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

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

In 1958, the Mirage III became the first Western European combat aircraft to exceed Mach 2 in level flight. The Mirage IIIC entered French service by 1961. The Mirage F1 first flew in 1966 and could land about 60 knots slower than the Mirage III. The Mirage 2000 first flew in 1978 and introduced fly-by-wire control with the Snecma M53-P2 engine delivering 64 kN dry and 95 kN with afterburner. The Mirage 4000 first flew in 1979 as a twin-engine “Super Mirage” with canards and a potential load up to 8 tons, but only one prototype was built and it

Artificial Intelligence in the Military: How AI Is Reshaping the Future of War

Artificial Intelligence in the Military: How AI Is Reshaping the Future of War

The Pentagon’s Project Maven, now managed by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, uses AI to identify objects in surveillance imagery and speeds target identification timelines from hours to minutes. In 2024, the U.S. tested Scylla AI at Blue Grass Army Depot, which autonomously detected intruders and flagged a guard in seconds, achieving over 96% accuracy distinguishing threats from benign activities. Maven’s user base expanded to tens of thousands of military analysts across all combatant commands. The U.S. Department of Defense updated its Autonomous Weapons Policy with Directive 3000.09 in January 2023, adding ethical safeguards for AI-enabled weapons. Joint All-Domain Command and

From Sand to Signal: The Shocking Reality of Internet Access in the Sahara

From Sand to Signal: The Shocking Reality of Internet Access in the Sahara

The Sahara spans about 9 million square kilometers (3.6 million square miles) across North Africa and covers ten countries: Algeria, Mali, Niger, Chad, Libya, Sudan, Egypt, Mauritania, Morocco, and Tunisia. A Trans-Saharan Fiber Backbone is under development to connect Algeria, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Chad, and Tunisia along the Trans-Saharan Highway, tying inland towns to multiple submarine cable gateways, with Chad’s 559 km link from N’Djamena toward the Niger border nearly finished by late 2024. Chad obtained its first international fiber link in 2012 and today still has no nationwide fiber backbone connecting its towns. Only about 10–12% of Chadians have

Where Satellite Phones Are Illegal?

Where Satellite Phones Are Illegal?

Bangladesh bans satellite phone use; possession can lead to arrest and imprisonment. North Korea prohibits all unauthorized communication devices, foreigners must surrender phones and privacy is not guaranteed, with detention possible. India restricts satellite phones to government‑approved Inmarsat devices, requiring a license (No Objection Certificate) from the Department of Telecommunications before bringing one in. China maintains a de facto ban on private sat phones, requiring registration for limited state use and has deployed jammers in some areas to block unapproved devices. Chad bans satellite phones under any circumstances, with Thuraya explicitly outlawed and Iridium sometimes tolerated. Myanmar (Burma) effectively bans

How AI is Reshaping the Future of Warfare – What You Need to Know Now

How AI is Reshaping the Future of Warfare – What You Need to Know Now

The 2017 U.S. Department of Defense project Maven was launched to apply AI-based computer vision to analyze drone surveillance footage in the Middle East, with fielding by year’s end. In 2019, China released its National Defense White Paper announcing the goal of “intelligentized warfare” and a plan to become the world AI leader by 2030. The United States established the Joint Artificial Intelligence Center (JAIC) in 2018 to coordinate AI across the DoD, with Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2) linking sensors to shooters in real time. In 2020, DARPA’s AlphaDogfight Trials saw an AI agent defeat a human F-16

Blazing Beyond Mach 2: Inside the World’s Fastest Fighter Jets and the Hypersonic Race

Blazing Beyond Mach 2: Inside the World’s Fastest Fighter Jets and the Hypersonic Race

SR-71 Blackbird set the official world speed record for air-breathing crewed aircraft at 2,193 mph (Mach 3.3) in 1976. In 1965, a Lockheed YF-12A interceptor achieved 2,070 mph (Mach 3.17), a world speed record for its time. In 1958, the Lockheed F-104 Starfighter set a world speed record above Mach 2, proving fighters could double the speed of sound. The MiG-25 Foxbat achieved Mach 3.2 in a 1973 high-altitude dash, but operational limits were held at about Mach 2.8 to protect the engines. The MiG-31 Foxhound can reach about Mach 2.83 top speed at altitude and is described as the

This Common Phone Feature Could Land You in Jail Abroad: Inside the Global Crackdown on GPS and Satellite Phones

India bans unlicensed satellite communication and navigation devices, including Thuraya and Iridium phones and Garmin InReach, under the Indian Telegraph Act (1885) and Wireless Telegraphy Act (1933), with penalties up to three years in prison or ₹5 million in fines, and limited DoT licensing for Inmarsat devices. The 2008 Mumbai attacks involved a Thuraya satellite phone, prompting India’s tougher crackdown on civilian satphones. In March 2025 at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport, three American travelers and one Australian were booked under Indian telecom laws for carrying Garmin GPS units and an Iridium satphone.
