根據《華爾街郵報》報導,伊朗當局曾表示,若美國對伊朗發動任何攻擊,伊朗的報復行動將不會侷限於中東地區。1名知情人士指出,專責接收最高機密行動簡報的美國國會「八人幫」(Gang of Eight),已於9日聽取有關伊朗威脅的簡報。
據航班追蹤資料以及另一名知情人士透露,2架原本部署在麥登豪基地的美軍空中加油機9日轉飛德國。當天稍晚,該基地內數架空中加油機也被調往德國及其他地點。
1名美國官員聲稱,美國已將英國皇家空軍麥登豪基地及拉肯希斯基地(RAF Lakenheath)的安全警戒等級提升至「FPCON Charlie」,這兩處基地均供美軍使用。「FPCON Charlie」是指當情報顯示恐怖攻擊可能發生時,所採取的安全警戒等級。

The U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency released the 2026 version of the "Space Security Challenges" report, disclosing for the first time high-resolution images of China's "Shenlong" reusable space aircraft docking with satellites taken by commercial satellites in 2024. Experts warn that such technology may be used in counter-space operations.

The Chinese Communist Party has normalized military exercises around Taiwan. Taiwan's domestically-made submarine Haikun is about to undergo a deep-water submersible test, but it faces resistance from the opposition group in Congress who freezes the subsequent budget of tens of billions of dollars. The article points out that submarines are the key asymmetric combat force to break the maritime blockade. The long delivery period of core equipment requires international cooperation in advance. It calls on the government and the opposition to put aside party calculations and provide professional trust and legal budget support to avoid a broken defense chain.

The submarine Haikun was floating in Kaohsiung Port on October 13 when white smoke emitted from its main engine when it was activated. It is now in dock for adjustment. Former Navy consultant Guo Xi suspected that something serious had happened in the cabin, possibly because the main engine or main motor had burned out. Ji Dongyun, chairman of the Taiwan Security Development Association, believed that it was normal for the diesel submarine to smoke from the main engine when it was activated for floatation, and that the prototype ship needed to be gradually corrected.

The latest report from the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) pointed out that the Pentagon is unable to fully grasp the approximately 26 million F-35 spare parts worldwide with a total value of US$31 billion. Among them, more than 1 million parts worth US$85 million have been missing for many years and have not been found. GAO said parts records are incorrect, data is incomplete, cannot be tracked in real time, and contractor systems cannot connect to government logistics systems, affecting the ability to detect fraud, waste or theft. The F-35 Joint Program Office has agreed to the improvement recommendations and will establish loss monitoring procedures and strengthen training.

South Korea's Ministry of National Defense submitted its 2027 budget to Congress on the 10th, planning to purchase parachutes and other materials for penetrating enemy rear areas for the Army Special Operations Command. The budget for aviation equipment has increased to 131.9 billion won, about 13 times this year's, to promote the recovery of wartime operational command authority.

The U.S. Air Force launched the "Bomber Crew Combat Readiness Supplementary Training" program to allow B-1B bomber pilots to practice basic flight skills on HondaJet business jets. The B-1B flight costs about US$90,000 per hour, while the HondaJet only costs US$2,000 to US$3,000, saving more than NT$2.6 million per hour. The first training flight was launched in Abilene, Texas, on November 2, and the U.S. Air Force Global Strike Command officially launched the program on the 4th.
