Another month, another surge of discussion across the community. If you’ve been busy, here’s what you missed — and where you can jump back in.

IN THE NEWS

Official Footage Confirms TOS-3 Drakon Combat Use in Ukraine - Russian MoD footage (4 Feb 2026) confirmed the TOS-3 Drakon’s combat debut in Ukraine—fielded by the 29th Separate RChB Brigade and shown destroying a Ukrainian stronghold—featuring protective mesh, Volnorez EW and upgraded digital fire-control and communications. The Drakon continues the TOS lineage—from Soviet TOS-1 Buratino through TOS-1A and wheeled TOS-2—by using a tracked, ~40–42 t chassis with 15 larger 220 mm tubes for extended-range rockets (est. 15+ km), trading launcher count for greater propellant and reach. Armed with thermobaric munitions that produce aerosol-cloud blast effects against fortifications, light armor and personnel, the TOS-3’s digital integration and counter-UAS/EW measures reflect a shift toward longer standoff engagements and improved survivability.

FAA Ground Stop at El Paso for 10 Days Includes Deadly Force Warning - FAA ordered a 10‑day ground stop at El Paso International Airport and surrounding airspace (including Santa Teresa, NM) from Feb. 10–20 for “special security reasons,” halting commercial, cargo, and general aviation and warning the U.S. government may use deadly force against violators. Officials gave no details; the airport urged travelers to contact airlines as experts—citing nearby Fort Bliss—speculate about a national security event, high‑level visit, or military activity while authorities remain silent.

US Approves Multibillion Arms Sales to Israel and Saudi Amid Iran Tensions - U.S. approved multibillion-dollar arms sales—about $5.6B to Israel for 30 AH‑64 Apaches and Joint Light Tactical Vehicles, and $9B to Saudi Arabia for 730 Patriot interceptor missiles—citing national‑security interests as tensions with Iran rise and U.S. forces surge in the region. The moves aim to bolster Israeli and Saudi defenses and preserve strategic partnerships even as prospects for Saudi‑Israel normalization dim and the conflict cycle that began with Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack.
