From what we know so far, the Tianhe CCM is scheduled to be the second flight for the CZ-5B LV. Current NET is supposed to be Q2 2021. The first CZ-5B mission is scheduled NET Oct 2020, and will carry a test article (partially boilerplate) of the new crewed spacecraft that is in active...

I'm certainly not one for forensic research...but it does seem like he pulled a handgun (especially if you listen what the fishermen say in the video). The walkie-talkie is carried by the third crew member at the back (distinguishable by a white corner dot in both photos). It is of course...

I'd assume an intuitive answer would have to include the joint HN - NSA Souda Bay base in Crete.

This reaction was pretty much expected from Iran, given what the Greek PM publicly said on his visit last week to the US.

"Taking out" SAR and optical SSO constellations in a theater specific setting is not a trivial proposition, you do know that right? Not to mention the fact that in a conventional war scenario the US would probably not even want to go there for obvious reasons (collisional cascading, even larger...

Why/how do you describe it as a dud exactly?

There have been rumors as well as some concrete indications that the frigate program is moving to another design or variant soon.

Not really surprising. Russian maritime posture focus on the littoral as well as open oceans of its surrounding region. With regards to doctrinal naval terms, the characterization adds the needed nuance for the program.

China is way behind in most specifics, but closing the gap - rapidly. It may be another decade before parity discussions will make sense, as far as conventional assets and global reach are concerned.

People in the know around the world are actually salivating about the Stunner missile system used in David's Sling. To the point that it is rumored to replace the Patriot system.

Disregarding the obvious color commentary/RT prose, this part of the article: China is actively pursuing the role of a global military power able to project its force to any corner of the earth, and the US may not have the sheer industrial capacity to compete. seems to be misunderstanding...

I don't think there is a plan for additional submarines at this juncture. The main HN programs - funded or already running - as I understand the news so far are: 1. P-3B Orion MPA upgrade/modernization 2. Meko 200HN MLU 3. Modern torps program. The latest we heard on that was about the F21...

‘We need more money’: US Navy’s top officer says the service needs more of the DoD budget By: David B. Larter - DefenseNews - 15.1.2020 If the Navy is to grow much beyond its current size, the service should get a larger slice of the budget than the Air Force and Army, the CNO says. (MC1...

Oh, point taken then. I didn't know that. Wouldn't that be a mis-characterization of the study though? For what purpose?

No, the survey never said that 31% were unemployed. What it said is that 31% of the people in the survey have either lost their jobs or know someone that has.

Here is the origin story. 83% Pakistanis worried about job security By Shahbaz Rana - Published: January 17, 2020 - TET ISLAMABAD: About 83% of Pakistanis are concerned about their job security while 31% of respondents have themselves or people known to them have lost their jobs due to...

Haftar seeks support in Greece January 17 2020 - Hürriyet Daily News Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias (R) meets with Libyan military commander Khalifa Haftar in Athens, on Jan. 17, 2020, days ahead of a peace conference in Berlin which he and the head of Tripoli's U.N.-recognised...

Oh no the news are definitely legit, this played everywhere here as I said. From a diplomatic point of view, we are seeing these last two weeks a lot of moves here in Athens by the ND government. Haftar is coming today to Athens, and will speak with Mitsotakis and Dendias. Mitsotakis came with...

The way this is played out in the media here is that this is essentially a request from the US. My understanding is that the the Defense Ministry and the Armed Forces are somewhat open to the idea (this is not the first time this has come up as a request btw), but on the diplomatic spectrum the...

If you think about it a little, this seems extremely counter-intuitive. You are essentially proposing that we split discussion threads based on news articles to two parts. One for the article itself, and one for the discussion. The reason you want to do that is because you feel that some...
