The F-35 Will Soon Take Over the U.S. Military (Russia and China Should Sweat)
*Mark Episkopos* *F-35, Americas* The F-35 jet is now Air Force’s second-most numerous jet fighter after the F-16 Fighting Falcon. As serial deliveries of the F-35 fifth-generation stealth fighter continue en masse, the face of a new U.S. military begins to take shape. The U.S. Air Force reported last month that, following fourteen serial production lots, the service now has more F-35 jets than either F-15 Eagles or A-10 Thunderbolt II attack aircraft. At 283 models in service, the F-35 jet is now Air Force’s second-most numerous jet fighter after the F-16 Fighting Falcon. Thes... read more
The F-35 Stealth Fighter Could Soon Attack From Long-Range
*Mark Episkopos* *military, Americas* [image: F-35] By greatly enhancing the combat radius of carrier-based fighters, the MQ-25 Stingray allows carrier fleets to project power from safer ranges. The MQ-25 Stingray promises to bring new functionality to the F-35 fighter jet, enhancing the U.S. Navy’s lethality against its great power competitors. The MQ-25 Stingray is an uncrewed aerial refueling drone that is being developed by Boeing. The Stingray can almost double the effective strike range of the U.S. carrier wing. “The MQ-25 will give us the ability to extend the air wing o... read more

The large spy planes are easily recognizable thanks to their pencil-like fuselage and delicate looking wings.

The contemporary chroniclers have reported extensively on Saladin’s deeds as a ruler, but they have barely anything to say about the early days of his life, and no description of his physical features has survived.

This is not a question of freedom of navigation under the UN Convention of the Law of the Sea.
