Russia’s Tank Force Is so Large That it Shakes the Earth
Charlie Gao, The National Interest - 16 hours ago
*Charlie Gao* *Russian Army, Europe* Most recent attention has been focused on the T-72 tank line in Russian service. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The T-90M also retains the Shtora Active Protection System (APS) from earlier T-90 variants. The distinctive “eyes” that formed the Shtora jamming component are removed, but the capability to detect missile launches and automatically deploy smoke is retained. During the Cold War, the number of different tank types the Soviet Union maintained often puzzled Western analysts. Eight distinct families of tanks were operated, suppor...
Why the Hypersonic SR-72 Spy Plane Has Hit Some Hurdles
Sebastien Roblin, The National Interest - 16 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *SR-72, Americas* The SR-72’s promoters argue that “speed is the new stealth,” reflecting a growing belief in some quarters that improved networked sensors will eventually diminish the survivability of stealth aircraft, making speed once again more prominent as means of defense. *Here’s What You Need to Remember: * Hypersonic weapons—those capable of flying over five times the speed of sound—are the hot new buzzword of defense industrial complexes across the globe. China, Russia and the United States have all vigorously and relatively openly pursued a diverse a...

barovsky, The New Dark Age - 17 hours ago
At the end of March, the Home Office launched its consultation about the New Plan for Immigration. The consultation questionnaire has 45 questions – some are multiple-choice and some are open questions. But all of them are framed in such a way that it is almost impossible to answer any of them in a meaningful way. Priti Patel’s “New Plan for Immigration” is not so new and it is not a plan either.

On April 24th, 1990, the Hubble Space Telescope was launched, and though it had bumpy childhood once the problems were fixed it has well exceeded its mission expectancy. A good thing too. The James Webb Space Telescope that was supposed to replace it 13 years and billions of dollars ago still hasn't launched, and when it eventually does, if things don't work, no space shuttle can reach it. read more

Russia’s MiG-29 Was the Premier Jet of Combat Problems
Charlie Gao, The National Interest - 16 hours ago
*Charlie Gao* *military, Euraasia* When the MiG-29 first entered the scene in the 1980s, it was conceived as a “lower-end” air-superiority fighter which could be procured in greater numbers at a lower cost, in contrast to the Su-27, which was considered to be the high-end solution. *Here’s What You Need to Know*: The MiG-29 is one of the world’s most prolific fighter jets. It currently serves in both NATO and CIS air forces. It’s the fifth most common combat aircraft in the world, even the current president of Bulgarian used to fly them.

*Sebastien Roblin* *Submarines, * American subs were routinely detecting and trailing the Soviet submarines from a distance without being detected in return. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Thus the U.S. Navy reportedly sees the beefier, more heavily armed characteristics of the *Seawolf* as a model for its next SSN(X) submarine—even if it comes at a similar cost of $5.5 billion per submarine.

Why Australia Needs to Build Its Own Guided Weapons
Marcus Hellyer, The National Interest - 18 hours ago
*Marcus Hellyer* *Guided Weapons, Asia* The government has established a national enterprise to build ships, submarines and armoured vehicles in Australia, but, without guided weapons, those platforms will have limited utility. Last year’s war between Azerbaijan and Armenia was short, sharp and decisive. By effectively employing precision guided weapons, the former rapidly forced the latter to capitulate and accede to its political demands. The conflict confirmed the centrality of guided weapons to modern warfighting and showed how small states can now master the technologies and...
