America's Fleet of B-1 Bombers Is in Bad Shape*David Axe* *B-1 Bomber, United States* The B-1’s readiness woes could force the Air Force to buy the B-21s more quickly, as the older swing-wing bombers might not last into the 2030s. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Round-the-clock operations took a toll on the 1980s-vintage warplanes. The Air Force twice in 2018 and 2019 grounded the B-1 fleet following mechanical failures. Just seven of the U.S. Air Force’s 61 B-1 bombers are fully mission-capable, South Dakota senator Mike Rounds revealed on July 30, 2019. The B-1 shortfall could weigh on the Air Force’s plans for a new b... read more

The Tory Surrender to Covid
The Tories and their press like their Second World War similes, so here's one for them. Boris Johnson likes to affect a Churchillian pose, but rather than fighting the Omicron variant on the beaches or, to be blunt, anywhere, he's raised the white flag. But this is something worse then Neville Chamberlain's appeasement policy or, for that matter, the French authorities who declared Paris an open city just before the German army arrived. No, Johnson and his government are the Covid equivalent of Vidkun Quisling and his collaborationist government in Norway during the Nazi occupation... read more

“Faceless - nameless- shameless”That BBC article that so got my goat last night - *BBC seeks swift response to bus anti-Semitism story complaints* - remains unchanged. David Collier isn't impressed with it either and makes a further point: This is part of the problem. Look at the article. A typical BBC report. Not a single name attached to it. The identities are all hidden - no byline, just an unnamed 'spokeswoman'... an anonymous article with no accountability. Faceless - nameless- shameless. That's the BBC. read more

What 'Newsnight' was doing in late 2016There's a video doing the rounds this weekend of *Newsnight* pulling a stunt and mocking a call by a Conservative MP for the BBC to play *God Save the Queen* every night by playing the Sex Pistols' *God Save the Queen*, introduced with a straight face by Kirsty Wark. Though the same Conservative MP [Andrew Rosindell] has repeated his call this week, that *Newsnight* stunt dates from November 2016, back when Ian Katz was the programme's editor. He was fond of those kind of japes. I'm surprised we didn't cover it back then. *UPDATE*: Whoops. Well, that video, via Alex Belfield, h... read more

A F-35 Deployment to Europe Could Deter Russia from Invading Ukraine*Kris Osborn* *F-35A, Europe* F-35s would be able to provide air support for Ukraine in the event of a ground attack by Russian forces. Close air support from the United States and NATO allies could be vital to help defend Ukraine if Russia chooses to invade. Ukraine is already armed with American-produced Javelin anti-tank missiles to engage Russian armored vehicles. A mix of high-altitude bombers, reconnaisance aircraft, drones, and manned fighters would all be useful for providing air support in Ukraine. While the legendary A-10 Warthog is known as a standout close air suppor... read more

Why the B-21 Raider Could Be Armed With Air-to-Air Missiles*David Axe* *B-21 Raider, United States* There is some precedent for a bomber aircraft with a secondary air-to-air mission. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The A-12 was designed to carry two AIM-120 medium-range air-to-air missiles in addition to air-to-ground weaponry. But the U.S. Defense Department canceled the A-12 in 1991. The U.S. Air Force’s new B-21 Raider stealth bomber could fly as early as 2021. And at least one Air Force general believes the new Northrop Grumman-made bomber could gain air-to-air capabilities in order to help it fight its way to its target. There... read more
