Earlier this year, the United States announced a new round of sanctions to be placed on the Russian government due to an apparent cyber attack on the American electrical grid that granted the Kremlin access to a number of essential components of the nation’s energy infrastructure. While the attack was reportedly identified and rooted out […]
As a self-described space-nerd that uses a white noise machine that produces the ambient sounds of the starship Enterprise to drown out the melodious tones of nursery rhymes and temper tantrums taking place just outside my office door, it’s safe to say that I was excited to hear that there was a Neil Armstrong biopic […]
Sometimes it can be tough to appreciate the logic behind which defense technologies the United States Government deems suitable for export. The F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, for instance, is regularly touted as the most advanced aircraft ever developed, but Uncle Sam is happy to distribute them willingly to paying nations with friendly relations to help […]
China’s DF-21D anti-ship missile, a hypersonic platform with a range of nearly a thousand miles, could arguably be seen as a tailor made threat to American military strategy overseas. The U.S. maintains not only the largest carriers in the world, but the largest fleet of them, allowing its Navy to deploy more military might from […]
Late last week, as the Astronaut and Cosmonaut crew of the International Space Station slept, controllers noticed a slight but obvious drop in air pressure. The drop wasn’t considered life threatening, so the decision was made to leave the crew sleeping and inform them in the morning. Once the crew got up, the hunt was […]
A new report released by the independent watchdog organization Project on Government Oversight (POGO) alleges that the defense contractor responsible for the development and production of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter downgraded no fewer than 19 critical issues plaguing the aircraft as they approached the September 15 deadline for the aircraft’s initial testing and evaluation […]
The 2017 Netflix film “War Machine” opens and closes in tragically comedic fashion, with a new commander taking the helm of the American effort in Afghanistan, intent on turning the tides of the longstanding conflict in a way his predecessors proved unable. The beats are the same, the score is the same, and, as the […]
The F-35 Joint Strike Fighter has long been touted as the most advanced fighter on the planet, in no small part because the aircraft was purpose-built to reduce how visible it is to opponents while simultaneously offering an as-yet unprecedented array of sensors and pilot systems Lockheed Martin claims will allow pilots to see more, […]
According to reports out of the region, the U.S. Navy Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Jason Dunham intercepted a small sailboat in the Gulf of Aden near Yemen on Tuesday. Navy officials stated that personnel from the destroyer asked the small boat’s crew permission to come aboard as a part of a broader US Naval […]
On Tuesday, a naval mine appeared floating in the waters off the coast of Bainbridge Island in Washington State, not far from Kitsap Naval Base. The contact-style mine seemed to appear out of thin air in the heavily trafficked waterway just outside of Seattle, prompting officials to instruct locals to shelter in place while Navy […]
Russia has reportedly deployed ten warships with three more joining en route to the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Syria, making for the single largest Russian flotilla to reach Syrian shores since the Kremlin began providing direct military support to embattled President Bashar al Assad, and is among the largest demonstrations of Russian naval […]
Last year, Russia’s held a massive series of war games they refer to as “Zapad,” or “West.” The exercises, which usually happen along Europe’s eastern flank every four years, always draw NATO’s attention, in large part because Russia has long been openly dishonest about the size and scope of the drills. In 2011, Russia signed […]
