A South Korea F-15 vs. Kim Jong-un's Fortified Bunker: Who Wins?
Sebastien Roblin, The National Interest - 14 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *military, Asia* The South Korean air force has impressive weapons, but they could only mitigate the effects of a full-blown war. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The F-15K is the only Korean fighter capable of hauling the deadly 3,000-pound Taurus missile. In late 2017, the Republic of Korea Air Force (ROKAF) test-fired a Taurus cruise missile in response to a North Korean ballistic missile test. In this video, you can see as an F-15K launch the boxy weapon, which plunges straight through the roof of a practice target, penetrating into the ground below bef...
For Each Loss the F-35 Stealth Fighter Can Kill 20 Enemy Fighters
Mark Episkopos, The National Interest - 14 hours ago
*Mark Episkopos* *F-35, Americas* [image: F-35] The F-35 fighter is one of the best aircraft in the world and it apparently has an astounding kill-to-loss ratio. *Key point: *War games are an important way to test out a new warplane against possible enemies. How has the F-35 jet fared in these trials? Lockheed Martin’s F-35 Lightning II stealth jet fighter is no stranger to recurrent, if not always convincing, media skepticism. The F-35’s detractors have long questioned its capabilities and reliability, but the fifth-generation fighter’s stellar performance record in a series of...

Russia's Newest Attack Nuclear Submarine Has Been Accepted By Its Navy
War News Updates Editor, War News Updates - 15 hours ago
*Warzone/The Drive:* *Russia Just Accepted Its New Super-Quiet, Cruise Missile-Packed Submarine Into Service* It’s been a long wait, but the new Yasen-M subclass should help revitalize the Russian Navy’s nuclear-powered submarine force. More than seven years after its last nuclear-powered cruise missile submarine, or SSGN, entered service, the Russian Navy has commissioned its next such vessel, the Kazan, the lead ship of a new subclass. The event marks an important advance in the overhaul of Russia’s mainly Cold War-era nuclear submarine fleet, which had previously introduced ...

Loved That Stimulus Check? Bad News: It Could Delay Your Tax Refund.
Eli Fuhrman, The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*Eli Fuhrman* *Tax Refund, * [image: Tax Refund 2020] The IRS is overloaded and understaffed. And that means your 2020 refund could be a little late. The IRS is facing a major backlog of unprocessed tax returns as it struggles to manage a number of demanding tasks. In addition to processing recently filed 2020 tax returns, the IRS also finds itself faced with unprocessed 2019 tax returns and the added mission of distributing the third-round of direct federal stimulus payments. The result has been a delay for many people in receiving their 2020 tax refunds. This year’s tax seaso...
Israel Just Bought Three More F-35 Stealth Fighters
Seth J. Frantzman, The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*Seth J. Frantzman* *F-35, Middle East* The acquisition of F-35s by Israel is a message to the country's enemies, including Iran, of its ability to deal serious blows to any threat. Israel received three more of the advanced F-35 warplane in late April. The planes arrived at the country’s Nevatim Air Base. This means Israel now has twenty-seven of the fifth-generation aircraft, in two squadrons. Israel will take delivery of fifty of the planes by 2024 and will likely acquire more, up to seventy-five. The plane has been immensely important for Israel, representing a leap forward ...
Afghans Prepare For An All-Out Civil War As U.S. Forces Leave
War News Updates Editor, War News Updates - 15 hours ago
*CBS News: **As U.S. leaves, fear of civil war leads Afghans to plan "organized resistance against the Taliban"* Kabul — The beginning of the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan on May 1 triggered a huge surge in Taliban attacks across the country. CBS News correspondent Charlie D'Agata reports that the Burka district in Baghlan Province, north of Kabul, was seized by the Taliban just days ago — the latest ground to fall into the insurgents' hands. Afghan forces were seen retreating to safer fighting positions around Burka this week, and the government said commandos ...
Ruger American Pistol Competition: Is it the Best 3 Gun Competition Pistol?
Richard Douglas, The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*Richard Douglas* *Guns, * There’s no doubt, the American Pistol Competition 9mm is another very reliable pistol from Ruger. The best shooters in three gun competitions use 9mm semi-autos and Ruger’s competition model of the popular Ruger American Pistol is proving to be one of the best pistols for competitions. I recently had the opportunity to test the Ruger American on the competition course myself, and it was easy to see why this 9mm luger has earned its remarkable reputation. Most of my personally owned pistols are intended to be used for self-defense or concealed carry. T...
$10,200 'Stimulus Checks' Coming? Yes, If You Meet One Requirement.
Stephen Silver, The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*Stephen Silver* *Stimulus Payment, * [image: Tax Credit Stimulus Check] The American Rescue Plan that passed in March not only enabled $1,400 stimulus checks, an expanded child tax credit, and numerous other benefits. It also put into place tax refunds on up to $10,200 of unemployment compensation. Per CNBC, those refunds will begin rolling out in May, with payments continuing into the summer.

Over 2 Million Americans Want Another Stimulus Check
Trevor Filseth, The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*Trevor Filseth* *Stimulus Check Demand, * Many in Washington will not hear this message. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The petition’s stated goal of a $2000 monthly check is picking up steam, especially on the progressive left. Representative Ilhan Omar (D-MN) has stated her support for such a measure, as has Vice President Kamala Harris. As the final $1400 checks from the third stimulus package reach their destinations, the push for a fourth check has been stalled in Congress. Republicans have opposed the measures, arguing that they do not actually “stimulate” the econom...
In 1999, U.S. Stealth Fighters Had a Rude Awakening Over Kosovo
Sebastien Roblin, The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *Stealth Fighters, Europe* How had a dated Serbian missile system shot down a sophisticated (though no longer state-of-the-art) stealth fighter? *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The takeaway, ultimately, is that stealth aircraft are not truly ‘invisible’ to detection, and that sufficiently cunning adversary may find ways to ambush or corner them. However, while Col. Dani’s leadership did exemplify many best practices of air defense warfare, his ambush of Vega-31 does not offer a ‘cookie-cutter’ solution to combating stealth aircraft, particularly as both low...
The Overtaxed IRS Is Having Difficulty Keeping up With Stimulus Payments
Eli Fuhrman, The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*Eli Fuhrman* *IRS, Americas* [image: IRS] As fast as any organization can go, there are human and logistical limits to speed when the number of priorities increases. *Key point: *The IRS is processing tax returns, refunds, and stimulus checks. Although they are doing well, these combined tasks have put a strain on IRS system. Ever since the government began sending out direct stimulus payments to Americans in an effort to help mitigate the financial hardship brought on by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, fraud has been a concern.

Saturday Snippet: A young German-American in Mexico during the Civil War
Peter, Bayou Renaissance Man - 17 hours ago
August Santleben was a babe in arms when his family emigrated to the USA in 1845. He grew up in Texas, and became a freighter. He later wrote an account of his adventures in Texas and elsewhere, titled "A Texas Pioneer: Early Staging and Overland Freighting Days on the Frontiers of Texas and Mexico". It's an excellent book, describing many of the details of life in pioneer and Old West days that are often obscured by popular Western fiction.
