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.

So finally Kord is installed in the T-90M RCWS.

Allegedly one soldier was wounded in the mine blast.

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.

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.

The old Vz.77 Danas are to be kept in reserve.

Footage of the tragic accident of Canadian Snowbirds display team. It looks to me like if the engine lost thrust after the take-off and pilots tried to gain as much altitude as possible with the remaining speed but nevertheless ejected too low. The old CT-114 clearly doesn't have 0/0 ejecting seats.
It looks like the reason for the crash was a bird strike.
