The Sukhoi Su-57, formerly known as the ‘PAK FA’ or T-50, is a supermaneuverable fifth-generation strike fighter with stealth characteristics and the latest Russian avionics and weapons systems. The jet formally entered mass production in 2019, with Russia’s Aerospace Forces set to receive at least 76 of the planes before 2028.

The video, dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the founding of the legendary Chkalov State Flight Test Center, includes several seconds of footage of a Su-57 […]
An Ohio woman has been charged with trespassing and may face additional charges after she resisted arrest and refused to adhere to a school’s mandatory mask policy during her son’s middle school football game earlier this week. Facebook user Tiffany Lynn Kennedy argued in a Wednesday social media post that Logan Police Department (LPD) officers exhibited “police brutality at its finest” on Wednesday by immobilizing a woman with a stun gun and forcibly removing her from the Logan High School Stadium in Logan, Ohio. The LPD detailed in a Thursday news release that the bare-faced woman, identified as Marietta, Ohio, resident […]
Fox & Friends co-host Ainsley Earhardt learned some disturbing new information on Monday morning: Children can, in fact, contract the coronavirus. “We’re all worried about sending our kids back to school, what is that going to look like for our country and for our elderly grandparents and things like that,” Earhardt said during the morning broadcast. “97,000 kids have tested positive? That was such a shock to me, because I had heard kids really don’t get it, if they do, they’re all going to be OK.” She was referring to a new report from the American Academy of Pediatrics, which found […]
Mary Trump had a giant barrel of tea to spill about her family on today’s episode of “The New Abnormal” by The Daily Beast. She claims her uncle, President Trump, “was protected at every turn from his incompetence, from his total inability to handle money.” And the Republican party picked up where the media and the banks left off. Remember her grandfather Fred, the family patriarch who got arrested at a Ku Klux Klan rally? Mary was surprised by that news, but “not because my grandfather wasn’t antisemitic.” Nope, Mary was shocked her grandfather took time away from making money to […]
The threat follows a claim made by Rourke in September, when he alleged that Martin Scorsese wanted to cast him in his gangster epic The Irishman, but De Niro refused to work with Rourke in the movie. Social media users were left baffled after Mickey Rourke attacked Robert De Niro in an Instagram post, threatening to “severely” embarrass his 76-year-old fellow actor next time he meets him. The Oscar nominee claimed that his agent had learned about De Niro calling Rourke a liar. “Hey Robert De Niro, that’s right i am talking to you, you big f**king crybaby. A friend of […]

Donald Trump’s ex-adviser Steve Bannon has doubled down on the man-made nature of the coronavirus, claiming that Chinese “virus experts” have defected to the West and are now cooperating with intelligence agencies. The explosive allegations were made by Bannon in an exclusive interview with the Daily Mail. Describing the Wuhan outbreak as nothing less than a “biological Chernobyl,” he pointed the finger at the city’s secretive laboratory as the source of the virus. The facility has been “horribly run and terribly mismanaged,” Bannon claimed, adding that “it’s not that hard for these viruses to get out.” “I know that certain defectors […]
Dozens of US troops at two bases on the Japanese island of Okinawa have been confirmed infected with the coronavirus. Local authorities demand transparency from the Pentagon, and an adequate response to the massive outbreak. Rigorous contact tracing and isolation of those infected had so far allowed the island prefecture to keep the number of confirmed cases at about 150, with only 7 fatalities. Overall, as of July 10, Japan reported about 20,700 cases and nearly 1,000 deaths. Therefore, Okinawa Governor Tamaki Denny says local authorities were “shocked by what we were told” by the Pentagon about the scale of the latest […]

Having nerves of steel is an essential attribute for any confidence trickster, and Inigo Philbrick, 33, described as the art world’s Bernie Madoff for an alleged $20m fraud, certainly had those. Philbrick, who was arrested last week while strolling through the locked-down streets of the South Pacific island of Vanuatu, wearing just swimming trunks and a t-shirt, had made no attempt to hide his identity and had been using his own name to book tennis lessons and in dealings with local businesses on the island, the industry website Artnet reports. After being picked up, Philbrick was frogmarched to a Gulfstream jet […]
Jay Pharoah opened up to Gayle King about a frightening run-in with Los Angeles police during Wednesday’s CBS This Morning. The former Saturday Night Live cast member said he was stopped by police in April while jogging, and that he had not discussed his experience, which was captured on video, until recently for fear of taking away from discussions of George Floyd and Ahmaud Arbery. But now he’s ready to discuss what happened. “I’m walking across the street and then all of a sudden I hear, ‘Get on the ground,’” Pharoah said. “The cop from the left of me… he’s coming. […]

Known as “Storm”, Shlemenko had previously published videos showing himself taking dips in the water with his family […]
Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan has rebuffed US President Donald Trump’s vow to send in troops to remove protesters occupying an abandoned police station if local officials don’t act, saying it would be an “illegal” invasion. Responding to the president’s remarks earlier on Thursday – in which he threatened to directly intervene if Seattle officials don’t “take back” the city – the mayor insisted any such move would violate the protesters’ constitutional rights. “Lawfully gathering and expressing First Amendment rights, demanding we do better as society… is not terrorism, it’s patriotism,” Durkan said. The threat to invade Seattle is not only unwelcome, it’s illegal. Also […]
She is often offered help, but she always says she can do it herself – 35-year-old Svetlana Masterskikh from Guryevsk (15 km from Kaliningrad), a mother of two and the only long-distance trucker in the region, has followed this motto her whole life. ‘Buy Me a Truck!’ I Asked My Husband Svetlana started dreaming about driving a truck 15 years ago.
