Here's something most people get wrong about the F-35: the story that its price kept falling until it cost about the same as a fourth-generation fighter. That argument has now run out of road. The new Lot 18 and 19 numbers tell a very different story, and each variant is a different story again.

What the F-35A, F-35B and F-35C actually cost in 2026:
https://migflug.com/afterburner/f-35-price-2026-variant-costs-lots-18-19/

The latest F-35 price figures are in: $92 million for an F-35A, $121.4 million for an F-35B and $110.8 million for an F-35C, all programme records.

Buying more of a good fighter sounds like an easy win. The Pentagon just published the fine print on doubling the F-15EX Eagle II order to 267 jets, and it reads like a warning: supply chain, engines, and a production line that was never sized for this. Why a bigger order is never just a bigger cheque: https://migflug.com/afterburner/f-15ex-eagle-ii-267-jets-pentagon-report-risks-2026/

In 1937, Focke-Wulf flew a fighter roughly 80 km/h faster than the Bf 109 - on the very same engines. Twice the range. Twice the weight, and it still outran the aircraft it was measured against. Nine were built. The Fw 187 Falke is the story of a superb design that nobody in Berlin wanted.

Kurt Tank built the Fw 187 Falke to outrun the Bf 109 on the same engines. Nine were built and the Luftwaffe never ordered a single one.

Here's something most people don't know: South Korea's KF-21 Boramae only entered service recently – and Seoul is already sketching its successor. The KF-XX concept points at a sixth-generation stealth fighter flying with loyal-wingman drones. What we know so far, and what it says about the Pacific arms race:

https://migflug.com/afterburner/south-korea-sixth-generation-stealth-fighter-kf-xx-concept-2026/

South Korea has launched a concept study for a 6th-generation stealth fighter — tailless, broadband-stealth, AI-driven and drone-teamed, built on the KF-21.

Egypt was the first export customer for the Rafale. It may soon be the biggest.

Cairo has submitted a formal request for 24 more jets — a deal that would take the Egyptian fleet to 78 airframes and make it the largest Rafale force outside France.

Eleven years after the first order, the Nile has become Dassault's best argument.

Some aircraft are cancelled because they fail. The Douglas F5D Skylancer was cancelled because it was too good. It went supersonic on its very first flight, handled beautifully, and impressed every pilot who touched it — including a young NASA test pilot named Neil Armstrong, who later used one to practise landing the X-20 spaceplane. The Navy bought four and then walked away. https://migflug.com/afterburner/douglas-f5d-skylancer-cancelled-nasa-neil-armstrong/

The Douglas F5D Skylancer went supersonic on day one, then lost to the F8U Crusader. NASA and Neil Armstrong gave it a second life.

Uzbekistan has just confirmed it: Chinese J-10CE fighters are joining its air force. That's a former Soviet republic, long flying MiGs and Sukhois, now buying its front-line jets from Beijing. The map of who flies what in Central Asia is shifting fast.

Full story: https://migflug.com/afterburner/uzbekistan-confirms-j-10ce-fighters-2026/

Uzbek state TV footage confirmed Uzbekistan flies the Chinese J-10CE — the second export customer after Pakistan, and a first for Central Asia.

The Hormuz war just widened. Iranian ballistic missiles fell on Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan on Monday, Patriot batteries went to work, and US aircraft answered with strikes on Iran's air defences. Why the most consequential fighting of the weekend happened over Jordan, not Iran: https://migflug.com/afterburner/us-strikes-iran-air-defences-jordan-muwaffaq-salti-2026/

US strikes Iran’s air defences and launch sites, CENTCOM says, a day after Iranian ballistic missiles fell on Jordan’s Muwaffaq Salti Air Base.

A French-built Rafale taking fuel from a Chinese Y-20 tanker over Egypt. That happened this week during Eagles of Civilization 2026, and as far as anyone can tell it is a first. Small hose, big signal about where Cairo is hedging its bets.
https://migflug.com/afterburner/chinese-yy-20-tanker-refuels-egyptian-rafale-eagles-of-civilization-2026/

A PLAAF YY-20A refuelled an Egyptian Rafale at Eagles of Civilization 2026 — the first documented Chinese tanker to fuel a Western-built fighter.

Here's a dogfighting trick that sounds backwards: to catch a turning enemy, you pull UP and away from him. It's called the high yo-yo, and it turns excess speed into a kill. Full explainer:

https://migflug.com/afterburner/high-yo-yo-dogfight-maneuver-explained/

Behind the enemy and closing too fast? The high yo-yo is the elegant fix — trade speed for altitude, avoid the overshoot, then convert it into a firing position.
