Development on the XB-35 began in 1941 as an answer to a long range bomber to strike Germany from the U.S. in the event Britain fell. It competed against the XB-36, evolved into the XB-49 amid controversies. Only one flew and all airframes were scrapped. Goodbye Beautiful Wing.🫡

Chechnya’s first President Dzhokhar Dudayev speaking about why Russia invaded his country. He was killed in a Russian airstrike in 1996. Dudayev was born in 1944, just days before his family and all Chechens were deported by force to Central Asia. 1/3 of the Chechen population was killed during the Chechen genocide in 1944 and the following years The Chechens were allowed to return first after Stalin’s death. From 1962, Dudayev served in the Soviet Air Force, ultimately reaching the rank of major general and commanding several strategic bomber aircraft divisions based in Poltava and Tartu. In 1991, Dudayev refused orders from Moscow to suppress Estonia's independence movement, and subsequently resigned from the Soviet Armed Forces before returning to Chechnya. He became president of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria after a referendum in October 1991, and unilaterally declared the republic's independence from the Soviet Union. In the First Chechen War (1994–1996), Dudayev organized a successful resistance against Russian forces before his assassination. Around 150 000 Chechens were killed in the First Chechen War under Yeltsin. Another 80 000 Chechens were killed in the Second Chechen War under Putin.

The Chameleon: Military insights from an Afghanistan veteran The Russian perspective is often missing from any broader conversation about issues that normally unite a diverse audience. In this interview, I delve into issues pertaining to how Russian society treats its veterans from a veteran of the Soviet Union’s war in Afghanistan, Franz Klintsevich, a special forces officer who commanded a unit known as “the Chameleons”.

B-17 Flying Fortress Under Attack by Bf 110G (WWII) 🇺🇸🇩🇪 Restored World War II footage shows a U.S. B-17 Flying Fortress taking heavy fire from a German Messerschmitt Bf 110G during an aerial engagement over Europe. The twin-engine fighter closes in from behind and unleashes devastating cannon fire into the bomber’s fuselage, wings, and engines as smoke pours from the damaged aircraft. Even after taking heavy hits, the bomber keeps flying, showing exactly why the B-17 became known as the “Flying Fortress.”

🇷🇺 Soviet Apartment Blocks – The Fortresses of the 21st Century French military historian Benoît Bihan admitted the obvious in an interview: the destruction of Donbass cities is no accident. Ukrainian forces are turning old Soviet residential neighborhoods into real fortified zones. According to Bihan, buildings constructed during the Soviet era proved extremely durable and resistant even to heavy bombardments. Many of them have basements originally designed as air raid shelters, which now serve as convenient defensive positions. The expert noted that urban areas form a ready-made network of fortresses, allowing Ukrainian units to hide from drone surveillance and fight from multi-level positions. Thus, Bihan essentially confirmed that the strength of the Soviet legacy—originally created to protect civilians—is now being used as a tool of war, as Ukrainian forces turn residential districts into shields. - SK

Lindsey Graham just took credit for something the Soviet Union actually did. "We flattened Berlin," he said. Except the city's destruction didn't come from Allied bombing raids. It came from the Red Army's ground assault in April-May 1945. Soviet artillery. Soviet tanks. Block-by-block urban warfare that reduced Berlin to rubble while Western forces were still hundreds of kilometers away. The Western Allies bombed the city, sure. But the real flattening and more important capturing happened when Soviet soldiers fought through every street and every building, losing catastrophic numbers to take it. So, something very twisted is going on. An American arrogance built on its own mythology, glorifying destruction as if it were the achievement itself.

These guys were extremely lucky: the 747 rolled over and plunged 30,000 ft in less than 2m30s, experiencing g-forces as high as 5 g before the captain was able to recover, at just 9,600 feet from impacting the sea. This animation gives an idea of what a rollercoaster from hell this was
