One of the most iconic tanks of the Cold War era, the M60 Patton has proven itself over its four decades of service as a worthy predecessor to the contemporary M1 Abrams. The project that eventually became the M60 Patton grew out of a 1950s initiative to replace the prior M48, a compelling main battle tank (MBT) that was nonetheless held back by its anemic operational range and middling armaments suite.

[image: Iranian forces are ‘ready to respond to any steps from the enemy’: commander] BEIRUT, LEBANON (4:00 P.M.) – Major General Sayed Abdel Rahim Mousavi, Commander in Chief of the Iranian Army, said that his country is ready to respond to any step taken by the enemy. On Wednesday, Mousavi said during the Al-Aqatdar 99 maneuvers, launched by the Iranian army’s ground force in the Makran region (southeast of the country), that “the enemy will receive a regretful response if he takes any step resulting from miscalculation and his miscalculations against Iran.” The Army Commander-in...
Russian Su-57 would win dogfight against US F-35: test pilot
News Desk, AMN – Al-Masdar News | المصدر نيوز - 14 hours ago
[image: Russian Su-57 would win dogfight against US F-35: test pilot] Russian Su-57 fifth generation fighter jet should be able to win over the US-made F-35 in case of a one-on-one dogfight, thanks to its maneuverability, says Magomed Tolboyev, a renowned test pilot who celebrates his 70th anniversary Wednesday. “Su-57 will kill [a F-35] easily, should they meet one on one. The F-35 cannot maneuver, it’s simply incapable. But it does has electronic might,” Tolboyev said, adding that electronics could be disrupted even by Solar flares.

MacIntyre: Human Beings as Storytelling Beings
Unknown, The Conservative Socrates - 15 hours ago
Human beings are storytelling beings—their lives are a narrative quest. In his book *After Virtue*, Alasdair MacIntyre writes: “I can only answer the question ‘What am I to do?’ if I can answer the prior question ‘Of what story or stories do I find myself a part?’” A teleological character can be discerned in every lived narrative, but this does not imply that the life’s purpose is fixed by an external authority; MacIntyre notes that teleology and unpredictability can coexist. He writes: “Like characters in a fictional narrative we do not know what will happen next, but nonetheless ...

The Littoral Combat Ship is More Vulnerable Than We Thought
David Axe, The National Interest - 14 hours ago
*David Axe* *Security, Asia* And China is loving it. *Here's What You Need To Remember: * The U.S. Navy in late 2019 or 2020 expects to select a shipyard to build the fleet’s new guided-missile frigate. The 20 heavily-armed frigates will replace roughly half of the 50 or so Littoral Combat Ships (LCS) that the Navy had planned to buy before realizing that the lightly-armed LCS likely couldn’t survive in a major shooting war. Just how vulnerable is the LCS? In 2013 journalist Kyle Mizokami put the speedy, 3,000-ton-displacement vessel to the test. Booting up *Command: Modern Na...
Five Weapon Systems That Will Make All the Difference in Israel's Next War
Kyle Mizokami, The National Interest - 14 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * The Israeli Army has seen combat every decade since its founding, so it knows its weapons. Much like the Israeli Air Force, the Israeli Army came from humble—but more established—beginnings. Israel’s ground forces had their origins in the Haganah, a Zionist paramilitary force created in the early 1920s to protect Jewish interests. The Haganah cooperated with British authorities but turned hostile in 1944 when the Axis neared defeat and the need for a Jewish state became increasingly clear. In 1947 the Haganah was reorganized into regular army units,...

*Mark Episkopos* *Security, Americas* [image: By Huhu - Self-photographed, Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=13459594] The Patton Tank was formidable, but it was still just a precursor to the modern Abrams. One of America’s most successful early postwar tanks, the M48 distinguished itself as the workhorse U.S. tank of the Vietnam War. In the years following the Second World War, the U.S. military was left with three main tanks: the M26 heavy tank, M4 Sherman medium tank, and M24 light tank. These models were very much products of their time; the M26, ...

A Political Junkie, Viable Opposition - 15 hours ago
Under the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Food and Drug Administration's Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System or VAERS, Americans can gain insight into the potential "adverse events" related to administration of the COVID-19 vaccines. In this posting, I want to summarize the deaths that have occurred, the date of death and and how long after vaccination the deaths took place and whether the descendent had allergies. As background, VAERS was established in 1990 as quoted here: VAERS has seven objectives, all of which seem important given that the nRNA vaccine...
