The Idiot's Answer To Global Warming: Hydrogen
* Hydrogen! It’s the obvious and perfect answer to global warming caused by human CO2 emissions. Instead of burning hydrocarbons (fossil fuels) we can leave out the carbon part, burn just the hydrogen, and emit nothing but pure water vapor. H2 + O = H2O! Thus, no more CO2 emissions . Why didn’t anyone think of this before now? * Actually, the geniuses are way ahead of you on this one. President George W. Bush was touting the coming “hydrogen economy” as far back as 2003. (“In his 2003 State of the Union Address, President Bush launched his Hydrogen Fuel Initiative. The goal of this ... read more

Don’t Discount Russia’s Mighty Airborne Forces
*Charlie Gao* *Russian Military, * One of the primary impetuses that drove the creation of a large transport fleet is the existence of the VDV, a specialist airborne branch of the Russian military separate from the rest of the ground forces. *Here's What You Need to Remember:* In order to maintain their status as the second greatest air-mobile military, Russia is still looking to upgrade and expand their fleet. At the moment that means looking for a new supplier as their previous manufacturer, Antonov, is now a wholly Ukrainian-owned firm. The new provider will likely be the firm... read more

The first units were sold to Pakistan by China around 2008, since then Pakistan has built facilities to indigenously produce rockets for the system.

Shot Down Pilots Must Rely on Their Wits and the GAU-5A to Survive

The burst cam in the rifles is notorious for making the semi-automatic trigger pull inconsistent, resulting in the Army and Marine Corps moving back to full-auto trigger groups on their AR-style rifles.

Why Does Russia Use an Old Soviet-Era Tank Model as the Backbone of Its Army?
*Michael Peck* *Russia, Russia* At least 25,000 T-72s have been built, making it the second-most prolific post-World War II tank, coming in behind only the ubiquitous T-54/T-55. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *What's notable about the T-72 is how it has been upgraded over the years, as well as its numerous variants. While the T-14 Armata is an intriguing and sophisticated next-generation tank, it seems unlikely that it will be mass-produced enough to become the primary Russian main battle tank any time soon.

Which F-35 Stealth Fighter Variant Is Truly the Best?
*Charlie Gao* *F-35 Stealth Fighter, * Oftentimes, the F-35 has been colloquially referred to as one aircraft in the media, or various versions of the F-35 have been conflated with each other. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *All of these limitations may make it seem like the F-35B once in flight is by and large just a worse version of the F-35A. While this is true, it’s important to consider the roles of the aircraft. The F-35B is far closer in capability to the F-35A than the AV-8B was to the F-16C.
