Is the Su-35 Flanker-E Russia's Best Fighter Yet?
*Sebastien Roblin* *Technology, Europe* [image: https://pictures.reuters.com/archive/RUSSIA-MILITARY--RC1D5A5F8BB0.html] A true marvel. *Key point:* The Su-35 is really good, but it might not match America's F-35. The Sukhoi Su-35 Flanker-E is the top Russian air-superiority fighter in service today, and represents the pinnacle of fourth-generation jet fighter design. It will remain so until Russia succeeds in bringing its fifth-generation PAK-FA stealth fighter into production. Distinguished by its unrivaled maneuverability, most of the Su-35’s electronics and weapons capabil... more »

State Department Snafu: Turkey Was Never Given a Green Light to Invade Syria
*Matthew Petti* *Security, Middle East* [image: Reuters] The Trump administration will neither support the Turkish operation in northern Syria nor opposite it with military force.

But for now, the United States believes that the Turkish campaign in Syria is limited. A senior State Department official talked to reporters about the state of the U.S.-... more »

In 1945, the U.S. Army Air Force issued a requirement for a “penetrating escort” jet that could accompany comparatively ponderous B-29 and B-50 strategic bombers all the way to targets over the Soviet Union. It wanted that jet to be capable of supersonic speeds, boast a combat radius of 900 to 1,500 miles, and for the sake of versatility, also be capable of hitting ground targets. The Air Force’s... more »
