  1. First part of a long series which will explain the goals, trends and capabilities since the WW II.
  2. In Vietnam not only because of the lack of RWR was the issue. Check the loadouts of F-105, A-6, A-4, A-7, F-4s and other planes what carried and from where. The range + loadout for the F-104 was simply not in the scale what US demanded. They built large and expensive plane to themselves compared to rest of the world in the '60s. The smaller F-104, A-4 and other planes were just heritage of the past. Until the F-16 I cannot recall any US supersonic fighter which was under 10 tons empty weight.

  4. Mythbusting about F-104 Starfighter fighter losses and capabilities. Overview of the evolution of flight safety for fighter jets. ps. I used my own voice because the community voted on this option.
  5. Here is a video series about the Soviet Homeland air defense systems. The first two episodes were released on Binkov's Battleground channel, this is the 3rd. (Links are in the video description). There isn't any air defense topic so I opened here. I guess air defense is aviation related. The series will include the following systems. SA-1 / S-25 Berkut (done) SA-2A,B,F / Sa-75 Dvina, SA-2C + SA-2E / S-75 Desna + S-75M Volkhov (done) SA-3 / S-125 Neva SA-5 / S-200 Angara, Vega, Dubna SA-10A&B, SA-20, SA-21 /S-300PT&PS, S-300PMU1/2, S-400 S-350 Following these can come the IADS equipment (Vektor, Senhez, etc) and US SAMs, Nike + BOMARC, HAWK and PATRIOT. The whole army air defense of the USSR + WPAC is a different topic which also will be presented.
  6. Detailed explanation of the Cold War A-10A and the Avenger. 95% Cold War related content 5% post Cold War COIN.
