Mach 2 Marvels: The Epic Saga of Dassault’s Mirage Fighter Jets

The Mirage III became the first Western European combat jet to exceed Mach 2 in 1958. France fielded the Mirage IIIC by 1961, followed by the Mirage F1 in 1966 and the Mirage 2000 in 1978. Over 1,400 Mirage III/5/50s, 726 F1s, and 600 Mirage 2000s were built. In 2024–25, France delivered retired Mirage 2000-5F fighters armed with MICA and Scalp-EG missiles to Ukraine.

Nevada Temporarily Bans Prediction Market Firm Kalshi Over Gaming License Dispute
March 20, 2026, 2:30 PM EDT. Kalshi, a prediction markets platform offering event-based contracts on sports, elections, and entertainment, was temporarily banned in Nevada by a 14-day restraining order from the First Judicial District Court. The ruling prohibits Kalshi from operating its derivatives exchange without a gaming license, marking the first state-level forced cessation for the company. The ban follows earlier Nevada cease-and-desist actions and precedes a likely extension through the legal case, said gaming attorney Daniel Wallach. The dispute comes amid mounting regulatory scrutiny nationally, including criminal charges from Arizona and ongoing battles in multiple states. Kalshi contends its sports contracts are financial swaps, not gambling, a view supported by the federal Commodity Futures Trading Commission, which claims jurisdiction over these markets. This case highlights tensions between state gambling laws and federally regulated prediction markets.
