I still want to see Iranian supersonic anti-ship cruise missile with a ramjet engine in the next 1-3 years.

Iran promised to unveil an anti-ship ballistic missile this year. Can this missile be turned into anti-ship hypersonic missile with the ability of hitting moving US aircraft carrier 1400kms away in just 6-7 minutes? It seems like US Navy Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense System with its SM-3 and...

Unveiling of this hypersonic missile shows that: 1) Iran has developed advanced materials that are capable of withstanding the extreme temperatures and pressures of the hypersonic flight 2) Iran has advanced knowledge of the aerodynamics of hypersonic flight and can design control surfaces and...

This fighter will be unveiled in August-September as a UCAV

Good people die early and Evil people live long lives

Did they reverse engineer TV3-117 engine?

Europecentrist historians from Europe estimate that Roman Empire had a population of around 60mln people and now Americans say that population of the Roman Empire could have been as high as 100mln people and of course all these estimates don't make any sense. We can make an estimation of the...

I can answer for all Europeans and Americans that they love Gorbachev very much, even name Vodkas after him.

So if Western tanks are so good and Trophy is so effective, than what prevents you from invading Southern Lebanon and finishing off Hezbollah once and for all time for the purpose of security of the northern borders of your small country? What prevents you from taking out Hezbollah under...

APS might sound like an effective system in theory, but it was never tested in real war and it is very expensive with additional 1mln$ for Israeli Trophy system or South Korean KAPS.... When Israel said they will invade Lebanon with Merkavas equipped with Trophy APS, Hezbollah said they will...

The problem is that Shahed-136 is not Qassam rocket of Hamas with its high infrared signature and predictable flight path. Shahed-136 has low infrared signature, low radar signature, flies low, is small and difficult to intercept..... You will need more advanced and more expensive missiles to...

China might be a massive regional power at this moment, but they will certainly become a global superpower by 2035 and they will be superior to USA in many aspects. 1) Today, China is the biggest economy in the world if calculated by GDP PPP and they will certainly surpass US in nominal GDP by...

John Mearsheimer is one of the most influential political scientist who belongs to realist school of thought. Some points from the book by John Mearsheimer "Tragedy of Great Power Politics" 1) Great power is a country that has a military that can at least exhaust the strongest state in the...

Regarding defense-offence package You can defend you skies cheaper with air defense systems like Ukraine does and by targeting enemy air bases with those 100.000 drones-----and with that many drones you can devastate your enemy more effectively than with 43 Su-35 which might not even penetrate...

We can make a similar comparison with tanks and helicopters. Russia was the 2nd most powerful military in the world with a military budget of 65bln$ and Ukraine was a third world military with a budget of 5bln$ Russia had 3000 tanks and 3000 IFVs and APCs, while Ukraine was supplied with tens...

I want to compare Iranian drones (Arash-2/Shahed-136) with Iranian ballistic missiles and combat aircrafts. One Shahed-136 (50kg warhead) costs 20.000$ and one Arash-2 (150kg warhead) probably costs 70.000$ 30.000 Arash-2 drones * 70.000$ + 70.000 Shahed 136 drones * 20.000$ ==3,5 bln dollars...

The tunnels of this base look too narrow for Su-35 or Su-57, but they can be fine for Su-75 Checkmate (price: 30mln$ per unit) or J-31 (price: 70mln$ per unit)

On 8th of February---Air Force Day

There is a theory that educated women have less kids, due them being busy building their careers, while uneducated women have lots of kids. If Afghan women will be sitting at home and having kids, Afghanistan's population will explode in time when the rest of the world will experience...

"Developing countries have the potential to grow at a faster rate than developed countries because diminishing returns (in particular, to capital) are not as strong as in capital-rich countries. Furthermore, poorer countries can replicate the production methods, technologies, and institutions of...
