 Here we have the first sighting of a German-delivered HLR 338 (Pro) precision rifle at a Ukrainian shooting range. In total, Germany has delivered 65 HLR 338 to #Ukraine, with another 385 being pledged. This precision rifle is specially designed for long-range shooting. |

What's old is new. Found out Paraguay still uses Sherman tanks (and possibly M3 Stuarts):
A 105mm?  With what I think is an Izzie 60mm cannon

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By dedreckon: What's old is new. Found out Paraguay still uses Sherman tanks (and possibly M3 Stuarts): A 105mm? https://tanks-encyclopedia.com/coldwar-argentina-sherman-repotenciado/ Continued Service in Paraguay Paraguay received 3 M4A4 Shermans in 1971 from Argentina, which they would return in 1988 in exchange for three Repotenciados. The Shermans Paraguay received were two M4A4s and one Composite Sherman. Their registration numbers were 030-01,02,03 with the Composite Sherman being 030-02. A Paraguayan general wanted to use the Repotenciados as passive onlookers during his coup in February 1989, but when the government was overthrown on 3rd February 1989, the tanks did not leave their barracks because all the crews were on vacation. The Paraguayan Sherman Repotenciados were retired from service in 2018.

 Attached File"A Marine CH-53K with a pilot from Marine Test and Evaluation Squadron 1 (VMX-1) at the controls recently did all of this while helping move the remains of the first F-35C test jet, also known as CF-1, from one base to another on April 24. The King Stallion carried the "inoperable airframe, which was without mission and propulsion systems, outer wings, or additional equipment" from Naval Air Station Patuxent River in Maryland to Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) Lakehurst some 160 miles to the northeast, according to a caption accompanying the picture seen at the top of this story, which was released yesterday. NAWCAD Lakehurst is situated within Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst. What's left of CF-1 will be used for "future emergency recovery systems testing" at its new home in New Jersey, the Navy says." https://www.twz.com/air/check-out-this-marine-ch-53k-carrying-an-f-35c-while-refueling-from-a-kc-130j  Check Out This Marine CH-53K Carrying An F-35C While Refueling From A KC-130T |

 Ukrainian Leopard 1A5DK with ERA Image of Leopard-1A5 with standard modernization carried out by one of the specialized organizations have appeared. The upper front plate is equipped with the "Nizh" ERA, while the turret is equipped with the "Kontact-1". The Leopard 1A5DK was equipped with a welded turret with spaced armor, while the hull remained similar to the first Leopard-1 modifications. Additionally the ERA was installed on the sides of the hull. With a slight increase in weight it was possible to significantly increase tank protection. Composite damping materials and light alloys are also used in the protective structures. |

Quote HistoryWouldn't think RPG fence is needed on the turret front - thats the most heavily armored part. Hull top for sure (by driver). It's supposed to be very thin. Also turret roof especially blow out panels as we've seen those destroyed. |

 On the 9 October 1966, LTJG William T. Patton of VA-176 shot down a North Vietnamese MiG-17 near Hanoi while flying the Douglas A-1H Skyraider (BuNo. 137543). The kill was observed by his section leader, LT Peter Russell. “Spads four – MiGs nothing”: Skyraider MiG Kills Part II  ETA Skyraider shoes?!!!

Another Vietnam era Skyraider photo:
 Via Wikipedia: A U.S. Navy Douglas A-1H Skyraider (NE-572, BuNo 135297) "Paper Tiger II" (which was a temporary name used for just this one flight) of Attack Squadron 25 (VA-25) "Fist of the Fleet" being readied for a mission over the Mekong Delta aboard the aircraft carrier USS Midway (CVA-41), in October 1965. VA-25 was assigned to Attack Carrier Air Wing Two (CVW-2) aboard the Midway for a deployment to Vietnam from 6 March to 23 November 1965. To commemorate the mark of having delivered 6,000,000 lb. (2721.56 to) of ordnance NE-572 was equipped with a special "bomb", a toilet! The toilet was a damaged toilet, which was going to be thrown overboard. One of the plane captains of VA-25 saved it and the ordnance crew made a rack, tailfins and nose fuse for it. VA-25 personnel maintained a position to block the view of the Air Boss and the ship's Captain while the aircraft was taxiing forward to the catapult. The plane was piloted by X/O CDR Clarence W. Stoddard, wingman was LCDR Robin Bacon (in NE-577, BuNo 139768, with LT Clint Johnson shot down a MiG-17 on 20 June 1965). When the "sani-flush-bomb" was dropped, it almost hit LCDR Bacon's plane due to its light weight.   04 NOV 1965 - VA-25's Toilet Bomb Video #3 |
