How does uranium go from natural ore to weapons-grade material? What does “60% enriched uranium” actually mean and why is the jump from 60% to 90% so significant in nuclear science?
Iran insists its nuclear program is peaceful — but with over 400kg of 60% enriched uranium, how far is it from weapons-grade?

Drones Are Redefining Warfare in Ukraine | How the Battlefield Has Changed
The war in Ukraine is being transformed by the proliferation of drones—from ground-based to aerial, from surveillance to deadly attack drones. Both Ukrainian and Russian forces are relying heavily on drone technology to gain an edge, making traditional ground assaults nearly impossible.
As U.S. Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll put it: “You cannot move without being seen.”
Ukraine, with fewer resources and a smaller population, has embraced drone warfare to counterbalance Russian forces. Meanwhile, Russia has ramped up its own drone tactics, using Iranian-made Shahed drones and developing domestic drone designs.

Separately, reports from local residents and ASTRA suggest that drone strikes, apparently Ukrainian, also targeted the Kronstadt military drone development facility in Dubna, another city in the Moscow region. One of the strikes reportedly hit the Dubna Machine-Building Plant, a key site in Russia’s aviation and missile development.

- Rock band R.E.M. released a never-before-heard remix — “Radio Free Europe 2025” — in tribute to Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, to help it at a time when the broadcaster's future is uncertain and funding unstable as the Trump administration tries to shut it down.
