This Is How Russia's MiG-29 Fulcrum Got Its Fearsome Reputation
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, Eurasia* They had some problems though. *Key point:* MiG-29s are being actively used in combat in Ukraine The MiG-29 Fulcrum was the first Russian fourth-generation jet fighter, marked by its sleek and deadly appearance in contrast to earlier Soviet fighters. The fast and agile Fulcrum could outturn any NATO fighter, and it was armed with cutting-edge missiles. But, alas, it was held back by its old-fashioned electronics, short service life and limited range. In a sense, the MiG-29 combined fourth generation engineering with third generation hardwar... more »

This Plane Might Get The Air Force To Give Up The F-22 Raptor
*David Axe* *Security, Americas* The F-35 is that impressive. *Key point:* The Air Force's budgetary problems have been a long time coming. A new fighter to replace the F-22 Raptor could eat the U.S. Air Force's budget starting in the 2030s, the Congressional Budget Office reported. The Air Force on average spent $12 billion per year, in current dollars, on new aircraft between 1980 and 2018. But replacing the flying branch's roughly 180 F-22s in the 2030s while simultaneously buying new F-35s, cargo planes and tankers, could cost as much as $23 billion annually, the CBO conclu... more »

Man’s rights are not natural; they are manmade and hard-earned. The idea of natural rights is an idealistic abstraction which is incoherent in face of the practical realities of the world. In his *Refections on the Revolution in France* (1790), Edmund Burke notes that conventions—and not nature—are the basis of the *real* rights for man. This implies that man cannot enjoy rights in every nation—the rights are specific to those nations which possess healthy philosophical and political conventions. Burke argues that since the rights are conventional, they are incapable of rational dem... more »
