How Britain Aids Saudi Massacres In Yemen
A small English village is hardly the first place that comes to mind when mentioning the war in Yemen. Yet Warton in the northwest of England is playing an oversized role in what the United Nations has repeatedly called “the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.” The Lancashire village is home to an airfield and a manufacturing site where weapons dealer BAE Systems maintains, repairs and rearms Saudi jets responsible for much of the worst destruction in Yemen.

This Pentagon Expert Thinks the M48 Patton is Better than the M1 Abrams
*David Axe* *M1 Abrams Tank, United States* The M1 Abrams is the U.S. Army's main battle tank, but former Pentagon official Pierre Sprey suggested the 1950s-era M48 was the superior tank. *Key point to remember:* A new M-1 costs more in absolute terms than a new M-48 did 70 years ago. But it’s also true that the M-1 has an extensive, and successful, combat record stretching back to the 1991 Gulf War. Pierre Sprey was a member of the Pentagon team that, back in the 1970s, helped to write the requirements for the iconic A-10 attack plane. Sprey’s advocacy of the tough, hard-hitting... read more

Infantry weapons have long been a pillar of the North Korean People’s Army, or KPA for short. The KPA that invaded South Korea was largely an infantry army, and despite significant mechanization in the 1970s the foundation of the army has been its infantry forces.

Modern History’s Five Most Destructive Civil Wars
*Kyle Mizokami* *History, World* Civil wars come in many forms. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Civil wars can be uncommonly brutal. There are many types of civil wars. Sometimes, such as the American Civil War, one segment of the population simply wants to leave and set up a separate country. Other times an upstart political faction wishes to gain control of the country. In other circumstances, outside interests may attempt to partition the state to weaken it or gain access to its resources. Somewhat common during Cold War were civil wars in which a single people were partition... read more

Second Jobs and Ruling Class Reproduction
When the expenses scandal erupted in 2009, one of my comrades said MPs' second jobs would be the next crisis of their "profession" they'd have to face. 12 years on the prediction is fulfilled. Whereas Gordon Brown's hapless government bore the brunt of moat cleaning and duck houses last time, in 2021 the Tories are wriggling on the hook.

Why Is This Russian Shotgun Banned in the United States?
*Caleb Larson* *Firearms, United States* The gun's massive barrel diameter is the issue. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Since the barrels were originally designed to fire 23-millimeter ammunition, they were rifled, rather than smoothbore as many shotgun designs are. The shotgun was therefore classified as a carbine of sorts due to its barrel rifling. The KS-23 is possibly the largest shotgun ever designed by the Soviet Union or Russia. At 23 millimeters in diameter, the KS-23 easily dwarfs the smaller but ubiquitous 12 gauge shotgun, which is 18.5 millimeters in diameter. ... read more

The Aging F-15 Eagle Is Still a Formidable Fighter
*Kyle Mizokami* *F-15, Americas* The F-15 airframe in all its flavors will almost certainly spend an impressive half-century in active service—a first for a front line U.S. Air Force fighter. *Here's What You Need to Know*: The USAF still employs around 177 upgraded F-15C and two-seater D models, and approximately 224 F-15E Strike Eagles. For nearly three decades, the F-15 Eagle fighter was considered the undisputed king of the skies. Until the debut of its replacement, the F-22 Raptor, the F-15 was the U.S. Air Force’s frontline air superiority fighter. Even today, a modernized... read more
Hated by the Military: Meet the Infamous M114 Armored Fighting Vehicle

It remained in use with U.S. Army units in Europe, Korea and the United States. It wasn’t until 1973 that Gen. Creighton Abrams—for whom the M1 Abrams tank was named—branded the M114 a complete failure and had it retired from the U.S. Army.
