Fog of War or Foggy Narratives? Afghanistan’s Information War Heats Up
*Tanya Goudsouzian, Jason Criss Howk* *Afghanistan, Asia* While many may say any government effort will be too little, too late, the importance of rebutting Taliban propaganda must still be a priority for the Afghan government and seen as no less important than combat operations. As the war in Afghanistan rages on between the Taliban and Afghan security forces, one frequently-cited feature in Western media coverage has been a series of color-coded maps describing areas of control. These graphics attempt to simplify a complex, decades-long war for the general public, most of whom ... read more

Kel-Tec’s Su-16 Is a Cross Between an AR-15 and AK-47
*Charlie Gao* *Kel-Tec, * [image: Wikimedia Commons] Kel-tec’s Sport Utility 16 (SU-16) rifle is an odd compromise. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The SU-16 is an interesting design, but it fails to do anything better than most of its competitors. When priced at around $600, it compares poorly to entry-level ARs at the same price point. If one lives in a “ban state,” the SCR costs more, but bring a lot more customizability and practicality to the table versus the SU-16. Kel-tec’s Sport Utility 16 (SU-16) rifle is an odd compromise.

Missile Truck: Why the Air Force Wants the F-15EX Fighter
*Eli Fuhrman* *F-15EX, * The F-15 Eagle II incorporates a number of upgrades over its predecessor models, and is based on Boeing’s most advanced F-15 models currently being produced for Qatar while also maintaining 70 percent parts commonality with existing F-15s. Like its counterpart in the F-16 Fighting Falcon, the fourth-generation F-15 Eagle has been a mainstay of the United States Air Force’s fighter fleet since its introduction to operation service in the 1970s. For decades the F-15 formed the core of the Air Force’s air superiority mission, and while the title of the worl... read more

Rising Tensions: Indian Forces Are Terrified of Pakistan's Chinese Jet
*Charlie Gao* *JF-17, Asia* The JF-17 is a Chinese design with a Russian engine. *Here's What You Need to Know*: The JF-17 is a relatively new single-engine fighter, meant to compete against other light fighters like the F-16, Gripen, and MiG-29 for export contracts. The 2019 India-Pakistan border skirmish resulted in major shake-ups within the Indian Air Force (IAF). The most accepted narrative, that of a loss of an IAF MiG-21 Bison to no losses of the Pakistan Air Force bodes poorly for the IAF. But interestingly, according to a July interview, the skirmish marked one of the f... read more

Arab Protests in Iran: Water Crisis or Systemic Racism?
*Ramin Jabbarli* *Iran, Middle East* Portraying Iran as a homogenous country by those groups who are interested in maintaining Persian domination, including the government or the mainstream opposition, would lead to a reductionist understanding of a complex society. Ahvazi Arabs have been protesting in the majority of the Arab populated cities of Iran since July 15. So far, a number of protesters have been shot to death by Iranian security forces. Most media and analysts portray the protests as riots in response to water shortage and mismanagement. However, the water crisis in A... read more
