*Kris Osborn* *Submarines, * How to subs communicate with the rest of the fleet and overall military. While not an easy challenge to solve, the U.S. Navy has a few ideas. Sub-hunting spy planes armed with torpedoes, maritime drones armed with missiles, high-resolution, surface scanning cameras, and fast-moving surface ships dragging sonar sensors while conducting surface reconnaissance are all fast-growing threats to U.S. Navy submarines. Part of the challenge is finding ways to minimize Navy submarine vulnerability to enemy detection and attack by simply remaining at safer dep...
U.S. Marines and Flamethrowers: Do we Need to Say Anything Else?
Sebastien Roblin, The National Interest - 14 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *History, Americas* Following two decades of experimentation, Marine Corps tank units had their moment of truth at the Battle of Tarawa in November 1943. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Despite the heavy losses suffered by Marine tanks units, it was clear they had spared the lives of thousands of Marine riflemen, making them “the most effective supporting weapon” according to the commander of the 9th Marine Division. After nearly eighty years of continuous service, in March 2020 the Marine Corps announced it planned to retire its three remaining tank battal...

So I'm reading the latest Ron DeSantis puff piece, this one in *The New York Times* ... Now, with Florida defying many of the gloomy projections of early 2020 and feeling closer to normal as the pandemic continues to dictate daily life in many other big states, Mr. DeSantis, 42, has positioned himself as the head of “the free state of Florida” and as a political heir to former President Donald J. Trump.... Mr. DeSantis’s political maneuvering and extensive national donor network have allowed him to emerge as a top Republican candidate to succeed Mr. Trump on the ballot in 2024 if ...

Iran Might Have a Secret: Do They Hate Russian Tanks?
Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 14 hours ago
*Peter Suciu* *Tanks, * Tehran's domestically built Karrar Tank is bad news for Russian arms sales. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The Karrar is essentially a clone of the Russian-designed T-90S MBT and is reportedly far more advanced than the Zulfiqar, the MBT that was named after the sword of the first religious, spiritual and political Shia leader, Hazrat Ali. It was first conceived by Iranian Army Brigadier General Mir-Younes Masoumazadeh and based on the American M48 and M60 and Soviet T-72 tanks.

Joe Biden's Defense Budget Is Great...for Russia and China
John Rossomando, The National Interest - 14 hours ago
*John Rossomando* *Defense Budget, * Obama-era defense cuts crippled America’s ability to keep up with our adversaries. Further cuts will only further erode the U.S. military’s ability to deter increasing threats from China and Russia. President Joe Biden’s 2022 likely budget proposal threatens to cut or flatline the defensive budget at a time when Beijing is ramping up military spending and production, Sen. Jim Inhofe warns. Biden appears to be backing his party’s line. The spending request seeks trillions for the domestic priorities of the Democratic Party’s constituencies but...

Star Trek Is Calling: Why Are There Rumors of an Air Force Cloaking Device?
Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*Peter Suciu* *U.S. Air Force, Americas* [image: U.S. Air Force] Rumors are often ill-founded, especially when they start to mention alleged alien technology. *Key point: *The Klingons may have had their Bird of Preys and the Romulans their Warbirds, but such technology does not yet exist. So no, you won't see a B1-B bomber suddenly dissappear from sight. Although the point of a “cloaking device”*—*a hypothetical technology common to science fiction*—*is to make something invisible to the naked eye, even in movies and TV the technology isn’t exactly perfect.

The B83 ‘Dumb Bomb’ Doesn’t Need Brains to Destroy Entire Cities

*Caleb Larson* *Nuclear Weapons, * At nearly one and a half tons, the B83 is the largest nuclear bomb that the United States currently keeps. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *In any case, the end of the line may be approaching for the B83. Its smaller and less-powerful little sibling, the B61 was recently upgraded. Though costly, the upgrades will keep the B61 in service for at least another twenty years.
