"Tucson, Arizona giant cemetery of almost 4,400 aircraft, is the largest aircraft cemetery in the world, on a 2,600-acre site at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base. The planes are kept for storage with some maintenance or the parts of their planes are removed for reuse or resale. Boneyard's facilities are usually located in deserts, such as this one in the southwestern United States, as the dry conditions reduce corrosion and the hard soil does not need to be paved."

#NATO says it began preparing for a confrontation with #Russia 14 years before the special operation. According to Admiral Rob Bauer, head of the alliance's military committee, NATO's #military plans to counter Russia "run to 4,500 pages".

"In fact, the military's work began in 2008 to shift our thinking back to the principles of collective defence. This was necessary because of the behaviour of Russia, which had been a NATO partner for more than 15 years, but then #Georgia in 2008, Ukraine in 2014 and 2022 happened. The biggest change in NATO has been to prepare for [confronting] an increasingly aggressive adversary," he said.

The world doesn't have enough American military bases : U.S. seeks military access in #Philippine eastern seaboard

Additional sites serve to respond to Chinese activity in South #China Sea

The U.S. and the Philippines have begun discussions to expand America's military footprint in the eastern seaboard of the island nation, three people familiar with the matter told Nikkei.

"Gen. Brawner and I may make recommendations to our senior leaders for the consideration of additional sites but there is still work to do there before we get to that answer," Adm. John Aquilino, commander of the Indo-Pacific Command, said at a press conference on Sept. 14, referring to the chief of the Philippine Armed Forces Romeo Brawner.

The #US Marine Corps wants to launch thousands of kamikaze drones from unmanned submarines and surface ships to prepare for a possible war with #China or #Russia

The US Marine Corps wants to arm itself with unmanned #submarines and surface ships capable of launching swarms of kamikaze #drones. This is reported by Defence News, citing a senior official who is working on the modernisation.

Launching disposable UAVs from unmanned surface ships or submarines would expand the Marine Corps' capabilities. Kamikaze drones equipped with cameras will not only be able to strike but also conduct reconnaissance. Such weapons have already proved effective in the Russian-Ukrainian war.
