On Holocaust Memorial Day US Embassy Falsely Claims America Liberated Auschwitz
The United States Embassy in Denmark has apologized for a statement it made earlier this week that incorrectly claimed that it was American troops that liberated the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp. In fact, Red Army troops reached its gates on January 27, 1945. “We acknowledge the important contributions of all Allied Forces during WWII and remember the 6 million Jews who perished during the Holocaust,” the correction read.

Why India's Army Hates Its Homemade Arjun Tank
*Kyle Mizokami* *Technology, Asia* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C1998%3Anewsml_PBEAHULYQCY&share=true] What a mess. *Key point:* The Arjun was supposed to be a wonderful new weapon. However, it ended up being poorly made, overbudget, and greatly delayed. In the mid-1970s, India began development on a totally new, advanced main battle tank that would satisfy the needs of the country’s Armored Corps. An impressive combination of firepower, armor protection and mobility, the tank was to be India’s first indigenously produced tank—and one of the b... more »

Forget Stealth—the SR-71 Blackbird Could Simply Outrun Missiles
*Sebastien Roblin* *History, Americas* [image: A Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird is seen at the Udvar-Hazy Smithsonian National Air and Space Annex Museum in Chantilly, Virginia August 28, 2015. REUTERS/Gary Cameron] Buckle up. *Key Point:* American pilots soon discovered that the Blackbird’s reduced radar cross-section wasn’t an effective defense by itself–Russian-made radars were powerful enough to track the Habu and launch missiles. However, they learned that the SR-71’s speed did work as a defense. The sleek and sinister SR-71 Blackbird looks like it belongs in a science fiction m... more »
New Anti-Torpedo Decoys Could Give U.S. Navy Submarines A Fighting Chance Against Russia or China
*Michael Peck* *Security, * U.S. submarines still maintain their traditional technological edge over Russian and Chinese anti-submarine warfare (ASW) capabilities. Yet better decoys mean that American subs will be “more likely to remain in a contested area even after being detected, and then figure out a way to regain their stealth, as opposed to having to leave because they don’t feel confident in their countermeasures." New anti-torpedo decoys for U.S. Navy submarines may do more than protect them from Russian or Chinese anti-submarine weapons. They could also make U.S. submar... more »
Meet America's First Supersonic Fighter Jet: The Amazing F-100 Super Sabre

The result was the F-100 that was both useful but also had many birthing pains. On October 14, 1947, an orange-painted Bell X-1 piloted by Chuck Yeager became the first aircraft to break the sound barrier in level flight. Though the roc... more »
