Ukraine launched its longest-range drone strike of the war, hitting two oil refineries deep inside Russia β one near Yaroslavl, 800 miles from the front. Western-supplied technology enabling strikes this far into Russian territory raises direct questions about Washington's escalation appetite and who is actually directing this war.

An Army Tactical Missile System is displayed during the inauguration of a new artillery plant of ammunition maker Rheinmetall, Germany Aug.

Army had used up much of its global stockpile of long-range precision missiles during the five-month conflict with Iran, raising concerns about military readiness for future crises.

Pentagon ready to deploy Salesforce AI agents for admin tasks
According to the announcement, Missionforce is the DoD-authorized variant of the commercial Agentforce platform, which is a network of AI agents designed to support analysis and decision-making. This is the latest application of the technology since Salesforce won the $5.6 billion contract to build Missionforce in January. In early July, Salesforce said the Air Force deployed Missionforce with the 441st Vehicle Support Chain Operations Squadron to help manage its $13.5 billion fleet of over 84,000 vehicles across nearly 389 locations.

Iran Issues Sweeping New Demands β Strait Of Hormuz Will Stay Shut Until Washington Pays War Reparations, Withdraws Military, Lifts All Sanctions

The demands are incompatible with Washington's position that a strait deal must come before any broader concessions.

Their military careers were cut short in combat. Now theyβre fighting Congress for their full benefits.
The fall lasted only seconds, but the consequences would span a lifetime. Under the cover of darkness in Balad, Iraq, Army Sgt. Will Fisher was moving into position for an overnight mission. He fell roughly 40 feet and landed on his feet while wearing about 100 pounds of gear. The force of the fall crushed the talus bone in his right ankle and broke his back. He was medically evacuated to Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany.
