Could the U.S. Military Gain Air Supremacy in a War with China?*Kris Osborn* *China War, Asia* Any potential air attack over mainland China will require aircraft to operate at higher altitudes to avoid being detected.

China operates Russian-built and indigenously produced systems capable of tracking and attacking enemy aircraft. The technological sophistication of these weapons systems, and the extent to which they can be upgraded, would naturally make it quite difficult for U.S. or allied ... read more

U.S. Navy Fighters May Soon Be Submarine Hunters*Alex Hollings* *Fighter Jets, World* It’s an addition the Navy may want to pursue sooner, rather than later. *Here's What You Need to Remember:* Equipping the Navy’s fighters to hunt enemy submarines would go far in increasing the survivability of America’s carrier strike groups, but it’s an imperfect solution at best. Because of the severity of the threat submarines pose to America’s surface fleets, a broad spectrum of new and old technologies will have to be leveraged in a way that offers a compounding degree of situational awareness and quick-strike capabilities.
