Military Aviation History

The Ukrainian-Russian war has resulted in much discussion on the tactical and operational use of drones (UAV & RPA) but where does Ukraine's capabilities come from? Join Chris as he talks to Dr. Julia Muravska about the impact of the 2014 conflict on Ukraine's emerging drone industry, the current developments in terms of R&D and construction, as well as further potential of collaboration with NATO and the EU.

Another F-35 crash, how many is that now? If you are wondering about that question, look no further than this video. Join Chris has he goes through the accident and mishap data from USAF to figure out if F-35 really does have a lot of major accidents (Class A/B) or if this might just be a case of availability heuristics!
