Unstoppable Stealth: Why F-22s, F-35 and New B-21 Bombers Should All Be Feared
*Kris Osborn* *Security, * The reasons are simple. *Stealth fighter jets, such as the F-22 and F-35, have an entirely different configuration and rely upon some vertical flight control surfaces such as tails and wings. Being more vulnerable to lower frequency surveillance radars due to having a fighter jet configuration, an F-35 or F-22 would depend upon its speed, maneuverability and air-to-air attack systems to fully defend against enemies. Given that fighter jets require tails, wings and other structures necessary to performance, they are naturally inherently less stealthy t... more »
Bringing the Sting: The U.S. Navy Is Getting New F/A-18E/F Super Hornets

The Block III flies farther and carries more weapons than an older F/A-18E/F can do and also is stealthier than earlier Super Hornet models are.

Peterson, Go Home!
DR. Jordan Peterson is one the planet's great thinkers. He defends his positions like a martial arts grand master deflecting punches and kicks.

(This from Spectator USA) In a report in *Varsity,* the Cambridge student newspaper, which is so craven in its forelock-tugging obeisance to the protesting students it makes Pravda look like the work of John Milton, we learn that Peterson isn’t welcome at Cambridge becau... more »
