In a year that reshaped the global combat aviation landscape, the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II emerged as the single most significant fighter aircraft program in the world. Of the roughly 500 fighter jets delivered globally in 2025, a remarkable...
For much of aviation history, the main way for military aircraft to avoid radar detection was brutally simple: stay out of the radar’s line of sight. In the early days of air defense, that usually meant flying low—hugging the terrain...
The Rockwell B-1 Lancer occupies a strange and revealing place in the history of American airpower. Few combat aircraft better reflect the intellectual turbulence of Cold War strategy, where advances in radar, missiles, and nuclear doctrine repeatedly upended assumptions that...

The United States today fields the most advanced and combat-proven multirole fighter aircraft in the world. At the center of that dominance is the F-35 Lightning II, widely regarded as the most capable all-around multirole fighter ever to enter service....
The Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor remains the most powerful fighter jet in the world. Yet with the widespread introduction of its younger, more numerous cousin—the F-35 Lightning II—a persistent question continues to surface in defense circles: is the F-22 still...
