Of course, now, as the world’s powers transition back toward Great Power Competition, it’s fair to say that some of these aircraft offered capabilities the United States could really use in its hangars, in case of such a high-end fight. None of these platforms are likely to be pulled out of mothballs, however, for the same reasons the F-22 program itself won’t be; because it’s been decades since the F-22 first took to the skies, and today, it would likely be just as pricey or potentially even cheaper to build a better aircraft from scratch. That’s just how technology rolls. Some of…

A middle manager at Facebook parent company Meta who is making $550,000 a year took to social media to gripe about corporate belt-tightening — which could potentially sabotage their hopes to reach $1 million of total annual compensation by 2026. The unnamed middle manager took to Blind, the social media app that offers career employees anonymity so they can post freely without worrying about retribution from their bosses. In a now-viral post titled “Angry/Worried that it’s all going to be taken away from me!,” the anonymous middle manager wrote: “I’ve fought so hard to get where I am, and now…

As pets get older, it can become harder for them to get around. Old age and illnesses can make mobility more challenging for senior dogs. But it’s also the time when you want to make your pet’s days extra special: knowing they might not have much more time left, you want to let them see the world and make memories with them. And some owners find special ways to help their old dogs get around. Shutterstock Like one man, who found a very unique way to take his dying dog on one unforgettable final trip. Carlos Fresco would go everywhere…

After a while, some pets and their owners can start to look alike. In Russell Jones’ case, pets and owners can start to act similarly as well. When Jones had to use crutches after he broke his ankle, he noticed something was wrong with his Lurcher named Billy. On walks, the dog started to limp. In a video Jones posted in the Facebook group “Lurcher Link Rescue chat,” he is seen wearing his cast and walking down a sidewalk testing out his crutches. Billy walks right alongside his owner with his front paw lifted off the ground. The family rightfully assumed their beloved…

Adaptive engine technology and other improvements could significantly boost capability but would come at a cost. ongress could be able to require the U.S. military to prepare a pair of studies about what it would take to put new engines into current and future F-35 stealth jets later in this decade. There is an entirely new powerplant under development under the Adaptive Engine Transition Program, or AETP, with multiple prototypes being tested already. The hope is that the AETP engine or some other alternative would bring a significant performance boost to all three variants of the F-35, as well as offer improved efficiencies.…

A human’s friendship with his dog may be one of the most valuable assets of his life. A teenager from Tripoli discovered a monument devoted to a dog named Buddie.He was just going for a causal walk when he noticed something in the bushes. He was eager to find out what it was, so he just started moving them. That’s how he discovered it was a pet’s remembering stone.«Good buddy, 1928 — 1941,» it was authored. «I was born a puppy, but I buried a man.» The story goes that long ago, in the place of the pet’s grave, the…

The US Air Force (USAF) will spend nearly $5 billion over 10 years to develop an engine for its future generation of air superiority fighters. The US Department of Defense (DoD) said on 19 August that the USAF awarded five contracts, each worth $975 million, to fund research and development of a propulsion system for “future air-dominance platforms”.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has officially regained his previous spot as the world’s richest person after briefly losing the spot to French businessman Bernard Arnault. Elon Musk. (Suzanne Cordeiro/For the Austin American-Statesman/TNS) Musk regained his position thanks to Tesla Inc.’s stock price surging to 70 percent this year due to investors piling on bets into riskier growth stocks. The new move from investors comes in the wake of a slowing in the pace of Federal Reserve interest-rate increases and signs of a strengthening economy. According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Musk’s net worth was boosted to $187.1 billion after the Tesla share…

Fossils discovered on a rocky beach on England’s Isle of Wight around 127 million years ago reveal that there was double trouble on the island, with a pair of large previously unknown dinosaur predators living perhaps side by side, both adapted to hunting along the water’s edge. Scientists on Wednesday announced the discovery of fossils of the two Cretaceous Period meat-eaters – both measuring about 30 feet long (9 meters) and boasting elongated crocodile-like skulls – on the southwest of the island, one of Europe’s richest locales for dinosaur remains. They are examples of a type of dinosaur called a spinosaur, known for…

Archaeologists in Israel have uncovered a trove of rare gold coins and a 900-year-old gold earring at the site of a Crusader massacre. Officials announced the discovery earlier this week, explaining that the artefacts were found at the ancient city of Caesarea on Israel’s coast. A small bronze pot, which contained 24 gold coins and the earring, was found hidden between two stones in the side of a well located in the remains of a 900-year-old house. “The coins in the cache dating to the end of the eleventh century, make it possible to link the treasure to the Crusader…

From HG Wells’ “The Time Machine” to the “Back to the Future” franchise, time travel has been a hallmark of science fiction for more than a century. Part of its appeal has been that famous physicists like Albert Einstein have come up with theories that explain weather phenomena in ways that don’t rule out the possibility of time travel. Einstein’s special theory of relativity proposes that time moves relative to an observer and is an illusion. In his 1905 theory, space and time combined into a singular entity known as “space-time”, which physicists have been able to verify. However, in…

The Badajoz UFO incident is one of the strangest UFO phenomena to have occurred in Spanish history, linked to its air force. The incident became popularized as the “Green Man of Talavera la Real” as two Spanish soldiers, José María Trejo and Juan Carrizosa Luján, claimed to have seen and shot the creature of unknown origin. Around 1:45 local time on November 12, 1976, José Maria Trejo and Juan Carrizosa were on duty (each in his own booth, about 60 meters apart) in the so-called fuel zone of the Talavera la Real airbase (Badajoz, Spain). Suddenly they heard a strange…

British resident Megan Combs recently visited the Surrey Wildlife Trust reserve in Surrey with her children and saw something very strange there. When she and her children reached the place with the characteristic name “Devil’s Punch Bowl”, she saw a white cloud of an extremely unusual shape in the sky. The cloud looked like it had been stuffed into a sandbox dice mold and then placed in the sky. Meghan posted a video and photo of the cube cloud on her Facebook page. According to her, her friend said that she would never have believed that it was real if…

Many areas on the east coast of Britain contain top-secret military installations. One island called Orford Ness, just off the coast of Suffolk, was the site of many still unrevealed chemical, biological, nuclear and radiological weapons experiments during the 1940s, 50s and 60s – and as a matter of interest has an imposing lighthouse. Some of the other bases near the coast have been leased to the US Air Force; the twin installations at RAF Bentwaters and RAF Woodbridge were two oval complexes and formed a vital part of NATO’s defence against Communist threats. It was reported that at the…

When presidents of countries, ministers or any high ranked person claim to have information about UFOs, people split into 2: some reflect their sanity, and some others really give credit, thinking of what they might actually know. But when a world leader warns of a possible alien invasion, even the most skeptical person is interested in details. Not long ago, the former president of Poland, Lech Walesa, spoke about UFOs, aliens and their role in the possible disappearance of mankind from planet Earth Lech Walesa,former president of Poland: “There are three levels of intellectual development in other galaxies, and…
