Saronic is building a new $3.2bn shipyard in Texas.

The autonomous-boat company picked an 835-acre site at the Port of Brownsville for โ€œPort Alpha.โ€

๐Ÿ“Š Planned scale:

โ€ข $3.2bn investment
โ€ข up to 10,000 jobs over 10 years
โ€ข construction starts this year
โ€ข first facility ready in 2028
โ€ข ships up to 850 ft long

USNI says the yard will focus on both commercial and defence shipbuilding, with room to expand far beyond the first 835-acre phase.

This is Wasp class amphibious assault ship or even borderline Trump class BBX territory.

๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ Frontex and ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น Italy successfully tested the agency's largest ship-launched drones yet

In a recent Mediterranean pilot aboard an Italian ๐Ÿ›ณ๏ธ Coast Guard vessel, two heavy โšก๏ธ drones flew day and night, logging 150 flight hours and extending surveillance far beyond the shipโ€™s sensors.

The drones streamed live video into the vesselโ€™s operational picture, supporting border surveillance.

โœ๏ธ Results and lessons learned will be shared with EU Member States in autumn 2026.

The first 6 months of 2026 the central mediterranean route (๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น Italy, ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡น Malta) recorded -52% crossings compared to 2025.

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆFlagwaving gone wrong or a successful Russian kino

Yesterday, Ukrainian Telegram channels published footage of soldiers from the 425th Separate Assault Battalion "Skela" (yes, the infamous controversial Skela) in Konstantynivka, holding Ukrainian flags and portraits of Syrskyi and Zelenskyy.

Today, Russian sources released a video and photos showing them capturing two soldiers from the same video, taken in the same building.

Nevertheless, real or not, flag waving and planting remains a big problem not only in the Russian army but Ukrainian

*The original source of the video is a random Telegram channel, and not the official "Skela" channel, it is likely that the soldiers in the video are Russians who filmed the video, sent it to this channel posing as "Skela," and then filmed a separate video as if they had captured these soldiers

Russia struck the civilian bulk carrier GOLDEN LEO with three Kh-59/Kh-69 cruise missiles as it left the combat zone carrying grain. The Guinea-Bissau-flagged, Turkish-owned vessel was hit near the starboard side of the superstructure and caught fire. Five people were killed, five crew members remain missing, and eight were evacuated to a hospital in Odesa. Ukrainian Navy and maritime rescue units joined the response.

โ€ข Lot 1: $208m
โ€ข Lot 2: $241m
โ€ข Lot 3B: $98m

Exact stockpile is not public, but the US likely has 200+ JSMs ordered / under contract, not all delivered yet.

Target inventory: 340 missiles.

Britainโ€™s first 12 F-35As are not the nuclear jets.

RAF AVM Jim Beck says they were bought for training and conversion units.

Why F-35A for training?

โ€ข ~50% more student capacity
โ€ข ~30% less engineering burden
โ€ข frees F-35Bs for the front line and carriers

The 12 jets can still go operational if needed.

More F-35As may follow later for the NATO nuclear role.
