Not if the United States has anything to say about it. Heres What You Need To Remember: In 2019 China was still in phase one. But phase two is looming as China’s economy expands and Chinese technology improves, in part owing to widespread industrial espionage. Chinese leaders have laid out a plan for deploying the world’s best-armed forces no later than 2049. If the United States is to prevent China from becoming the world’s leading military power, it needs a plan of its own. That’s th...

There's an urgent need for something of this caliber. 

The U.S. Navy recognizes that it has a problem.

Most American F-16s for decades have worn a mostly light-gray paint scheme. Since around 2012, however, the Air Force under the Have Glass V initiative slowly has been applying a new, single-tone, dark-gray livery to some F-16s.

That's why the Defense Department's 2020 budget proposal featured so many of them.

In the event of war between the United States and China in the western Pacific region, the outposts likely would be important targets for the Americans.

Do we really believe the era of low-intensity wars has ended? Heres What You Need to Remember: In again putting the A-10 on the chopping block, the Air Force is assuming it won’t ever fight anything short of a full-scale war against a peer enemy. The U.S. Air Force in its 2021 budget proposal asked Congress to let it retire 44 of its roughly 280 A-10 Warthog attack jets. It’s the second time in recent years that the flying branch has tried to slash the A-10 fleet.  It’s fair to say that,...

Why Chinas Missile Capabilities Should Terrify the U.S. Military China has conducted several missile tests in the South China Sea in recent years and placed anti-ship missiles in strategic areas which could threaten American interests.  Heres What You Need to Remember: In moving a dozen DF-26 launchers to Inner Mongolia, around 2,000 miles from the Paracels, China reportedly aims to protect the rockets from boost-phase interception. The Chinese military lobbed anti-ship ballistic missiles in...

The U.S. Defense Department’s regional command for South America  is the smallest of the department’s 10 unified commands. It permanently oversees just 1,200 personnel plus a few thousand troops and a handful of ships on temporary deployments. But that doesn’t mean the U.S. military couldn’t invade Venezuela in the event Washington makes good on past threats and orders the Pentagon to intervene in the slowly-collapsing South American country. Not, of course, that invading Venezuela i...

The  Cyclones-class patrol boats are fast and heavily armed - perfect for first response to Iranian aggression in the Persian Gulf. Heres What You Need To Remember: The Cyclones spent a decade in a kind of planning limbo. But then in 2003, the United States invaded Iraq. The patrol boats suddenly found their calling. If the United States and Iran go to war in the Persian Gulf, the U.S. Navy’s smallest warships could be the first to see combat. The Navy’s 13 Cyclone-class patrol boats --...
