Northrop will integrate systems on Kratos’ XQ-58 Valkyrie drone.
The Marine Corps has selected Northrop Grumman and Kratos to develop its forthcoming Marine Corps Air-Ground Task Force Uncrewed Expeditionary Tactical Aircraft (MUX TACAIR) Collaborative Combat Aircraft, an unmanned wingman that will fly alongside manned fighter jets.
Northrop will develop a mission kit and open-architecture software for Kratos’s existing VX-58 Valkyrie, according to a joint Thursday press release.
“With more than 20 successful flight demonstrations in operationally relevant environments, Northrop Grumman and Kratos are offering the U.S. Marine Corps a low risk, expedited path to MUX TACAIR mission capability and persistent joint crewed and uncrewed expeditionary operations,” the release said.
The US deployed its once-neglected Growler jets to roar and scramble Venezuela’s defense system, leaving Caracas blind and unable to protect its now-captured leader Nicolas Maduro, according to a new report.
The Boeing EA-18G Growler jets were among the more than 150 US warplanes deployed to assist in the raid on Maduro’s military compound on Jan. 3, with the aircraft playing a key role in crippling Venezuela’s response time, the Wall Street Journal reported.
The US deployed its EA-18G Growler jets to take down Venezuela’s radars during the raid on Caracas last week.
The Growlers — a series of 2008 jets that have seen a resurgence of popularity in the Ukraine war — specialize in electronic warfare, locating enemy radars and jamming them.
The sophisticated jet, which can reach a max speed of 1,381 mph with a crew of two, effectively floods enemy equipment with signals, drowning out the connection between the tech and its operators.
The jet, which carries large pods under its wings and belly to detect enemy signals, also carries anti-radiation missiles that can detect and destroy foreign radars.
The brazen operation to capture despot Nicolas Maduro was, undeniably, one of the most daring raids in US military history. In the dead of night, more than 150 warplanes snuck across the Caribbean into Venezuela. Armed to the teeth, they pummelled the country’s Russian-made defences and plunged the South American country’s capital, Caracas, into darkness. Within two-and-a-half hours of getting the order from President Donald Trump, elite troops had infiltrated Maduro’s home and whisked him and his wife to the US, where the Trump administration planned to put the ‘narco-terrorist’ on trial for drugs and weapons charges. This is how the mission unfolded…
Starmer’s government has set the most dangerous of precedents: it can now outlaw any political group it chooses as a terrorist organisation – and thereby make it impossible to defend it
The moment the British government began proscribing political movements as terrorist organisations, rather than just militant groups, it was inevitable that saying factual things, making truthful statements, would become a crime.
And lo behold, here we are.
The Terrorism Act 2000 has a series of provisions that make it difficult to voice or show any kind of support for an organisation proscribed under the legislation, whether it is writing an article or wearing a T-shirt.
Recent attention has focused on Section 13, which is being used to hound thousands of mostly elderly people who have held signs saying: “I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action.” They now face a terrorism conviction and up to six months in jail.
But an amendment introduced in 2019 to Section 12 of the Act has been largely overlooked, even though it is even more repressive. It makes it a terrorism offence for a person to express “an opinion or belief that is supportive of a proscribed organisation” and in doing so be “reckless” about whether anyone else might be “encouraged to support” the organisation.
It is hard to believe this clause was not inserted specifically to target the watchdog professions: journalists, human rights groups and lawyers. They now face up to 14 years in jail for contravening this provision.
US military officials are growing increasingly concerned about China‘s expeditions in the Arctic after the country’s research submarines traversed thousands of feet beneath the ice for the first time over the summer.
Such expeditions could yield valuable data about the natural resources underneath the melting ice caps, significantly reduce travel time for commercial shipping and position nuclear-armed submarines closer to potential targets – including the US, national security officials told the Wall Street Journal.
Chinese vessels on research missions are also often used to give cover to the military, noted US Air Force Gen. Alexus Grynkewich, the top military leader for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

China’s Foreign Ministry, though, has insisted that its activities in the Arctic are reasonable and lawful, ‘contributing to the maintenance and promotion of peace, stability and sustainable development in the region.’
The US Marine Corps has tested a groundbreaking long-range strike system for its attack helicopters just days after President Donald Trump issued a WWIII warning.
Over the Atlantic Test Range, the Marines launched the cutting-edge Red Wolf weapon from an AH-1Z Viper helicopter, striking a sea-based target with pinpoint precision.
Developed by L3Harris, Red Wolf is a modular, high-subsonic missile that can relay targeting data and engage distant targets, giving helicopters capabilities once reserved for much larger platforms.
Over the Atlantic Test Range, the Marines launched the cutting-edge Red Wolf weapon from an AH-1Z Viper helicopter, striking a sea-based target with pinpoint precision
Current helicopter-fired weapons, like the AGM-114 Hellfire and the Joint Air-to-Ground Missile–Medium Range, are limited to roughly 21 miles and 10 miles, respectively, while Red Wolf can reach approximately 230 miles at low altitudes.
The successful test marks a major leap forward in the Marine Corps’ Long Range Attack Missile (LRAM) program, demonstrating a next-generation system that dramatically extends helicopter strike range.
In a potential Pacific conflict, the system could temporarily disrupt a warship’s sensors, opening a window for follow-on strikes by larger weapons such as the Long-Range Anti-Ship Missile or the Joint Strike Missile.
If USA has such amazing technology, and that would indicate we have even much more, why is our country such a grubby mess, infested with fraud gangs and violence at every level? ABN
The Black Vault just forced the full release of the Joint Psychological Operations Task Force (JPOTF) Headquarters Master Training Guide – a 331-page doctrine on how the U.S. military runs large-scale psychological operations to shape perceptions, influence behavior, and lock in narratives during crises. Key takeaways from the now-unredacted doc:
PSYOP task forces integrate with joint commands to convey selected information to audiences, alter attitudes/behavior (>20% measurable change goal), and support broader Information Operations (IO) – including offensive/defensive tactics with OPSEC, electronic warfare, and deception.
Heavy focus on media selection/manipulation: Using radio/TV/leaflets/print/audiovisual to achieve >75% coverage in target areas, select themes/symbols, and monitor/counter enemy narratives.
Post-event management: Assess effectiveness (bomb damage assessment-style for psy impact), consolidate gains in “occupied” or crisis areas, shift loyalties, publicize reforms, and use AARs (after-action reviews) to refine doctrine and control future messaging. Integration with intelligence (J2 for target packages), logistics for rapid product dissemination, and plans (J5) to derive objectives aligned with national guidance.
This is textbook narrative control: Reenact trauma (like TPUSA’s tent replica?), flood media with approved themes, degrade alternative voices, and reinforce the “official” story to induce desired behaviors.
Sound familiar? The rush to call Charlie’s death a “lone wolf” while smearing investigators (Candace, Mitch) as conspiracy nuts? The emotional exploitation at AmFest? This manual blueprints it all.
Fort Huachuca note: Despite deep ties to intel/EW/drone training, the manual mentions ZERO about Fort Huachuca (or Arizona bases). Named locations are Fort Bragg (PSYOP HQ), PA/MN/CA units – no Huachuca link here.
But the doctrine? Perfectly matches attempts to contain the growing questions around secret meetings, drones overhead, family defense contracts, and EMP disruptions.
This isn’t foreign-only – the tactics are universal for “influence.”
The United States Armed Forces conducted an armed takeover of a large tanker in international waters, the Centuries, which was carrying up to two million barrels of Venezuelan crude oil to China. Coast Guard and Navy forces operating with MH-60T helicopters, and reportedly including a Maritime Security Response Team, spearheaded the takeover.
The oil was owned by the China-based firm VSatau Tijana Oil Trading. The Centuries is the third civilian ship that American forces have launched operations against in international waters this month, in what legal experts have widely regarded as gross violations of international law.

The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned the operation as a serious violation of international maritime law and an illegal interference in legitimate global trade. The Venezuelan government also denounced the seizure, again accusing the United States of conducting piracy at sea.
China has perceived a considerable threat from the United States and other Western Bloc countries using their large presences in maritime commons to halt civilian trade, potentially cutting China off not only from vital energy imports, and from maritime trade more broadly.
BRAND NEW: FRANK TUREK CAUGHT WATCHING DRONE STREAM AT MOMENT CHARLIE KIRK WAS UNALIVED? This research builds on my last video and makes the case stronger than before.
DEFINITIVE: Frank’s phone screen is neither black, nor simply reflecting things behind him. Those are real images on his screen from the UVU setting around him, moving very fast, ruling out FaceTime.
INCLUDES: Extensive footage of Charlie being swarmed by several military-grade miniature drones on all sides, right before, during & after being k*lled. The one whose stream Frank appears to be watching traveled ~150-210 feet in about 6 seconds, which means it moved at about 17-24 MPH—ruling out body cam as well. I might even have found a visual of it.
MANY NEW QUESTIONS: *Why were military grade drones there? *Who was controlling the drones if the security team was busy doing crowd control? *Were any of the drones involved in Charlie’s death? *Who has the drone footage? *There’s a lot of drones & drone footage I didn’t include. Feel free to post in the comments.
DISCLAIMER: I’m not accusing Frank of any wrongdoing or involvement in Charlie’s death. I just want the truth about the drones. Please like, retweet, and leave a comment before watching since this is long and will need a little algorithm help. Feel free to change your comment after watching, or bookmark and watch later. Thank you. Go max!
This analysis is disturbingly convincing. It is speculation but the evidence and presentation fit together very well and are easy to follow.
I am agnostic about who did the killing, but did speculate early on that a military-grade drone could have been the weapon. Parker is not claiming that.
He is showing military-grade drones (plural) moving in and around Kirk immediately before, during and after he was murdered.
It is important to recognize as we speculate about this event that military-grade psyops are highly advanced and could be planting false evidence to discredit observations like these.
Similarly, Mitch, who appeared on Candace, could be a plant to discredit her work. ABN
