The Aircraft Carrier Shitstorm Thread
Priory_of_Sion replied to Sturgeon's topic in Naval Discussion
Admiral Kuznetsov's air fleet did a good number of combat sorties back in 2016, but that ship isn't getting any younger and recently had a significant fire. It would be useful for Russia to have a small carrier fleet to deploy to places like they'd like to involve themselves in places as they've done in Syria (and are kinda doing in Libya). -

The Soviet Tank Thread: Transversely Mounted 1000hp Engines
Priory_of_Sion replied to T___A's topic in Mechanized Warfare
I was wondering this too. I can only imagine it would be useful if they were testing some updated fire control system that’s being used on T-55s in Syria or Libya but I’m not aware of any.- 5,187 replies

Wasn't aware that in 2019 the US was still testing the accuracy and fire control of the T-55 which unfortunately led to two deaths after a HEAT round exploded inside the vehicle at Aberdeen.- 5,187 replies

I've sorta assumed the Sten was named in a similar fashion to the Bren, but it seems like that's not the case:

TIL about the "death spears" of Australia. These spears have their relatively simple wooden tips covered in adhesive yellow gum sap with multiple embedded stone, wood, and shell chips with later post-European contact spears sometimes including glass shards as an advancement over the stone chips. Unlike most spears used by hunter-gatherers these seem to have been more specialized for use in warfare instead of a more utilitarian design that can be used for hunting game. Sure, you could kill someone with a regular spear or a wooden club, but the death spears went further and the microliths in the spear tip would imbed in flesh and cause more damage, especially if an attempt to remove the spear was tried, along with a higher probability for infection. These death spears and similar bone-barbed "war spears" in Australia were usually ~10 feet in length and apparently noticeably bulkier than the ~8 ft spears used for hunting. Aborginal Australians also had their own form of the atlatl called the woomera which helped them fling spears ~70 yards. There has been a couple British accounts of early settlers & convicts being killed with these spears; sometimes even after the spear was removed. The archeological record suggests that these spears have been in Australia for a while, as recently a skeleton which has been found with microliths found within their bodies matching the description of a death via the death spear has been dated to 4000 years before present. Microliths have been found as late as 15000 years ago, yet it is kinda hard to establish whether these microlith chips were used for death spears. I got most of this info from Allen & Jones' "Violence and Warfare among Hunter-Gatherers" and Davidson (1934)
