Predictions: What Robert Mueller Will Do Next

A former prosecutor's insights...

Robert Mueller.

Robert Mueller's investigation is now one year old, Nelson W. Cunningham, a former federal prosecutor, reports on politico.com.

Watching the slow reveal of witnesses, search warrants, and subpoenas, the president's supporters and his opponents may despair that it will never come to an end, Cunningham wrote.

But buckle your seat belts and grab the oxygen masks.  It's about to get interesting Cunningham added.

Russia's Foxbat vs. the U.S. SR-71 and XB-70

The Soviets produced almost 1,200 MiG-25s...

The Soviet MiG-25 Foxbat was the only fighter that had a chance of catching the SR-71.

When the SR-71 Blackbird was revealed to the public by President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964, the Soviets were caught be surprise, Harold C. Hutchinson reports on wearethemighty.com.

The fact was, the SR-71 couldn't be caught by any air defense, rendered nearly invulnerable due to its blazing speed and high altitude, Hutchison wrote.

The Soviets, though, had a plane that could give it a close chase.  That plane was the MiG-25 Foxbat, and it was originally designed to catch another deadly airframe, the B-70 Valkyrie bomber.

High-tech sub hunter...

 heads for its new home port of San Diego, Calif.

The U.S. Navy announced this month that its restarting the 2nd Fleet to oversee the western Atlantic Ocean, including the North Atlantic and U.S. East Coast, Christopher Wood reports on businessinsider.com.

The decision comes after several years of tensions between NATO members and Russia -- and several warnings from Western officials about growing Russian naval activity, including more sophisticated and more active submarines, Wood wrote.

For NATO members and other countries, augmenting antisubmarine abilities means not only adding ships but also advanced maritime-patrol aircraft to scour the sea, he added.

A number of aircraft on the market fill this role, but the U.S.-made P-8A Poseidon is among the most sophisticated.
