| May 22, AD 2024 | John F Di Leo
“My condolences.” “I’m so sorry for your loss.” “My
sympathies.” “May he rest in peace.” Raised as we are in Western civilization, we have an instinctive response when we hear of someone’s death, whether by natural causes, by accident, or even by murder. We think first of his or her family and friends, we naturally empathize with their sorrow, and we wish them these words and more, heartfelt and seriously. We would be sad if a loved one died, and we assume that everyone must have loved ones. Our sympathy is automatic. One wouldn’t think this would be a problem,...

News broke a few hours ago that the helicopter carrying Iranian president Ebrahim Raisi and his foreign minister, Hossein Amirabdollahian, has crashed in the mountainous, wooded terrain of Eastern Azerbaijan, with a search ongoing for the crash site. Sometimes
bad things happen, but when the President of Iran’s helicopter crashes, and his foreign minister was on the copter, too, one wonders if its more than coincidence. People are already wondering whether this was an accident or something more. It’s no secret that Iran is a worldwide state funder of terrorism. Along with Qatar, it’s the money behind both Hezbollah and...

China’s New Heavy Attack Helicopter Spotted For The First Time (Updated)
|
| |
The War Zone ^
| MAR 21, 2024 6:54 PM EDT | THOMAS NEWDICK
he latest offering in China’s seemingly unrelenting military aircraft output appears to be a heavy attack helicopter design, broadly similar in concept to the U.S. AH-64 Apache and seemingly developed from the Z-20 multirole utility transport helicopter that is widely known as China's H-60/S-70 Black Hawk clone. While
the status of the program — which may be designated Z-21 — is unclear, the suggestion is that the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) wants to rapidly field a heavier and more capable attack helicopter than those it currently operates. Author's note: article updated with new profile view for the top shot. Details...
