Yes, Russia Once Had Its Own Version of the SR-71 Blackbird
*Sebastien Roblin* *History, Europe* [image: https://www.dvidshub.net/image/726713/sr-71-taking-off] How did it end? *Key point:* Many countries stealth or mimic each other weapons. In this case, Moscow was working on its own superfast spy plane. It’s a cliché of the Cold War that no sooner did one superpower pioneer a new weapons technology that its rival swiftly sought its own copy, canceling out any advantage long-term. Though this frequently did occur, the Soviet Union and the West had diverging theories about precisely which platforms would most reinforce their security pos... more »
See This Old Picture? Meet the Most Useless Aircraft Carrier Of All Time
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Asia* [image: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_aircraft_carrier_Shinano#/media/File:Japanese_aircraft_carrier_Shinano.jpg] Don't be surprised that it was supposed to be a battleship. *Key Point: *This was one aircraft carrier Imperial Japan surely regretted putting to sea. Over the last hundred years, the navies of the world have constructed, operated, and taken to war hundreds of aircraft carriers. Some carriers have been truly outstanding designs, while many more were simply adequate and lost to history. One ship that achieved fame not out of... more »
Huge Mistake?: Should the Air Force Have Kept the F-117 Nighthawk Flying?
*TNI Staff* *History, America* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C1999%3Anewsml_RP1DRIKVOBAD&share=true] Let's take a look. *Key point:* The F-117 Nighthawk was ahead of its time but was retired due to costs and because it was getting out-of-date. However, it still can prove useful on the battlefield. With the U.S. Air Force considering the future makeup of its force structure, it is a good time to look at the evolution of stealth starting with the Lockheed Martin *F-117 Nighthawk*. That aircraft was retired in 2008, but would the F-117 still be u... more »
Did Russian-Made Missiles Strike an Israeli Stealth F-35 in 2017?
*Michael Peck* *Security, * [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2019%3Anewsml_RC2R9D9COX1L&share=true] Probably not. Here's what we know. *Key Point:* The possability of the hit may be less important than the paranoia the rumor has caused. Did a Russian anti-aircraft missile hit one of Israel’s new F-35 stealth fighters back in late 2017? Pro-Russian media are claiming that an Israeli F-35I was hit and damaged by a Russian-made S-200 surface-to-air missile during an Israeli air strike in Syria earlier this month. Israel says one of its F-35s was da... more »

*Jacob Heilbrunn* *politcs, * With the impeachment trial over, Donald Trump is going right back to his favorite posture—on the attack. With the impeachment trial over, Donald Trump is going right back to his favorite posture—on the attack.

History Tells us China's Plan To Sink the U.S. Navy Is A Century Old
*Lyle J. Goldstein* *Security, * [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2019%3Anewsml_RC235E9269JO&share=true] How relevant is World War I to modern strategy? *Key Point:* China isn't making America's mistake, and is paying attention to the great power strategic tradition. Grave tensions in Russo-Turkish relations serve as a timely reminder that great power tensions can spiral downward all too rapidly. Diplomats in Washington, Ankara, Moscow and throughout Europe should be concentrating on how to keep the “new Cold War” from going hot. The troubling es... more »
In 1997, America Purchased 21 Russian-Made Mig-29 Fulcrum Fighter Jets
*Robert Beckhusen* *History, Europe* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2016%3Anewsml_D1BETTHVJVAA&share=true] Clever. *Key point:* The former communist Moldova needed money and America wanted to get its hands on Russian technology. So a deal was made. When the Soviet Union collapsed in late 1991, the newly independent states within its former domain inherited enormous stockpiles of weapons the Red Army left behind. One of the most interesting cases involved the air force of the tiny former Soviet republic of Moldova. The new republic’s inventory ... more »
No Surrender Until 1974: The Imperial Japanese Soldier Who Kept on Fighting
*Warfare History Network* *History, Asia* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2014%3Anewsml_GM1EA1H1AYU01&share=true] Wait, what? *Key point:* Onoda took seriously his duty to the Emperor and Imperial Japan. He was eventually captured and struggled to fit into modern Japan. The Japanese empire was a fine place for young Hiro Onoda. In 1939, at age 17, he hired on with a lacquerware company that posted him to Hankow (Wuhan) in Japanese-occupied China. There, he visited suppliers by day and danced the night away with obliging Chinese women. His idyll... more »
Confirmed: Israel Now Has Two Squadrons of Souped-Up F-35I Adir
*Seth J. Frantzman* *Security, Middle East* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2017%3Anewsml_RC1C785E2F70&share=true] Deadly. *Key point:* Israel has a special version of the F-35, the F-35I Adir. This version is modified for the kind of warfare Israel often wages and can do things America's stealth fighter cannot. Israel unveiled its second F-35i squadron to coincide with the new year at its Nevatim Airbase where its F-35s are based. This is a milestone for Israel which received its first F-35s in 2016 and declared its first squadron operation in... more »

The Poet: Jane Hirshfield, “The Task”
*“The Task”* "It is a simple garment, this slipped-on world. We wake into it daily - open eyes, braid hair - a robe unfurled in rose-silk flowering, then laid bare. And yes, it is a simple enough task we've taken on, though also vast: from dusk to dawn, from dawn to dusk, to praise, and not be blinded by the praising. To lie like a cat in hot sun, fur fully blazing, and dream the mouse; and to keep too the mouse's patient, waking watch within the deep rooms of the house, where the leaf-flocked sunlight never reaches, but the earth still blooms.” - Jane Hirshfield
