Somewhere off the coast of Oman, in the dark, two U.S. Army aviators are treading water. Their AH-64 Apache is gone — minutes ago it was flying a patrol near the mouth of the Strait of Hormuz, and now it is at the bottom of the Gulf. They are alive, but they are in...

At the Irkutsk Aviation Plant on 25 June 2026, a two-seat jet that has spent two decades teaching student pilots how to fly lifted off on a roughly 50-minute sortie, climbed no higher than 2,000 metres (about 6,600 ft) and held its speed below 600 km/h (around 370...

For roughly sixteen hours on 23 June 2026, two of the largest combat aircraft ever built carved a long arc through the cold airspace of the European Arctic. Two Russian Tu-160 strategic bombers — the variable-sweep giants NATO calls “Blackjack”...

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...

In the early 1950s, the U.S. Navy asked an audacious question: what if a jet fighter did not need a runway, or even an aircraft carrier? What if it could simply take off from the open sea? Convair’s answer was one of the strangest warplanes ever flown — a delta-winged...
