Episode description

For review:
1. Israel PM - IDF Potentially Off Philadelphi Corridor in Phase 2 but Not Without Security Arrangements.
PM Netanyahu: “The conditions that we shall have for a permanent ceasefire must include a situation where the Philadelphi Corridor cannot be perforated.”
2.  Slovakia to Procure Barak MX Air Defense Systems.
The Slovak government has approved the purchase 6 x Barak MX air defense systems for an estimated €554 million ($615 million).
3. China & Russia present at Egypt International Airshow.
China and Russia are using the first-ever Egypt International Airshow to show off their military hardware for sale, in an attempt to cement their presence in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA).
4. USAF conducting "deep-dive scrub" of Sentinel ICBM program requirements.
The Air Force is now going “line by line” through Sentinel’s requirements to look for places to bring its costs down. The Pentagon originally expected to spend $77.7 billion on Sentinel, but the Pentagon said even a “reasonably modified” restructure would still probably cost $140.9 billion, or 81% more than the original estimate.
5. USMC to test Stern Landing Vessel (LSV) to help determine and inform requirements for the Medium Landing Ship (LSM) program. The “foreign collaborative” tests would take place around Australia over the next several years in conjunction with the Australian Army.
6. US Army IVAS Update.
