In the January issue of AirForces Monthly (AFM) we look extensively at the US Navy and US Marine Corps current tactical fighters, the units, the weapons and explain what the future holds for the aging F/A-18 ‘classic’ Hornets and AV-8Bs.

An exclusive interview by Alan Warnes with the Commander of the Tornado Force, Air Cdre Harvey Smyth who has also taken on the mantle of Air Officer Lightning, explains what the future is for both types and how the Tornado is proving its worth in Operation Shader.

As Russia flexes its muscles, a new air defence system has gone into service, integrated with upgraded generations of Fulcrums and Flankers. Alexander Mladenov assesses the new national air defence system and its implications for the West.

Istvan Toperczer reports from Siauliai Air Base in Lithuania on the Hungarian Air Force JAS39 Gripens’ participation in the ongoing Baltic Air Policing mission.

AFM readers send in their images for our Base Watch section, this time we cover bases in the UK, Germany and Spain.

Our editorial comment returns this month, so see what we think about recent military aviation events such as SDSR and operations against IS. Let’s hear your views for our Feedback page.
As always, AFM’s Dave Allport brings you the latest military aviation news from around the world.
