- Baykar's Kızılelma UCAV is nearing full air-combat capability with successful air-to-air and air-to-ground missile tests, making it a viable strike platform for the Pakistan Air Force's future fleet.
- The Chinese J-35AE stealth fighter is the frontrunner to replace Pakistan's aging F-16A/B Block-15s by 2040, but the PAF lacks a suitable medium-to-heavy-weight 4+ generation fighter to provide ordnance mass alongside it.
- Pairing the J-35AE with Kızılelma UCAVs could offer Pakistan an asymmetric leap into next-generation air warfare, with opportunities for Pakistani industry to integrate indigenous munitions and autonomous software.

- A Splash Industries Typhoon Unmanned Surface Vessel successfully landed in the well deck of USS Essex during RIMPAC 2026, marking the first instance of a USV performing an underway replenishment for a larger crewed vessel.
- The Typhoon offers a 600+ nautical mile range, sustained speeds of 50+ knots, and autonomous navigation, demonstrating the ability to resupply vessels at sea without constant operator oversight.
- The milestone highlights the U.S. Navy's growing emphasis on unmanned surface vessels across supply, strike, and search and rescue roles, following earlier uses of Saronic Corsair USVs in combat and rescue operations.

- Exail was awarded a contract by a European navy to deliver three light Mine Countermeasures systems designed for rapid deployment from 9.5-meter Rigid-Hulled Inflatable Boats.
- Each system integrates Exail's UMIS technology with mine identification and disposal vehicles, a drone piloting console, launch-and-recovery berth, and acoustic positioning, operable by a crew of three in very shallow waters.
- The modular setup can accommodate alternative payloads including autonomous underwater vehicles, remotely operated vehicles, and small unmanned aerial vehicles, offering flexibility for future mine warfare and explosive ordnance disposal missions.

- Pakistan's Chief of Naval Staff confirmed the Navy will design an original submarine once its Hangor-class boats are inducted, aiming to become a submarine-building navy with a third in-house naval program alongside the Jinnah-class frigate and Sea Sultan patrol aircraft.
- The original conventional submarine, likely in the 1,700-to-2,000-ton range and focused on anti-access and area-denial, would replace the aging Agosta 90B class, with work potentially starting before 2030 and sea trials around 2040.
- The Naval Research and Development Institute is building design capability through technology transfer partnerships with foreign OEMs, while the Hangor program and Shallow Water Attack Submarine effort are developing the industrial capacity and stealth expertise needed for an indigenous design.

- A billboard depicting U.S. President Donald Trump lying on what appears to be a coffin with anti-Trump messages including the phrase 'We Kill Trump' was displayed at Islamic Revolution Square in downtown Tehran.
- The image illustrates Iran's ongoing propaganda and narrative warfare efforts amid escalating tensions with the United States.
- The billboard appeared on July 15, 2026, as the U.S. reinstated a naval blockade on Iranian ports and regional conflicts intensified.

- The U.S. State Department approved a possible $2 billion sale of up to 20,000 APKWS II laser guidance kits to Saudi Arabia, split between 10,000 air-to-air and 10,000 air-to-ground sections, amid escalating Iranian attacks and renewed Houthi tensions.
- The air-to-air APKWS variant, designated AGR-20F or FALCO, has become the primary weapon for shooting down long-range attack drones and low-end cruise missiles at a fraction of the cost of traditional air-to-air missiles, with guidance sections costing $15,000 to $20,000 versus $1 million for an AIM-120.
- The rockets are expected to be loaded onto Saudi Eurofighter Typhoon and F-15SA fighter jets, enabling the Royal Saudi Air Force to shoot down large numbers of drones far more cheaply than with existing interceptor missiles.
