Typically heavy integration with the army…

Drone warfare is a huge part of the Ukraine and Russian war. F-16s have been operating in Ukraine for a while now but here is an article about them intercepting and shooting down an unspecified target. Really interesting to see in action.

As many of you look to join the Guard and Reserve one thing to remember is the additional alert mission that most AD does not do. On top of flying in combat you will protect the CONUS. With Pres. Trumps announcement about the F-15EX at Selfridge ANG also came the announcement of a defense spending this year of 1 Trillion. The Golden dome in…
