Rumour has it that it will be equipped with the mk56 vls for ESSM,as it can be mounted on deck.(6,8 or 12 module, probably 6 as they're counting the pennies).

In the Kargil war,Indian AF dominated the skies now,I'm not so sure.

On paper ,it sounds like a good plan, in reality, this isn't 1945 anymore. Russia isn't the USSR, nor are 450 million EU citizens ready prey for them.US cover is desired, but not really necessary. The current world economic order is the US own doing,they can't flip the table just because they...

Imagine these guys spend 1.2-1.4% on defence.Well, probably, most if it goes to the Navy, the Air Force gets a little, while the land Force is mostly neglected. Priorities, I guess, when you don't have Russia within throwing distance.

Romania banned him,not because he's far right, but because important sums of money pushed his campaign, without declaring from where those money come from.There was an obvious interference of a foreign power (Russia).Every candidate must be transparent with his campaign funds, and his backers...
