Contents Listing - Articles & Features in this issue

Comment - AFMs opinion on the hot topics in military aviation.
New designations, old problems for Croatia - Detail changes have been made to the Croatian Air Force's order of battle, but the coronavirus has spelled bad news for ambitions to modernise the fighter arm, as Antonio Prlenda reports.
Jaguares - born in combat - The 'Jaguares' squadron of the Portuguese Air Force was born in combat, its aircraft first operating over the jungles of Africa during the insurgency wars fought in Portugal's overseas possessions. Paulo Mata charts the history of Esquadra 301, now flying the multi-role F-16AM/BM.
Italy's nightriders - The Italian Air Force is in the midst of a modernisation programme for its search and rescue and combat search and rescue units, as Mauro Finati and Paolo Rollino discovered on a visit to Cervia in the northeast province of Ravenna.
Postcard from Lebanon - AFM contributors Elio Viroli and Stenio Bacciocchi provide photos from a trip to the three main bases of the Lebanese Air Force at Hamat, Rayakand Beirut-Rafic Hariri.
48 Uzbek air power - Anthony Pecchi files a spectacular photo report from the little-known and rarely seen Uzbek Air Force.
Sahel air war Part One - AFM travelled to Niger and Mali to meet and fly with British, French, German, Spanish and US air units involved in the war against terror. In the first part of this feature, Jean-Marc Tanguy joins the RAF's Operation Newcombe in Mali.
Israel's 'Mighty Ones' - The Israeli Air Force was the first F-35 operator to expose the type to combat and is looking forward to receiving a dedicated flying testbed as it adds more indigenous equipment to the stealth fighter. Meanwhile, as Arie Egozi explains, Israeli industry has an eye on picking up increased workshare now Turkey has left the programme.
80 years supporting the Spanish Air Force Responsibility for heavy maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) of Spanish Air Force aircraft falls on the specialised workshops known as Maestranzas Aereas, three of which are currently active. Rafael Trevino Martinez and Salvador Mate Huertas investigate their work at Albacete.
Pushing the limits, Swedish style - The Swedish Defence Materiel Administration ensures the country's armed forces have the equipment they need to execute their mission. Thomas Newdick investigates how its Flight Test Centre handles trials of airborne systems and makes use of the unique range at Vidsel, within the Arctic Circle.
Tiger kings - AFM had the opportunity to visit VMFT-401 'Snipers,' an adversary squadron that's part of the US Marine Corps Reserve, reporting to Marine Aircraft Group 41. Riccardo Niccoli went to Marine Corps Air Station Yuma, Arizona to find out more.
INTEL REPORT: Reaching for the stars - UK combat air Over the past two years, Britain's military has made significant developments in its air combat capabilities. Alan Warnes looks at how UK combat air is planning for the future.
COMMANDER'S UPDATE BRIEFING: B-2, or not B-2? - In World War Two, the long-range bomber emerged as one of the most potent symbols of air power. But the dawn of the strategic missile threatened the manned bomber's primacy and, as Air Power Association President, Air Marshal (ret'd) Greg Bagwell CB CBE, explains, today it's the payload, not the platform that really counts.
Book reviews - AFM evaluates some of the latest offerings in aviation literature. This month: titles on Argentine A-4s over the Falklands, RAF Hunters in the Middle East, and Russian ekranoplans.
FORCE REPORT: Russia’s Western Military District - Russia's Western Military District is a territorial joint forces command on the front line of rising tensions with the Western world, and bordering with the NATO member states of Poland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. Alexander Mladenov assesses its strength.
Attrition - Dave Allport details the world's most recent military accidents, as well as the report into last year's inadvertent ejection of a passenger from a French Air Force Rafale B.
Coming up - See what's featuring in your AFM next month.

Cover: Anthony Pecchi's extraordinary capture of an Uzbek Air Force Su-25 ‘Frogfoot' loosing off a salvo of S-24 heavy unguided rockets against a ground target. For this issue, AFM was granted unique access to the various bases of the rarely photographed Central Asian air arm, which remains one of the least-known among all the former Soviet Republics. Anthony Pecchi Above: A low-level training flight for HH-101A MM81867 '15-04' of the 15° Stormo, somewhere over central Italy: during daylight this is the best tactic to remain hidden from enemy radar and safely approach the target. Turn to p40 for the full story of the Italian Air Force's powerful new Caesar combat search and rescue helicopters. Mauro Finati
