In the Pentagon, another scandal erupts around the most expensive F-35 jet. To the impressive list of technical problems, another one has been added, capable of "outweighing" all the others in its significance. As it turned out, one of the engine components is manufactured in China. As a result, the expected reaction of the leadership of the main US military department followed — the assembly of the F-35 was temporarily discontinued.

The first American fifth-generation fighter F-22 Raptor, which made its first flight 25 years ago, looks like a failure, writes the American magazine Military Watch.

The Russian Air Force has received a new batch of Su-35 — these are three reasons why the Ministry of Defense continues to purchase them

Forget about the Su-35. The MiG-29UPG designed for India may become the best Russian fighter for Iran

Iran is considering purchasing Su-35S fighters from Russia. However, as noted in the MWM article, the Su-35 is the heaviest and most expensive non—Western fighter, so its potential place in the Iranian Air Force is unclear. According to the author, taking into account the challenges, Tehran should pay attention to the upgraded MiG-29.

The Russian multi-purpose supermaneuverable Su—35 fighter destroyed the air defense system (air defense) of the militants of Ukraine with a special missile - the projectile determines the target by signal. The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation released a video of the successful implementation of the next combat mission of Russian soldiers of the Western Military District (ZVO) on Monday, September 12.

The Russian advanced light tactical aircraft (LTS), known as Checkmate and Su-75, can "die on the drawing board". This is told by the columnist of the American edition of 19FortyFive, Peter Sichiu.

As noted in the German Cabinet, support will be provided "in close coordination with allies"

This was stated on Monday at a briefing by the representative of the German Cabinet of Ministers Christiane Hoffman, answering a question about the possibility of providing Leopard 2 battle tanks to Kiev.
