Talk about Rush Hour: Taiwanese F-16 Fighter Jets Landed on a Highway*Michael Peck* *Taiwan, East Asia* This isn't the first time its happened in history. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Sweden and Finland practiced doing this during the Cold War: they mostly stopped after the collapse of the Soviet Union, only to recently resume highways landings in light of Russia’s growing power. And every now and then, a civilian pilot suffers an emergency and lands his little propeller plane on the interstate. An F-16 landing on a public highway, engine roaring as its wheels touch the concrete, is a memorable addition to any driver’s morning commute. But whe... read more

Why Does India Keep Producing More Nuclear Weapons than It Needs?*Michael Peck* *India, South Asia* New Delhi runs an ambitious weapons program. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Unlike the missile-centric U.S. and Russian nuclear forces, India still heavily relies on bombers, perhaps not unexpected for a nation that fielded its first nuclear-capable ballistic missile in 2003. Modernization thus requires the production of new weapons, including nuclear missiles. India has 130 to 140 nuclear warheads—and more are coming, according to a recent 2018 report. “India is estimated to have produced enough military plutonium for 150 to 200 nuclear warh... read more
