Top Global Defense and Security News Headlines This Week: F-35 Nuclear Role, NMESIS in Asia, S-400 Tests & MADEX Innovations Presented by Defense Web TV – June 2–7, 2025

This week, our defense and security news begins in the Indo-Pacific where the United States has made a significant strategic move by deploying its cutting-edge NMESIS (Navy-Marine Expeditionary Ship Interdiction System) anti-ship missile system in the Philippines. This deployment, carried out during joint military drills, marks a pivotal moment in regional deterrence efforts amidst growing maritime tensions.

In Europe, we turn our attention to the United Kingdom, where the Royal Air Force is set to restore its airborne nuclear strike capability. The UK’s defense review has outlined plans to acquire the F-35A variant, enabling integration with American B61 nuclear bombs—a major shift in NATO’s nuclear posture and a bold message to adversaries.

From North Africa, Algeria has made headlines by showcasing its operational deployment of the Russian-made S-400 Triumf air defense missile system during live-fire military exercises. This public display highlights the growing sophistication of Algeria’s air defense network and signals deepening defense ties with Moscow.

On the maritime front, the United Kingdom has unveiled the HMS Venturer, the first of its Type 31 Inspiration-class frigates. Designed to be a versatile, cost-effective platform for modern naval missions, HMS Venturer symbolizes a new era of shipbuilding for the Royal Navy with enhanced capabilities for global operations.

Finally, in Asia, we take you to Busan, South Korea, for MADEX 2025—the country’s premier maritime defense exhibition—where Hanwha Ocean revealed an impressive lineup of future naval platforms. Notably, the company introduced the "Ghost Commander II," a conceptual aircraft carrier optimized for both manned and unmanned operations, showcasing South Korea’s ambition to lead the next generation of naval warfare innovation.
