🇺🇸🌟- L3Harris Technologies unveiled the OA-1K Skyraider II light attack aircraft at SOF Week 2026 in Tampa, designed to support U.S. Special Operations Forces in high-risk conflicts from remote and contested environments.

➡️ The aircraft directly answers U.S. Air Force Special Operations Command's (AFSOC) requirement for agile, flexible strike platforms capable of delivering close air support, precision strikes, and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) missions from austere airstrips close to the battlefield.

➡️ The aircraft's Pratt & Whitney PT6A-67F turboprop engine, which generates about 1,600 shaft horsepower, allows it to cruise at over 210 knots for more than six hours, giving special forces operating in remote areas a continuous overwatch.

➡️ The aircraft's ability to be swiftly disassembled and reassembled, enabling it to be transported by cargo aircraft and swiftly redeployed, was a key feature that was highlighted at SOF Week.

— Washington Post, citing a Department of War assessment they viewed, reports that the U.S. used far more strategic interceptors to defend Israel than Israel themselves did to defend their own country during the Iran War.

U.S. armed forces fired more than 200 THAAD interceptors and 100 SM-3/SM-6 interceptors in service with the ship-based Aegis Missile Defense System, totaling above 300, to defend Israel.

IDF fired 90 David's Sling interceptors and less than 100 Arrow-2/Arrow-3 interceptors, totaling less than 190.

— 🇺🇸/🇮🇷 Iranian source close to the negotiating team:

1. The exchange of texts has not yet reached a final draft concept.

2. The U.S. insistence on nuclear negotiations has dragged the talks to a deadlock.

3. Meanwhile, U.S. threats have angered Iran, and Tehran shows little desire to continue negotiations.

4. The possibility of conflict starting exists at any moment.

🇺🇸🌟- A U.S. Marine Corps UH-1Y Venom helicopter assigned to Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron 169, Marine Aircraft Group 39, 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, conducted a drone aviation integration test near the Quackenbush training area at Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center, TwentyNine Palms, California, on May 13th.

➡️ The exercise trained Marines to adapt to enemy unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) by emphasizing battlefield awareness, disciplined maneuvers, and an understanding of how drone systems will shape future ground operations.

➡️ The Venom's altitude gave the relay operator a direct line-of-sight radio link to the drone that a ground operator would have lost at much shorter distances, effectively extending the drone's operational range by using the helicopter as an elevated antenna and command node, from which the drone was guided to its target.

🇺🇸🇨🇺⚡️ — Secretary of State Marco Rubio:

Cuba is not going to be able to wait us out or buy time.

As I said in the context of Iran, President Trump's preference is always a negotiated agreement that's peaceful... with Cuba, the likelihood of that happening is not high.

🇨🇦🇱🇻- On May 19th, Canada began construction on two significant military projects in Latvia: a rotary-wing helicopter facility at Lielvārde Air Base and lodging buildings at both Lielvārde and Riga. These projects will cost a total of €64 million (roughly $74 million).

➡️ With this milestone, Canada's overall military infrastructure investment in Latvia surpasses €315 million ($345 million), making it one of the most consistent allied infrastructure commitments on NATO's eastern flank.

➡️ At Lielvārde Air Base, which is about 60 kilometers southeast of Riga, the larger of the two projects, worth €33 million ($36 million), will build a dedicated rotary-wing apron and flight line.

🇮🇷🇺🇸- A senior Iranian source told Reuters that no deal has yet been reached with the U.S., though gaps between the two sides have narrowed. Iran's uranium enrichment program and its control over the Strait of Hormuz remain among the key sticking points in negotiations.
