“If the sun is shining, stand in it – yes, yes, yes. Happy times are great, but happy times pass – they have to – because time passes. The pursuit of happiness is more elusive; it is life-long, and it is not goal-centered.

Kris Osborn, The National Interest - 13 hours ago
*Kris Osborn* *Stinger Missile, Americas* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2019%3Anewsml_RC2APD9ZJZ3A&share=true] Combining both powerful Javelin and Stinger systems is creating a potent anti-drone defense. A recent feat shows how networking threat-detecting radar technologies can help win on the battlefield. Army ground gunners recently destroyed a drone target with a Stinger missile fired from a new Raytheon-built sensor-targeting unit. One of the impressive things is that the sensor-targeting unit was initially designed for the Javelin anti-ta...

RANKED: The U.S. Navy’s Four Deadliest Weapons Ever
Caleb Larson, The National Interest - 13 hours ago
*Caleb Larson* *U.S. Navy Top Weapons, Americas* These four platforms are part of what makes the United States Navy the world’s most advanced and dangerous. High-tech and high-powered are two phrases that come to mind when thinking about the world’s premier navy. America’s navy is full of advanced warships and airplanes as well as impressive firearms. Here is how the service packs its mighty punch. *MK23* One of Navy SEAL’s deadliest handguns is German: the Heckler & Koch MK23. Though no longer in widespread use within the United States Navy, the MK23 is impressive. Rather than...
In 1942, the Soviets Built and Flew a ‘Flying Tank’ (Really)
Caleb Larson, The National Interest - 13 hours ago
*Caleb Larson* *Flying Tank, Europe* On the A-40’s one and only trip, the mothership had to ditch the glider, as the tank produced a large amount of drag, which caused the mothership’s engines to overheat. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Despite the early success, the A-40 only made one flight, possibly because a more powerful mothership could not be found. Probably not so terrible considering how lightly armed and armored the A-40 was. Getting men and arms onto battlefields is a problem as old as warfare itself. In 1942, Soviet engineers tried to tackle this problem—by maki...

COVID And Inequality
Owen Gray, Northern Reflections - 15 hours ago
The pandemic has exposed glaring inequalities in Canadian society. Susan Delacourt writes: For the past year, Canadians have been forced to rein in a lot of their rights — their liberty, their freedom to assemble, to name just two. But equality, or the lack of it, has continued to elbow its way into the existential conversations taking place in a year of pandemic living. Canada may not be a more equal nation when the pandemic is over, but we’ll know a lot more about where inequality exists. Whether we do anything about it lies at the heart of all those promises to “build back bett...
Crazy Looking: Why the Navy’s First VTOL Aircraft XFY Pogo Never Flow
Caleb Larson, The National Interest - 14 hours ago
*Caleb Larson* *Pogo Plane, Americas* The XFY Pogo was a very odd bird. It had a four-finned tail assembly with small caster wheels attached to the back, allowing the Pogo to land and move on its tail. Though it was a turboprop, the Pogo used an unusual contra-rotating three-bladed propeller that was over 16 feet in diameter. This design gave the Pogo the enormous amounts of thrust it required to hover off the ground and into the air *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Though the Pogo could take off and land in the vertical position (a neat video of which can be seen here), it di...
