When we talk about the future of competition for air-superiority, often we focus on the most high-profile platform - the current and future generation fighter aircraft. With cutting edge sensors and systems, new generation fighters are likely to give their pilots access to a level of information and performance beyond what even current fifth generation platforms can offer. But situational awareness doesn't have the same value if it can't be connected to a weapon system capable enough to leverage it - which the air-to-air missile comes in. In the past decade, multiple nations have fielded new missiles that challenge or...

Military, Rations, Entertainment, and History. Reviews from the distant past to current! I only post my videos on YT. This is like a virtual museum at times, opening hard to come by food relics that many times have not been filmed, or at least not in 75+ years in some cases. All of my videos are posted here on this channel only - if you see my videos on any other platform, it is not me! *Disclaimer* I've never eaten food that is beyond the safe point of consumption on this channel - and I do not support or condone...

Electric stun gun - This knife stun gun is perfect for anyone looking for a stun gun disguised option. While other self defense weapon choices look the same, this unique personal protection product is likely to have aggressors running from the sound of its maximum strength stun. This discreet stun gun is also a stun gun flashlight combo. Great for illuminating dark pathways on the journey home.

Even as global attention is pulled in a dozen different directions, the fighting in Ukraine continues amidst a winter cold that provides better conditions than the mud seasons. . Russia's offensive has focused on Avidiivka, but fighting has been hard at multiple places along the front. In this episode, we look at the recent fighting, from Avidiivka to the great Patriot missile road trip, examine the available loss data, look into the question of casualties and mobilisation (including some Sergei Shoigu math) and close out by touching on the wider sustainability issues probably deserve further discussion.

Earlier this month, Bloomberg carried an article which included claims about corruption in the PRC's Rocket Force .Those claims have gotten plenty of attention – so today, I want to look into corruption and anti-corruption campaigns in the PRC, some of the claims from the article, how we might interpret them, and what all this might mean for the PLA and the region

This video is one of many in a series created from an interview conducted by Edward C. Ezell with Eugene Stoner in 1988 at ARES Inc. in Port Clinton, Ohio. All the footage is courtesy of the Smithsonian Institution Archives. All I have done is cut some of the waiting time between tapes out and tried to fix the audio. Otherwise, what you are seeing is entirely unadulterated. Feel free to ask any questions about the various topics of the video in the comments. I will do my best to answer them.

Whatever its equipment, a military is nothing without its people. As many militaries struggle with recruitment, the armies in Ukraine grow older, and countries in Asia grapple with the implications of ageing populations, it's becoming clear that getting the right people may be as much of a challenge for forces as getting the right technology. So today, we look at that age old problem. How do militaries get people, why are so many struggling - and what might they be able to do about it?

A-10 Warthog ground attack aircraft are among the growing number of U.S. military aircraft types that have now refueled from privately owned tankers. A KC-135 from private aerospace firm Metrea refueling Warthogs during an exercise last year also marked the first time a contractor-operated tanker had ever linked up with U.S. Air Force tactical jets. The Air Force, specifically, has been increasingly making use of private aerial refueling services in the past year, which will help it reduce the burdens on its own tanker fleets. A US Air Force A-10 Warthog ground attack jet receives fuel from a KC-135 tanker...

For nearly two years now, I've been using this channel to explore questions relating to wars, defence strategy and economics. I've been able to do so because of the unwavering support from all of you. So today, as a way to welcome 2024, I'm answer your questions for a change: What are the modern roles for tactical nuclear weapons? How have Special Operations Forces been used in Ukraine? Would I rather fight a cruiser sized duck or a thousand duck sized cruisers? What can I tell you about the Perun audience? And how did this "Perun" bloke end up talking...

The global economic system is built on trade, and to trade, you need ships and safe, efficient routes. Often, that mean travelling through maritime choke points, where geography squeezes trade through a concentrated point. In the Red Sea, one of those chokepoints has come under pressure as a result of attacks by the Houthi movement based in Yemen, driving hundreds of vessels to divert to much longer routes around Africa. Now, US and Houthi forces have exchanged fire, with several Houthi boats reportedly being destroyed attempting to board a container ship. And beyond the risk of this particular campaign, the...

This is a slightly more in depth video looking around this vehicle; as this is the first time that we have seen something like this and thought it would be fun to share it all with you. We will do more videos at a later date as we do the repairs on the vehicle and take it for a full test drive but as most of you know we have to focus on the FV4005 project with the Tank Museum which will be our main focus over the next few weeks. Please see the the links below for that project...

How do you train an army to fight a war that is different from any you've ever experienced? Support for Ukraine has played a vital role in shaping the progress of the war in Ukraine to date. Ukrainian efforts have heavily leveraged munitions and systems supplied by their allies - but training has also been a key area for allied support Unlike weapon systems however, evaluating the performance of NATO's training efforts are harder to determine. Reporting tends to focus on the quantity of troops going through these programs, but less reporting focuses on whether the training properly matches the...

As we head into December, Ukraine is getting colder and the campaign friendly weather of mid-year is long gone. Despite that Russia has launched perhaps its largest offensive of 2023, targeting the salient around the Ukrainian city of Avdiivka - burning through armour and manpower in the face of a stubborn Ukrainian defence. At the same time, with it now clear Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia offensive will not reach its objectives this year, Ukraine has escalated its efforts on a different front, establishing several small bridgeheads across the Dnipro in Kherson Oblast. In this episode, I look at some of the key...
