Russia's new hypersonic missile system, which President Vladimir Putin claims is "invulnerable" to US defenses, will enter service in 2019, the Russian leader said after a test of the missile. #CNN #News

The Cold War locked the United States and Soviet Union into a tense struggle for global influence and control. The first purpose-built American spy plane to fly over the Soviet Union was the Lockheed U-2. Neither fast nor stealthy, the U-2’s tactical advantage was that it could supposedly fly above soviet radar and air defenses.

Yet even before the U-2 began surveillance missions, there were already plans for the next generation of spy plane. The need for a U-2 successor became more pressing as Soviet radars had tracked the U-2 since the very first reconnaissance flight. In 1960, a Soviet surface to air missile downed a U-2 deep within soviet airspace, heightening tensions between the two Cold War rivals. If America was to continue vital reconnaissance missions over the Soviet Union, it would need an aircraft with a combination of incredible speed, altitude and stealth.

In 1959, the CIA chose Lockheed over rival Convair to build the next generation of spy plane. Lockheed’s highly classified spy plane would be known as the A-12. Originally designed for the CIA for reconnaissance, the A-12 was also developed as an interceptor prototype, along with a variant that could launch an unmanned reconnaissance drone. The SR-71 Blackbird, a later variant developed for the Air Force would go on to serve for decades while the other variants were quickly retired. Nearly 60 years after their first flight, the SR-71 and its A-12 successors remain the fastest air breathing jets to ever fly. Lockheed’s engineers had to innovate many aspects of the aircraft from unique engine characteristics, stealth features, to the extensive use of titanium for the first time in an aircraft.

For years, the SR-71 Blackbirds were practically invulnerable, being able to outfly and out climb any threat, but by 1980s, Mig-31s and a new of generation of surface to air missiles began to erode the aircraft’s impunity. The SR-71 Blackbirds were finally retired from service in 1998. These reconnaissance aircraft were enormously expensive to operate and politics and infighting for defense budgets eventually had the SR-71s days numbered. Advances in spy satellites, aerial drones and the SR-71’s inability to deliver surveillance data in real time, diminished some of the plane’s utility. #SR71 #Blackbird #SpyPlanes

After President Trump spoke about the dire situation in Venezuela at the UN General Assembly, how would that President Nicolas Maduro respond to Trump? Maduro told special correspondent Ryan Chilcote in a rare interview in Moscow on Wednesday that “the time of U.S. interference” in Latin America and the Caribbean should end, and denied that his nation was suffering from a food crisis.

Correspondent Martin Markovits takes an in-depth look into the rise of military spending in Venezuela, as the country passes Brazil to be become South America's largest importer of arms, and the 13th largest worldwide.

US military analysts are concerned by Russian military satellites exhibiting strange behavior. CNN's Brian Todd reports.

U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has declared multilateralism in international affairs a failure. What is needed, according to him, is a new liberal order led by the U.S. Such an order calls into question some important issues. Does this mean the universalization of American law and limited sovereignty for the rest of the world?

CrossTalking with James Jatras, Daniel Lazare, and Manuel López-Linares.

The Sukhoi Su-57 is the 5th generation, stealthy, single-seat, twin-engine jet multirole fighter aircraft designed for air superiority and ground attack operations. It is the successor of Su 35 and Russia’s answer to American F 35 Lightning II and F 22 Raptor.

Its first prototype first flew on 29 January 2010 and recently it has seen limited operational deployment in Syria.
Russian air-force had ordered 12 of these for its own use.
But it seems all is not well with the program and there will not beans serial production as of now.

Russia’s Deputy Defense Minister, Yuri Borisov during an interview with the state-owned Russia 24 television network on July 2, 2018, defended the move and said,
"You know that today the Su-57 is considered d to be one of the best aircraft produced in the world. Consequently, it does not make sense to speed up work on mass-producing the fifth-generation aircraft.”

He is implying that the MIG 29 Fulcrum and Su-35S Flanker-E, are more than capable of fulfilling Russia air combat needs.

While the assertion may be true to an extent there is a lot more to it. Several countries are moving on with the development of 5th generation fighters and more than a decade after the first 5th generation fighter F 22 Raptor was put in service by America, Russia is still backing away from producing a 5th generation fighter.


In this video, Defense Updates analyses why Russia has decided to stop manufacturing Su 57?

Let's get started.
