US Army History Of Iraq War Vol 1 – Chapter 7 Muqawama Wa Intiqaam (Resistance And Reprisals), May-August 2003
As soon as the U.S. invasion ended in April 2003 a struggle for power broke out amongst Iraq’s political parties and armed groups. The U.S. military failed to see the bigger picture of what was going on in the country after the fall of Saddam Hussein. This is the topic of the seventh chapter in the U.S. Army’s history of the Iraq War. Most of the chapter is about the emergence of the insurgency. June 8, 2003 was the first U.S. military report that mentioned an insurgency saying it was led by Baathists. It also noted that Coalition Provisional Authority Orders 1 and 2 that disb... read more

Hypersonic engines won’t turn a Typhoon, F-15 or F-22 into a Mach 5 jet. Instead, hypersonic missiles will do the work.
