    NATO & Ukraine Team Up on Airfield Denial

    NATO & Ukraine Team Up on Airfield DenialThings are going to get creative Ukraine is pretty much out of missile interceptors, so now what?We know they’re trying to get more and there’s of course the domestic program that hopefully will be ready soon but the other option is to target the archer rather than shooting down the arrows. And that’s something NATO is helping with.Today we’re joined by Colonel Valerii Vyshnivskyi of the NATO-Ukraine Joint Analysis, Training and Education Center to discuss a new challenge: persistent airfield denial. This is part of a series of innovation challenges put on by NATO where companies from alliance countries submit their solutions and compete for the potential to receive support to develop their products.References:https://www.act.nato.int/jatec/https://www.act.nato.int/activities/innovation-challenges/https://www.act.nato.int/opportunities/contracting/rfip-act-sact-26-72/Store: https://prestonstew.shop/Join the community on Substack: https://prestonstew.substack.com/Twitter: https://twitter.com/prestonstew_TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@prestonstewInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/prestonstew_/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Preston-Stewart/61584740132063/Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/68Lhcj39e7zM4iM9bbJkdt?si=14c0ff0c0757472aApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/war-conflict-with-preston-stewart/id1834772946Contact: preston@warstories.co Learn more about your ad choices.

    Iran Strikes in Strait of Hormuz Following US Sanction Threats

Go to: https://www.wildalaskan.com/PRESTONYesterday the United States kicked off Operation Economic Outcast which administration officials have called the economic D-Day for Iran. The response was ‘meh’ with some in Iran saying this is just another empty threat by President Trump. In fact when asked why these sanctions weren’t going into place right now, Secretary Bessent said “Why would I want to blow up the global financial system.” Which may be an indication of how far we’re willing, or not willing to take this.Sources:https://www.wsj.com/business/energy-oil/u-s-says-oil-is-pouring-through-hormuz-trackers-cant-find-it-306faebdhttps://www.wsj.com/world/middle-east/u-s-squeezes-iran-but-avoids-targeting-its-biggest-lifeline-china-b8d2ee88?mod=hp_lead_pos2https://www.wsj.com/world/middle-east/bessent-launches-operation-economic-outcast-to-isolate-iran-0e4db091https://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2026/8/24/what-to-expect-as-iran-braces-for-new-us-economic-measures-amid-warhttps://www.ft.com/content/cb865200-1a06-40be-86a3-10ee2bb05804Store: https://prestonstew.shop/Join the community on Substack: https://prestonstew.substack.com/Twitter: https://twitter.com/prestonstew_TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@prestonstewInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/prestonstew_/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Preston-Stewart/61584740132063/Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/68Lhcj39e7zM4iM9bbJkdt?si=14c0ff0c0757472aApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/war-conflict-with-preston-stewart/id1834772946Contact: preston@warstories.co Learn more about your ad choices.

    Russia Ramps Up Missile Production as Ukraine Runs Dry

    Learn about our truck fundraiser here: https://car4ukraine.com/campaigns/preston-stewart-offensive-2026So Ukraine is out of Patriot missile interceptors and Russia is ramping up missile production. That’s a problem, to say the least and I don’t think it’s a stretch to say this is the biggest issue facing Ukraine today.
