F-35 Stealth Fighter vs. F-15EX: Why the F-35 Has One Big Advantage
Kris Osborn, The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*Kris Osborn* *F-35 vs. F-15EX, * The F-35 JSF is built to take on great power competitors like Russia or China who operate advanced air defense systems. The F-15EX, despite all the hype, can't say that. The most advanced and rapidly emerging Russian and Chinese-built air defenses are now much more likely to operate with an ability to detect even stealth aircraft to some degree, an emerging reality that continues to present something of a predicament for U.S. weapons developers seeking to preserve air supremacy against major power rivals. Russian media claims that its upgraded ...

This Fighter Jet Was Built for War with Russia (Not Made in USA)

*Peter Suciu* *S37 Viggen, * [image: S37 Viggen] At the end of the 1960s, Sweden began to develop a new multirole fighter that was designed from the outset to be "battlefield friendly."

To help facilitate the policy, Stockholm also adhered to a strict policy of indigenous design, development, and production of its frontline military equipment – notably aircraft.

The U.S. Military Is Drooling Over the SIG Sauer MG 338 Machine Gun
Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*Peter Suciu* *SIG Sauer MG 338, * It could seem that the M240s days are just as limited as the M4 and M249 and that the MG 338 could fill the role for general purpose or platoon-level machine gun across both the Army and Marines. Effective at ranges out to 2,000 meters, the SIG Sauer MG 338 machine gun has a greater range than the M240 platoon-level machine gun. It has a rate of fire of 600 pounds and is chambered in the hard-hitting .338 Norma Magnum (8.6x63mm) round, and yet it weighs in at just around 21 pounds. It is easy to see why a year ago the U.S. Special Operation Comm...
Ready, Aim...: The Longest Serving Guns in the U.S. Military
The National Interest - 16 hours ago
*U.S. Military Guns, * Arguably the best bolt action rifle ever employed by the U.S. military, the M1903 Springfield isn't used today but it was in service for 60 years. A respectable run for any firearm. The United States military is currently seeking to replace its M4 Carbine and M249 squad assault weapon (SAW), while the M240 could also soon be replaced by a more modern platform. And while the M240's replacement could even fill the role employed by the M2 .50 caliber, it isn't likely the "Ma Deuce" will be retired anytime soon.

*Kris Osborn* *China, * It could destroy America’s aerial tankers and more. *Here's What You Need to Remember:* Many Navy and Air Force war planners are exploring the idea of using F-22s to defend surface assets such as carriers, and Bronk’s point is strongly reinforced by the existence of the Navy’s emerging MQ-25 Stingray carrier launched re-fueler.
