The Sriracha founder also won't budge on taste. A supplier once told David Tran that his sauce was too spicy. A friend suggested to “add a tomato base” to make it sweeter. Tran replied: “Hot sauce must be hot. If you don’t like it hot, use less. We don’t make mayonnaise here.”

A historical reminder about how ingenuity of the weak can do some form of sea denial, through simple act of improvisation. Neither state of the art nor perfect setup, but still ok so long it can accomplish its mission.

June 2nd: Argentine MM38 Exocet missiles are strapped to an ingenious firing platform dubbed the "ITB" (Instalacion de Tiro Berreta) or "Trashy Firing Platform" and hidden under netting around the houses of White City at the east of town. It will be brought out to fire by night.

Great article. FD2030 is not a one trick pony. W/ the continuing and wide global proliferation of precision missiles/UAVs this force will have wide applicability. Dispersed, lethal, mobile, sensing.

It was important to start my visit in Bucha. Because in Bucha our humanity was shattered. My message to Ukrainian people: Those responsible for the atrocities will be brought to justice. Your fight is our fight. I’m in Kyiv today to tell you that Europe is on your side.
