0:00.0 | And what's going on this week? We got a lot going on with the CIA analyst who's been caught. |
0:03.7 | We're going to talk about the DF26. China's ICBM, as well as the U.S. authorizing some |
0:09.6 | strikes over in Russia. What happened out of that? And a few other things. Let's jump into it with |
0:14.6 | history of the day with the mighty B-52. First, if you're not subscribed in the newsletter, |
0:19.7 | make sure you grab that link down below. |
0:21.3 | Each and every week, absolutely free, and you get these little nuggets. |
0:24.6 | So November 15, 1957, the mighty B-52 took flight for the first time. |
0:30.1 | The crazy part about this is the B-52 is going to be around until the 2050s. |
0:34.0 | This is the exact same plane that rolled off the assembly line in the 20s, 2050s. This is the exact same plane that rolled off the assembly line in the 20s, 2050s. |

0:59.4 | used in recent conflicts. So to me, it's just wild to think that you can have a plane that's |
1:05.8 | been around for 100 years still zipping through the skies, a plane of this size and magnitude, I should say. |
1:12.2 | Now over to our threat of the day, which is this guy, the DF26, the Jung Feng, probably |
1:19.0 | butchered that as well. But carrier killer, aka the Guam Express. So China began developing this in |
1:24.3 | 2012. They unveiled it in a military parade in 2015. In 2017, they |
1:29.1 | had a successful test from the inter-Mongolia region of China, launching and striking a THAAD |
1:34.6 | battery setup. This is able to reach targets out to 4,000 kilometers, which puts this as |
1:42.9 | a formidable threat for anything operating against in the South China Sea or the Pacific, |
