Going into the 26th day of the Iran War ceasefire, President Donald Trump expressed skepticism of a new Iranian proposal to end the war. While boarding Air Force One Saturday evening, President Donald Trump said that he was reviewing the Iranian proposal to end the war. In a Truth Social post, Trump said, before reviewing the proposal, that he “can’t imagine that it would be acceptable in that they have not yet paid a big enough price for what they have done to Humanity, and the World, over the last 47 years.” Tasnim News Agency reported Sunday details of the…

The annual Best Sapper Competition gathers the U.S. Army’s elite engineers to compete in tests of skill, endurance, and creativity in leveraging advanced technologies. That’s why the Army’s ENFIRE reconnaissance system played a role in this year’s competition held at Fort Leonard Wood, Mo., from April 20 to 23.

I just returned from the Dallas Safari Club Big Bore Shoot, held at the Fossil Pointe Sporting Grounds. The range was great (and HUGE!) and it was a fun time. Driving 18 hours plus to fire 12 rounds may seem silly and I do wish there was more shooting, but it is what it is. I was the only one (AFAIK) shooting the mighty 458WM. Various 416’s and 375’s were the most common, with a few 470’s and even a 460 Weatherby Magnum making a good show. This is a fairly specialized form of shooting, but I really enjoyed it…

DAVIS-MONTHAN AIR FORCE BASE, Ariz. —   Air Force Special Warfare Airmen from the 48th Rescue Squadron, 7th Air Support Operations Squadron, and 316th Civil Engineer Squadron Explosive Ordnance Disposal conducted a proof-of-concept event on April 7, 2026. The event integrated a commercial off-the-shelf kinetic interceptor with an expeditionary counter-small unmanned aircraft system (C-sUAS) to address critical capability gaps for small teams operating “outside the wire.” The demonstration took place at the Arizona Army National Guard Florence Military Reservation in Arizona. As adversaries increasingly employ low-cost, one-way attack drones, smaller, forward-deployed teams face growing risks without access to traditional, fixed-site air defense. This…

A ceasefire to the Iran War entered its 25th day Saturday, one day after President Donald Trump notified Congress that the U.S. military actions against Iran “that began on February 28, 2026, have terminated.”  Trump’s letter comes as U.S. servicemembers remain stationed in the region and a negotiated settlement to end the war has yet to be signed.

Iran has conditioned its participation in a…
