The Russian Aerospace Forces have re-equipped two transport aviation regiments with the Il-76MD-90A heavy transport aircraft, as continued production has allowed for the enhancement of aerial logistics capabilities. Commenting on the procurement, Military-Transport Aviation Commander Lieutenant General Vladimir Benediktov stated in an interview: “In 2025, the state defence procurement plan for us was completely fulfilled. We received the new Il-76MD-90A aircraft, which have already been re-equipped for both regiments.

I read this book with keen interest as I’ve always wanted to know more about the Vietnam War than was fed to us by the mainstream media.
As a helicopter pilot training at Fort Rucker in the ’80s, many of my instructors had combat flight time in the conflict. So, I had a natural curiosity to learn more.
With this riveting first-person-view account, Drew Dix delivers.
A true account of the fifty-six hour battle during the 1968 TeT offensive in Vietnam which resulted in the author being awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor.
Chinese state broadcaster CCTV has confirmed longstanding reports that J-10C fighters sold to the Pakistan Air Force won overwhelming victories in simulated air-to-air engagements against Qatar Emiri Air Force Eurofighter combat jets. Although Chinese media did not report on the specific exercises in which this occurred, Pakistani media reported that this occurred during the Zilzal-II joint air exercises in Qatar in January 2024, achieving a 9-0 score.
The U.S. Air Force has requested $5.03 billion for the development of the F-47 sixth generation fighter for Fiscal Year 2027, representing a 65 percent increase compared to Fiscal Year 2026. The request has been made as the fighter program approaches its Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) phase, with annual funding projected to remain above $3.2 billion through Fiscal Year 2030. The new phase of the program is projected to continue until late 2031, after which flight testing is scheduled to belatedly begin.
Summary and Key Points: The Soviet MiG-23 Flogger was Moscow’s first swing-wing fighter, built in the late 1960s to rival the American F-4 Phantom.
-Despite Mach 2-plus speed and over 5,000 built, it proved hard to fly, costly to maintain, and a poor dogfighter.
-Its combat record was disastrous: Syrian MiG-23s fell to Israeli F-15s and F-16s, Iraqi MiG-23s to Iranian F-14s, Libyan MiG-23s to U.S. Navy Tomcats — so bad the Soviets retired it before the MiG-21 it was built to replace.
This story makes no sense. How did David Rush get away for so many years with his serial lying about his degrees, military status, and how he was able to finagle gold and cash out of the CIA

Summary and Key Points: In the 1970s, under CNO Admiral Elmo Zumwalt, the Navy studied the CVV — a smaller, conventionally powered carrier meant as a cheaper alternative to the nuclear supercarrier.
Pitched as a “minimum-cost” ship at $550 million, its price ballooned to $1.5 billion, and the design was compromised: only 52–60 aircraft versus a Nimitz’s 90, half the catapults and elevators, fuel for barely a day. Analysts found two CVVs would cost more than one Nimitz — so America kept building supercarriers.

Summary and Key Points: The Northrop P-61 Black Widow was the first U.S. aircraft designed around radar — a night fighter that could find enemy planes five miles away in total darkness. Armed with four 20mm cannons and four .50-caliber machine guns, it hunted Japanese and German raiders across every theater of World War II. One Black Widow, “Lady in the Dark,” was credited with the last Allied air victory of the war — and the radar it pioneered became standard on every fighter since.

On Friday, U.S. military forces carried out another strike on a boat accused of trafficking drugs by sea, killing three people and pushing the death toll in these strikes to 202.
The strike took place in an unspecified part of the eastern Pacific Ocean, and it’s unclear what military asset took out the boat. Video shared by U.S. Southern Command, which announced the strike, shows a small boat exploding in a fireball. It was the 61st strike on a small vessel in the Caribbean Sea and Eastern Pacific since Sept. 2. A day later on May 30, U.S.
