One of the UK's most unique hotels corresponds to a strong naval built to defend Portsmouth Harbour of Napoleon III attacks. The experience starts on land, where a private boat will transport you to the hotel. The sumptuous rooms have huge beds, wood flooring, carpet leather and much, much space.

With three bars, a wine cellar, several game rooms and sauna, in fact there will not be much time to get bored. And as if that were not enough, the hotel has its own lighthouse with stunning views of the south coast of England.

Could the Russian Su-35 be a better warplane than the iconic US F-15?

It appears that one of the most successful warplanes in the world may have finally found its match.

The McDonnell Douglass F-15 Eagle all-weather tactical fighter aircraft has long been considered to be one of (if not the) most successful jet fighter in the world. However, the Russian Sukhoi Su-35 Flanker-E multirole fighter appears to be, at the very least, just as good, and perhaps even better than the venerable US warplane.
