Why the Su-35 Flanker May Be Russia's Best Dogfighter*Sebastien Roblin* *Su-35, Russia* The Su-35 may be the best jet-age dogfighter ever made, but whether that will suffice for an air-superiority fighter in the era of stealth technology remains to be seen. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The Su-35 Flanker family of aircraft is supermaneuverable—meaning it is engineered to perform controlled maneuvers that are impossible through regular aerodynamic mechanisms. The Sukhoi Su-35 Flanker-E is the top Russian air-superiority fighter in service today, and represents the pinnacle of fourth-generation jet fighter design. It will rema... read more

The United States Has Nothing Like China's GJ-11 Drone*Kris Osborn* *Drones, * A stealthy armed drone such as this, able to carry and fire glide bombs, or precision-strike air-to-ground missiles may not yet have an operational U.S. equivalent, despite appearing to be modeled after several U.S. stealthy aircraft designs. China plans to unveil an underneath look at the internal weapons bay on its Gongi-11 (GJ-11) stealthy attack drone, an armed, unmanned platform that first emerged at a Chinese parade in 2019.

Turkey’s Drones and Proxies are Turning the Tide of War*Will Smith* *Turkey, Middle East* Turkey has shown that the combination of drones and proxy forces can radically alter how asymmetrical and regional conflicts are fought, just as the advent of close air support revolutionized fighting in the twentieth century. In the fall of 2020, as Armenia and Azerbaijan fought a brutal war in the contested Nagorno-Karabakh region, Turkish-made drones and Syrian mercenaries recruited by Turkey supported the Azerbaijani military on the front lines. While the arrival of Syrian fighters in the Caucasus may have been a shocking development, it wa... read more
