S-70 Unmanned Combat Air Vehicle Fly With An Su-57 For The First Time (Video)
*Warzone/The Drive: **Watch Russia's S-70 Unmanned Combat Air Vehicle Fly With An Su-57 For The First Time* *Russia says one of the primary goals of the program is to be able to operate both of these aircraft together in manned-unmanned teams.* Russia's S-70 Okhotnik-B, or Hunter-B, flying wing unmanned combat air vehicle, or UCAV, has flown together with a Su-57 advanced combat jet for the first time. The Russians see at least one of the S-70's future missions being to operate together with the Su-57 in a "loyal wingman" role, which could help mitigate some of the shortcomings of... more »
The Saudi Oil Attack Mystery: Who Really Took Out 5% of the World's Oil?
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, Middle East* [image: Reuters] Was it really Tehran or someone else? On September 14, seven cruise missiles and eighteen drones came roaring towards Saudi Aramco oil processing facilities in eastern Saudi Arabia. Though the facilities at Khurais and Abqaiq were theoretically defended by at least three different types of air defense systems, including U.S. Patriot PAC-2 air-defense missiles, they failed to detect the attack until too late. The facility’s guards only had time to unleash last minute bursts automatic weapons fire before the explosive-lad... more »
Glock 39: The Tiny Gun That Should Not Be Overlooked
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * Worth your time or too small? *Key point: *The .45 GAP round has great performance. In the early twenty-first century, industry cooperation between the CCI/Speer ammunition company and Glock lead to the creation of a new caliber, .45 GAP. GAP stood for Glock Automatic Pistol and was meant as an alternative to the nearly century-old .45 ACP. Although things didn’t exactly work out that way, the .45 GAP is still a viable cartridge for shooters who want power with less recoil. The .45 GAP round was released in November 2002 by CCI/Speer. The round was ... more »
Your History Book Forgot This: The Real Reason Japan Attacked at Pearl Harbor
*Warfare History Network* *Security, Americas* [image: USN [Public domain]] The complicated reasons why American and Japan clashed in the Pacific. *Key point:* It started with Japan's modernization and interest in American naval theorist Alfred Thayer Mahan.

Midnight Meme Of The Day!
*by Noah* Every time some new allegations about "Supreme" Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh surface, like they did recently, I am reminded of how Republican logic works. They will blindly rally around an apparent drunken serial abuser while labeling any black young male, a thug. They have a whole TV channel dedicated to things like that. And god forbid if someone takes a knee to protest the police murder of any black youth anywhere. As noted in the instances illustrated by tonight's meme, Republicans will always display their support of rape culture and their support of racist homicid... more »

Quote of the Day – Religion Warning
“Catholic doctrine tells us that the primary duty of charity does not lie in the toleration of false ideas, however sincere they may be, nor in the theoretical or practical indifference towards the errors and vices in which we see our brethren plunged . . . Further, whilst Jesus was kind to sinners and to those who went astray, He did not respect their false ideas, however sincere they might have appeared. He loved them all, but He instructed them in order to convert them and save them.” – Pope St. Pius X, Our Apostolic Mandate, August 25, 1910.

Nuclear Weapons: The Only Way America Could Have Won the Vietnam War?
*Steve Weintz* *Security, Asia* Or start World War III? *Key point: *It would not have been worth the cost. By February 1966, frustration with the U.S. bombing campaign against North Vietnam rose high enough to spur talk of going nuclear. Throughout the Vietnam War, such talk was mostly just that, but in 1966, it worried certain people enough to gin up a classified study of tactical nuclear weapons use in Southeast Asia. The study's authors—members of the JASONs, the Pentagon's "wise men"—concluded that any way you looked at it, nukes in 'Nam were a very bad idea. The JASONs we... more »
