    Featured Russia Teases 'Fundamentally New' Military Aircraft to Be Unveiled

    Lol..! Hopefully this is not to imply that the Russians has successfully stolen a tabletop plastic display model of a non-existent US fighter jet and turn it into reality...! 😆 That said this Northrop model looks a lot like a scaled down single engine version of their YF-23... The Mig models...

    Japan defence paper warns for first time of crisis over Taiwan

    Their politicians may be able to make such statements, but I strongly doubt the general Japanese public has the will (or the stomach) to shed blood for Taiwan (or for anyone else) except to defend themselves... 75+ years of US pacification has totally pacified the Japanese martial spirit...
