    Russia Aircraft and Aerospace Programs

    Discussions about purchasing JF-17 Thunder fighters from Pakistan began 20 years ago (!). Baku was in no rush, rejecting the purchase of Block 1 and skipping Block 2. Despite purchasing 16 MiG-29s from Ukraine in 2007, abandoning the Pakistani fighters was never even discussed. We carefully and...

    It's strange. All your articles about Syria over the past year have boiled down to one theme: things are very bad and will only get worse; the Sunnis have allegedly exterminated the Alawites, and the Alawites are finishing off the last Sunnis; or the Arabs have killed the last Druze, or the...

    Live Conflict Israel-US vs Iran War (2026)

    I don't think Beijing intends to go to war with the US; it doesn't need Russia as an ally. If China has a trillion-dollar trade surplus with the US and the EU, why would it jeopardize this favorable situation for the sake of Russia and Iran's foreign policy adventures? The Russian beauty, aging...

    I wonder how they managed to achieve such a significant increase in range. Considering that this is a non-motorized munition, several options are possible: 1. Platform speed; 2. Platform altitude; 3. Reducing the weight of the glider; 4. Extending the wings. If I'm not mistaken, this is the...
