Meet the Secret MiG 1.44: Russia's 1st 5th-Gen Stealth Fighter
Mark Episkopos, The National Interest - 3 hours ago
*Mark Episkopos* *Security, Eurasia* The Su-57 was the second try. The first was ill-fated. Over the prior decade, Russia’s foray into fifth-generation jet fighter development has become synonymous with the upcoming Su-57. But the Su-57 was only Russia’s second attempt at developing a fifth-generation aircraft, preceded by several decades with an altogether different project. This is the story of the ill-fated MiG 1.44. In 1979, Soviet high command determined that a new generation of fighter aircraft was needed to ensure the competitiveness of the Soviet Air Force (VVS) into th...

China Says Russia's Su-57 Stealth Fighter Has "Stealth-Killing" Radar

*Mark Episkopos* *Security, * Are they right? The Su-57 completely 'trashes' the latest American fighters like the F-35—at least, according to Chinese media. A few years back, Chinese defense news outlet Mil.news.sina *published an analytical piece* on the state of Russia’s arsenal. The article looked to the Su-57, Russia’s upcoming fifth generation stealth fighter, as a case study in the failures and successes of Russia’s ambitious, decades-long campaign to modernize its armed forces. Whereas other fifth-generation fighters—most prominently, the US F-35—are strategic weapons, ...

Last Friday, three days before a crucial meeting of the World Trade Organization, progressives in the trade, faith, labor, consumer, and human rights communities sent an urgent request to the Biden administration.

I’m currently facing a felony prosecution in Wright County after exposing Iowa Select Farms killing thousands of pigs via “ventilation shutdown," which involves shutting down a building’s vents as heat and steam are pumped in. The practice was so egregious that employees at the company sought the support of Direct Action Everywhere, the animal rights group I organize with, in exposing and ultimately stopping it. As recently reported by the Intercept, a high-level executive at the company was fired for raising his concerns, and FBI agents were called in to try to flip a whistleblow...

*Mark Episkopos* *Security, Asia* This is one really old and backward military force. *Here's What You Need to Know*: North Korea's numerical personnel superiority is not without significant caveats. North Korea’s defense budget occupies a staggering 23% of its GDP, by far the highest proportion of any 21st-century country. The DPRK’s massive military outlays have gone, in no small part, towards sustaining the fourth-largest standing army in the world. There is little question that North Korea’s prodigious ground forces are, and will be, the backbone of its capacity to wage conv...

"Western Civilisation" v "Enlightenment Civilisation"
Peter Cresswell, Not PC - 7 hours ago
I recently came across something I think is important in the way we think about our values -- or at least, in the way we frame our support for what we call "civilisation." In this vein, writer Robert Tracinski makes a strong case that we should come out against “Western Civilisation.” And I think he's dead right. But hold hard there: * I am, obviously, not against Western Civilization as a phenomenon, as a set of ideas and values. But I’ve decided it’s time to move on from the term “Western Civilisation,” which is increasingly obsolete and was always a bit vague and misleadin...
