  • Russia's PAK FA Stealth Fighter: The US Air Force's Worst Nightmare?

    The PAK FA has played the bugbear for Western air forces for nearly a decade, the terrifying Russian jet that will eat F-35s for breakfast.

    This article has been updated to reflect new information from the Army about Micah Johnson's military record. Micah Johnson left Texas for Afghanistan at 22, outgoing and eager to be a part of something important. Eight months later, he returned home a different man, ostracized by many of his comrades and increasingly alone.
