Putin has declared that Russia has a SLAM/Project Pluto-style nuclear cruise missile, the fabled "Status-6" nuclear UUV/torpedo, and a new hypersonic missile which I don't know too much about.

Appears to be a combination of inviting a Sikh separatist to dinner by mistake, and dressing like a stereotype.

The Taliban should have handed over Osama bin Laden when they had the chance in 2001.

 

They kinda tried after a couple of days, but I don't know how much I'd trust them to actually carry this out if things went differently. 

I'm anxiously waiting for the Turkey's K2-derived Altay to have all these teething problems which will be denied with as much vigor as the Indians defend the Arjun. 

Stop thinking and fully accept the narrative on the memo that you want to be true

I've always enjoyed this quote on nematodes:

Quote

In short, if all the matter in the universe except the nematodes were swept away, our world would still be dimly recognizable, and if, as disembodied spirits, we could then investigate it, we should find its mountains, hills, vales, rivers, lakes, and oceans represented by a film of nematodes. The location of towns would be decipherable, since for every massing of human beings there would be a corresponding massing of certain nematodes. Trees would still stand in ghostly rows representing our streets and highways. The location of the various plants and animals would still be decipherable, and, had we sufficient knowledge, in many cases even their species could be determined by an examination of their erstwhile nematode parasites.

Any idea what this could be? The only Vickers light tank of the era I can think of is the Mk.VI, but why bother testing it in 1945?

 

 

The Harry Hopkins? 

Testing may have less to do with the current tank and more about learning how to improve future vehicle designs. 

The best one is from this Libyan bunker system

At this point, the Kennedy Clan's main purpose is to hold the line on the Democrat Party's eroding support among white, working-class families/union members and old retirees living on the Atlantic coast. 

 

If modern politics were World War 1, the Kennedys are the Salonika Front. 

The Democratic Party is the Italians at the Isonzo 

What’s this? Is this a rail gun? 

I thought this was going to be about actual worms and I'm now disappointed. 

I just came across this paper on the intestinal worms of a German soldier in France during WW1, yeah worms are cool

TBH its better than the Arjun, INSAS, Tejas, and the Arihant combined

But then the issue of quality control gives fuel to the sputtering methane flame that is the TEH F-35 IS BAD crowd.

But you gain all the weirdo Indian nationalists as F-35 fans 

Some news sites reported that India was going to get to produce its own F-35 JSFs. They were wrong.

Looks like Iraq is going to try to get its own tank with some Czech help, the Asad Babil-2 Kafil-1.
