In this week’s SITREP, Brad “Iceman” Colbert takes you once around the world as tensions rise across multiple theaters.

Two U.S. carrier strike groups move within range of Iran. Airspace over El Paso is abruptly shut down amid cartel drone concerns. Raytheon unveils a next-generation counter-drone system capable of defeating swarms without firing a shot. And in a development that could reshape modern warfare, China launches its fully operational BeiDou global positioning system—challenging U.S. GPS dominance in space.

From CENTCOM to INDOPACOM, from border security to satellite warfare, this episode breaks down what these moves really mean for U.S. military posture, homeland defense, and the future battlefield.

No hype. No noise. Just strategic context.

Topics covered:

• U.S. carrier deployments near Iran

• El Paso airspace shutdown & cartel drone threats

• Raytheon’s Coyote Block 3 counter-UAS system

• China’s BeiDou satellite network vs U.S. GPS

• NATO artillery exercises & global force posture

• Starlink’s role in contested environments

If you care about geopolitics, military strategy, drone warfare, space dominance, and national security — this SITREP is for you.
