The European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre has revised the magnitude of the earthquake in the Flores region of Indonesia from 7.4 to 6.9.The European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre reports a 7.4-magnitude earthquake in the Flores region of Indonesia.August 15th - Following the exposure of the pressure on the US Patriot interceptor stockpile during the Iraq War, defense companies such as Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and Raytheon are racing to develop lower-cost, faster-producible missiles. In the past, the US defense industry continuously added advanced guidance and propulsion systems to missiles, resulting in a unit price exceeding $4 million and production cycles of several years. Now, the Pentagon is demanding that companies "change or be eliminated," hoping to counter cheap threats such as drones at a lower cost. Lockheed Martin has launched a low-cost version of the ACE interceptor, costing only about $2 million per missile, less than half the cost of the enhanced PAC-3 MSE; Boeing is developing an "ultra-low-cost" guidance head, planning to reduce its cost percentage; Northrop Grumman has launched the Strike Hunter system; and Raytheon is expanding the application of its Coyote low-cost anti-drone missile. The US Army states that not all targets require the most advanced and expensive interceptor systems. However, most low-cost solutions will still require several years before mass production.Market news: Jane Street reported poor performance in July, with trading revenue showing its first monthly loss since 2016.Market news: JaneStreet said in a memo to employees on Friday that its 2026 revenue "is down about 25% from its peak at the end of June".
