A-4 Skyhawk: This Plane Ruled the Skies From Vietnam to the Middle East

*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, Asia* The A-4 exemplified virtues of simplicity and cost-efficiency that have seemingly been forgotten in modern warplane design. *Here's What You Need to Know*: The A-4 was one tough jet.

But some of the most influential aircraft in history succeeded instead because they could do their job pretty well at a very reasonable cost. Such was the case of the agile A-4 Skyhawk, a small but heavy-lifting attack jet that would carve out a major place for itself in A...

It didn’t quite happen. *Mosin-Nagant* The Mosin-Nagant’s story begins with the Russian Empire. About a decade before the turn of the nineteenth century, the Russian Empire was quite literally on the hunt for a new service rifle to replace the American-developed Berdan rifle. The rifle was widely produced, and though it benefitted from a rugged, sturdy design and was reasonably accurate, the rifle was significantly hindered by its single...

Drug Price Control 51, Pharma efficiency and lower drug prices
Bienvenido Oplas Jr, Government and Taxes - 18 hours ago
I reviewed again two reports (below) featuring LKI and my friend Vic Dimagiba. I think Vic – and many other NGOs – may be confused as consumer advocates. The main “vested interest” of consumers is more choices. Like there is a P10 coffee in a carinderia, P20 coffee in 711 and MiniStop, P150 to P250 coffee in Starbucks or CBTL, etc. It is not the desire of consumers that the P150 coffee be price-controlled by DTI or LGUs to become P50 or P20 so that it becomes “affordable” for the masa. No. Consumers have other desires and interests why they chose the P150+ coffee, like being in a ...

Around The World In Two Hours? Chinese Scientists Test "Revolutionary" Hypersonic Engine
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
This is a nice departure from our past efforts to tame the Scramjet. It is also time we really looked at other geometries. It is also far too soon to be optomistic, but it seems they may be on a worthy track. what is promised is the long imagined but clearly unobtainable runway to space transporter. This will also need a lot of unobtainable special alloys. I really think that I can get there with gravity control much sooner. However it is still worth the effort. *Around The World In Two Hours?

arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
This is highly unexpected and screams 'look at me'. Otherwise we know nothing and connecting dots is terribly premature. So silence is best on that matter. In the meantime ample fraud is been uncovered in all the target jurisdictions across several key states. This cannot stand and will not stand. Again we are seeing a planned reveal in which it was known fraud would be occuring and placing assets a no brainer. By now all the criminals know they have been make. *NEVADA* *Voter Rights Group Notifies DOJ of Pakistani Link With Nevada Election Email System* *A Clark County...

In 1968, a U.S. Fighter Jet Accidentally Attacked an Australian Ship
Robert Farley, The National Interest - 19 hours ago
*Robert Farley* *History, Asia* [image: Wikimedia Commons] Simple courtesy should demand that pilots tasked to missions over water should be trained to identify the difference between an American heavy cruiser and a North Vietnamese patrol boat (or helicopter for that matter). *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The mistaken attack killed three Australian sailors. It is small consolation that the attack, while disastrous, could have been much, much worse. Friendly fire casualties were common in the Vietnam War. The unconventional nature of the conflict made for more than the occ...
Which Nation Sells the Most Weapons? That Would be the USA
Michael Peck, The National Interest - 19 hours ago
*Michael Peck* *Security, Americas* [image: Reuters] U.S. companies were responsible for 59 percent of arms sales among the Top 100. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *America sells more guns than all other registered nations put together - although there is one crucial absence on the list.

The top 100 defense companies accounted for $420 billion in 2018, up 4.6 percent from 2017 and...

What is Driving America and China to Clash Over Taiwan?
Kris Osborn, The National Interest - 19 hours ago
*Kris Osborn* *Security, Asia* According to China, war could come down to U.S. actions. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Most recently, the United States is now amid a deal with Taiwan to offer as many as 108 Abrams main battle tanks. This is quite significant, as the presence of main battle tanks on the Taiwanese mainland certainly strengthens a credible deterrent against a Chinese invasion, by at very least ensuring that a ground invasion could be costly and lengthy for China should it embark upon such a venture.
