"A gorgeous cutaway of the A-10 tells the jet's story. Twin engines spaced wide titanium bathtub around the cockpit redundant systems everywhere and the 30-mm GAU-8 sitting at the centre of gravity. Brutal elegant engineering"

"Did you know the HAL's Tejas (LCA) programme started in 1983 The goal was to design a jet to replace the MiG-21. However delays shifting priorities and bureaucracy slowed the jet's development to a crawl. The first test flight came only in 2001. The planned Kaveri engine failed to meet power requirements. In short after four decades fewer than forty Tejas have managed to enter IAF service. 1/2"

"The Tejas with its tailless delta design composite airframe and GE F404 powerplant is a very capable light fighter. The newer Mk-1A adds an AESA radar and improved maintainability. India is now seeking exports but todays very public crash at the Dubai Airshow may (may) complicate things. It also brings unwelcome attention to a jet that has long battled a reputation as a cursed child. Anyways the Tejas has shown itself to be a resilient aircraft. The real question now is whether India will stay the course and continue backing its indigenous fighter programme. 2/2"

"Found this interesting infographic comparing the air-to-air loadouts of key PLAAF and ROCAF aircraft from a few years ago. If it were made today the Chinese J-10 J-11 and J-16 would be rocking the ultra-long-range PL-15s while the ROCAF F-16s would be shown in their upgraded F-16V standard. The air balance over the Taiwan Strait is ever changing"

"If you thought the MiG-19 was one of the lesser-known MiGs its Chinese ground-attack offspring the Nanchang Q-5 Fantan was even more obscure. First flown in 1965 nearly 1300 of these fast rugged jets were produced. It was exported widely to client states in South Asia yet - at least to my knowledge - it never saw a major conflict. Perhaps thats why it never became famous"

"On this day: XX years ago Cdr. Lawrence E. Flint Jr. lit the afterburners on his XF4H-1 and pushed it to Mach XXX at 47000 ft before launching into a breathtaking zoom climb that topped out at 98557 ft (December X 1959). In that single flight he shattered the Soviet record of 94658 ft set by the Sukhoi T431 prototype. Project Top Flight was not just a success. It was a statement Between 1959 and 1961 the Phantom went on a rampage setting XX world records. Five of them stood unchallenged until the F-15 arrived in 1975"

"Though birds of a feather the F-35A and F-35C are two very distinct aircraft. While the F-35A is optimized for conventional Air Force operations the F-35C is engineered to withstand the rigours of carrier flight - a difference evident in their forward landing gear design"

"No this isn't AI. This is a real pilotless F-86 or more precisely a QF-86F flying over China Lake. Funnily it is also a Navy Sabre.

"Looking for a cool example of measures countermeasures counter-countermeasures and counter-counter-countermeasures Here's one from Vietnam: North Vietnam introduced radar-guided SAMs that made US strike missions far more dangerous. The US answered with the Wild Weasel program sending Iron Hand flights armed with AGM-45 Shrikes to suppress Vietnamese SAM radars. SAM crews adapted fast. Once they learned how Shrike homed in they began switching their radars off until the last moment. So the Weasels countered the counter by lofting a "fan" of four Shrikes over the SAM site timed with the strike"

"The shock of Pearl Harbor had barely settled before Japan launched its blitz through Malaya. Japanese forces landed at Kota Bharu and pushed inland smashing Allied airfields and sending British and Commonwealth troops reeling. London demanded an immediate counter-punch. With the RAF crippled and the army falling back pressure fell squarely on the Royal Navy and its local commander Admiral Tom Phillips. 1/6"

Prince of Wales took one unlucky torpedo hit aft that smashed her port shaft wrecked her steering and crippled damage control. With no maneuverability she became an easy target taking four more torpedoes and a bomb before rolling over. Repulse sank at 12:33 p.m.; Prince of Wales followed at 1:19 p.m. XXX sailors perished. The Japanese only lost X aircraft and XX men. 5/6"

"Within hours both capital ships were gone - sunk by aircraft while fully operational and maneuvering at sea. It was unprecedented. Pearl Harbor showed the power of surprise but the loss of Force Z proved something deeper: the unsupported battleship no matter how modern was obsolete. December XX 1941 - not Pearl Harbor - marked the true end of the battleships reign. 6/6"
