Editor’s Note: It’s difficult to imagine how today’s U.S. Navy Aircraft Carrier Strike Group could be rendered both impotent and vulnerable, considering how it’s been an amazing instrument of deterrence and power projection for the past several decades. While the presence of a U.S. aircraft carrier off the coast of most potential threat nations–or within […]
The United States’ aircraft carriers have always been an almost untouchable deterrent, steel behemoths capable of projecting the full weight of the U.S. military wherever they deploy. Yet while many militaries could never hope to match the U.S. carrier fleet in size and strength, countries such as China, Iran and Russia have spent recent years adjusting their forces and […]

As we have already explained here in the past, it is a special mission aircraft equipped with all-weather radar systems and electro optical sensors that produce photo-like imagery of a large parts of the ground: these images are then used […]
Editor’s Note: None of this is shocking or surprising, but Iran’s announcement that its sights are set on advanced Flanker variants like the Su-30SM is another indication of how dire the unfolding geopolitical situation is in Southwest Asia and the Middle East, especially given the lackluster response by our own country to Iran’s predictable-yet-emboldened saber-rattling.

The chairman of the House Foreign Relations Committee demanded Wednesday that Secretary of State John Kerry explain a $1.7 billion settlement paid to Iran that some Republicans have described as a “ransom” tied to last month’s release of five American prisoners. Rep. Ed Royce, R-Calif., complained in a letter to Kerry that his committee was […]

DUBAI (Reuters) – Iran’s supreme leader has awarded medals to navy commanders for capturing U.S. sailors who entered Iranian territorial waters this month, Iran’s state media said on Sunday.
