In the past week, Pakistan has test-fired two ballistic missiles and India responded by test-firing a new short-range air-defence missile.
Britain has also helped with air-to-air refuelling, thus extending the effective range of America's carrier-based bombers, and agreed to the use of Diego Garcia, a British island in the Indian Ocean, as a base for heavy bombers.
Although the number of F-22 fighters was capped at 187, the Air Force would increase its long-range strike capabilities by 50 percent and the penetrating component of long-range strike by a factor of five by 2025.
B-2, is on the other hand offered as evidence that this was a pretty good war for air power of the longer-range sort.
Broadcasters may then be unable to fund commitments to quality and diversity, and be forced to increase their output of low-budget, advertiser-friendly programming, resulting in a diminished range of free-to-air content.
Artillery was gradually replaced by tactical missiles in the defensive role, but the Air Force was too busy building a fleet of long-range bombers and supersonic fighters to be bothered with ground-based air defenses, while Army troops had a clear need for such defenses.
One of the canceled ships was, or is, a next-generation destroyer capable of defending the fleet against air and surface attacks while supporting marines ashore with long-range guns.

The plane, with the wingspan of a 737, flies pilotlessly at 20, 000 meters--out of range of all but the best surface-to-air missiles.
The BBC News spokesman confirmed that Mr Thompson had spoken to Ms Boaden "and other directors about the need to have a broad range of presenters on air - including older women".
Having recently reversed himself on the bomber and approved Air Force plans to develop a new long-range strike aircraft, the defense secretary needs to also revisit his decision on F-22.

This year the centenary is being celebrated with a range of events, including a massive open-air performance in June as part of the Derry-Londonderry City of Culture 2013.
Wayne Huizenga flies along composed in the back of a Range Rover, the backseat shaded by tinted windows and air-conditioned cool.
So with their aging fleet of barely 160 long-range bombers facing a growing array of operational challenges, Air Force leaders have reluctantly come to the conclusion that they need to buy a new bomber.

So if the C919 is to be commercially viable, COMAC needs to get the plane up in the air on or close to its ambitious schedule while the market for medium-range aircraft remains hot.
Other incremental improvements range from solar panels that run the air conditioning during stand-still, so fuel is not used to cool down the car, to small electric motors tucked away in the doors and powered by batteries that are charged when a car is braking.
The car's limited range would require plenty of fill-ups at compressed-air service stations, except those don't exist.
Mr Olmert's fatal error was to believe his chief of staff, a former air-force commander, who assured him that Hizbullah's thousands of short-range missiles could be dealt with in the same way.
Cohen said the decision Sunday to send U.S. helicopter gunships and short-range missiles to the region is an escalation of the existing allied air campaign, not a move toward putting troops into the field.
Its adaptive air suspension, full-time all-wheel drive, locking differentials and extra-low range all combine to make the Range Rover capable of going just about anywhere you'd think to try and drive, and to conquer some slopes you couldn't ascend without a climbing rope.
On October 30, 1935, at Wright Air Field in Dayton, Ohio, the U.S. Army Air Corps held a flight competition for airplane manufacturers vying to build its next-generation long-range bomber.
The Port Authority instead wants the FAA to adopt some of its own proposals, which range from permanently reopening closed military airspace to civilian use to investing in new air-traffic-control technology.

The HondaLink EV application will allow the user to remotely view the state of charge, initiate charging, and activate the air conditioning and heater to pre-condition the vehicle while connected to the grid to maximize battery range on start-up.
Air carriers around the world are snapping up a new generation of Boeing jets that offer improved fuel-to-range ratios.
Last week's order to ground the planes - in the US air force, army and Marine Corps - marked the second time in two months planes from the F-35 range have been grounded.
Unlike conventional rockets that blast off from a pad, air-launched systems similar to the one Mr. Allen wants to put together are designed to deliver a broad range of satellites to space without the constraints of weather or optimal times and locations to try to reach specific orbits.
