Israel is fighting for its survival in a multi-front war being funded by Iran and executed by the Islamic state’s proxies, a former US senior officer has claimed. US Admiral Mike Hewitt spoke out less than 24 hours after Israel was attacked by more than 200 Iranian ballistic missiles. The former officer also said that he now expected Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to order his commanders to directly target Iran’s senior leaders. Adm Hewitt also said that he believed the Israeli Defence Forces would also target Iran’s military Industrial base and try to denude its ability to fire more…

Britain has been urged to create a spacecraft capable of removing the growing amount of debris and redundant satellites from the earth’s orbit. Speaking at the Labour Party Conference, Stephanie Ayres of UK Space said that the UK could become the “garbage man” by taking on the role of minimising low earth orbit collisions between defunct satellites. Many scientists fear that the collisions between satellites, known as the Kessler Effect, could create a disaster with a chain reaction of collisions potentially taking out nearly all of earth’s communications. In the UK alone this would cost the economy £1.2 billion ($1.6 billion)…

I had to search over 37 years to find a time when we saw such a positive change in attitude. The last time this occurred at a similar level was when the IFP announced its participation in the 1994 election,

The hostages have been forgotten and there had been an “abject failure of international diplomacy” in securing a hostage return deal.

There has never been a better time in recent years for Israel to launch a cross-border ground attack against Hezbollah. The Iran-backed terrorist group’s senior leadership, both political and military, has almost been wiped out – with up to 19 senior officials, including its political leader Hassan Nasrallah, killed in recent weeks. Morale amongst Hezbollah fighters must be desperately low after the group’s command and control network – the ability to coordinate its fighters dotted along the border with Israel – was severely undermined by the astonishing Mossad-led pager and walkie-talkie attack, which killed dozens of fighters and injured many…

Calls for a ceasefire in the ongoing Israel-Hezbollah conflict are toothless, according to Col. Philip Ingram, a former British Army Intelligence Officer and NATO planner. Ingram added that it will also be very difficult to halt a military operation of the scale that Israel has initiated in southern Lebanon. “It’s like a super tanker, but it’s one that’s larger than any you’ve encountered before. If you bring it to a stop and then try to restart it, the cost in lives—both for your own people and those affected—can be significantly great,” according to Ingram. In an interview with National Security…

A clear articulation of its principles and coherent positioning will make South Africa a strong advocate for dialogue and cooperation and cooperation at a time of multi-polar factionalism.

As an industry and an ecosystem, we always say there has never been a better time to become part of the global space sector.

We have just over 1,600 fully vetted freelance ethical hackers in the community from over a hundred countries around the world.

The Department of Defence either deliberately sabotaged the United States’ participation in the AAD or is staggeringly incompetent.

“We are thinking big because space is playing a key role in many different programmes, whether it’s in our agriculture, whether it’s in weather-related type of incidents, whether it’s in education.

Western intelligence agencies have accused a Russian military unit consisting of assassins and saboteurs as being behind a number of cyber attacks related to the war in Ukraine. The Russian Military Intelligence (GRU) Unit 29155 unit was named as responsible for global cyber operations targeting critical infrastructure around the world since at least 2020. Intelligence sources have stated that the unit was behind the WhisperGate malware which targeted Ukrainian organisations and destroyed data ahead of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. A joint cyber advisory notice said that Unit 29155 cyber actors carried out attacks against 26 members of NATO. …
