The U.S. military will receive hypersonic missiles in 2025.

According to Defense News, citing sources from the Pentagon, the US military will receive its first hypersonic missiles by the end of fiscal year 2025.

The delivery of the first hypersonic missiles to military units was planned for 2023, but due to problems at the test site—not related to the missiles themselves, but rather to the missile preparation process for launch—the plan has been repeatedly postponed.

"The United States is in a race to build capabilities and develop defense systems against hypersonic missiles. The publication states: 'China and Russia are actively developing and testing hypersonic weapons.'"

In March 2024, the US Department of Defense announced on social media platform X that the US Navy had conducted a test intercepting a medium-range ballistic missile. Prior to that, in November 2023, the publication quoted Doug Bush, head of the US Army Acquisition Program Administration, as saying that after canceling the Common Hypersonic Glide Body (C-HGB) test in October, US military officials were skeptical about deploying new hypersonic weapons anytime soon.

Russia begins using new suicide drones.

The Russian armed forces have begun using previously unused suicide drones (UAVs) that resemble the new Kub-2 in appearance.

According to the Telegram channel Military Informant, the Russian Armed Forces are using this new device to attack targets in the Sumy region. The drone has a similar design to the Kub-2, but with some differences.

The Ukrainian side stated that the electric-powered UAV is capable of striking targets at a distance of 40-60km. The device carries a 3kg KOFZBCh-3 high-explosive warhead. The UAV is equipped with electronic components mass-produced in Russia and is currently being mass-produced.

In early February, Bekkhan Ozdoev, Director of Weapons, Ammunition and Special Chemicals at the state-owned Rostec corporation, reported that the Russian Armed Forces were successfully using the new Kub-2 suicide drone in the conflict in Ukraine. The Kub-2 is equipped with an electro-optical system that allows the operator to adjust the device as the target's position changes.

The Bulgarian government has agreed to purchase the Javelin anti-tank missile system.

The Bulgarian government has approved the signing of the international contract (Letter of Offer and Acceptance of Offer - LOA) BU-B-UCQ "Purchase of Javelin guided anti-tank missiles under the United States Foreign Military Sales program".

The Bulgarian government has submitted a draft law to Parliament seeking approval for the aforementioned arms procurement program. This contract aims to fully implement the project to procure combat weapon systems to equip battalion-level combat groups within the mechanized brigades of the Bulgarian Armed Forces.

Additionally, the government has approved an optional memorandum of understanding between the Bulgarian Ministry of Defence, partner countries, and the US Department of Defence regarding the use of the NAVSTAR global positioning system for military purposes.

The United States is the country that developed the NAVSTAR global positioning system, offering two levels of accuracy – Precision Positioning Service (PPS) and Standard Positioning Service (SPS). Only authorized users can utilize the NAVSTAR Precision Positioning Service under the alliance regulations.

In September 2024, the U.S. Department of State approved a contract to supply Bulgaria under the Foreign Military Sales program with 218 FGM-148F Javelin anti-tank missiles, 107 lightweight launch systems (LWCLUs), as well as related equipment and services. The total value of the contract was $114 million. Javelin Joint Venture, a joint venture between Lockheed Martin and RTX Corporation, was selected as the prime contractor for the project.
