*Kris Osborn* *6th Generation Stealth Fighter, * A massive and still largely unknown technology breakthrough may be upon us, by virtue of the apparent Air Force decision to not only fast-track a new 6th-Gen fighter platform but actually fly it. A massive and still largely unknown technology breakthrough may be upon us, by virtue of the apparent Air Force decision to not only fast-track a new 6th-Gen fighter platform but actually fly it.

Caleb Larson, The National Interest - 14 hours ago
*Caleb Larson* *Lasers, Americas* The program may have ultimately failed, but laser research continues. *Here's What You Need to Know*: The Air Force wanted lasers to shoot down ICBMs. Missile defense is really hard. It has been compared to hitting a bullet with another bullet, and is inherently unreliable. According to Scientific American, the U.S. Ground-based Midcourse Defense ”remains the sole system designed to counter intercontinental ballistic missiles. Its 44 silo-based interceptors in Alaska and California are designed to be guided by space, ground and sea-based sensors...
Imperial Japan's Crazy Idea to Bomb the U.S. Mainland (Using Balloons)
Caleb Larson, The National Interest - 14 hours ago
*Caleb Larson* *World War II, Americas* One woman and five of her children were killed in Oregon after finding a balloon that had likely lain on the ground for weeks. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Tokyo tried to find new weapons as it grew more desperate. Sitting on the far eastern rim of the Pacific, the United States mainland was virtually invulnerable to Japanese attack during the Second World War. Even long-range bombers didn’t have the necessary range to fly from mainland Japan or the many islands under Japanese control to the West Coast. Rather than increasing bomber ran...

*Damian Purcell* *Coronavirus, * mRNA vaccines are good for preventing more than just the coronavirus. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *mRNA vaccine technology has been described as disruptive and revolutionary. If we can overcome these challenges, we can potentially change how we make vaccines now and into the future.

Why the Main Battle Tank Isn’t Going Anywhere
Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 14 hours ago
*Peter Suciu* *Tanks, * After more than 100 years since the first tanks rolled into action during the Battle of the Somme in the First World War, the tank continues to evolve. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *While the MBT will remain a key component of the U.S. Army, the days of tanks in the United States Marines Corps are numbered, after it was announced that the Marines would eliminate its entire tank force within the next decade. The USMC, which is undergoing a transformation to be a more nimble force, will have closer integration with the U.S. Navy – and thus will increa...

How to Stop North Korea From Becoming a Nuclear Weapons Superpower
Doug Bandow, The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*Doug Bandow* *North Korea Nuclear Weapons, Asia* If the DPRK creates a nuclear arsenal numbering in the hundreds, then the consequences could be cataclysmic for the United States, unless Washington abandons its interventionist addiction. The Day of the Sun, North Korea’s celebration of the birth of the country’s founder, Great Leader Kim Il-sung, passed without international incident. However, the future might not be so pacific. The latest report from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) warned that North Korea will remain a potential nuclear threat, given...

Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*Peter Suciu* *military, Asia* Chinese submarines pose a serious threat and should not be underestimated. *Here's What You Need to Know*: The Type 093A *Shang-II* isn’t the world’s best attack submarine, but it should highlight the fact that Beijing continues to make progress on all fronts. Just as China’s PLAN is becoming a force to be reckoned with in terms of carriers, so too could it be a serious submarine force. The People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) is now the largest naval force in the world, and a lot of attention has been paid to its two aircraft carriers, while a thi...
Payback: How the Royal Navy Hunted Down Hitler’s U-Boats
Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*Warfare History Network* *, Europe* United States antisubmarine aircraft played an unsung but vital role in this campaign. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *This triumph came with a heavy cost. During their time in England, USAAF antisubmarine squadrons lost 12 planes and 102 men due to enemy action, accidents, or causes unknown. Navy patrol bomber losses over the bay amounted to 16 aircraft and 157 crewmen. In return, American sub hunters received credit for sinking 13 U-boats from February 1943 to the end of Biscayan operations 18 months later. *“Am over enemy submarine in ...
Sniper: How These Soldiers Transform Any Battlefield
Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*Peter Suciu* *military, Europe* Snipers have always been controversial, and have grown in ferocity over time. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *By World War II the technology of the weapons—and more importantly the telescopic sights—had developed considerably, and nearly every combatant power saw the need for those snipers who could kill from a distance. They are the subject of movies, feared by the enemy in wartime, declared national heroes by some and just generally hated by Michael Moore. They are the military men and women who became snipers. While perhaps not as famou...

Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*Peter Suciu* *military, Europe* The Iskander-M tactical missile system was designed to strike adversary low-sized and site targets to a range of up to 500 kilometers. *Here's What You Need to Remember:* In addition to Iskander missiles based on the Russian mainland, the platform has been deployed to the semi-exclave Kaliningrad, where the missiles continue to threaten parts of Poland, Sweden, Germany, Belarus, Ukraine, Lithuania, and Latvia. The mobile missile carriers, which have long been a Russian military hallmark, also provide the opportunity to choke off parts of the Balti...
Battle of the Best: Could China’s J-10 Take Down the F-35 Fighter?
Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*Peter Suciu* *F-35, Asia* It is likely Beijing stole much of the data to make the J-31 from the United States, but that doesn't mean this copy can actually compete with the F-35. *Here's What You Need to Know*: It is also likely too early to tell if the J-31 can actually go toe-to-toe with the American and allied F-35s and it has been reported that the Chinese fighter has received largely negative reviews when it has been seen at air shows. There is the old saying that "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" – and whether that is true or not, in the world of military hard...
