I hadn’t heard this story before. I wonder how many others there are?
Asymmetric warfare
It has been said that the for all the technological advantages of the advanced Western powers, they are ill equipped to fight modern terrorism that uses non-traditional methods and uses the structure of the open, Western welfare state societies against themselves. Here and here are articles on an interesting exploration of the weaknesses of the Western welfare state. The United Kingdom has had a similar issue for years. To win the war against the barbarians, Western societies must find a way to deal with these asymmetric threats. War isn’t just about guns and tanks and airplanes anymore.

The Israelis are apparently using the F-35 in combat. After all the complaints, it will be interesting to see how it performs in the real world.

Boxer APC
Australia is buying the German-made Boxer APC. For you modelers out there, there is at least one 35th scale kit of the Boxer, and more importantly, one in God’s One True Scale.
Russian missile update
Previously posted about this new missile here. Now, there are reports that it has failed in 4 out of 4 tests. Story here.
Russia’s latest anti-ship missile
Story here. Interesting that they are using the MiG-31 as the carrier for the missile. I have my doubts as to its advertised effectiveness.
