美國空軍規劃未來以B-21與現代化B-52轟炸機構成轟炸機部隊的重要力量,但B-21的詳細性能數據仍有不少未公開。戴斯基地未來10年現代化計畫預估將推動超過24項新建及整修工程,總規模約16億美元。
美軍下一代B-21「突襲者」(Raider)匿襲轟炸機尚未進駐德州戴斯空軍基地(Dyess Air Force Base),基地已先為它興建專用設施。美國空軍11月5日舉行動土儀式,啟動一項造價7800萬美元(約新台幣25.6億元)的任務規劃中心工程,預計提供未來B-21任務規劃所需的安全空間與通訊設施。
軍聞網站《Army Recognition》8日報導,這棟建築面積約4274平方公尺,是戴斯基地首座專為未來B-21運作設計的設施。根據美軍第7轟炸機聯隊11月6日發布的消息,工程將成為基地未來B-21任務規劃的重要支援據點。
戴斯基地未來將成為美國空軍B-21的第三座主要作戰基地,另外兩處分別是南達科他州艾爾斯沃斯空軍基地(Ellsworth Air Force Base),以及密蘇里州懷特曼空軍基地(Whiteman Air Force Base)。這項工程並非美軍新選定的部署地點,而是既有基地規劃的一部分。
新建築將設置安全工作空間及通訊基礎設施,供人員規劃任務及準備執行全球打擊任務。基地指揮官、上校史特吉爾(Robert Sturgill Jr.)形容,這棟建築將成為未來B-21園區的「神經中樞」,現代化通訊網路與安全設施是其中的重要部分。
這項工程也納入戴斯基地未來10年的現代化計畫。相關計畫預估將推動超過24項新建及整修工程,總規模約16億美元,涵蓋基地設施升級及不同機隊的運作需求。
B-21由美國諾斯洛普·格魯曼公司(Northrop Grumman)研製,是可執行常規與核武任務的長程匿襲轟炸機,設計用途包括穿透防空系統嚴密的空域。美國空軍規劃未來以B-21與現代化B-52轟炸機構成轟炸機部隊的重要力量,但B-21的詳細性能數據仍有不少未公開。

The People's Liberation Army of China has recently assembled more than a hundred naval and coast guard vessels in the Western Pacific, and the U.S. think tank ISW has concluded that it may conduct an unannounced large-scale "silent military exercise." It is less than a month before the nine-in-one election on November 28, which has attracted attention. Looking back at the 60 days before each election from 2016 to 2024, the CCP’s military pressure took different forms, including aircraft crossing the Taiwan Strait, intensive military aircraft activities, airborne balloons, and unannounced fleet deployments. However, not every election increased military pressure, and there is currently no sufficient evidence to prove that military activities directly target the election.

More than 100 Chinese vessels have been deployed in the western Pacific and South China Sea, prompting analyst questions about whether Beijing is rehearsing operations to block US and allied intervention in a Taiwan conflict, though no large-scale drill has been announced.

On the day of the "118 Coast Patrol Day", the Coast Guard's Third Coast Patrol Team handled four cases in succession, including fishing violations, rescue of people falling overboard, search and rescue of missing people, and buoyancy failure and stranding, demonstrating the coast patrol's ability to protect maritime security around the clock.

The Airports and Ports Bureau revised the "Principles for Reviewing the Period of Permit for Non-resident Yachts Applying to Visit Taiwan" and added that Chinese-owned yachts are prohibited from coming to Taiwan. Violators will be fined up to NT$300,000 and must leave the port immediately. Ji Dongyun, chairman of the Taiwan Security Development Association, pointed out that if Chinese-funded yachts carry attack drones to raid, it will pose a great threat to Taiwan's important ports. He gave the example of Ukraine's Spider Web operation and emphasized that Taiwan needs to strengthen prevention.

China's third aircraft carrier, the Fujian, has been in service for one year since November 5 last year. CCTV revealed that it has completed the electromagnetic catapult take-off and landing of multiple types of carrier-based aircraft, cross-sea navigation and preliminary formation training, and has basically formed combat effectiveness. However, the US military media believes that it remains to be seen whether it can complete all combat effectiveness certifications in about one year of service. The Chinese Navy has not officially announced that it has achieved complete combat capabilities.

Huida CEO Jen-Hsun Huang admitted to being unfaithful to his wife. U.S. intelligence agencies suspect that a Chinese female company executive with whom he has close connections may have been recruited by Chinese intelligence agencies in an attempt to collect information on advanced artificial intelligence chips and influence export policies. The author points out that human weakness is the most difficult aspect of national security to guard against, and is far more serious than technical vulnerabilities.
