Erdoğan’s Tactical Gamble in Istanbul Proves a Strategic Mistake
Ekrem Imamoglu billboards celebrating his victory (Credit: Wikimedia) *Editor’s Note: This article originally appeared on *Order from Chaos*.* Following a repeat mayoral election in Istanbul on June 23, Turkish strongman Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is not quite so strong anymore. If there is one thing worse than losing a close election, it must be losing the same election twice—and the second time with a much wider margin. This is what the Turkish president’s Justice and Development Party (AKP) experienced as polls confirmed that the opposition candidate and the new darling of Turkish de... more »

See This Old Plane? It Killed 4 F-15s In Simulated Battles in the Sky
*Dario Leone* *Security, * We can tell you how. The Lockheed F-104 was the first operational fighter capable of sustaining speeds above Mach 2. Thanks to this ability the Starfighter was a huge leap forward when strictly compared to the old subsonic and “forgiving” jets. Nevertheless when the air-to-air engagements took place at subsonic speeds, the lack of wing area put the F-104 at a disadvantage against more traditional fighters since its turn ability in this regime was critical. Hence the importance of not allowing the Starfighter to slow below Mach 1 to take advantage of i... more »
