It's not uncommon to hear people say that China doesn't invent their own military technologies, but rather steals technologies from other nations through espionage and cyber warfare. This isn't entirely true, as China does have a sprawling academic infrastructure aimed specifically at advancing a variety of military technologies... But it's not entirely untrue either.
The truth is, China has long stolen or purchased significant design breakthroughs as a way to close the technological gap with adversary — and even partner — nations.
Let's explore this through the lens of fighter aircraft.

Last week, 30 service members were recognized for their commitment to duty and courage under fire during the Iranian attack of April 13, 2024 — including Capt. Lacie “Sonic” Hester, an F-15E Strike Eagle Weapon Systems Officer, and her pilot, Maj. Benjamin “Irish” Coffey, both of whom received the nation’s third highest award for valor, the Silver Star.

Nestled deep within the Air Force's Nevada Test and Training Range, the remote and highly classified facility we've come to know as Area 51 has been the heart of secretive American aircraft programs — and a fair bit of modern folklore — for more than a half-century now.
Let's talk about how they manage to keep the cutting-edge programs they test away from the prying eyes of the public... and the spy satellites zooming overhead.

,1,On Tuesday, DARPA unveiled its newest experimental aircraft, or X-Plane, known as the XRQ-73 SHEPARD, short for Series Hybrid Electric Propulsion AiRcraft Demonstration program.
This new aircraft's title may be a mouthful, but its advanced new hybrid propulsion system could allow this aircraft to fly longer duration intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) missions than any aircraft before it, and all while dramatically reducing both its acoustic (sound) and thermal (heat) signatures.
Let's talk about why this technology could be vital for the future of American military operations.

,1,There's been a great deal of discussion about the forthcoming 6th generation of fighters, believed to be led by the U.S. Air Force's ongoing Next Generation Air Dominance Program... But do these generational designations still make sense?
Let's talk about why we may see this sort of fighter classification die out in the coming years, and why that might just be okay.

STORY 2: A Los Angeles homeowner was taken into custody early Wednesday after killing a home invasion suspect while a grandmother and toddler were in the house.
STORY 3: The Rufini family’s peaceful life was shattered when a late-night FBI operation saw them hauled at gunpoint from their home and detained in a van while agents combed their house for evidence of what was presumed to be a potential violent plot by their 15-year-old son, who was a volunteer firefighter and an altar boy, American Greatness reported.
STORY 4: Democrat Denver Mayor Mike Johnston’s car was stolen on Tuesday, just before Joe Biden arrived in the blue city.
STORY 5: Biden’s Department of Justice has slapped a whopping $700,000 fine on Covenant Transport Inc. and the affiliated Transport Management Services LLC, both stellar examples of Tennessee’s robust transportation sector.
