Hypersonic Weapons Could Change The Face Of Warfare

War News Updates Editor at War News Updates - 13 minutes ago
*The Drive*: *Here's How Hypersonic Weapons Could Completely Change the Face of Warfare* Missiles and aircraft zipping around at Mach five and above could dramatically change how military forces attack and defend. Imagine an enemy deciding to attack from 1,000 miles away. Now, imagine you have less than 15 minutes to react and may not even see their missile coming in the first place. This is the potential threat posed by so-called “hypersonic weapons,” which can fly as fast as a mile a second and low enough to evade many existing defenses. Though there is much attention given to ... more »

While flattered to be included on this list - I'm not sure I deserve to be.

*TUESDAY, JUNE 6, 2017The Elisabeth Rosenthal Challenge:* In last Saturday's belated post, we mentioned Elisabeth Rosenthal. She has published a new book, An American Sickness: How Healthcare Became Big Business and How You Can Take It Back. Truthfully, you yourself aren't going to "take it back."
