yeah it makes you wonder if they've fixed the problem.

V-22s have this downward-facing heat exhaust from the rotors which doesn't interact well with certain types of soil mixtures that get kicked up in a cloud, basically turning into microparticles of glass that then get sucked into the engines and then it crashes and kills everybody onboard.



the V-280 will be a faster and longer-range black hawk

Taira. The literal neonazi Azov 'medic' that kidnapped a girl and pretended to be her mother to escape. That's who it is.

Key section of China-Russia gas pipeline completed
1–2 minutes

BEIJING, Dec. 7 (Xinhua) -- A key section of the China-Russia east-route natural gas pipeline project has been completed, allowing natural gas from Russia to be transported to China's eastern economic powerhouse Shanghai.

With a total length of 5,111 km, the cross-border gas pipeline enters China via the border city of Heihe in northeastern Heilongjiang Province and runs through nine provincial-level regions, supplying natural gas to areas along the route, including Beijing, Shanghai, and Tianjin, PipeChina, the construction company, said Wednesday.

By 2025, the pipeline is expected to supply 38 billion cubic meters of natural gas annually, equivalent to reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 164 million tonnes per year, according to the company.

The key energy corridor will inject a strong impetus into the energy security and high-quality development of the eastern regions of the country, the company said. ■

A wheeled fortress: tasks of an armoured train of the Western Military District in special military operation

🚂 A special train is armed, as they say, 'to the teeth'. The personnel are equipped with small arms, ranging from submachine guns to large-calibre machine guns. There is also an anti-aircraft launcher for destroying air and ground targets. A coaxial 23mm cannon on the train is the main calibre. There are also sniper positions. The gunners are on alert. There is more than just scenery outside the window. The attention is to the smallest details.

🛠 Despite its formidable appearance, the special train's primary tasks include technical reconnaissance, mine clearance and, if necessary, the restoration of destroyed roadways. And a powerful set of weapons enables the personnel to operate even in the most difficult conditions.

💪🏻 Every day the special train, despite the difficulties, copes with its task 💯%

the U.S. military is fixated on complicated technological solutions to failures in the past

the V-22 came about in the first place because of the failed embassy rescue mission in iran. the basic idea was that it failed because they used helicopters, but those didn't have the range, so they had to land in the desert and then land refueling tankers to refuel the helicopters so they could get back out, and then one the helicopters crashed into the refueling plane. so they wanted an aircraft that can fly like a helicopter but can also travel farther, and that's the V-22

it's the same with the F-35. the reason why it's structurally designed so the marines can have a version with a lift fan is because the marines are still bothered by getting cut off for awhile on guadalcanal without air support for awhile in 1942

Over-reporting aside, this touches on a thing in British reporting of the Boer War, Battle of Mons and Malaya Emergency I had to pick through once. Basically at typical combat ranges a soldier can’t differentiate between a soldier going prone, as in taking cover or advancing in bounds, and being killed. It led to massive inflations of estimated enemy dead, not even at the cooking the books level, which happened too of course, but because the soldier saw an enemy in their sights, fired, and saw them drop. It just happens to turn out with records from the other side that they missed and - understandably - the person being shot at took cover.

The same applies to artillery observers seeing groups of men “disappear” after shells start to land. For Allied fighterbombers they basically could not differentiate between damage being done and not, so reported anything they shot at destroyed. With the famous Nazi “Stuka Aces” on the eastern front you have those reporters further exaggerated for propaganda or ideological purposes - “hordes of Soviet tanks destroyed” often turns out to be a small group, of which maybe a handful suffered minor damage.

That believing the reports about cannon-armed Stukas directly led to the design of the A-10 is funny in its own right.

is there any reason to believe reporting on enemy casualties has improved since world war two or are these also likely to be inflated because we have broad definitions as to what constitutes being dead or being an enemy combatant
