An Odd Little Commemoration: ANZAC Mythology During Coronavirus

Binoy KAMPMARK at OrientalReview.org - 20 hours ago
War commemorations nurse a dirty secret, though it is one displayed with a peacock flourish. The victors bring out the celebratory paraphernalia and talk about noble ideas; the defeated, quite simply, do not. We won, we celebrate and we, somehow, got things right. You, defeated, eat it, beat it. This […]

The Air Force Wants Hypersonic Missile Carrying F-15Xs To Fight Alongside Its Stealthy F-35s And F-22s

David Axe at The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*David Axe* *Security, * It will be a game-changer. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The Air Force already has developed tactics for mixing F-15Cs and F-22 Raptors. The Eagles with their more-powerful radars and heavier missile loads would fly behind the radar-evading F-22s, helping to spot targets for the Raptors and lob missiles at targets the F-22s miss. An F-15EX with a hypersonic missile could improve on that same concept. The U.S. Air Force could arm new F-15 Eagles with a hypersonic missile. That is, assuming Congress lets the flying branch buy the upgraded fighters. ... more »

Would Nazi Germany's Fate Have Changed If Hitler Won The Battle Of The Bulge?

*Michael Peck* *Security, Europe* The plan was to unleash a blitzkrieg by massed panzer divisions through the Ardennes forest, weakly defended by green or exhausted American troops. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Perhaps Hitler’s biggest mistake in the Battle of the Bulge was wishful thinking. He hoped to emulate his idol Frederick the Great, the eighteenth-century Prussian king who managed to fight off a much stronger coalition until the enemy alliance fell apart. He believed that the alliance between capitalist America and Britain, and communist Russia, would eventually co... more »

The U.S. Military Is Ordering Over 10,000 Guided Rockets To Beat Russian And Chinese A2/AD

*Jeff Schogol* *Security, * Range won't save you. *Here's What You Need To Remember:* “These challenges will only grow as competitors pursue concepts for holding our forces at bay at greater distances and denying our ability to maneuver in both littoral and landward areas.” Translation: Artillery units can shove a rocket down your throat from miles away, on land or sea — and yes, China, we’re talking to you. The Pentagon’s proposed budget for fiscal year 2020 contains a reversal of that old chestnut from *Top Gun*: When it’s too far for guns, then switch to missiles. The Penta... more »

After the war, many became planes in civilian airlines.

Once These Allied Battleships Sank, Naval Warfare Was Never The Same Again

Robert Farley at The National Interest - 20 hours ago
