The F-5E "Tiger" Jet: Sleek, Fast, and Budget Friendly
Charlie Gao, The National Interest - 29 minutes ago
*Charlie Gao* *Security, * If you're a developing country without a monstrous military budget, the F-35 isn't for you. The F-5, a sleek, fast, and affordable upgraded third-generation fighter, might be. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The program began in the 2000s when a contract was awarded to the Brazilian firm Embraer to modernize forty-six F-5Es with European and Israeli technology. The F-5E “Tiger” is one of U.S. aerospace industry’s largest export successes. Designed as a budget lightweight fighter, the F-5E is still operated by many nations around the world despite t...
Russia's S-300 Provided Capable Air Defense, but the S-400 System is World-Class
Charlie Gao, The National Interest - 29 minutes ago
*Charlie Gao* *Security, Europe* What exactly makes the S-400 such a hot ticket item in the world today? How did it evolve from the earlier S-300? *Here's What You Need to Remember: *While the capabilities of the S-400 may appear to be a significant leap, they got there through the slow evolution of earlier S-300 missiles. The S-400 is one of the most controversial missiles in the world currently. The United States has imposed economic sanctions on countries simply for buying the system, but many of the world’s powers are interested in it, with India signing deals in September 2...
Bombcats: How the F-14 Tomcat Transformed into a Strike Aircraft
Charlie Gao, The National Interest - 29 minutes ago
*Charlie Gao* *Security, * Operations in former Yugoslavia and the Gulf showed the need for a heavy strike aircraft in the Navy's arsenal. But how effective could the F-14 be in that role? *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The Navy’s retirement of the A-6 Intruders left a small capability gap until the new F/A-18E/F Super Hornets entered service, and the F-14 could carry more bombs than the new F/A-18A/C Hornet. The F-14 Tomcat was designed to defend the U.S. Navy’s fleets from practically every airborne threat. While it packed long range AIM-54 Phoenix missiles for defense a...
It Only Gets Worse For New York In The Competition With Florida

* It was only a couple of months ago that I had a post contrasting the states of New York and Florida on many different measures of public policy and success (or failure). * The two states are roughly equal in population, yet are at opposite ends of the spectrum on major public policy issues, with New York following the high-tax, high-spend, high-regulation model, and Florida the low-tax, low-spend, low-regulation model. * It seems like every day things get worse for New York and better for Florida.
