F-35 Stealth Fighter vs. F-15EX: Why the F-35 Has One Big Advantage
Kris Osborn, The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*Kris Osborn* *F-35 vs. F-15EX, * The F-35 JSF is built to take on great power competitors like Russia or China who operate advanced air defense systems. The F-15EX, despite all the hype, can't say that. The most advanced and rapidly emerging Russian and Chinese-built air defenses are now much more likely to operate with an ability to detect even stealth aircraft to some degree, an emerging reality that continues to present something of a predicament for U.S. weapons developers seeking to preserve air supremacy against major power rivals. Russian media claims that its upgraded ...

The U.S. Military Is Drooling Over the SIG Sauer MG 338 Machine Gun

*Peter Suciu* *SIG Sauer MG 338, * It could seem that the M240s days are just as limited as the M4 and M249 and that the MG 338 could fill the role for general purpose or platoon-level machine gun across both the Army and Marines. Effective at ranges out to 2,000 meters, the SIG Sauer MG 338 machine gun has a greater range than the M240 platoon-level machine gun. It has a rate of fire of 600 pounds and is chambered in the hard-hitting .338 Norma Magnum (8.6x63mm) round, and yet it weighs in at just around 21 pounds.

Ready, Aim...: The Longest Serving Guns in the U.S. Military

*U.S. Military Guns, * Arguably the best bolt action rifle ever employed by the U.S. military, the M1903 Springfield isn't used today but it was in service for 60 years.
