How Laser Weapons Could Forever Change Air Combat
Sebastien Roblin, The National Interest - 15 minutes ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *Lasers, * Laser weapons are growing rapidly in prominence, from small-arms and tank-mounted laser dazzlers used by China, to ground or helicopter-mounted anti-drone and missile lasers tested by the Army, and close defense systems on U.S. Navy ships. *Here's What You Need To Remember:* The United States is not in planning for integration of aerial lasers in the 2020s and 2030s. The Franco-German FCAS and British Tempest stealth fighter programs, and the Russian MiG-41 interceptor have explicitly claimed in their program materials the conceptual aircraft will b...

Charlie Gao, The National Interest - 15 minutes ago
*Charlie Gao* *Ammunition, Americas* It could reduce the weight a soldier carries into battle. But is that enough? *Here's What You Need to Know*: The primary selling point for CTA is a 41 percent weight reduction and 12 percent volume reduction. Recently, much attention has been focused on the state of the U.S. military’s arsenal of small arms. After the announcement and subsequent cancellation of the U.S. Army’s 7.62 Interim Combat Service Rifle project, many were left wondering what the U.S. Army’s actual plan was for a future service rifle.

Could Poland's Tanks Halt a Russian Invasion?
Charlie Gao, The National Interest - 15 minutes ago

Poland’s tank fleet is one of the most numerous in Europe, fueled by the country’s large (for Europe) military spending and based on the tank fleet inherited from the Polish People’s Army. It consists of a mix of plain T-72M1s, domestic T-72 variants and various versions of the Leopard 2.

M-91 Vihor: The Super Tank You Never Heard Of (Not From USA)

*Charlie Gao* *Tanks, Europe* Its interesting design is a legacy of Yugoslavia's attempt to balance NATO and the Warsaw Pact. *Here's What You Need to Know*: The Vihor never entered mass production. One of the strongest industries of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY) was its defense industry. During the Cold War, the SFRY flirted with both the West and the East, procuring and developing indigenous weapons based on technology from both sides. Perhaps one of the more interesting success stories was the success of the SFRY’s armor industry and its ultimate product...

*Charlie Gao* *Su-57, Eurasia* The age of stealth warfare has truly arrived. *Here's What You Need to Know*: The purchase is nothing to scoff at. In July 2019, Russia announced a major purchase of its fifth-generation stealth air superiority fighter, the Su-57. As the order is only for seventy-six aircraft by 2028, some are skeptical of whether this is true “mass production” for the Su-57, given the constant delays and revisions in the program. Recent Western competitors to the Su-57 like the F-35 have been produced in the hundreds. But a look at contemporary Russian aircraft pr...

THE WORST PEOPLE
Steve M., No More Mister Nice Blog - 4 hours ago
This development in Gaetz-ghazi is just too perfect: Joel Greenberg, the former Seminole County Tax Collector at the center of a sprawling criminal probe into everything from stalking to wire fraud to sex trafficking, used taxpayer money to pay $7,500 in legal fees to state Rep. Anthony Sabatini, records show. While still serving as tax collector, Greenberg gave Sabatini a $3,000-a-month “legal counsel” contract in September 2019 — five days after Sabatini was admitted to the Florida Bar. Greenberg canceled the contract a little more than two months later, citing “extreme budget co...

"So that’s another problem with Rand’s philosophy."
Peter Cresswell, Not PC - 5 hours ago
*"When philosophers or intellectuals claim that we cannot know reality because our sensory apparatuses distort the data before it reaches consciousness, they may sound profound or impressive. . . "But, then, along comes Ayn Rand, who points out that such claims amount to the view that 'man is blind, because he has eyes—deaf, because he has ears—deluded, because he has a mind—and the things he perceives do not exist, because he perceives them.' "As you might imagine, such straightforward clarifications, which abound in Rand’s works, can make skeptics feel as ignorant as t...

War on Cash: The Next Phase
AdminM, Medical Kidnap - 5 hours ago
With so much news about an economic reopening, a border crisis, massive government spending and exploding deficits, it’s easy to overlook the ongoing war on cash. That’s a mistake because it has serious implications not only for your money, but for your privacy and personal freedom, as you’ll see today. Cash prevents central banks from imposing negative interest rates because if they did, people would withdraw their cash from the banking system. If they stuff their cash in a mattress, they don’t earn anything on it; that’s true. But at least they’re not losing anything on it. Onc...
