had actually put a U.S. style R&D system in place during WWII, and instead of coming up with (however pretty they look on paper) dozens of designs that never made it beyond wind tunnal designs and focused on say two or three fighter designs. For example, if they'd pushed through the first jet...

Following an investigative teev program it appears US military pilots are unable to stay awake for more than a few minutes after t/o so are regularly dosed to the eyeballs on speed (Dexadrine/amphetamine). This has the somewhat embarrassing side effect of giving them the total lack of...

What would be sensible strategies/weapons for a middle-ranking country to employ if it thought it is likely to be involved in a war against the USA or other Western countries, say in the next 10 years? I think one strategy would be to use large numbers of low cost cruise missiles (LCCM). The...

It takes time to wind up and has a small projectile, so how does the M61 really stack up against, say, the BK27 og Giat 30mm as far as dogfighting is concerned? Even with the PGU28? Is shot density the primary factor to look at? Regards...
