In August 2015, the Russian government initiated a military intervention in Syria, sparking extensive debate about its military capabilities and intentions. The performance of the Russian military, particularly the Air-Space Force (VKS), was seen by some as a showcase of advanced technology, improved training, and formidable firepower. Others argued that the operation revealed significant shortcomings, including the use of aircraft ill-suited for expeditionary warfare and a lack of advanced weaponry. While the military aspect indicated that Russia could not directly challenge NATO's eastern frontiers, it undeniably marked a turning point in the Syrian Civil War and had broader geostrategic implications. The intervention involved collaboration with diverse allies, including the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, Hezbollah, the PKK, and various local militias. Through targeted bombardments of insurgent-held areas and indirect support for Iranian forces, Russia played a crucial role in preserving Bashar al-Assad's regime. This analysis offers a detailed examination of Moscow's political objectives, strategy, military technology, tactics, and daily operations, alongside insights into the actions of the remaining Syrian Arab Air Force.

Between 1973 and 1989, Western powers and Libya were entangled in an exchange of blows. Supposedly launched in retaliation for one action or the other, this confrontation resulted in a number of high-profile clashes between the Libyan Arab Air Force (LAAF), the US Navy and the French. Meanwhile, the LAAF also saw deployment in Chad. Initially, with

Che ci fa un uomo, con un metal detector in pugno e una protesi arrugginita al posto dell’altro braccio, immerso fino al ginocchio nelle acque limacciose del bayou? E chi sono i due tipi dallo sguardo feroce che, fucile alla mano, seguono sospettosi ogni sua mossa? Per scoprirlo dovrete leggere questa storia. E addentrarvi nel paesaggio seducente e disfatto di Jeanette, oscuro paesino della Louisiana che gli elementi corrodono pezzo per pezzo, asse per asse, baracca dopo fatiscente baracca. Perché negli splendidi luoghi colpiti a morte dalla furia dell’uragano Katrina, il presente ha il colore incerto della palude avvelenata dal greggio e il futuro è una partita persa in partenza. Ma da queste parti anche arrendersi è diventato un lusso per pochi: lo sa bene il vecchio Lindquist, che da anni si danna per ritrovare un antico tesoro e intanto ingolla analgesici come fossero caramelle. E lo sa anche Wes Trench, giovane caparbio e fragile con il bayou dentro al sangue e nel destino. Lo sanno Cosgrove e Hanson, bizzarro duo di delinquenti da poco, uniti solo dalla volontà di giocarsi il tutto per tutto. In un crescendo di colpi di scena, un pugno di personaggi irresistibili si incontra e si scontra alla ricerca di un riscatto impossibile. Alla fine, solo uno emergerà vincitore dalle acque insidiose del bayou e della vita.

Commander Edward John Smith's career had been a remarkable example of how a man from a humble background could get far in the world. Born to a working-class family in the landlocked Staffordshire Potteries, he went to sea at the age of 17 and rose rapidly through the ranks of the merchant navy, serving first in sailing vessels and later in the new steamships of the White Star Line. By 1912, he as White Star's senior commander and regarded by many in the shipping world as the 'millionaire's captain'. In 1912, Smith was given command of the new RMS Titanic for her maiden voyage, but what should have been among the crowning moments of his long career at sea turned rapidly into a nightmare following Titanic's collision with an iceberg. In a matter of hours the supposedly unsinkable ship sank, taking over 1,500 people with her, including Captain Smith.
