Why Is Saudi Arabia Buying a Billion-Dollar Ship The Navy Doesn't Even Want?
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, * Threats from the sea? *The kingdom’s enthusiasm for the Littoral Combat Ship may seem curious given that the U.S. Navy has infamously struggled with the vessels’ reliability, cost overruns, lack of firepower, and inability to conveniently slot in different “mission modules” as had originally been advertised.

How the U.S. Navy Planned to use Battleships to Destroy Japan in an Invasion
*Robert Farley* *History, United States* Think attacks from offshore during World War II if America had invaded the home islands. In mid-1945 the U.S. Navy (USN) had an unusual, and unexpected, problem. With the naval war well in hand, the USN had plenty of battleships and little use for them. Had the United States eventually invaded Japan, these battleships would have offered gunfire support to amphibious assaults and to coastal movements, as they had since the beginning of the island-hopping campaign. But with the remnants of the Imperial Japanese Navy uninterested in a fight... more »

Russia Is Going to Get 76 Su-57 Stealth Fighters (But There Is a Problem)
*Charlie Gao* *Security, Europe* They won't be fully ready until 2028. In July 2019, Russia announced a major purchase of its fifth-generation stealth air superiority fighter, the Su-57. As the order is only for seventy-six aircraft by 2028, some are skeptical of whether this is true “mass production” for the Su-57, given the constant delays and revisions in the program. Recent Western competitors to the Su-57 like the F-35 have been produced in the hundreds. But a look at contemporary Russian aircraft production and procurement, as well as the Soviet Su-27 program suggests that... more »

It’s more likely that they’re actually panicking about how quickly their support is plummeting with a demographic they carried in 2016.
