  1. Haftar was allegedly swindled by a group of South African/British/Australian/US mercenaries who later fled to Malta. The total damage from this one deal is said to be around 55 million USD. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/africa/libya-haftar-uk-us-tripoli-war-arab-armed-forces-military-a9558906.html
  2. Another part of the commedy series
  3. I guess that installing the high velocity one on smaller and lighter vehicles will be a problem therefore I expect that there will be many more low velocity ones fielded in the end.
  4. Allegedly one soldier was wounded in the mine blast.
  5. USAF C-130H No.46706 overshot a runway and crashed into a wall in Camp Taji, Iraqy, yesterday. Four crew members were injured.
  6. I have noticed that the twitter folks started to call it AWC aka Armoured Wagner Carrier.
  7. Aaand those Su-24M without insignia in the background? Anyway this MiG-29 on the photo is 9.13, right?
  8. TSK soldiers were allegedly attacked near Sarmin and took casualties.
  9. GNA captured Bani Walid airbase. LNA is on hasty retreat nearly everywhere. Destroyed Pantsir in Tarhuna base.
  10. GNA is steamrolling in Lybia capturing Tripoli international airport and Molga airbase with at least one Mi-24 and several Agustas (maybe not airworthy but the Mi-24 looks to be in quite a good shape). Also a lot of other ghanima including vehicles.
  11. This remind me that some people consider the battle of Kutná Hora (December 1421 - January 1422) as the first use of tank tactics. In this winter battle which took nearly three weeks (which is extraordinary enough for medieval battles) Jan Žižka allegedly used canon fire from a moving convoy of war wagons in a fashion later used by ships of the line. He used that in a successful night breakthrough from an encirclement. (interestingly Žižka was already blind by that time). In the end despite the initial setbacks Žižka crushed the second anti-Hussite Crusade. Nobody knows today if it actually happened that way. Maybe it did, maybe it didn't.
  12. Czech army is going to buy 52 Caesar SPH on Tatra chassis (probably similar to the Danish ones). The contract shall be signed before the end of year. https://www.idnes.cz/zpravy/domaci/obrana-nakup-dela-caesar.A200604_061545_domaci_bur The old Vz.77 Danas are to be kept in reserve.
  13. Was this video already here? An action onboard camera footage compilation from VKS Mi-24P in Syria (2016 most likely).
  14. American patrol hit by a PGS (precision guided stone).
  15. It looks like the reason for the crash was a bird strike. https://theaviationist.com/2020/06/02/bird-strike-possible-factor-in-snowbirds-ct-114-crash-that-killed-one-injured-pilot/
  16. When talking about the calibres. Anyone knows why ze Germans used 77 mm in WW1?
