All rights reserved. Editorial US Foreign Policy in a Time of Covid-19, Riots and Election Campaigns When pain depresses people, they seek refuge in strong hope. Currently, many are suffering from the effects of the coronavirusa, from images of police violence and race riots in the US, and from the clumsy reactions of US President Donald Trump. They hope that after these events everything will be different: Covid-19 brings about a change in thinking, the mass protests Photo: MRV archive against racism lead to police reform, and Trump is voted out of office for failure. It may happen. But it might not happen. Experience with earlier dynamics, which at the time were perceived as major cataclysms, urge caution. Even if all three hopes were to be fulfilled, US policy towards Europe and the world would probably not change fundamentally. Certainly, all three developments can bring about change. The Covid-19 ledger in the USA with its high numbers of infections and deaths, raises doubts about the efficiency of health care and disaster control. And the President's course. The USA is not getting a grip on the virus so quickly. The economic slump is deep. Some 40 million citizens have lost their jobs. However, new eco- nomic data is inspiring confidence that the worst is over and that things are now looking up again. But how quickly? And, are there any setbacks looming? The uncertainty is palpable. Even if the positive trend continues in the months leading up to Election Day on 3 November, it will not be easy to regain the belief that Trump is the guarantor of a good economy. So far, he has been his own most important election worker. The political consequences of the death of George Floyd and other victims of police violence are less clear, together with the mass protests that they sparked. Similar incidents occurred in the run-up to the last presidential election in 2016, when "Black Lives Matter" became a powerful movement. But it radicalised. Some of the demonstrators went on a rampage. In the summer of 2016, extremists fired on police officers. The mood changed. This helped candidate Trump, who presented himself as a defender of "Law and Order", to win the election. This could repeat itself in 2020, especially since Trump appears to be intensifying the conflicts instead of reconciling them. One thing is different, however. In 2016, Trump could attack as an opposition member. Obama led the country. Now Trump is in the White House and gives the impression that he is not ruling, but is permanently campaigning, solely with his voters in mind. Trump has fallen behind in the polls in recent weeks. On average in the nationwide polls, Biden (49.8%) now leads with 8.1 points ahead of Trump (41.7%). Biden is also ahead in the presum- ably election-decisive swing States such as Arizona, Florida, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsyl- vania and Wisconsin. Except for Ohio. How will Trump react? He will intensify controversy, real and imagined, domestic and foreign. For those of us who are behind, the best defence is a good offence. There are plenty of op- portunities: China, North Korea, withdrawal of troops from Germany, sanctions against Nord Stream, punitive tariffs and much more. This is a look ahead. Which conflicts will disappear if Trump loses the election? Which ones will remain? And which ones can be expected to intensify if he wins? Only one part is specific to Trump. A President Biden would threaten neither Germany nor Eu- rope with troop withdrawals or automobile tariffs. On the other hand, the pressure for Europe to do more to defend themselves would remain, even under Biden. The same goes for the sanctions against pipelines and gas deals with Russia. They meet with non-partisan approval in Congress. This also applies to the expectation that the entire West must press China to be fairer in market access and tariffs. All in all, yes, many things could change with the coronavirus, the protests against racism and an election victory for Biden. But many challenges remain. Things will not change in the USA if Trump loses the election.

Army--Aviation--History--20th century. I. Title. UG703.S35 2003 358.4'142--dc22 2003020365 ii Foreword The issue of close air support by the United States Air Force in sup- port of, primarily, the United States Army has been fractious for years. Air commanders have clashed continually with ground leaders over the proper use of aircraft in the support of ground operations. This is perhaps not surprising given the very different outlooks of the two services on what constitutes prop- er air support. Often this has turned into a competition between the two serv- ices for resources to execute and control close air support operations. Although such differences extend well back to the initial use of the airplane as a military weapon, in this book the author looks at the period 1946- 1973, a period in which technological advances in the form of jet aircraft, weapons, communications, and other electronic equipment played significant roles. Doctrine, too, evolved and this very important subject is discussed in detail. Close air support remains a critical mission today and the lessons of yesterday should not be ignored. This book makes a notable contribution in seeing that it is not ignored.

  • Air-To-Air Missile [UPSC Notes for GS III]
    Air-to-Air Missile [UPSC Notes for GS III] An air-to-air missile (AAM) is a missile fired from an aircraft for the purpose of destroying another aircraft. AAMs are typically powered by one or more rocket motors, usually solid fueled but sometimes liquid- fueled. The topic finds relevance in GS-3 of the UPSC exam. Types of Air-to-Air Missiles Air-to-air missiles are broadly categorized into two groups: “Short range missiles” and “medium or long range missiles”. o The missiles designed to engage opposing aircraft at a range of less than 30 km are known as short-range or "within visual range" missiles. o The medium- or long-range missiles, both fall under the category of “beyond visual range” missiles, and often rely upon radar guidance. The short-range missiles are sometimes called "dogfight" missiles because they are designed to optimize their agility rather than range. Astra Air-to-Air Missile It is an all-weather missile developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation, and its production began in 2017. Astra is the smallest missile in terms of size and weight, developed by the DRDO. Type of missile: It is a Beyond-Visual Range Air-to-Air indigenously developed missile (BVRAAM). Specifications: o It has a terminal Active Radar Homing (ARH). ARH is a missile guidance method in which a missile contains a radar transceiver and the electronics necessary for it to find and track its target autonomously. o The missile is capable of engaging targets at varying ranges and altitudes for engagement with short-range and long-range targets.
