RAN launched the so-called Project Sea 129 a few years ago, in an effort to give its forces drone capability. This week, RAN announced the shortlist of companies chosen to move forward in…

Sikorsky’s new weapons system can be integrated to existing Black Hawk helicopters. The U.S. Army’s stated intent to continue operating Black Hawk helicopters into the 2070s means the platform will benefit from continual investment for another 50 years from both Sikorsky and the U.S. military. As part of that effort, Sikorsky has developed and certified a new weapons system retrofit kit for the venerable Black Hawk. Armed Black Hawks do exist — the majority of these are modified by the U.S. Special Operations community for their specific needs and therefore are not available internationally. These weapons systems exist as federated…

Pep Guardiola offered up an astonished response and deadpan stare to a journalist after they asked a question about Erling Haaland. The Norway international was Europe’s standout player last season as he fired the Citizens to a Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League treble.

The Norwegian more than acquitted himself from such scrutiny after bagging an incredible 52 goals in 53 games – including 36 goals in the Premier League.
