Flamed Out: Why the Army Does Not Have Flamethrowers Anymore
Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 28 minutes ago
*Peter Suciu* *History, Americas* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2015%3Anewsml_TM3EB4T1HOV01&share=true] Such weapons were controversial and also not very effective in combat. *Key point: *Flamethrowers have been used for a very long time. However, in modern times they began to fall out of favor. The idea of using fire as a weapon likely occurred as soon as the first human settlement was attacked by a rival tribe. The problem is that fire doesn’t know friend from foe and for eons couldn’t really be controlled. The earliest known example of a “c...

Why Doesn't Israel Fly the F-22 Raptor Stealth Fighter?
Caleb Larson, The National Interest - 4 hours ago
*Caleb Larson* *Security, * It's all thanks to a 1998 law called the “Obey Amendment.” *Here's What You Need to Know*: The U.S. military has long worried about enemies stealing its technological secrets. Israel gets a large amount of defense aid from the United States in the form of both cash, weapons, and weapons platforms — but why doesn’t Israel have the F-22 stealth fighter? *American Weapons in Israeli Hands* Perhaps the most prominent example of American-Israeli cooperation is the Israeli version of the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II, which Israel — and Israel alone — ...
Battledress of American Doughboy: The U.S. Army Uniform of the Great War
Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 4 hours ago
*Peter Suciu* *History, Americas* As the U.S. Army prepared to head “over there” its two-hundred-thousand-man peacetime army swelled to more than three million in a short time. After the first units arrived in France the battledress of the U.S. Army was modified slightly. Following the Spanish-American War the U.S. Army reconsidered the uniform that its soldiers would wear in the field. A number of changes were made, and in December 1911 the War Department published the new *Regulations for the Uniform of the United States Army.* When America entered the Great War (World War I...

Did China Use Microwave Weapons Against Indian Soldiers?
Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Peter Suciu* *Security, Asia* What be the strategic benefit? In what sounds like a story out of science fiction, the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) reportedly employed a powerful “microwave” earlier this month, and it wasn’t to heat up dinner for soldiers stationed in the Himalayas near the Line of Actual Control (LAC). Instead, it may have been used against Indian troops. While essentially non-lethal, the microwaves were aimed at the Indian Army to make them violently ill and force their retreat. Within fifteen minutes of the deployment of microwaves the Indian troops ...
Iran's 'Zombie' Cannon is American Made
Caleb Larson, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Caleb Larson* *Security, Middle East* What is it exactly? Neither tank nor artillery piece fits the bill. *Here's What You Need to Remember*: The M110 could fire a massive eight-inch artillery shell nearly 20 miles away. Even though it’s retired with the United States—Iran still uses it. *M110* The M110 is a bit of a zombie—neither tank nor artillery piece, but something of both. The M110 is based on the smaller M115 howitzer, a towed artillery piece that in its ultimate configuration was designed in 1939, but owed its development to a post-World War I heavy howitzer. Both th...
Could the X-59 Be the Next Concorde?
Caleb Larson, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Caleb Larson* *Aviation, Americas* [image: Wikimedia Commons] NASA is back in the supersonic passenger jet game. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The biggest problem with supersonic travel is the noise. A "sonic boom" is really loud - loud enough to smash windows underneath it. This makes most commercial flights difficult. The X-59's "sonic thump" technology goes a long way towards rectifying this problem. Commercial travel at supersonic speeds has been something of a wild goose chase. There are a number of technically challenging engineering obstacles that have to be overc...
