Who Wins This Fight: An F-22 Stealth Fighter , or a Tropical Storm?
*Sebastien Roblin*
*F-22, *
We found out on October 9, 2018, when Hurricane Michael hit. The Air Force
had just a few days to evacuate.
*Here's What You Need To Remember: *The storm flipped a fourteen-ton F-15
used as monument on its back, destroyed all of the homes of base personnel
and their families, scattered trailers like matchsticks, shredded trees and
peeled off metal roofs. Tyndall’s drone runway, flight line and marina
sustained catastrophic damage.
The F-22 Raptor may be the most elusive fighter ever built. It has a

Submarine Sinker: The USS England was Every Submariner’s Nightmare

No Joke: The U.S.-China Fight Over Taiwan Could Destroy the World
*Sebastien Roblin*
*China, Asia*
In 1955, the Chinese People’s Liberation Army embarked on a bloody
amphibious landing to capture a fortified Nationalist island, only about
twice the size of a typical golf course.
*Here's What You Need to Know*: Whether Eisenhower’s nuclear brinkmanship
was what led to the ending of hostilities, however, is much debated.
Hostilities would reignite three years later in the Second Taiwan Strait
Crisis, where the U.S. provision of Sidewinder air-to-air missiles and
heavy artillery helped secure a favorable outcome for the Nationalists.

effort devoted to working out the kinks in the Fifth-Generation. Many of
the component technologies such as lasers, cooperative engagement, and
unmanned piloting, are already in well under development, but integrating
them into a single airframe... read more

understanding of inflation and the role of the central bank.
