Virginia Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin made waves this week when he prevented a Ford electric vehicle battery plant from being built in Virginia because he claims it’s a ‘front’ for China. Ford Motor Company was hoping to build and own this plant, but a Chinese company called the Contemporary Amperex Technology Company—would own the actual battery technology. This would mean that customers of electric vehicles with these batteries would be dependent upon the Chinese company and, therefore, the Chinese Communist Party.

Join us on Telegram: https://t.me/americanmilitarynews On Tuesday, December 13, China sent 18 nuclear-capable, long-range H-6 bombers into Taiwan’s southwestern Air Defense Identification Zone. This is the largest intrusion by China’s H-6 bombers ever recorded, surpassing a previous incident in October 2021 when 16 H-6 bombers entered the zone. By entering this zone, China is showing off its military prowess and reminding Taiwan and the U.S. that it can threaten Taiwan’s airspace. The aerial intrusion comes shortly after Japan's Prime Minister visited Taiwan and after China instituted new bans on Taiwanese food, alcohol and fishery products.

The Chinese Communist Party is furious at the US Defense Department for revealing a simple fact: China is on pace to have up to 1,500 nuclear warheads by 2035 and most of them will have delivery systems enabling them to strike the continental United States. To put that in perspective, Russia has a stockpile of about 5,500 nuclear weapons, and the U.S. has about 4,000.

Celebrated 100 year old WW2 triple ace Cold. Clarence "Bud" Anderson was promoted to honorary rank of brigadier general, Dec. 2, 2022, at the Aerospace Museum of California in McClellan, California. US Air Force public affairs covered the event. Bud is credited with shooting down over 16 enemy planes in World War 2 and is the last surviving triple ace.

On Dec. 2, 2022 The US Air Force revealed the new high-tech B-21 Stealth Bomber to the world. It is designed to carry conventional and nuclear weapons and also to fly with or without a crew. It comes at a reported cost of roughly $700 million per bomber. The B-21 Raider forms the backbone of the future for U.S. air power, leading a powerful family of systems that deliver a new era of capability and flexibility through advanced integration of data, sensors and weapons. Its sixth-generation capabilities include stealth, information advantage and open architecture. “The B-21 Raider is a testament to America’s enduring advantages in ingenuity and innovation. And it’s proof of the Department’s long-term commitment to building advanced capabilities that will fortify America’s ability to deter aggression, today and into the future. Now, strengthening and sustaining U.S. deterrence is at the heart of our National Defense Strategy,” said Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III. “This bomber was built on a foundation of strong, bipartisan support in Congress. And because of that support, we will soon fly this aircraft, test it and then move into production.” The B-21 is capable of networking across the battlespace to multiple systems, and into all domains. Supported by a digital ecosystem throughout its lifecycle, the B-21 can quickly evolve through rapid technology upgrades that provide new capabilities to outpace future threats. “With the B-21, the U.S. Air Force will be able to deter or defeat threats anywhere in the world,” said Tom Jones, corporate vice president and president, Northrop Grumman Aeronautics Systems. “The B-21 exemplifies how Northrop Grumman is leading the industry in digital transformation and digital engineering, ultimately delivering more value to our customers.” The B-21 Raider is named in honor of the Doolittle Raids of World War II when 80 men, led by Lt. Col. James “Jimmy” Doolittle, and 16 B-25 Mitchell medium bombers set off on a mission that changed the course of World War II. The designation B-21 recognizes the Raider as the first bomber of the 21st century. #airforce #b21raider #america #plane #military

Watch the amazing EA-18G Growler in action. Join us on telegram: https://t.me/americanmilitarynews The Boeing EA-18G Growler is a carrier-based, twin turbofan, two seater aircraft used for airborne electronic warfare. The electronic warfare capability is provided by Northrop Grumman. This aircraft was to bound the F/A-18A capabilities along with the electronic warfare. The Growler features AESA (APG-79 Active Electronically Scanned Array), ALQ-218 receiver, ALQ-99 Jamming pods, Joint Tactical Terminal - Receiver (JTT-R) and ALQ-227 Communication Countermeasures Set (CCS). The E/A-18G Growler shares the same airframe as the Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet with the addition of the ALQ-218 receiver pods on each wingtip. The Growler is a highly versatile aircraft due to its avionics, cockpit displays, and excellent aerodynamic characteristics, with the ability to carry a variety of air-to-air and air-to-ground weapons. ALQ-218 receivers and the ALQ-99 pods work together to help the pilot and electronic warfare officer(EWO) perform electronic attack (EA), electronic surveillance (ES), and the overall electronic warfare (EW) mission. The versatility of the Growler has proven itself to be valuable to not only the U.S. Navy, but to the U.S. Air Force by deploying with both branches and executing the EW mission successfully. The Growler made its first flight in 2006 and joined an Electronic Attack Squadron (VAQ-129) in 2008 located in Whidbey Island, Washington. The Growler’s predecessor, the E/A-6B Prowler, made the transition to the Growler in 2010 when the Growler was declared safe for flight. The Growler also made its first deployment in late 2010 and continues to deploy today. It continues to play a crucial role for the U.S. Military in the always evolving fight for dominance in the electromagnetic spectrum.
