		<description><![CDATA[China is running the most systematic effort by any outside power to convert the Ukraine war’s lessons into military advantage: The first offensive lesson is economic. In March 2025, the PLA Daily treated as settled fact the claim that a single reconnaissance-strike drone costs less than 1 percent of a modern fighter while achieving more [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Russia’s new Dan-T loitering munition is effectively a small cruise missile: It has a slender cylindrical fuselage with swept wings and a conventional tail, rather than the broad delta-wing shape characteristic of the Geran family. Released images of the aircraft make it appear to be over 3 m long with a wingspan of approximately 2 [&#8230;]]]></description>

He’s one of a small number of U.S. [&#8230;]]]></description>
