North
 Korea has up to four times as many nukes than previous estimates, and 
is working to master placing nuclear warheads on missiles, according to 
an influential Website tracking North Korea’s nuclear developments.</div>

This new assessment of Kim Jong Un’s nuclear arsenal revises it upward—<em class="markup--em markup--p-em">way</em>
 upward. Previously, most estimates reckoned that Pyongyang had only a 
handful of large, unwieldy, possibly unreliable nukes incapable of 
fitting onto ballistic missiles. These old estimates may be dangerously wrong.</div>

Joel Wit is a former State Department official and editor of the prominent Website <em class="markup--em markup--p-em">38 North</em>. On Feb. 24, Wit claimed that Pyongyang has 10 to 16 nukes, <a class="markup--anchor markup--p-anchor" data-href="http://www.independent.co.uk/incoming/north-korea-could-possess-100-nuclear-weapons-by-2020-warn-us-researchers-10069627.html" href="http://www.independent.co.uk/incoming/north-korea-could-possess-100-nuclear-weapons-by-2020-warn-us-researchers-10069627.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">much higher</a> than the widely-estimated four to seven nuclear weapons in North Korea’s arsenal.</div>
<div class="graf--p" id="c2b6" name="c2b6">
Worse, Wit estimated North Korea’s rate of fissile material production should lead to<em class="markup--em markup--p-em"> dramatic</em>
 increase in the country’s future nuclear weapon stockpile. Wit claimed 
that by the end of the decade, North Korea will be able to deploy 20 
nuclear weapons … at the very minimum.</div>
<blockquote class="graf--pullquote pullquote" id="5476" name="5476">
<span style="font-size: large;">A more likely scenario puts Pyongyang’s stockpile at 50 nukes by 2020, and under the worst case scenario, up to 100 nukes.</span></blockquote>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>       <b>North Korea could possess 100 nuclear weapons by 2020, warn US            researchers</b>. <br /><div class="graf--p" id="cb04" name="cb04">
Pyongyang’s
 largest nuclear weapons have an estimated explosive yield of 50 
kilotons. That’s about three times the power of the bomb that destroyed 
Hiroshima and killed 135,000 people. A 50-kiloton atomic bomb dropped on
 a city as dense as Seoul <a class="markup--anchor markup--p-anchor" data-href="http://nuclearsecrecy.com/nukemap/?&casualties=1&fallout=1&linked=1&kt=50&lat=37.566535&lng=126.9779692&hob_ft=0&zm=13" href="http://nuclearsecrecy.com/nukemap/?&casualties=1&fallout=1&linked=1&kt=50&lat=37.566535&lng=126.9779692&hob_ft=0&zm=13" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">could result</a> in 269,000 fatalities and more than one million injuries.</div>
<div class="graf--p" id="9267" name="9267">
Further,
 Wit projected that North Korea was much further along in developing 
nuclear warheads than previously believed. By 2020, Pyongyang should be 
able to install miniaturized warheads on short-range Nodong and 
long-range Taepodong-2 missiles.</div>
<div class="graf--p" id="6a61" name="6a61">
The
 Nodong and the Taepodong-2 are capable of striking targets throughout 
Asia, while the latter might be able to reach as far as Alaska.</div>

To add to the worries, North Korea is developing <a class="markup--anchor markup--p-anchor" data-href="http://38north.org/2015/01/jbermudez010815/" href="http://38north.org/2015/01/jbermudez010815/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">missile-carrying submarines</a> and submarine-launched <a class="markup--anchor markup--p-anchor" data-href="http://38north.org/2014/10/jbermudez102814/" href="http://38north.org/2014/10/jbermudez102814/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">ballistic missiles</a>.

<div class="graf--p" id="a20b" name="a20b">
Why
 would the impoverished country work on such weapons if it has 
relatively few nuclear bombs, and is unable to squeeze them down small 
enough to fit on missiles? If Wit is correct, it’s because North Korea 
anticipates having enough miniaturized warheads to put at least <em class="markup--em markup--p-em">some</em> of them to sea.</div>

On Jan. 23, <a class="markup--anchor markup--p-anchor" data-href="http://freebeacon.com/national-security/north-korea-flight-tests-new-submarine-launched-ballistic-missile/" href="http://freebeacon.com/national-security/north-korea-flight-tests-new-submarine-launched-ballistic-missile/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">North Korea tested</a> a submarine-launched ballistic missile, according to the <em class="markup--em markup--p-em">Washington Free Beacon. </em>American

<div class="graf--p" id="7b0b" name="7b0b">
The
 United States’ intelligence community assigns the “KN” prefix to North 
Korean rockets and missiles. KN-02, for example, is likely to a copy of 
the Soviet SS-21. A short-range tactical weapon, North Korea could 
launch the KN-02 at bridges, ammunition dumps and airfields not far 
behind enemy lines.</div>
<blockquote class="graf--pullquote pullquote" id="b22d" name="b22d">

One 
possibility is that the KN-11 is a descendant of the obsolete Soviet

Kim
 Jong Un may calculate that having nuclear weapons makes him safer, but 
the opposite may be true. If North Korea continues to provoke South 
Korea with attacks such as the 2010 sinking of the South Korean corvette

<div class="graf--p" id="a113" name="a113">
At
 a certain point, the U.S.—and possibly China—will have to decide 
whether or not the entire region is safer without North Korea. Are the 
risks entailed in removing the nuclear threat worth the reward? If the 
answer is yes, the next step is that the North Korean leadership, and 
its nuclear weapons, will simply cease to exist.</div>

South Korea and Japan. South Korean leaders, in particular, have dragged
 their feet on constructing a ballistic missile defense shield.</div>
<div class="graf--p" id="fc9a" name="fc9a">
At
 the very minimum, the report represents a road map to what North Korea

<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: large;">Succeeds in TPS negative thrust wind tunnel test </span></span></h1>
China’s first Turbofan-Powered-Simulator (TPS) negative thrust test 
achieved a complete success in a wind tunnel of 8 m * 6 m in the Low 
Speed Aerodynamics Institute (LSAI) of the China Aerodynamics Research 
and Development Center (CARDC) on February 26, 2015.<br />
<br />
Results show that this test technique works very well to simulate the 
various power output states of the engine, so as to study systematically
 the impact of the engine on the aerodynamic characteristics of the 
aircraft and acquire the precise data to meet the development demands.<br />
<br />
The success of such test marks that China has been capable of conducting
 TPS positive and negative thrust wind tunnel tests, which is of great 
significance to China’s research and development of aircraft, especially
 large aircraft.<br />
<br />
It is learnt that the TPS is an indispensable experiment for large 
Turbofan engines. Since the power output of the engine has an impact on 
the aerodynamic characteristics of the aircraft, the wind tunnel test is
 internationally recognized as the best way to verify and optimize the 
design of the aerodynamic shape and engine of the aircraft.<br />
<br />
The TPS wind tunnel test is the most complicated part of the low speed 
wind tunnel test technique. The LSAI of CARDC has been committed to such
 research since the end of last century, and has successfully completed 
China’s first TPS positive thrust wind tunnel test in 2007.<br />
<br />
Compared with the positive thrust simulation, the negative thrust 
simulation has more signals to test and monitor, so it has a higher 
requirement on the monitoring alarm system and the miniaturization of 
test instrument. With the approval of China's large aircraft project, 
the establishment of a matched set of TPS negative thrust wind tunnel 
test technique is a task of top priority.<br />
<br />
The LSAI of CARDC started the TPS negative thrust research project in 
2009. After 6 years’ efforts, they finally succeed in completing the TPS
 negative thrust test in a wind tunnel of 8 m * 6 m now.

Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards staged war games in the Strait of 
Hormuz on Wednesday, including a gunboat attack on a model U.S. warship,
 in Tehran's latest display of military muscle in a Gulf shipping 
channel vital to world oil exports.<br />
<br />
The Shi'ite Muslim Islamic Republic sees the Gulf, between Iran and the 
Sunni Arab states, as its own backyard and believes it has a legitimate 
interest in expanding its influence there.<br />
<br />
A ceremony marking the exercises was attended by commanders of the 
Guards, an influential military force led by anti-Western hawks, as well
 as by parliament speaker Ali Larijani.<br />

"With attention to the situation in the region, we have noticeably 
expanded the defense budget of the armed forces to ensure the stable 
security of the region," Larijani told a news conference before the 
exercises, according to Fars News.<br />

Tehran plans to swarm U.S. ships with missiles and speedboats</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="section-inner layoutSingleColumn">
<div class="graf--p" id="09f0" name="09f0">
Iran has carried out a massive attack on a mock version of an American <em class="markup--em markup--p-em">Nimitz</em>-class aircraft carrier. Tehran wanted <em class="markup--em markup--p-em">everyone</em> to know about it—state TV broadcasted the military exercise live.</div>
<div class="graf--p" id="bde0" name="bde0">
It’s
 a revealing look at Iranian naval assault tactics, involving several 
waves of ships backed by helicopters and shore-launched missiles. The 
timing isn’t a coincidence. The United States and Iran are deadlocked 
over a deal to curb Tehran’s nuclear program.</div>
<div class="graf--p" id="c956" name="c956">
The
 Iranians built the giant, 1:1-scale mock-up of the carrier on top of a 
barge almost one year ago. Photos released from Iranian news agencies on
 Feb. 25 now show it as a smoldering wreck. The missiles Iran fired at 
it are very real.</div>
<div class="graf--p" id="60cc" name="60cc">
But don’t 
panic. The exercise—known as Great Prophet 9—didn’t factor in American 
escort warships and warplanes responsible for defending <em class="markup--em markup--p-em">real</em> carriers. It was mostly just for show.</div>
<figure class="graf--figure" id="21ef" name="21ef"><div class="aspectRatioPlaceholder is-locked" style="max-height: 51px; max-width: 441px;">
</div>
</figure><div class="graf--p" id="a7ca" name="a7ca">
The
 exercise occurred near Larak Island near the Strait of Hormuz. On the 
island, Mohammad Ali Jafari—the chief of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards 
Corps—and the head of the conservative parliament watched from stands.</div>
<div class="graf--p" id="dfe6" name="dfe6">
First,
 IRGC navy speedboats performed a mining operation to isolate the 
“carrier” and limit its maneuverability. Dozens of small speedboats—each
 armed with an M-08 contact mine—swarmed around the mock up. Iranian 
state television claimed “a vast area was mined in under 10 minutes.”</div>
<div class="graf--p" id="4e28" name="4e28">
During
 the second phase, the speedboats attacked the giant ship with 
107-millimeter rockets. These are small rockets, and likely couldn’t 
sink a warship the size of an aircraft carrier.</div>
<blockquote class="graf--pullquote pullquote" id="06bf" name="06bf">
<span style="font-size: large;">But
 Iran could intend this tactic as a means to disable critical 
self-defense systems, such as radars, Phalanx CIWS self-defense cannons 
and missile launchers.</span></blockquote>
<div class="graf--p" id="f58c" name="f58c">
Next,
 speedboats armed with small cruise missiles—likely Chinese-made C-704 
anti-ship cruise missiles—attacked the ship. These fast speedboats fired
 a barrage of 12 cruise missiles toward the mock <em class="markup--em markup--p-em">Nimitz</em>.</div>
<div class="graf--p" id="7ed3" name="7ed3">
The
 third phase included a barrage of heavy, shore-launched anti-ship 
missiles. Iran launched two cruise missiles and two ballistic missiles 
toward the barge in a coordinated attack.</div>

<div class="graf--p" id="37b6" name="37b6">
The shore-launched cruise missiles were Iranian-made <em class="markup--em markup--p-em">Noor</em>
 missiles, copies of Chinese C-802 missiles produced under license. The 
ballistic missiles were Fateh-100 variants fitted with target-seeking 
infrared nose cameras. At least one of those missed its target.</div>
<div class="graf--p" id="4bd6" name="4bd6">
The
 fourth phase was an unconventional attack … even by IRGC standards. A 
commercial Bell 206 helicopter fired a C-704K anti-ship cruise missile 
from between its skids.</div>
<blockquote class="graf--pullquote pullquote" id="0904" name="0904">
<span style="font-size: large;">The
 last phase involved ramming a remotely-controlled suicide boat packed 
with more than 1,000 kilograms of high explosives into the mock up.</span></blockquote>
<div class="graf--p" id="6c1b" name="6c1b">
Jafari
 directly threatened the U.S. Navy in an interview after the attack. He 
said that it only takes five minutes for IRGC missiles to sink American 
aircraft carriers. Five hundred speed boats made a parade in the Strait 
of Hormuz following the exercise.</div>
<div class="graf--p" id="63bc" name="63bc">
But
 in a real encounter, it’s unlikely that such a scenario would succeed. 
To reach and flank a U.S. aircraft carrier—and mine the surrounding 
area—Iran’s speed boats would <em class="markup--em markup--p-em">also</em> have to fight past the flattop’s advanced escort warships.</div>
<div class="graf--p" id="035d" name="035d">
Carriers don’t go <em class="markup--em markup--p-em">anywhere</em> without escorts. And that wasn’t part of the exercise.</div>
<div class="graf--p" id="a049" name="a049">
Iran
 also didn’t provide any substantial air defenses for its own ships. A 
defending carrier is unlikely to sit idle when under attack. In a real 
battle, U.S. Marines with Mark V speedboats armed with Javelin anti-tank
 missiles could also provide a defense shield for the American fleet.</div>
<blockquote class="graf--pullquote pullquote" id="42c4" name="42c4">
<span style="font-size: large;">But the use of commercial helicopters is concerning. Iran’s military has worked on flying swarms of small aircraft for some time.</span></blockquote>
<div class="graf--p" id="c13a" name="c13a">
Another
 possibility is that Iran doesn’t intend to use helicopters in an actual
 attack on a carrier, but is broadcasting its ability to use helicopters
 against other targets—such as unprepared U.S. ships abroad, akin to the
 suicide-boat attack on the destroyer USS <em class="markup--em markup--p-em">Cole</em> more than 14 years ago.</div>
<div class="graf--mixtapeEmbed" id="0f7d" name="0f7d">
<strong class="markup--strong markup--mixtapeEmbed-strong"><br /></strong></div>
<div class="graf--p" id="b6af" name="b6af">
The
 question is—why practice attacking an American carrier right now? 
Simple. It was an impressive show of force aimed to affect ongoing 
nuclear talks with Washington.</div>
<div class="graf--p" id="6ef1" name="6ef1">
From
 the negotiations in Geneva to a disastrous war in Syria, the Iranian 
regime’s plans to save its sinking economy and preserve its strategic 
ally in the Middle East are going down in flames.</div>
<div class="graf--p" id="d4cd" name="d4cd">
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry recently said the U.S. is <a class="markup--anchor markup--p-anchor" data-href="http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/top-us-iranian-nuke-officials-joining-iran-talks-29123530" href="http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/top-us-iranian-nuke-officials-joining-iran-talks-29123530" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">ready to abandon </a>negotiations aimed at limiting Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for lifting sanctions.

<div class="graf--p" id="64dc" name="64dc">
To have any hope of holding the U.S. to the negotiations, Tehran has to remind the world what could happen if talks break down.</div>

<b>The Y-8Q joins the mile-high sub-hunting club.</b><br />
<br />

</div>
<div class="field-body">
    The Chinese Naval Air Force gets its first operational Y-8Q heavy
 submarine hunting aircraft, after several years of flight testing.  
Painted in the standard PLANAF grey as opposed to the bright yellow 
primer seen on the pair of prototypes, the Y-8Q will likely show up all 
around East Asian waters after the Chinese flight crews learn how to 
fully exploit the limits of their new technology.<br />

</div>
</div>
China is making serious efforts to correct its longstanding 
deficiency in aerial Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW), introducing the 
Shaanxi Y-8Q (also designated as the Y-8GX6) aircraft painted in the 
blue-gray People's Liberation Army Navy Air Force (PLANAF) colors into 
operation. Previously, two Y-8Q prototypes had been flying for the past 
several years as part of a rigorous testing and training regimen.  Until
 this month, China's only long-range aerial ASW capability came from 
three Harbin SH-5 seaplanes, which are nearly thirty years old.<br />

The Y-8Q is designed to overcome Chinese ASW deficiencies that would 
cripple Chinese naval and civilian maritime activity in war. Some of its
 technology, at least on the surface, compares favorably to the U.S. 
P-3C Orion and P-8 Poseidon, and the Japanese P-1. The Y-8Q's most 
distinctive feature is its seven-meter-long Magnetic Anomaly Detector 
(MAD) boom, which detects the magnetic signature of enemy submarines' 
metal hulls as the Y-8Q flies over them.  Since MAD performance 
correlates to size, and it's seven-meter MAD boom is arguably the 
largest of its kind among airplanes, the PLAN would have a fine weapon 
for hunting otherwise stealthy submarines.<br />

<div class="field-body">
    The Y-8Q's MAD boom on its tail is possibly the largest one 
mounted on an aircraft.  The MAD is located on a boom in order to 
minimize electromagnetic interference from the Y-8Q itself, as the MAD 
detects any magnetic signatures from the metallic hulls of submarines 
lurking beneath the waves.<br />

</div>
</div>
The Y-8Q also has an electro-optical turret forward of its bomb bay, 
which has day, night and infrared cameras to hunt the heat signatures 
and wakes of small watercraft, unmanned vehicles, and submarines 
(especially snorkels and periscopes).  Right under cockpit is a large 
radome that, in addition to detecting submarine periscopes and wakes, 
can provide targeting data via satellite link to Chinese aircraft and 
warships when the Y-8Q finds enemy warships.  The Y-8Q can also drop a 
hundred sonobuoys to provide real time sonar coverage of seawater 
expanses.<br />

    The Y-8Q can carry at least a hundred sonobuoys to provide 
blanket sensor coverage over a patch of ocean the size of Rhode Island. 
Other Chinese ASW platforms, like the Z-18 helicopter, also carry these 
sonobuoys.<br />

</div>
</div>
The exact weapons capacity of the plane's internal bomb bay is not 
yet public, but one estimate is that the Y-8Q can carry probably over 10
 tons. (By comparison, the Y-8 transport carries 20 tons of cargo.)  
Likely weapons loadouts include torpedoes like the Yu-7, sea mines and 
anti-ship missiles.  The Y-8Q's large size and sensors could also allow 
it to be a command center for underwater unmanned vehicles (UUVs) like 
the Haiyan glider that would guard sectors of the ocean floor while the 
Y-8Q flies off elsewhere.<br />

</div>
<br /><div class="field-body">
    The Haiyan UUV is an underwater glider, which can dive under 
1,500m below the ocean surface, for up to 30 days.  These 70kg drones 
(or future militarized versions) could be deployed enmass by Y-8Qs to 
provide a quick but long-term sensor solution, in areas like the Taiwan 
Straits, against enemy submarines during war time.<br />

</div>
</div>
Since the Y-8Q is extending Anti-Access/Area Denial operations 
underwater, it is almost a given that China is going to invest in future
 ASW methods.  In the future, the Y-8Q may be equipped with more exotic 
technologies like LIDAR (which uses laser beams to penetrate water to 
detect objects), hard kill anti-torpedo systems, acoustic signals 
intelligence and radiation detection (identify radiation from nuclear 
reactors) that Chinese scientists are already beginning to research.<br />

<div class="field-body">
    This long range anti-submarine rocket is a proposal by Poly 
Technologies, a Chinese industrial conglomerate, that was first unveiled
 in September 2014 at a South African arms show.  The ASW rocket uses a 
heavy WS series artillery rocket to fire a light torpedo (possibly a 
500kg Yu-7) over 100 km away at enemy submarines that have been detected
 by a sensor network.  A Y-8Q could act as a command center for Chinese 
UUVs and long range anti-submarine rockets to effectively deny large 
areas of water to enemy submarines without placing Chinese submarines or
 warships in danger.<br />

</div>
</div>
The Y-8Q will become a significant part of China's emerging ASW 
operations.  Its 5,000km range, wide sensor and weapon range and massive
 payload will exponentially increase Chinese security against enemy 
submarines off its coasts and into the East and South China Seas.  When 
combined with other ASW assets, such as underwater drones, missile 
launched torpedoes and sonar towing Type 056 corvettes and Type 54A Frigatte, it could make 
current and planned regional investment into submarines by China's 
neighbors more of a risky proposition.<br />

    The first Y-8Q, "731", also pulled duty as a babysitter for these
 Chinese toddlers during art class.  While it would be highly unusual in
 either China or the USA to allow civilians such close access to a 
sensitive military prototype, its rather unlikely that these 
preschoolers would expose defense secrets with Crayon and paper.<br />

In the future, when the United Kingdom goes to war, it will do so 
with small, tank-like vehicles. Last month, the U.K.'s Ministry of 
Defense approved the <a class="linkTargets-processed external" href="http://www.defensenews.com/story/defense/land/vehicles/2015/02/17/scout-gets-thumbs-up-at-design-review/23552713/" target="_blank">next stage</a>
 of development for the General Dynamics Scout Specialist Vehicle. From 
the body of the Scout, the U.K. plans to build and use a family of 
vehicles.<br />

For all but the most technically minded observers, the Scout is 
exactly what it looks like: a tank, complete with gun inside a turret on
 top and an armored body. But appearances here are a tad deceiving. The 
Scout’s 40mm main gun is fine for a smaller vehicle but dwarfed by the 
120mm main cannons of tanks like the M1 Abrams. And, while the Scout 
will do the jobs of a lighter tank, it will weigh almost three times as 
much as <a class="linkTargets-processed external" href="http://www.army.mod.uk/equipment/23242.aspx" target="_blank">the light armored vehicle</a>
 it's replacing. The main version will do exactly what the name implies:
 scouting ahead of the main force, including in places where it's safer 
to be inside an armored chassis. Besides the scout version, the U.K. 
plans on using some of these tanks as repair vehicles, mobile command 
centers, armored personnel carriers, and <a class="linkTargets-processed external" href="http://www.janes.com/article/42735/update-uk-places-gbp3-5-billion-scout-sv-order" target="_blank">several other roles</a>.<br />

The Scout will have several other defensive features, such as sound 
sensors, laser warnings, and various electronic countermeasures. It 
isn’t quite like DARPA’s vision
 for a tank that protects itself by having less armor, but it does use a
 hybrid approach, combining a tough exterior with modern advances.<br />
Of course, what <a class="linkTargets-processed external" href="http://www.eng.umd.edu/%7Eaustin/enes489p/lecture-resources/BradleyFightingVehicle-Scenario.pdf" target="_blank">starts as a scout vehicle</a> doesn’t always <a class="linkTargets-processed external" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXQ2lO3ieBA" target="_blank">stay just a scout vehicle</a>. If the Scout passes another review later this year, it’s expected to enter service with the United Kingdom around 2020.<br />

WS-20 Aircraft Engine Takes To The Sky

<div class="field-body">
    The WS-20 engine is the one on the inner port (left side) of this
 Il-76 testbed.  The China Flight Test Evaluation (CFTE) has an Il-76 
for high altitude testing of engines, such as the WS-10 and 
WS-20.  The WS-20 is wider and bulkier than the D-30 engines powering 
the IL-76, since it has a higher bypass ratio (meaning a wider fan) for 
fuel efficiency.<br />

</div>
</div>
China's most powerful aircraft engine, the WS-20, is getting closer 
to finishing its tests. With a power output of 14 tons, the WS-20 will 
replace the less powerful and less efficient Russian D-30KP, which has 
only 10.5 tons of thrust.  The WS-20 turbofan has been flying on this 
Il-76 test aircraft since 2014, and it's likely that aerial testing will
 wrap up in late 2015.<br />
<br />

    The WS-20 turbofan engine can deliver up to 14 tons of thrust, 
which makes it comparable to the CFM-56 engine with powers Airbus 320 
and Boeing 737s.<br />

</div>
</div>
China has made progress in replacing foreign engines for its fighter 
programs, but it still relies on the D-30KP turbofan to power subsonic 
aircraft such as the Y-20 heavy transport and H-6K bomber.  The WS-20 is
 believed to derive its engine core from the WS-10A turbofan engine, 
which powers the Shenyang J-11B and J-16 strike fighters.<br />

 smaller D-30 engines at the bottom, while the more powerful and

</div>
</div>
The WS-20 entering into Chinese service would provide performance 
boosts to the Y-20, increasing its payload to 66 tons from the 
prototype's 50 tons.  That would give the ability to fly heavy 
battle tanks and missile launchers across the Asian continent, as well 
as a larger Y-20-based aerial tanker.  The WS-20 could also be a 
domestic powerplant for military derivatives of the C919 jetliner, which
 would be used for airborne warning and control, and anti-submarine 
missions.<br />

The US/UK spy agencies’ phone-hacking scandal

<br />
<br />
<br />
US and British spy agencies successfully hacked the world’s largest SIM 
card manufacturer. The hack allowed the spy agencies to potentially 
monitor the calls, texts, and emails of billions of mobile users around 
the world. They essentially stole the encryption keys used to protect 
the privacy of mobile communication, which essentially allowed the spy 
agencies to sidestep the need to for a warrant or a wiretap. Erin weighs
 in.<br />
<br />
Then, Edward sits down with Jim Rickards – chief global strategist at 
West Shore Funds and author of “The Death of Money.” Jim tells us why 
the US dollar is so strong and gives us his take on Fed Chair Janet 
Yellen’s comments on the Fed’s policy decisions being data dependent.<br />
<br />
After the break, Boom Bust producer Bianca Facchinei takes a look at a 
new report on lifetime earnings by the New York Federal Reserve and what
 it means for millennials – most of which are already saddled with 
student loan debt. Afterwards, Boom Bust producer Melissa Kolpak reports
 on the app economy and gives us her take on the most helpful apps.<br />
<br />
And in The Big Deal, Erin and Edward are talking about the latest in 
tech including Apple Pay and a possible Apple car. Take a look!<br />
