In this episode of The PDB Situation Report: One week into the conflict with Iran, the coalition air campaign continues at full intensity as aircraft strike military targets across the country. Former U.S. Air Force fighter pilot Ryan Bodenheimer joins us to explain how these operations are unfolding, what the targets reveal about the strategy, and what the early days of the air war tell us about where the campaign could go next. The war may soon expand beyond the skies. Reports suggest Kurdish forces could engage Iranian troops along the country's western border, potentially opening a new front in the conflict. Bill Roggio from the Foundation for Defense of Democracies joins us to break down the possibility of Kurdish involvement and what it could mean for Tehran's already stretched military.

In this episode, Sean and James take to the skies to explore the dramatic rise of air combat during World War I. We trace how fragile, open-cockpit reconnaissance planes evolved into deadly fighters and bombers. We also will see how the various combatants introduced aerial tactics, which gave rise to aces like the Red Baron. We will discuss the first large-scale strategic bombing campaigns. We explore the daring lives and short survival rates of early pilots, the terror of zeppelin raids, and the birth of aircraft carriers and naval aviation. By the war’s end, aviation had been transformed from a novelty into a central weapon of modern warfare.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

GENERAL SPAATZ AND THE ETHICS OF BOMBING Colleague Evan Thomas. The conversation turns to General Carl "Tooey" Spaatz, who commanded the air war in the Pacific and demanded written orders before dropping the atomic bomb. Unlike the pragmatic Curtis LeMay, Spaatz was a proponent of precision bombing and was deeply troubled by the killing of civilians. The segment recounts the execution of the atomic missions, noting that while the Hiroshima drop went smoothly, the Nagasaki mission flown by Charles Sweeney was "snake bit," plagued by fuel issues and cloud cover that nearly caused the mission to fail.

By 1942, the skies over Germany were aflame with German fighters battling Allied bombers for the survival of Europe and the free world. Central to victory were the fighter planes of the Allies. At first they were obsolete and woefully inadequate. But with the advent of aircraft like the P-47 Thunderbolt and the P-51 Mustang, the tide of war was about to change. In this episode we hear the words of fighter aces Clarence "Bud" Anderson in his revolutionary P-51 and Francis "Gabby" Gabreski, flying the P-47 Learn more about your ad choices.

Russia ratcheted up air attacks by drones and missiles on Ukraine this week. The increase comes as President Trump has expressed frustration at Russian President Vladimir Putin's seeming unwillingness to enter talks to end the war. Trump indicated the U.S. would resume shipments of weapons to Ukraine that had previously been suspended. Our correspondent in Kyiv gives us the latest.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

As the Soviets were fighting the Germans all along a 1000 mile long front, they were demanding that the Allies in the west do something to open a second front against the Germans.  We'll get to the Allies eventual response to this in a couple of episodes, but the western allies had the same problem invading Europe that the Germans had had when they were thinking about invading Britain.  That problem was the English Channel.  In order to send an invasion fleet across the channel to land in France, the Allies had to have complete control of the air above the channel, to protect the invasion fleet from German planes.  So before the sea-borne invasion could take place, the Allies needed to defeat the Luftwaffe, or at least drive them back from their bases in France where they could attack an invasion fleet.  So the Allies started building up their air forces in Great Britain. The Royal Air Force, which had done such a heroic job of defeating the Luftwaffe in the Battle of Britain, had continued to build up its fighter and bomber forces.  But early 1942, they were joined by the newly formed American group, the Eighth Air Force.  The Americans began to ship men, planes, bombs and ammo, and fuel to Great Britain.  By the end of the war, the Americans are going to have over 200 airbases in Great Britain, with over half a million men on those bases, and over 50,000 planes. 

Israel and Iran enters its second week of conflict as the Israeli military issue another warning of incoming missiles from Iran this morning. With the latest on the situation we heard from Paul Kearns, journalist based in Tel Aviv and Gershon Baskin former Israeli hostage negotiator.

In this explosive segment, Tara Servatius and Lee uncover a stunning military and political reversal in the Middle East. As Israel carries out airstrikes without losing a single plane, Tara reveals how Trump has now delivered a chilling message to the Ayatollah: we know where you are—and surrender is your only peaceful option. They expose how the Biden administration's betrayal in Afghanistan, especially the abandonment of Bagram Air Base, may now force the U.S. to lead a high-risk, long-range strike on Iran's underground nuclear facility. From drone assassinations to the GBU-57 mega bomb, this episode connects foreign policy failures, media censorship, and election interference into one chilling conclusion: none of this would be happening if Democrats were still in charge.

For days Israel has been attacking Iran with airstrikes, which they say is an effort to degrade Iran's nuclear capabilities. Iran has been responding by firing missiles at Israel. We'll hear what has been hit and what targets may be next. And we compare the two countries' ability to defend against these types of attacks.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Assigned to the 493rd Bomb Squadron, 7th Bomb Group of the 10th Air Force stationed in India, he piloted B-24 bombers into Burma in a fight to prevent the Japanese from advancing north to China, then flew C-108 gas-hauling tankers across the formidable Himalayas to support the U.S. and Allied armies.

After many months long wait, F-16s have finally arrived in Ukraine. How are the Ukrainians likely to use them and what are the challenges and opportunities presented by the introduction of this new weapons platform? Dmitri Alperovitch talks with Justin Bronk,  Senior Research Fellow for Airpower and Technology at RUSI and and the editor of a just released book "The Air War in Ukraine." They discussed why F-16s will not play a transformative role on the battlefield, why Ukraine still needs Swedish Gripens, the opportunities for the use of Harpoons on F-16s to target Black Sea Fleet, opportunities for integration of Storm Shadow/SCALP missiles, the growing danger presented by Russian surveillance drones penetrating deeper and deeper into Ukrainian territory which is driving the urgency for development of anti-UAV UAV solutions, PATRIOT battery performance so far in Ukraine and discussion on the longer-term future of air power and integration challenges of combat jets with unmanned loyal wingman systems.

The Houthis continue to attack commercial vessels in the Red Sea amid Israel's assault in Gaza. This Yemen-based political and military organization says its disruption of international shipping is a response to Western support for Israel. It likely also hopes its attacks will revitalize flailing domestic support within war-torn Yemen.  The United States is no stranger to the Houthis. Since the start of Yemen's civil war in 2014, Washington has backed a Saudi-led coalition fighting the Iran-backed organization. More recently, the United States has launched airstrikes against the Houthis to try to deter future Red Sea attacks — though President Biden acknowledges the bombing to be ineffective. In this episode of None of the Above, the Institute for Global Affairs' Mark Hannah sits down with Alexandra Stark to help us better understand the Houthis, the illogic of America's approach to Yemen, and the lessons for dealing with the Houthis in the future. Alexandra Stark is an associate policy researcher at the RAND Corporation. Her research focuses on Middle East security and cooperation. Prior to that she was a senior researcher at New America. Her book, The Yemen Model: Why US Policy Has Failed in the Middle East is set for release in April by Yale University Press.
