      In August 2015, the Russian government initiated a military intervention in Syria, sparking extensive debate about its military capabilities and intentions. The performance of the Russian military, particularly the Air-Space Force (VKS), was seen by some as a showcase of advanced technology, improved training, and formidable firepower. Others argued that the operation revealed significant shortcomings, including the use of aircraft ill-suited for expeditionary warfare and a lack of advanced weaponry. While the military aspect indicated that Russia could not directly challenge NATO's eastern frontiers, it undeniably marked a turning point in the Syrian Civil War and had broader geostrategic implications. The intervention involved collaboration with diverse allies, including the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, Hezbollah, the PKK, and various local militias. Through targeted bombardments of insurgent-held areas and indirect support for Iranian forces, Russia played a crucial role in preserving Bashar al-Assad's regime. This analysis offers a detailed examination of Moscow's political objectives, strategy, military technology, tactics, and daily operations, alongside insights into the actions of the remaining Syrian Arab Air Force.

    • Commander Edward John Smith's career had been a remarkable example of how a man from a humble background could get far in the world. Born to a working-class family in the landlocked Staffordshire Potteries, he went to sea at the age of 17 and rose rapidly through the ranks of the merchant navy, serving first in sailing vessels and later in the new steamships of the White Star Line. By 1912, he as White Star's senior commander and regarded by many in the shipping world as the 'millionaire's captain'. In 1912, Smith was given command of the new RMS Titanic for her maiden voyage, but what should have been among the crowning moments of his long career at sea turned rapidly into a nightmare following Titanic's collision with an iceberg. In a matter of hours the supposedly unsinkable ship sank, taking over 1,500 people with her, including Captain Smith.
