The Final Battle: Take a Look Inside America’s 1956 Nuclear War Plan
Robert Beckhusen, The National Interest - 23 hours ago

Yet, despite what we now know, Washington still will not say how many nuclear bombs it had planned to use.

Ship Service: How the Navy Was Built on a Flotilla Gunboats
Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 23 hours ago
*Warfare History Network* *History, Americas* To serve as crewmembers on these early gunboats as well as on some of the newer models, the Department of the Navy ordered some five hundred seamen from eastern seaports to serve along the western waterways. *Here’s What You Need to Remember:* In theory, sealing off Southern seaports was supposed to cause economic ruin in the South, which in turn would diminish the Confederacy’s ability to wage war.

*Kyle Mizokami* *Iran, Middle East* Iran is primarily a land power, and has invaded and suffered invasion from other peoples and countries over the past several thousand years. *Here's What You Need to Remember:* Much like China’s army in the 1980s, the Iranian Army and other ground forces are large but poorly armed. Iran’s sheer size, both in geography and population, are a deterrent to invasion. One of the most powerful and influential countries in the Middle East is undoubtedly Iran.

Why China Is Trying to Learn From the Old Soviet Navy
Lyle J. Goldstein, The National Interest - 1 day ago
*Lyle J. Goldstein* *Chinese Navy, Asia* [image: Chinese Navy] Moscow and Beijing was once again developing close ties and China is trying to learn from the Soviet’s successes and mistakes. *Key point: *Beijing wants to build a first-class navy and is well on its way towards doing so. Here is how it is studying the Soviet navy and seeing what lessons it can glean. Russia is back in vogue among Chinese strategists, at least for now. Undoubtedly, this excitement is partly the result of recent geopolitical developments in Eastern Europe, but the trend was also evident before the U...
Why Stalin’s Dreamed Russian Battleship Fleet Is Dead in the Water
Kyle Mizokami, The National Interest - 1 day ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Russian Navy, * By mid-1945 it was clear to Stalin that with Germany gone, his most powerful rivals—the United States and United Kingdom—lay across the water and out of his armies’ reach. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The rumors were advantageous to Moscow—if the NATO countries believed a fleet of super-battleships were on the way they would have to figure out a means to beat them, siphoning resources away from the ground forces that protected Western Europe. At the end of the Second World War, Soviet dictator Josef Stalin stood undisputed as the most powe...
Does Japan Have Any Chance Against China’s J-10 ‘Vigorous Dragon’?
Kyle Mizokami, The National Interest - 1 day ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *J-10 Fighter, Asia* The rivalry between Japan and China over islands in the East China Sea has triggered close encounters between the two sides in the air. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Japan’s F-2 would have the advantage in long-range fights, being able to launch AAM-4B missiles from beyond visual range and then “turn and burn” in retreat. Thanks to their data links, F-2 units will be able to coordinate these long-range launches for maximum effect.

*Emily Przyborowski* *ISIS, Middle East* The female cadres of ISIS are now poised to expand as a result of a new generation of extremists now being incubated in Syria’s assorted refugees camps. Less than two years after the destruction of its proto-state in Iraq and Syria, the world’s most notorious terrorist group is showing new—and alarming—signs of resurgence in the Middle East. Last year, the Islamic State (ISIS) dramatically increased its attacks in Iraq and Syria, demonstrating that it still can retake territory and recruit new members.

F-111 Aardvark: This Was the Air Force's Premier Strike Aircraft
Charlie Gao, The National Interest - 1 day ago
*Charlie Gao* *F-111, * F-111 struck a weird medium between the tactical strike aircraft and the strategic bomber. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The F-111 first was tested in combat in Vietnam during 1968, but issues with the design delayed its full fielding until Operation Linebacker. It would go on to become one of the most survivable bombers of the war due to its ability to penetrate at a low level, with only a 0.015 loss rate. The F-111 Aardvark was the U.S. Air Force’s premier strike aircraft for the majority of the Cold War. It served in practically every conflict fr...

*Kyle Mizokami* *North Korea, Asia* North Korea has likely the largest special-forces organization in the world. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *North Korean special forces have evolved from a nuisance force designed to stage attacks in the enemy’s rear into something far more dangerous.
