Pray for those trapped in Afghanistan
A friend of mine is trapped in Afghanistan at present, a couple of hundred miles from the airport in Kabul. He can't get there from where he is. His only way out of the country is to reach one of its borders, on foot or by vehicle, through Taliban roadblocks and patrols looking for Westerners. He's not very confident that he'll make it out. (Understatement.) Needless to say, this is bothering me more than somewhat. I'm just not up to blogging this morning, even a Saturday Snippet. Please say a prayer for *everyone* trapped in Afghanistan at present, particularly families; ... read more

The Soviet Era MiG-31 Fighter Still Packs a Punch
*Sebastien Roblin* *Russian Air Force, Eurasia* NATO is now wary of these planes that were once used solely for defense. *Key point: T*he MiG-31 was built to be a home-defense interceptor and was neither exported nor used in combat. But Moscow maintains hundreds of the fighters in its inventory as parts of its multi-layered air defense network and will continue to do so for years to come. In the last decade of the Cold War, the MiG-31, codenamed Foxhound by NATO, enjoyed a certain mystique in the West.

Was the U.S. Involved in the Soviet Afghan War of the 1980s?
*Sebastien Roblin* *Cold War History, Middle East* The Soviets were mired in the Afghan war and Pakistan was aiding the insurgents. Here is how Washington was happy to help Islamabad out. *Key point: *Following the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979, Washington found that Zia’s policies dovetailed conveniently with getting Pakistani assistance in supporting Mujahideen insurgents fighting Communist forces. Thus, Pakistani and U.S. agents collaborated in organizing and arming militants proliferating in Afghan refugee camps in Pakistan. In 1977, General Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq ove... read more
These are the World’s Most Reliable Hunting Rifles

While the number of hunters in Europe and the rest of the industrialized world has declined with the rise of cities, hunting is still a major sport in the United States.

The T-54/55 series was the mainstay of the Soviet Army from the end of World War II until the introduction of its descendant, the T-62.
