                Handout photo shows the X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle, or OTV, is an experimental test program to demonstrate technologies for a reliable, reusable, unmanned space test platform for the U.S. Air Force. The U.S. Space Force is preparing for the launch of the enigmatic X-37B space plane aboard a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket. Taking place at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on December 7th, the upcoming mission, known as USSF-52, marks a significant milestone as it will be the first time the X-37B launches on a Falcon Heavy. While the X-37B’s capabilities and operations remain shrouded in secrecy, the Space Force has shed some light on its mission objectives. The upcoming flight will build upon previous missions that utilized the X-37B as a platform for launching and testing experimental payloads before safely returning them to Earth.

The episodes have underscored the risks that the conflict between Israel and the Palestinian group Hamas could spiral into a wider war.

                    US Fighter Jets Capable Of Carrying Nuclear Weapons To Be Deployed In UK

                    Handout photo dated March 30, 2019 of Capt. Andrew Olson, F-35 Demonstration Team pilot and commander, performs a dedication pass during the Melbourne Air and Space Show in Melbourne, FL, USA. The UK media reports that two F-35A squadrons have already been deployed and will soon arrive at the US-leased Royal Air Force Base Lakenheath in England. These are low-visibility aircraft designed to deliver tactical nuclear strikes; they are also capable of conducting air-to-air combat tasks and gathering intelligence. Military sources stress that deploying 54 F-35 fighter jets, which will replace the F-15s currently at the air base, is a "significant step" because the F-15s are also capable of carrying nuclear weapons but are less advanced.
