Israeli forces mounted a ground invasion of the Gaza Strip in the early morning hours of October 28. AdvertisementAdvertisementAn advisor to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned of the ground invasion, telling MSNBC's Katy Tur on Friday that "tonight we are starting payback." Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said Israel expects a long and difficult ground offensive into Gaza. Israel has said it aims to crush Hamas' rule in Gaza and its ability to threaten Israel. Though 120 countries, an overwhelming majority of the United Nations, voted Friday for a resolution to call for a "sustained humanitarian truce" in Gaza, Israel has so far refused international calls for a cease-fire.

☆ I'm a Topgun-trained fighter pilot for the Navy. I'd make more money as an airline pilot, but it wouldn't be as fulfilling.

He was deployed in Iraq and Syria in 2016 aboard the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower. Tortorich now trains pilots of Strike Fighter Squadron 105, also known as the "Gunslingers." As a professional fighter pilot, you should keep up with what's going on every day, even when you're not flying. In the Navy, you're usually in a specific job for only two to three years. AdvertisementAdvertisementOverall, being a fighter pilot and then a trainer of fighter pilots has been a tough but extremely worthwhile career.

☆ The Russian air force's struggles in Ukraine reveal glaring problems in now Moscow trains its pilots
  + stars: | 2023-04-10 | by ( Alex Hollings | Sandboxx News | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +35 min
Despite being bigger and more advanced than its enemy, Russia's air force has struggled in Ukraine. It's commonly said that Russian fighter pilots are not as well trained as their Western counterparts, particularly those from the United States. But however ineffective you may think Russian pilot training is compared to the West, the truth seems to be … much worse. A Russian air force pilot prepares to take off in an Su-35 fighter jet at Hemeimeem air base in Syria in September 2019. Put simply, the Gulf War air campaign creates a damning juxtaposition when compared directly to Russia's air campaign over Ukraine.
☆ Here's how a wildly outgunned US Navy pilot outfoxed one of the Soviet Union's best jets, scoring a string of kills in a legendary dogfight

An outgunned US Navy pilot downed four Soviet MiG-15 jets in a legendary dogfight over 70 years ago. This swept-wing Soviet aircraft was considered to be superior to the straight-wing American Panther in terms of overall performance. A Grumman F9F Panther fighter jet fires its guns during an attack on the North Korean port of Hungnam. "In the moment I was a fighter pilot doing my job," Williams said in an account of the fight, according to Pacific Fleet. Williams' dogfight isn't the only example of US planes battling enemy aircraft that are superior on paper.
