Beware the climate silencers
Global warming campaigners want to silence those who dare correct the record on climate. When the media and governments pile on that's a blow to liberty. The post Beware the climate silencers appeared first on CFACT.
The New Age Of Stealth Is Arriving: Is This The End of The F-22?
*Robert Beckhusen* *Security, * Coming soon. *Key point:* Fewer moving surfaces mean a much stealthier craft. Researchers at BAE Systems and The University of Manchester successfully test-flew an experimental unmanned aerial vehicle with no moving control surfaces, BAE Systems announced in December 2017. The 12-foot-span, jet-propelled MAGMA drone could help BAE develop stealthier warplanes. Control surfaces account for a significant portion of an airplane’s radar signature. Instead of rudders, ailerons and other conventional control surfaces, MAGMA relies on two new technologi... more »
Russia? China? America? Can You Guess Which Navies Make the Top 5?
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Americas* [image: https://www.dvidshub.net/image/5812917/sails-formation] Find out who makes the cut. *Key point:* All of these navies are the heavyweight powerhouses of the modern world. It’s a universal truth handed down since antiquity: a country with a coastline has a navy. Big or small, navies worldwide have the same basic mission—to project military might into neighboring waters and beyond. The peacetime role of navies has been more or less the same for thousands of years. Navies protect the homeland, keep shipping routes and lines of communicat... more »
Let the Debate Begin: Smith & Wesson's Best Guns of All-Time
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * Which is right for you? *Key point:* We try to tackle the debate. Smith & Wesson is one of the oldest, and most storied names in American firearms. Founded in the 1800s, the company specialized in revolvers and guns such as the No.3 and Schofield became synonymous with the Old West. Although Smith & Wesson is best known for its handguns,the company now makes guns of all stripes, from revolvers to pistols to their own version of the AR-15 rifle. Here are five of the storied company’s best contemporary offerings. *Smith & Wesson 686* Smith & Wesson c... more »
See This U.S. Submarine? No One Can Tell Us Why It Never Came Home
*Kyle Mizokami* *History, Americas* [image: Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=475892] A tragic and strange story. *Key point: *Suspicions over what destroyed the USS *Scorpion* included overdue repairs or even the Soviets. In May 1968, a U.S. nuclear-powered attack submarine was sent on a secret mission to spy on the Soviet navy. Seven days later, with the families of the crew waiting dockside for the USS *Scorpion* to return from a three-month patrol, the U.S. Navy realized that the submarine was missing. *Scorpion* had been the victim of a mysteri... more »
These 5 Guns Are the Worst Humans Ever Invented
*Kyle Mizokami* *Technology, * Some truly terrible weapons. *Key point:* History's worst designed pistols... Handheld firearms have existed in one form or another since the 13th century. Despite their long history, there have been relatively few real, genuine clunkers in the world of handguns. The close engagement range of handguns—typically zero to twenty-five feet—means that a handgun operator will often have little or no chance to clear a jammed weapon, and therefore complete, absolute, unqualified reliability is a must. Nevertheless, some handgun clunkers became famous, pop... more »
I Ran a Simulated War in the South China Sea—and America Lost
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Asia* [image: https://www.dvidshub.net/image/5740688/uss-sioux-city-arrives-submarine-base-new-london] Horror. *Key Point*: Simulations are useful for seeing how a war might unfold, and it turns out China's navy just keeps getting better. The year is 2016, and two of the U.S. Navy’s latest ships are backing a key ally in the tinderbox of the South China Sea. They’re facing down the Chinese navy halfway across the world with the latest weapons and systems the United States can get its hands on. But is it enough?

Ready for War: Iran Is Bristling with Missiles
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Middle East* [image: https://pictures.reuters.com/archive/IRAN-NUCLEAR--RC11BFED01E0.html] A real threat. *Key Point:* Tehran has many missiles it could use to hit U.S. forces or bases. Like the rest of the Iranian Armed Forces, the Iranian Air Force was crippled by postrevolution purges. Although numerically and technologically superior to the Iraqi Air Force, Iran was unable to achieve air superiority and unable to accurately strike targets deep within Iraq. In response, Iran purchased a number of Soviet R-17 (“Scud B”) short-range ballistic missil... more »
Russia Thinks America's F-15EX Fighter Is a Joke
*David Axe* *Security, Europe* [image: https://www.boeing.com/resources/boeingdotcom/defense/f-15_strike_eagle/images/Picture10-lg-960.jpg] Why? *Key point:* The F-15EX isn't very stealthy and Moscow knows it. The debate continues over the Pentagon’s proposal to buy new F-15EX Eagle fighters from Boeing to complement Lockheed Martin-made F-35 stealth fighters. As lawmakers weigh the military’s request, *Air Force *magazine *has published* an infographic comparing the two fighters. Both fighters cost roughly $80 million apiece, according to *Air Force*. But the similarity ends ... more »
Trump's Real Time, Slow Motion Self-Destruction Was Always Inevitable, Wasn't It?
*Underwater by Nancy Ohanian* Aaron Zitner reported on yet another poll-- this one always a lagging indicator with a very conservative bias, and done over the weekend for the *Wall Street Journal* and NBC News-- shows that a majority of Americans back the impeachment probe. What normal Americans are undying around is that is that "Trump's actions regarding Ukraine are a serious matter and merit an impeachment inquiry by Congress." Most want to wait and see before backing removal from office. "Presented in a separate question with just two options-- impeaching Mr. Trump and removing ... more »

Not so much a flypast as a blowdown
It seems an Indonesian Mil Mi-35 gunship (an export version of the Mil Mi-24) recently made an unexpected and very low flypast during rehearsals for a military parade in the Natuna Regency, in the Riau Islands. That proved to be not a good idea . . . I hope they had backup copies of those billboard posters. I suspect the originals were probably damaged beyond repair. Peter

A new expensive arms race in space?
Video by the Union of Concerned Scientists Politicians have called for "space-based missile defense" for years. Unfortunately, it's not a very good idea. This video shows how a system using space interceptors would work. It demonstrates why such a system is necessarily expensive and vulnerable--and why, as a defensive shield, it's not particularly useful (and even dangerous). And ultimately these systems are highly provocative and will unleash a new arms race in space - something the aerospace industry desperately wants. The warmongers intend to pay for this new arms race by def... more »

Abortion Remains an Unresolved Issue: ICPD25 Meeting next Month
