It’s a cliché of the Cold War that no sooner did one superpower pioneer a new weapons technology that its rival swiftly sought its own copy, canceling out any advantage long-term. Though this frequently did occur, the Soviet Union and the West had diverging theories about precisel...

Sebastien Roblin, The National Interest - 4 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *Area 51, Americas* The facility served as the birthplace of a number of aircraft. *Here's What You Need to Know*: The Groom Lake facility acquired the designation “Area 51” as it expanded and developed specialized facilities for supersonic jets. Despite the countless dubious conspiracy theories attributed to the site also known as “Dreamland” or “Groom Lake,” there’s no doubt that for over six decades the base hosted all sorts of “black project” aircraft whose existence was not formally disclosed by the Pentagon. Though the CIA only obliquely admitted to the...

Sebastien Roblin, The National Interest - 4 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *Aircraft Carriers, Americas* The America and Tripoli can only deploy short-takeoff and vertical-lift capable jump jets from their decks. *Here's What You Need to Know*: The new supersonic-capable F-35B Lightning II stealth jet could make air wings on LHDs and LHAs far more versatile.
