What The Leaked Video Tells Us About The F-35 Crash From The British Flag Ship Carrier The HMS Queen Elizabeth
*SandBoxx:* *What leaked footage tells us about the British F-35 crash* On November 17, a British-flagged F-35 Joint Strike Fighter crashed shortly after takeoff during routine flight operations from the British flag ship carrier, the HMS Queen Elizabeth. Now, leaked footage of the incident shows that the aircraft never even left the deck of the vessel before plummeting off the edge into the water below. As you can see in the footage, the F-35 is approaching the ramp at end of the carrier’s flight deck when it seems to decelerate at the worst possible time. As it reaches the ... read more
The F-35C Will Define the Power Projection of the U.S. Carrier Strike Group
*Mark Episkopos* *F-35C, * As a fifth-generation stealth fighter, the F-35C is more survivable than the Super Hornet. *Here’s What You Need to Remember: *The Navy aims to accept as many as 273 F-35C fighter jets into service, a procurement that will transform U.S. naval aviation and define the power projection capabilities of the American carrier strike group for decades to come. Unmatched in its performance and versatility, the F-35C fighter jet is set to revolutionize the Navy’s carrier air wing. *The Variants * Although commonly referred to in the singular, Lockheed Marti... read more
America's B-1 Bombers are in Terrible Shape
*David Axe* *B-1 Bombers, * The B-21 can't come soon enough. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *And 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. 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 bomber. Fifteen of the swing-wing B-1s are in depots for maintenance. Thirty-nine aircraft are down for inspections, Rounds said during a... read more
Millennium Challenge: Iran Destroyed America In a War Game
*David Axe* *Iranian Military, Persian Gulf* Something to keep in mind. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *If Iran actually were to deploy Van Riper’s brutally effective tactics, it just might inflict even more damage than Van Riper’s own hamstrung forces did in their simulated, and rigged, war. As tensions escalate in the Persian Gulf region, it’s worth recalling a 2002 Pentagon war game in which a U.S. Marine Corps played the part of an enemy commander waging a bloody defensive campaign against a much more powerful U.S. force. Lt. Gen. Paul Van Riper’s own hodgepodge of troo... read more

New update: Let’s stop Covid passes across the UK
Last week, Scotland dropped plans to expand their vaccine passport scheme and in fact added testing as an option. We've reviewed their new 70 page Covid passport report, and it's damning - it found no evidence at all, in two months of their vaccine passport scheme, that it had any benefit to public health.

"A Look to the Heavens"
"A gorgeous spiral galaxy some 100 million light-years distant, NGC 1309 lies on the banks of the constellation of the River (Eridanus). NGC 1309 spans about 30,000 light-years, making it about one third the size of our larger Milky Way galaxy. Bluish clusters of young stars and dust lanes are seen to trace out NGC 1309's spiral arms as they wind around an older yellowish star population at its core. Not just another pretty face-on spiral galaxy, observations of NGC 1309's recent supernova and Cepheid variable stars contribute to the calibration of the expansion of the Universe. St... read more
