North Vietnamese gun crews who survive are often baffled by confused white lines racing across their radar scopes, the result of the fresh jamming technology...
Some space observers believe that the tests relate to an offensive orbiting weapons system. Other scientists have noted that the payloads seem to be brought back to earth within a closely limited area some 600 miles northeast of Tyuratam, where radar and other sensor devices can obtain a wide variety of re-entry data. Pursuing this line of reasoning, their best guess is that the Russian test flights are part of an effort to develop either maneuverable warheads that can avoid anti-ballistic missiles or manned vehicles that can withstand the 23,400 m.p.h. re-entry speeds of a lunar...
...process, the F-lll has indeed become the world's most advanced and versatile jet. It has also become something less-and more-than either the Air Force or Navy wanted. As originally envisioned, the Air Force version would be capable of ducking under enemy radar and making a 400-mile supersonic dash just above the ground before hitting its target; the Navy model would be light enough to fly off carriers and provide air defense for the fleet. Because both services wanted a jet with sliding wings that would allow it to take off in short spaces, land...
...from the tribulations of the F-lll. The Russians' Mikoyan-designed fighter has its air ducts placed far forward on the fuselage, apparently thus avoiding engine-stall caused by rearward ducts on the F-lll. Nevertheless, the F-lll is still the hottest plane, packing the most advanced radar and missile systems in the skies today, giving the nation a swinging aerial edge...
