El avión de la Guerra Fría que se convirtió en un asesino de drones
Regresó a Portsmouth el 11 de octubre de 2025, con el indicativo TABOR61, y su morro estaba adornado con dos pequeñas siluetas de drones tipo Shahed junto a la figura de Ares. El A-10C de la Guardia Nacional Aérea de Idaho acababa de terminar seis meses en el área de responsabilidad del CENTCOM.
La mayor base estadounidense en Oriente Medio está construyendo búnkeres.
On March 3, 2026, an Iranian ballistic missile got through the air defenses surrounding Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar. No one was killed. But the message was impossible to ignore: the largest U.S. military installation in the Middle East — home to the air operations...
Irán ataca una base aérea estadounidense en Arabia Saudita.
For thirty years, Prince Sultan Air Base has been the quiet backbone of U.S. air power in the Gulf — a vast installation in the Saudi desert, three hours’ drive from Riyadh, that has hosted American forces through Desert Storm, Iraqi Freedom, and every crisis in...
850 Missiles in Four Weeks: Is America Running Out?
The U.S. military has fired more than 850 Tomahawk cruise missiles at Iran in four weeks of war. That number — buried in a Military Times report on March 27 — has set off alarm bells inside the Pentagon. Not because the campaign isn’t working. But because of...

Por qué lo llaman la Víbora

Operation Bolo: The Trap That Broke North Vietnam’s Air Force
January 2, 1967. Colonel Robin Olds — World War II ace, Vietnam War wing commander, and possibly the most dangerous man ever to strap into a fighter jet — had a problem. North Vietnam’s MiG-21s were shooting down American aircraft with near impunity. The rules...
The Enemy Pilot Who Escorted Us Home
Franz Stigler had one kill to go. One more aircraft, and he would earn the Knight’s Cross — the highest military honour the Luftwaffe could bestow. He had fought across North Africa and was now flying Bf 109s over Germany, defending the Reich from the waves of...
La cola que conquistó MiG Alley
In the summer of 1951, American F-86A pilots over North Korea were dying. Not because the MiG-15 was faster. Not because the North Korean and Chinese pilots were better. They were dying because at around Mach 0.86 — the speed at which the Sabre’s tail control...

A trece millas sobre el sur de California, moviéndose aproximadamente una milla cada dos segundos, el mayor Brian Shul y su oficial de reconocimiento en el asiento trasero, Walt, monitoreaban las comunicaciones de radio del Centro de Los Ángeles cuando comenzó el espectáculo.
