Warthog Defense. Warthog Defense is a YouTube channel that specializes in videos on various military topics (See https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2JaXg63L_VqvXN4SwF4zOQ). In an effort to avoid "fake news," I attempted to learn who sponsors and runs Warthog Defense. My efforts to learn more about the channel were thwarted at every turn. Nowhere on the site is there any information about the channel’s creators or sponsors. It is almost as if there was a conscious and deliberate effort to hide the identity, national original, biases, and agenda of the creators of this site. I was also surprised I could not find a Wikipedia listing for this channel. The name “Warthog Defense” makes all internet searches for this site difficult as such searches return information on the common warthog (Phacochoerus africanus) and the A-10 Warthog aircraft. I searched deeper and still found nothing substantial. I can find no website associated with this YouTube channel.

The following is quoted from the About tab on the site:

"Description "Warthog Production brings you up-to-date international news and features on the defence industry, covering military projects, trends, products, services and more in the army sector.

"We are the only Youtube Channel that focuses on the technologies required by military personnel and companies working in this important field.

"When you combine this with one of the most comprehensive and detailed listings of military equipment suppliers, products and services you see why Warthog Production is the key point of reference for the defence industry."

These are substantial claims for the site. Any additional information about the origin, funding, or agenda for Warthog Defense is welcomed. This information is necessary to evaluate the trustworthiness of this site.
