Video Alert: The Truth about the Drone Attack on an Israeli Tank
*Michael Peck* *National Security, Middle East* The Israel Defense Forces refused to comment on the video to Israeli media. *Here’s What You Need to Remember:* Did an Islamic Jihad drone drop a bomb an Israeli tank outside Gaza? Islamic Jihad, a violent group based in Hamas-controlled Gaza, claims it did. Others aren’t so sure. The Youtube video shows what appears to be an aerial – or drone’s eye – view of an Israeli Merkava tank in arid terrain characteristic of southern Israel. As red crosshairs (which appear to have been added after the video was taken) frame the tank, an Isr... read more
Did the Avengers Call It?: The U.S. Military Could Go to War Clad In 'Iron-Man' Suits
*Kris Osborn* *Exoskeleton, * In recent years, the prospect of making the legendary superhero character into a reality has both gained traction and made progress through exoskeletons. *Here's What You Need to Remember:* Despite the promise of modern technological progress and the pace at which new systems can now emerge, the “Iron Man” vision has not yet materialized in what could be called a substantial way. Why? Exportable power. Will Iron Man be going to war anytime in the near future? The classic superhero used a powered “suit” to fire weapons, fly and increase strength, ... read more
A Los Angeles-Class Attack Submarine 'Sank' During This Wargame
*Dave Majumdar* *military, Americas* While diesel-electric boats are generally quieter than nuclear submarines, the U.S. Navy prefers atomic-powered vessels because of their range, speed and endurance. *Here’s What You Need to Remember: *Back in 2015, Indian media claimed that one of New Delhi’s Russian-built *Kilo*-class diesel-electric attack submarines managed to “sink” a nuclear-powered U.S. Navy* Los Angeles*-class attack submarine during exercises in October. The Indian submarine INS *Sindhudhvaj* (S56) allegedly “killed” USS *City of Corpus Christi* (SSN 705) during an ex... read more

US Churches reopen, but has anything changed? Part II – Faith – [Video]
“I trust the science.” American popular political culture is replete with short sound-bite statements like this one. They are deceptive and dangerous, because the subtly polarize large groups of the population to adopt views they probably never would accept if presented directly. For example, if a priest in the Orthodox Church were to tell his […] read more

Why Israel’s ‘Special’ F-35 Is Better Than Any Other Stealth Fighter
*Sebastien Roblin* *Israel, * The first nineteen stealth jets received by Israel will actually be standard F-35A land-based fighters, while the following thirty-one will be true F-35Is modified to integrate Israeli-built hardware. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Over time, Israel will likely acquire additional F-35s, as it intends for the type to replace its fleet of over 320 F-16s, starting with the now very old F-16A Netz aircraft first acquired in 1980s. Reportedly, Israel is even interested in possibly acquiring F-35B jump jets down the line. On May 22, Israeli Air Force... read more
Hitler’s Submarines Almost Rained Cruise Missiles Down on America
*Sebastien Roblin* *World War II, * Nazi Germany was the first nation to deploy cruise and ballistic missiles in combat. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The U.S. Navy responded with overwhelming force against a potential threat to the continental United States—but proved too willing to bend its principles on the treatment of prisoners of war, escalating the use of torture when the prisoners did not confirm the interrogator’s incorrect assumptions, as often happens. In the closing weeks of World War II in Europe, American intelligence determined that a detachment of German su... read more
By Sacrificing an Aircraft Carrier at Coral Sea, America Won World War II?
*Sebastien Roblin* *Aircraft Carrier, * The American ships would confront a Japanese screening force that grew to include the fleet carriers Shokaku and Zuikaku as well as the light carrier Shoho, commanded by Adm. Takeo Takagi. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Australia and its foothold in New Guinea remained secure, forcing Japanese forces to commit to a costly and ultimately unsuccessful ground campaign on the latter island.

One was the MiG-25 “Foxbat,” a high-speed interceptor capable of catching the killing the Valkyrie. The ot... read more
