State Budget Time In New York And Florida
Francis Menton, Manhattan Contrarian - 1 day ago
* Many people of a libertarian bent, such as myself, often express frustration with Republican politicians for their lack of dedication to small-government principles. But then, the alternative is Democrats, who have somehow turned into the party that believes there are no longer any limits on government spending and taxes. * If you think there isn’t a whole lot of difference between how the two parties govern when in power, you might want to compare what’s going on these days in Florida versus New York. In Florida, both state legislative chambers, and the governorship, are controll...

The HK416 Rifle Was the Last Thing Osama Bin Laden Ever Saw
Caleb Larson, The National Interest - 22 hours ago
*Caleb Larson* *Assault Rifle, * The rifle is still controversial in some circles - but is now generally regarded as superior to the M4 carbine that it replaced for this mission. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Thanks in part to the H&K416’s piston design, the rifle is prized for being highly reliable with a good reputation. In addition, the rifle is regarded as highly accurate, and can reliably hit point targets at a range of six hundred meters. Heckler & Koch’s HK416 flew under the radar for quite some time.

Who Wins When America’s M1 Abrams and Russia’s T-90 Tanks Clash?

*TNI Staff* *Tanks, Europe* The Soviet Union may be long gone and there is no longer the threat of a massive Red Army onslaught coming through the Fulda Gap in Germany, but Russia has continued to develop its tanks. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *It should be noted that replacing or even developing a new M1A3 variant is not a high priority for the U.S. Army. The Army is being drawn down after the U.S. ground forces were pulled from Iraq and Afghanistan, and with the focus on the Pacific theatre, the service is looking for ways to carve out its niche.

Why Russia’s Akula-Class Submarines Are Big (Silent) Threat
Sebastien Roblin, The National Interest - 23 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *Russian Navy, Europe* America has the quietest submarines, but these boats gave Washington quite the fright. *Key Point*: The Akula was made for stealth, to take punches, and to go after America's own boats. Here is why the Akula caused such alarm in Washington. The Soviet Union produced hot-rod submarines that could swim faster, take more damage, and dive deeper than their American counterparts—but the U.S. Navy remained fairly confident it had the Soviet submarines outmatched because they were all extremely noisy. Should the superpowers clash, the quieter ...
Russian Soldiers Paid Dearly for Fighting With the T-80 Tank
S.K. Au-Yeong, The National Interest - 23 hours ago
*S.K. Au-Yeong* *T-80 Tank, Europe* The T-80 was the last main battle tank to come out of the Soviet Union. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *It was easy for the Russian high command to blame the T-80’s design for the Chechen disaster–as opposed to clumsy operational planning and tactical inadequacies. But ultimately, it was a lack of *money* which caused the cheaper T-72 to displace the T-80 as the preferred choice for Russia’s export sales and its post-Chechen wars. The T-80 is a glaring lesson in why heavily-armored tanks can hide major weaknesses. Once considered a premium ...

Russia’s T-90 Tank Just Got Better: Meet the T-90MS
Mark Episkopos, The National Interest - 23 hours ago
*Mark Episkopos* *T-90 Tank, Eurasia* The T-90MS is a modernized export version of the T-90 main battle tank, Russia’s staple heavy armor solution from the early 1990’s through 2011. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Despite these active measures to maintain market competitiveness, the T-90MS will still come in at 4.5 million dollars per unit, a steep increase over the 2.5-3.5 million dollars per unit of its T-90S predecessor. To capture as many segments of the heavy armor market as possible, the Russians will *continue offering* the T-90S and even the original T-90. Earlier t...
No Longer Nuclear: How the B-1 Lancer Still Packs a Punch
Caleb Larson, The National Interest - 23 hours ago
*Caleb Larson* *B-1 Bomber, * The B-1 has four of these GE afterburning turbofan engines for a combined total of 123,000 pounds of thrust, which propels the B-1 to Mach 1.2. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The B-1 proved to be popular in Afghanistan, where its combination of high speed, long-range, and high payload capacity meant that it could serve as a ground-attack-support platform, despite being originally designed as a nuclear bomber. The B-1 Lancer is an impressive long-range, supersonic heavy bomber with variable-geometry wings designed for both supersonic and subsonic...
