Flamed Out: Why the Army Does Not Have Flamethrowers Anymore
Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 28 minutes ago
*Peter Suciu* *History, Americas* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2015%3Anewsml_TM3EB4T1HOV01&share=true] Such weapons were controversial and also not very effective in combat. *Key point: *Flamethrowers have been used for a very long time. However, in modern times they began to fall out of favor. The idea of using fire as a weapon likely occurred as soon as the first human settlement was attacked by a rival tribe. The problem is that fire doesn’t know friend from foe and for eons couldn’t really be controlled. The earliest known example of a “c...
You've Seen the V-22 Osprey Before, But Not Like This
Caleb Larson, The National Interest - 28 minutes ago
*Caleb Larson* *Security, Americas* [image: Wikimedia Commons] The V-22 entered service in the mid 2000s, but the journey to the V-22 platform began much earlier. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The XV-3 was one of the first aircraft to use the dual-rotor technology, useful for quick takeoffs and landings, that would later become ubiquitous with the Osprey. The V-22 Osprey is easily one of the United States Marine Corps’ most recognizable platforms. Large, fast, and capable, the V-22 combines the hover and heavy lift capabilities of a helicopter with the speed and range of a...
Taiwan Wants Drones That Can Attack and Blow Themselves Up
David Axe, The National Interest - 28 minutes ago
*David Axe* *Security, Asia* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2016%3Anewsml_S1BETVEOVZAB&share=true] These drones themselves would be the weapons and could potentially help deter China. *Key Point: *Loitering munitions are not new, but building a lot of "suicide" drones would be for Taiwan. Could these weapons really make a big different if Beijing decided to invade? A new suicide drone appeared at the August 2019 edition of the biennial Taipei Aerospace & Defense Technology Exhibition in the island country’s capital. The unmanned aerial vehicl...

Why Did Iran Buy the F-14 Tomcat from America? This Video Has the Answer.
David Axe, The National Interest - 28 minutes ago
*David Axe* *Security, * A 46-year-old video reveals the impressive aerial display that apparently helped to convince the shah Iran to buy Grumman-made F-14 Tomcat fighters from the United States back in July 1973. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Starting in the mid-1970s, Iran became the only country besides the United States to operate arguably the most powerful interceptor jet ever built.

Facebook’s “Fact Checkers” Call Danish Study on Facemasks in Annals of Internal Medicine Journal “False”
Brian-Admin, Medical Kidnap - 2 hours ago

Engine Trouble: The 1 Thing Holding Back China’s New Warplanes

*David Axe* *Security, Asia* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2015%3Anewsml_GF10000207963&share=true] Beijing has succeeded in copying and stealing their way foward, but they have hit a snag. *Key point: *China does have stealth fighters and soon stealth bombers. However, they both lack sufficiently powerful engines to do what Beijing envisions. The Chinese military is building up a meaningful force of J-20 stealth fighters, Y-20 strategic airlifters and other high-tech military aircraft while also developing a new stealth fighter, fighter-bombe...
Could the U.S. Navy Really Be Defeated in Battle?
David Axe, The National Interest - 2 hours ago
*David Axe* *Security, World* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2020%3Anewsml_RC2F0I90TY37&share=true] The Navy is still the best, but it has been losing its edge. *Key point: *Nothing is impossible and China has been slowly catching up. In fact, the Navy is becoming more alarmed and worried that it needs more ships. The U.S. Navy has concentrated too much of its combat power in big, expensive ships that are too few in number to win in battle against Chinese or Russian forces. That’s the stark warning in a report from the Washington, D.C. Center ...
Tough Boat: How the USS Intrepid Aircraft Carrier Survived World War II
Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 2 hours ago
*Peter Suciu* *History, Asia* [image: By Unknown author - U.S. Navy photo NH 97468, Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=85099] Despite many battles, Imperial Japan could not take this ship out of the fight. *Key point: *Aircraft carriers were vital to winning World War II and the loss of a flat top was a big deal. How did this particular warship serve during the many campaigns? "Intrepid" means "fearless, undaunted, adventurous," and all those words could certainly describe the World War II aircraft carrier that is now a floating museum on New York Cit...

The MiG-35 is Russian Aircraft Corporation’s (formerly known as Mikoyan and Gurevich Design Bureau) most up-to-date fourth-generation fighter that fits in the 4++ range — that is, fourth-gen aircraft that are updated with the newest in materials, engines, avionics, and some reduced radar cro...

*Ethen Kim Lieser* *Health, Americas* New York City public schools, the nation’s largest education system, made the move to 100 percent remote learning on Thursday as new coronavirus cases surged in the city. Dr. Scott Gottlieb, the former commissioner of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, has asserted that schools should be the “last thing” to shut down as more restrictions are rolled out nationwide to limit the spread of the novel coronavirus. “We should be trying to curtail whatever activities we know are sources of community spread long before we close schools,” he said ...
A Biden Presidency Means a Return to a Nonexistent Arctic Policy
Nick Solheim, The National Interest - 2 hours ago
*Nick Solheim* *Security, Americas* There is a big risk the new administration will not act to secure American interests in the Arctic and that Russia will take full advantage of that. Presumptive President-elect Joe Biden is being heralded as the savior of the foreign policy consensus in the corridors of power. “Finally, no longer will we be hampered in our efforts to sell weapons to America’s mortal enemies and send our young offspring off to war in far-flung lands,” Pentagon officials-turned Raytheon/Boeing/Lockheed Martin executives must be muttering subversively to themselve...
The True Source of Troubles Behind the Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict
Kamal Makili-Aliyev, The National Interest - 2 hours ago
*Kamal Makili-Aliyev* *Security, Eurasia* Recognizing of Nagorno-Karabakh as an independent state would be unreasonable and in clear breach of international law. With the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan in the Nagorno-Karabakh in its most active phase since 1994, the questions about the legal status of this mountainous region located in the Caucasus are being discussed in the wider media more frequently. An unfortunate feature of such discussions is the fact that legal questions are usually discussed by specialists in fields other than international law. This results in q...
How Biden Can Move Beyond Trump’s Failed Iran Strategy
Adam Lammon, The National Interest - 2 hours ago
*Adam Lammon* *Security, Middle East* U.S. sanctions were intended to wring new concessions from Iran, but, for Tehran, the juice was never worth the squeeze. How is it that President Donald Trump and the Republican Party have gotten Iran so wrong? For the past four years, the Trump administration has said that withdrawal from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and more sanctions would lead to an improved, comprehensive nuclear deal with Iran. Iran would not restart its nuclear program, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo confidently predicted in 2018. A “broad coalition o...
Russia's Su-25 is Becoming the Next A-10 Warthog
Caleb Larson, The National Interest - 2 hours ago
*Caleb Larson* *Security, Eurasia* [image: Reuters] The Su-25 design may be enjoying a bit of a renaissance. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The Su-25's design can place it firmly within the role of close air support fighter. Like the A-10 Warthog, the Su-25 makes extensive use of titanium, using the metal’s lightweight and high strength to protect the pilot. The pilot sits in a bathtub-like armored cockpit, surrounded by welded titanium plates. This armor protection is absolutely essential. Close air support airframes need to fly relatively slow and low to target ground-bas...

Performance of Duty is the Fulfillment
Unknown, The Conservative Socrates - 2 hours ago
"*Karmanyeva adhikaraste, ma phaleshu kada chana; Ma karma phala hetur bhurh, ma te sangostva akarmani*,” Krishna says to Arjuna in the famous verse 2.47 of the *Bhagavad Gita*. While a man is free to choose the actions which he will perform, he lacks the power to determine the fruits of those actions. He is the cause of his actions, but he is not the cause of the consequences of those actions. A moral man will not be paralyzed by the thoughts of the consequences of his actions; he will not be deterred from the performance of his duties. The action, or the performance of the duty,...

Why Doesn't Israel Fly the F-22 Raptor Stealth Fighter?
Caleb Larson, The National Interest - 4 hours ago
*Caleb Larson* *Security, * It's all thanks to a 1998 law called the “Obey Amendment.” *Here's What You Need to Know*: The U.S. military has long worried about enemies stealing its technological secrets. Israel gets a large amount of defense aid from the United States in the form of both cash, weapons, and weapons platforms — but why doesn’t Israel have the F-22 stealth fighter? *American Weapons in Israeli Hands* Perhaps the most prominent example of American-Israeli cooperation is the Israeli version of the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II, which Israel — and Israel alone — ...
Battledress of American Doughboy: The U.S. Army Uniform of the Great War
Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 4 hours ago
*Peter Suciu* *History, Americas* As the U.S. Army prepared to head “over there” its two-hundred-thousand-man peacetime army swelled to more than three million in a short time. After the first units arrived in France the battledress of the U.S. Army was modified slightly. Following the Spanish-American War the U.S. Army reconsidered the uniform that its soldiers would wear in the field. A number of changes were made, and in December 1911 the War Department published the new *Regulations for the Uniform of the United States Army.* When America entered the Great War (World War I...

Did China Use Microwave Weapons Against Indian Soldiers?
Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Peter Suciu* *Security, Asia* What be the strategic benefit? In what sounds like a story out of science fiction, the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) reportedly employed a powerful “microwave” earlier this month, and it wasn’t to heat up dinner for soldiers stationed in the Himalayas near the Line of Actual Control (LAC). Instead, it may have been used against Indian troops. While essentially non-lethal, the microwaves were aimed at the Indian Army to make them violently ill and force their retreat. Within fifteen minutes of the deployment of microwaves the Indian troops ...

Caleb Larson, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Caleb Larson* *Security, Middle East* What is it exactly? Neither tank nor artillery piece fits the bill. *Here's What You Need to Remember*: The M110 could fire a massive eight-inch artillery shell nearly 20 miles away. Even though it’s retired with the United States—Iran still uses it. *M110* The M110 is a bit of a zombie—neither tank nor artillery piece, but something of both. The M110 is based on the smaller M115 howitzer, a towed artillery piece that in its ultimate configuration was designed in 1939, but owed its development to a post-World War I heavy howitzer. Both th...
Could the X-59 Be the Next Concorde?
Caleb Larson, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Caleb Larson* *Aviation, Americas* [image: Wikimedia Commons] NASA is back in the supersonic passenger jet game. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The biggest problem with supersonic travel is the noise. A "sonic boom" is really loud - loud enough to smash windows underneath it. This makes most commercial flights difficult. The X-59's "sonic thump" technology goes a long way towards rectifying this problem. Commercial travel at supersonic speeds has been something of a wild goose chase. There are a number of technically challenging engineering obstacles that have to be overc...
