The United States has successfully tested the Long Range Hypersonic Weapon (LRHW), also known as the Dark Eagle, a medium-range hypersonic missile. The missile was launched from Cape Canaveral in Florida. The developer of the Dark Eagle missile system is Lockheed Martin. The Dark Eagle hypersonic missile is capable of reaching speeds of over 6,000 km/h, and its range is about 2,775 kilometers. The Dark Eagle missile is designed to deliver a sudden, massive strike. The Dark Eagle missiles are placed in a launch container, two per launcher. The first battery of LRHW Dark Eagle hypersonic missiles was supposed to be deployed by October 2025, but these deadlines may be violated.
As part of the decree of US President Donald Trump on strengthening the border between Mexico and the United States, the transfer of Marine Corps units on MV-22B tiltrotor aircraft has begun.
The Bell V-22 Osprey tiltrotor is a hybrid of an airplane and a helicopter, it made its first flight in 1989. The Bell V-22 tiltrotor was developed for about 30 years by Bell Helicopter and Boeing Rotorcraft Systems, several tens of billions of dollars were spent on the development, there were many scandals.
The power plant of the tiltrotor consists of two Rolls-Royce engines located in rotating nacelles at the ends of the wing. The power plant has an exhaust gas cooling system, this reduces the visibility of the aircraft in the IR range. The engines change their position from vertical to horizontal in about 12 seconds. In general, it can be said that the Bell V-22 tiltrotor is very complex, the fuel supply, engine control and other systems were optimized for a long time, this affected the reliability.
The Bell MV-22 tiltrotor is expensive and difficult to operate; when used in Afghanistan, the engine life was only 200 hours. Despite this, the US military is happy with it. The Bell CV-22B can reach a maximum speed of 565 km/h in airplane mode, 185 km/h in helicopter mode, and the flight altitude is up to 7,620 meters. The tiltrotor can carry 24 paratroopers or 12 wounded on stretchers. The weight of the cargo carried on the external sling is 6,140 kg, inside the cargo cabin - 9,000 kg, the crew is 3 people in the MV-22 or 4 in the CV-22.

On February 1, the US Air Force carried out strikes on ISIS terrorist group targets in Somalia. F/A-18 aircraft were used for the strikes. The aircraft took off from the aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman, which was in the Red Sea. The F/A-18s struck caves where ISIS members were hiding.
On March 15, U.S. Central Command began a series of precision strikes against the Houthis in Yemen. The U.S. strikes in Yemen could last for weeks. Officially, the goal of the strikes is to protect American interests, deter enemies, and restore freedom of navigation. The strikes are carried out by Tomahawk cruise missiles launched from the Ticonderoga-class cruisers USS Gettysburg (CG-64) and Arleigh Burke-class destroyers. F/A-18E Super Hornets from the aircraft carrier Harry S. Truman are also used. The F/A-18E Super Hornets use AGM-154 JSOW guided bombs and other weapons.
