Very scarce data, even two days ago: https://www.jpost.com/Israel-News/Israels-navy-tests-new-long-range-heavy-torpedo-560345

"Domain Name Suspended"!!!

A recent (2014) and very interesting current times submarine film: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Sea_(film)

Just the same outcome from Bellingcat 3 years ago!

Add/modify some loadout with R-77-1 (#16426) to Su-30SM (#11671) (not in Su-30M2, #10465). Other aircrafts employing R-77-1 to add are at least the Syrian MiG-29SM from 2012. (Sources late in the day, I hope)

The two new Chinese specialized fighter-size jammer aircrafts: J-16D/JD-16: land-based, AESA radar, no IRST, ESM (wingtips), no gun, IOC perhaps 2019. http://chinese-military-aviation.blogspot.com.es/p/attack-aircraft.html J-15D/J-17/JD-15: carrier-based, AESA radar, no IRST, ESM (wingtips), no gun, canards, IOC perhaps 2020. http://chinese-military-aviation.blogspot.com.es/p/fighters-ii.html

I see Turkish base Ankara-Akinci is duplicated in the HCDB2 (51757 Red and 52259 Blue). Thanks.

F-35A Block 3F can employ now from March 2018 AIM-9X (Probably AIM-9X Block II), 25mm internal gun and SDB (Probably GBU-53): http://www.f-16.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=54&t=53942

Unveiled Chinese factory elaborating metamaterials for cloak J-20. Short but interesting article and video: http://www.newsweek.com/china-says-it-can-make-fighter-jets-invisible-cloaks-made-metamaterials-842167

I see in the DB Italian F-35A are equipped with Meteor (and IRIS-T), scheduled to enter service in 2017 with Italian Eurofighter, but probably not in service yet: https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meteor_(missile)

Italian F-35A achieved IOC on air-to-air role for now. Ónly 5xF-35A available at start, apparently equipped with only 4xAIM-120C-5. IOC from 1 March 2018: https://theaviationist.com/2018/03/08/the-italian-f-35a-stealth-jets-declared-operational-in-the-air-to-air-role/

I know radar ranges are ever contested, and usually don't write about it to avoid irresoluble feuds. But the last week discovered one or some Korean Wikipedia editors have detailed some radar ranges compilations and number of T/R modules (From OSINT) on many radar types entries on Korean Wikipedia: https://ko.wikipedia.org/wiki/AN/SPY-1 And here Chinese radar ranges (Obviously South Koreans are very interested on it!): https://ko.wikipedia.org/wiki/346%EC%8B%9D_%EB%A0%88%EC%9D%B4%EB%8D%94

Regrettably a Burke has 90-96 VLS cells with 8200-9600 tons, a Bunker Hill 122 VLS cells with 9600 tons, and a Zumwalt only 80 VLS cells with 14600 tons !!!!!!!

Yes, also for me a SA-6: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/46/2P25_TEL_2K12_Kub_system_Rear_View_2017-12-24.jpg

Is Israel Turning Against the F-35?http://nationalinterest.org/blog/the-buzz/israel-turning-against-the-f-35-24431

Probably shoot-down by very long range SAM (S-400?) when chasing after Iranian drones: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-43014081

Great article with interesting links: http://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/18318/shock-trials-or-no-the-navys-newest-supercarrier-is-still-an-unreliable-debacle

I don't want to do spoilers or tell-a-tale, but this week I did rewatch this TV series (I saw it probably 1982) and surprisingly the plot is directly Cold War related! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Nightmare_Man
