Was there any doubt after the Uzbeks demanded recently that the US pull American forces out of Uzbekistan within six months? Just to be certain, the Uzbekistan parliament voted Friday to demand the withdrawal of US troops from K-2 Air Base. Said Nuriddin Zainiyv, governor of the Kashkadar Region, “Wherever American bases crop up, so does a fundamentalist mood and so do enemies of America, and we don’t want to be caught between the two.”
The Air Force has selected Collins Aerospace and Shield AI to develop the software Collaborative Combat Aircraft will use to fly missions alongside manned fighters, the service revealed Feb. 12—and drone-maker General Atomics was quick to announce it has already flown its YFQ-42A aircraft with Collins’ system.
