Page 11 - Colt Python News Today

This classic weapon is oversized and very pleasing to the eye. Key point: There are many good revolvers, but the Python has made its mark. Unfortunately, the weapon was discontinued years ago. In the world of firearms, which gun is truly the best is difficult to quantify. The sheer amount of innovation and the multitude of designs over nearly two hundred years of handgun development makes for a crowded field. However, in the world of revolvers, there is one that is clearly head and shoulders a...

The reason is simple—the MiG-31 was built to be a home-defense interceptor, and was neither exported nor used in combat. But Moscow maintains hundreds of the fighters in its inventory as parts of its multi-layered air defense network, and will continue to do so for years to come. The Foxhound emerged as an attempt to improve on a somewhat disappointing predecessor, the MiG-25 Foxbat. The twin-engine Foxbat remains the fastest flying operational fighter, able to attain speeds over Mach 3...

Heres What You Need to Remember: Just before he put the gun to his head and pulled the trigger, the German officer penned a final note.

It forever revolutionized military sniping.

The beginning of the Su-27’s export success began with the Sino-Soviet thaw in 1989. Heres What You Need to Remember: China continues to acquire Russian jets, though this is largely in order to acquire technologies in the latest versions of the Flanker, the Su-35. China acquired these aircraft in December 2015. Supposedly, the primary item of interest is the improved engines in these aircraft, following China’s failure to get a license to produce that specific part and its own difficulties...

Will 1950s tactics work today? Heres What You Need to Remember: The cloak of night that concealed their movements in 1950 will be pierced by night vision sensors, radar and spy satellites. Mass attacks will be met by precise firepower from smart weapons. Perhaps the North Koreans havent adapted to the twenty-first century. Normal military doctrine says that an attacker should outnumber the defender by at least three to one at the point of attack. But since when is North Korea normal? The Korean...
