The British Army of the Vistula

By James Hasik

Concerns about the implications of Brexit to European security may be overblown.

The USAF’s flying coke machine

By James Hasik

The next attack aircraft may take a total rethinking of ground support. When a senior Air Force official offered me a correction some months ago, a Marine colonel friend of mine suggested that I “tell him to stop bothering you and to get back to trying to kill the A-10.” We may actually now be […]

Can Aerospace and Defense Avoid US Automakers’ Mistakes?

By Steve Grundman

At the end of 2014, the CEO of naval shipbuilder Huntington Ingalls Industries, Mike Petters, delivered an address at the Atlantic Council entitled, “Playing the Long Game”.

Could Joint Strike Fighters really be a low-cost option?

By James Hasik

If they could just control enough drones, perhaps F-35s could make war affordable again. The Danish fighter competition is over, it would seem, as the parliament has officially approved a program for 27 F-35 Lightning IIs. As I noted last week, the purchase price remains indeterminate, so the Danish Defense Ministry may be seriously unprepared […]
