The F-4 Phantom: The Sixty-Year-Old Fighter Still Used by Iran*Sebastien Roblin* *F-4 Phantom, * It has some serious flaws but is still in use. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The Phantom still sees service. But it’s somewhat of an anomaly. The McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II is a legendary aircraft — an icon of the Vietnam War and the archetype of the third-generation jet fighter designs that entered service in the 1960s. More than 5,000 of these heavy supersonic fighters were built, and hundreds continue to serve and even see combat in several air forces today. But the Phantom’s record in air-to-air combat over Vietnam — especially ... read more

If You Can't Buy and F-35, Pick Up a Swedish JAS-39 Gripen*TNI Staff* *JAS-39 Gripen, * This Swedish plane is skyrocketing in popularity. *The aircraft that emerged was a single-engine, single-seat, canard design powered by a Volvo-Flygmotor RM12—a derivative of the F/A-18’s General Electric F404-GE-400.

When accelerated to extremely high speeds, this allowed a depleted-uranium (DU) round to smash through an unprecedented amount of armor. A tank is a fast-moving, well-protected, heavily armed behemoth designed to dominate the land battlefield. As the primary offensive weapon in any army, nations compete t... read more
