Heavily armed Taliban members wait by a checkpoint *BBC:* *Afghanistan: 'We have won the war, America has lost', say Taliban* Driving to Taliban-controlled territory doesn't take long. Around 30 minutes from the northern city of Mazar-e-Sharif, passing large craters left by roadside bombs, we meet our host: Haji Hekmat, the Taliban's shadow mayor in Balkh district.

The Pentagon Was Overruled By The White House On Staying In Afghanistan
War News Updates Editor, War News Updates - 20 minutes ago
*Politico:** How Biden’s team overrode the brass on Afghanistan* After two decades, troops have an end date on America's longest war. But it took a White House ready to pull rank on the military. The military spent more than a decade urging three different American presidents to stay in Afghanistan. With President Joe Biden’s decision this week to withdraw all U.S. forces by Sept. 11, they finally lost the battle. “We cannot continue this cycle of extending or expanding our military presence in Afghanistan, hoping to create ideal conditions for the withdrawal and expecting a ...
Soviet Russia's T-34 Tank: The Story of a Rugged WWII Armored Vehicle
Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 43 minutes ago
*Warfare History Network* *T-34 Tank, Europe* The Soviet T-34 tank played a crucial role in defense and later spearheaded the drive toward Berlin in the final months of World War II. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Over 64,000 T-34s were built during the war. December 1941 was a dark month and the end of a dark year for the Soviets as the Germans pressed ever onward toward Moscow, the lair where Joseph Stalin and his minions plotted what to do next against the Nazi juggernaut that had, in a few short months, rolled over everything before them. Poland had been taken, and then Denm...
Problem: America Has Too Few Fighter Jets for Its Pacific Plans
Michael Peck, The National Interest - 43 minutes ago
*Michael Peck* *U.S. Air Force, * America's airpower is being overworked and under-maintained. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *For its part, the Navy has been shuffling aircraft to keep deployed squadrons up to strength, leaving non-deployed units with insufficient planes for training. Like a trucking company with too few trucks and too many deliveries, America's airpower is being overworked and under-maintained. Two studies from last year by RAND Corp. and the Government Accountability Office paint a grim picture of U.S. airpower. The RAND study examined whether the U.S Air...

Junkers Ju-87 Stuka: What Made the Luftwaffe Vulture So Fearsome?
Warfare History Network, Michael D. Hull, The National Interest - 3 hours ago
*Warfare History Network, Michael D. Hull* *Ju-87 Stuka, Europe* The Ju-87 Stuka terrorized civilian populations in the early days of the Nazi blitzkrieg during World War II. *Here's What You Need to Know*: The Stuka served in every theater of World War II where the German war machine was deployed. One of the deadliest and most effective airplanes of the Axis powers, the Junkers Ju-87 Stuka, owed its origin to a fearless World War I ace and, ironically, to innovative American aviation visionaries in the peaceful early 1930s.

Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 3 hours ago
*Peter Suciu* *F-35C, * This specialized F-35 variant was made just for the U.S. Navy and it's now carrier-capable. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The F-35C was developed to be the U.S. Navy's first low-observable carrier-based aviation platform, and it is replacing the Navy's F/A-18C/D Hornets as the carrier strike group's (CSG's) primary offensive fighter. The multirole F-35C can also be employed for close air support, ground-attack missions, and aerial defense of the CSGs.

*Michael Peck* *6th Generation Fighter, Americas* But penetration and survivability are more than matters of fighters and flak. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *That means American planes will be operating from more distant bases, and the greater distances mean fewer sorties.

Amazon is one of the world’s most powerful corporations, and organizing is notoriously difficult under U.S. labor law.
