Two-star generals do not usually gang up on Congress. This spring, twenty-two of them did. In a single letter to the House and Senate appropriators, every adjutant general who commands an Air National Guard fighter unit signed the same blunt verdict: the United States...

Somewhere over Poltava Oblast, in the dark hours before dawn on 27 June, a Ukrainian MiG-29 simply went quiet. One moment the fighter was flying a combat mission; the next, contact was gone. The jet did not come home. This is the part of the war that does not trend....

The most expensive fighter program in history just handed the U.S. Marine Corps six brand-new stealth jets that cannot see. In place of their radar, each F-35B carries a chunk of dead weight bolted into the nose to keep the jet balanced. The Marines accepted them...

It is 4:30 in the morning, Eastern time, and the M/T Kiku is doing what tankers have done through the Strait of Hormuz for a century — threading the world’s most important oil chokepoint with more than two million barrels of crude in her belly. Then a...

There are 21 B-2 Spirits in the world, and on any given day most of them are sitting in climate-controlled hangars in Missouri. So when one of these $2-billion flying wings turns up on the far side of the planet, it is never a coincidence. It is a message. This month...

Somewhere over western Maryland on Saturday, a private pilot was having an ordinary flight — right up until a fighter jet appeared off the wingtip. Around 12:20 p.m. on 20 June 2026, a small general-aviation aircraft wandered into a Temporary Flight Restriction...

A football field is 300 feet long. On the morning of 20 June 2026, that was roughly the margin between an ordinary Saturday at Boston Logan and a disaster the whole country would still be talking about. Delta Flight 2351, an Airbus A319 in from Dallas with 135 people...

Here is America’s hypersonic problem in one sentence: the missiles work, but the factory doesn’t. The United States has spent years and billions proving it can build weapons that scream through the sky at more than five times the speed of sound. What it...

A catapult launch is one of the most violent things in aviation: zero to flying speed in two seconds, a punch that rattles teeth and bends steel. The General Atomics Mojave skips it entirely. This is a drone big enough to carry missiles — and it can lumber off...

For decades, America built cruise missiles like fine watches: exquisite, devastating, and so expensive you could only afford a handful. The Rusty Dagger is the opposite philosophy bolted under a wing — cheap, simple, turbojet-powered, and meant to be fired by...

Two of the rarest sights in modern air combat shared the same patch of Arkansas sky on 16 June 2026: an F-22 Raptor and an F-35 painted in the markings of the Finnish Air Force, flying wingtip to wingtip. One was built to own the sky; the other to see everything in...

For decades, “fighter jet” meant a human strapped into a cockpit. On 17 June 2026, the U.S. Air Force quietly ended that monopoly. It signed production contracts for two jet-powered combat aircraft that have no cockpit, no ejection seat, and no pilot — and...
