Did a Decades-Old Russian Made Missile Hit an Israeli F-35?
*Michael Peck* *F-35, Middle East* Embarrassing if true. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Evidence for the Russian claims seems rather tenuous. Did a Russian anti-aircraft missile hit one of Israel’s new F-35 stealth fighters? A few years back, pro-Russian media claimed that an Israeli F-35I was hit and damaged by a Russian-made S-200 surface-to-air missile during an Israeli air strike in Syria. Israel said one of its F-35s was damaged—after colliding with a bird. The story begins on October 16, 2017, when Israel announced that its aircraft had struck a Syrian SAM battery near ... read more
Old Fort Erie: America's Defiant Stand During the War of 1812
*Warfare History Network, Mike Phifer* *War of 1812, Americas* A British army besieged Fort Erie on the Niagara frontier in 1814. The Americans responded to British assaults with determined sorties. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Brown’s Americans fought with great skill throughout the summer of 1814. The crash of musketry in the early hours of August 15, 1814, quickly caught the attention of Captain Nathan Towson.

Vaccine Skeptics
Pyrrho of Elis, founder of the Skeptical School, holds rigorously to principle. Existential Comics. Predictably, it turns out that liberals are to blame for vaccine hesitancy—Murc's Law again—because we're "condescending" and that hurts the feelings of people who might otherwise go for it. We're treating them as mulish when they're in fact skeptical, Michael Brendan Dougherty opines at National Review: Proponents of the vaccine are unwilling or unable to understand the thinking of vaccine skeptics — or even admit that skeptics may be thinking at all. Their attempts to answer s... read more

America's Aging Nimitz-Class Aircraft Carriers: Still the Best Carrier?
*Peter Suciu* *Aircraft Carriers, Americas* Military hardware is typically considered antiquated after fifty years of service. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Extending the service life of a carrier may not be as simple as deciding not to retire a warship. The sentiment that “life begins at fifty” isn't exactly new, but traditionally military hardware that reaches half a century in service starts to be considered quite antiquated. There have been examples of vehicles and equipment that remain in service such as the B-52 Stratofortress, but when it comes to warships, fifty has be... read more

Flying Monster: Why the Soviet Union's VVP-6 Missile Helicopter Never Flew
