't be Pride Month without a collage on one of the top best Lesbian couples. Enter Yang Xiao Long and Blake Belladonna, aka Bumbleby. Unlike my other collages, I wanted this one to showcase moments between them, with Yang x Blake being a canon couple.

From what I could tell, this ship has gone by a large list of other titles than just Bumbleby. "Bumblebee", "BMBLB", "Hypersonic Lion Tamer", "Longcat", "Burning Shadows", "Blang", "Wasps", "Hornets", "Black Fire", "Black Flames", "Black Embers", "Golden Whip", "Yellow Whip", "Black Dragon", "Poisonous Dragon", "Amaterasu" and "Black Furnace".

I once read somewhere, Will uses his hypersonic whistling thing and his first reaction is to cover Nico’s ears and I just think it’s cute. It’s a small detail, him hugging Nico’s head close to his chest and cover his other ear, making sure he’d be unharmed first, but it warms me inside out.

Also known as Dark Eagle, it is a intermediate-range surface-to-surface boost-glide hypersonic missile being developed for use by the United States Army. The United States Navy intends to procure a ship/submarine-launched variant of the missile.

Israel Vows Retaliation After Houthi Missile Strike

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed that Yemen's Houthi forces will face severe repercussions after a missile fired by the group landed in central Israel. The missile, which struck an uninhabited area early Sunday, marks a significant escalation, as it is the first time a Houthi missile has reached such deep into Israeli territory.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed that the missile landed in central Israel after evading air defense systems. Shrapnel found at the scene indicated that Israeli efforts to intercept the missile were unsuccessful. The military is now investigating how the missile managed to reach so far, nearly 2,000 kilometers (1,240 miles) from Yemen.

The Houthis, an armed group involved in Yemen’s civil war, claimed responsibility for the attack, saying they used a new type of hypersonic missile, which may explain the failure to intercept it. In a statement, the group declared that the strike was in solidarity with the Palestinian cause, and warned that Israel should expect further attacks ahead of the anniversary of the 7 October Hamas-led assault.

The missile caused minor damage at a railway station in Modiin and in open land near Tel Aviv’s main international airport. Israeli authorities believe the damage resulted from fragments of Israel’s own interceptor missiles.

Netanyahu framed the strike as part of a broader conflict with Iran’s so-called "axis of resistance," which includes the Houthis, Hamas, and other Iran-backed groups opposed to Israel and its allies.

"We are in a multi-front battle against Iran’s axis of evil that seeks to destroy us," Netanyahu stated. "The Houthis should have learned by now that we exact a heavy price for any attempt to harm us."

This incident follows previous Houthi attacks, including a drone strike in July that killed one person and injured eight in Tel Aviv. In response to Sunday’s missile strike, Israeli jets launched retaliatory strikes on Hodeidah in Yemen, targeting key infrastructure, including an oil storage facility, which was set ablaze.

Israel continues its military campaign against Hamas following the 7 October attacks, which left around 1,200 people dead and 251 hostages taken to Gaza. According to the Hamas-run health ministry, more than 41,206 people have died in Gaza since Israel launched retaliatory operations.
