China's aggressiveness in the Asia Pacific region, especially the South China Sea, has made countries in the region try to strengthen themselves. Countries in this region have an increasingly unstoppable race to make sophisticated weapons. Some of them don't even seem to care about the agreements made regarding the manufacture of certain weapons. They seem to realize that following the rules regarding the manufacture of weapons is tantamount to letting China 'act' more freely in the Asia Pacific. Indonesia also does not want to be left behind, a project codenamed "black eagle" is at the forefront of this competition. It is hoped that the Black Eagle will be able to become a mainstay when talking about asymmetric weapons. What is meant by "Black Eagle", let's look at the following reviews! A study says countries in the Asia-Pacific are developing advanced rocket weapons such as drones and cruise missiles to offset China's aggr...

Today 75 years ago, on August 9, 1945, a nuclear bomb with super large explosive power was dropped by US aircraft in the city of Nagasaki, Japan. The dropping of the atomic bomb nicknamed "Fat Man" caused the city of Nagasaki to nearly flatten to the ground, killing up to 32% of the city's population, and ending World War II. Fat Man is the code name for the second US atomic bomb that hit Japan in August 1945. Previously, on August 6, the atomic bomb nicknamed "Little Boy" had already completed its mission to flatten the city of Hiroshima. The atomic bomb with an explosive power of 22,000 tonnes of TNT was assembled by scientists and engineers at the Los Alamos Laboratory using plutonium from the Hanford Site. Fat Man was carried by a Boeing B-29 Superfortress Bockscar, commanded by Major Charless Sweeney. The B-29 Superfortress is a heavyweight bomber driven by four main engines, designed by Boing and flown by the US during World War II and the ...

 The B-29 Superfortress Bockscar can be called one of the main determinants of the end of World War II, although many condemn its existence. Built at nearly 6 times the cost of Indonesia's military budget in 2018, the B-29 is considered a lifesaver for successfully ending World War II. But on the other hand, his efforts to stop the war were pursued in a very heinous way, making 246 thousand lives become 'sacrifices'. Then, where is the existence of this legendary plane now? What task does he now carry? To find out, let's go back 75 years, when this plane was transformed into a legendary and deadly aircraft. Right on August 9, 1945, a nuclear bomb with super large explosive power was dropped by US aircraft on the city of Nagasaki, Japan. The dropping of the atomic bomb nicknamed "Fat Man" caused the city of Nagasaki to nearly flatten to the ground, killing up to 32% of the city's population, and ending World War II. Fat Man is the code nam...
