Shoot to Kill: The AK-47 Was Designed With One Goal in Mind
Charlie Gao, The National Interest - 38 minutes ago
*Charlie Gao* *Security, Eurasia* Soviet weapons have a reputation for being reliable, but crude and inaccurate. However, there is often extensive scientific testing behind these weapons. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *In a bounding overwatch situation, firing short bursts after a quick halt with the average soldier, the AK-74 required two bursts or six rounds to hit a standing target at one hundred meters, and five bursts or fifteen rounds to hit that same target at two hundred meters. With the AKM, eleven rounds are required at one hundred meters, and thirty-three are req...
Colt’s Century-Old M1911 Gun Design Has Stood the Test of Time
Caleb Larson, The National Interest - 38 minutes ago
*Caleb Larson* *Security, Americas* The pistol remains incredibly robust. *Here's What You Need to Know*: The Colt M1911 is able to withstand a great amount of abuse and remains reliable, even after decades of serves and ten of thousands of rounds.

The F-111 Aardvark Had One Big Advantage Over the F-15 Eagle
Charlie Gao, The National Interest - 38 minutes ago
*Charlie Gao* *Security, Security* Did the United States truly lose any capability by retiring the F-111? *Here's What You Need to Remember: *While shorter ranged aircraft are far cheaper to maintain and use, the F-111 struck a weird medium between the tactical strike aircraft and the strategic bomber. That medium allowed it to serve admirably during the Cold War, and the design should not be discounted as a weird compromise. The F-111 Aardvark was the U.S. Air Force’s premier strike aircraft for the majority of the Cold War. It served in practically every conflict from Vietnam ...

Brian-Admin, Health Impact News - 3 hours ago
According to what we hear from officials and the mainstream media, the new variants are the most dangerous and unpredictable beings since Osama bin Laden.

World War II: Why Japan's Dream of a Super-Battleship Failed
Robert Farley, The National Interest - 3 hours ago
*Robert Farley* *History, Asia* The ship's construction would have bankrupted Tokyo. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Warships are (imperfect) reflections of existing economic realities. In January 1936 Japan announced its intention to withdraw from the London Naval Treaty, accusing both the United States and the United Kingdom of negotiating in bad faith. The Japanese sought formal equality in naval construction limits, something that the Western powers would not give. In the wake of this withdrawal, Japanese battleship architects threw themselves into the design of new vessels....

The Shaky Science Behind the “Deadly New Strains” of Sars-Cov-2
AdminM, Medical Kidnap - 3 hours ago
According to what we hear from officials and the mainstream media, the new variants are the most dangerous and unpredictable beings since Osama bin Laden. Everyone needs to stay safe from these invisible but murderously mighty microbes by shunning contact with the unwashed, unmasked and unvaccinated. But is that drastic approach — which is accompanied by severe curtailment of civil liberties and constitutional rights — warranted? It turns out that the case for the variants’ contagiousness and dangerousness centres largely on the theoretical effects of just one change said to stem f...

The Greater Danger of Israeli Provocations in Syria
Land Destroyer, Land Destroyer - 4 hours ago
*February 19, 2021* (Brian Berletic - NEO) - Continued airstrikes carried out by Israeli warplanes in Syria presents - at face value - an obvious and persistent threat to Syria. In a wider context, the threat runs much deeper and extends to Syria's allies in Tehran. Israel has been an eager participant in the US-led proxy war on Syria beginning in 2011. It has provided safe-haven and support for Western-backed militants along and within its borders. It has also at various junctures carried out airstrikes in Syria in a bid to impede Damascus' ability to reestablish peace and stabi...

Keir Starmer's economy speech then. It's fair to say it wasn't overwhelming, and few but the usual loyalists gave it a buoyant reception. The left, as you might have guessed, weren't full of praise. But neither were the centrist hacks. On this James Ball offered an infrequent insight, noting Dear Keir was acting as if he was in government not opposition, and this is fatal. A rare confluence of opinion between him and the left he affects to despise. I'm not going to go through all the criticisms as they're ten-a-penny on Twitter. There are three aspects worth noting.
