Finally got to see The Defeat of the Floating Batteries at Gibraltar by John Singleton-Copley. It depicts a definitive moment of the great siege of Gibraltar, fought during the American Revolution. It was evacuated from London during the Blitz - just three weeks later the place where it was located, the Guildhall, burned down. It’s also absolutely huge - when the Guildhall was rebuilt it had to be built around it.

I just know Jake is no handy man. If something breaks, you can bet your first born that he'll try and mend it, but will inevitably end up making the problem 125% worse and calling in either Norm or Neytiri to help him. (Or he'll hide whatever is broken in really obvious, badly concealed places).

Defenders of Ukraine Showed How They Use Czech Howitzers DANA - Technology Org

Artillery is still a very important part of modern warfare. Especially self-propelled howitzers that can quickly react to the movement of enemy forces. The defenders of Ukraine showed how they successfully attacked a column of Russian armoured vehicles with Czech self-propelled howitzers DANA.

A short video showing the actions of the defenders of Ukraine was released by the Commander of the Ground Forces of Ukraine, Oleksandr Pavlyuk. He did not reveal where the operation took place or when the video was taken but it involved the 21st and 56th Mechanised Brigades of Ukraine.

“Enemy infantry, TOS-1A Solntsepyok, a tank and a BMP with soldiers were destroyed,” Pavlyuk wrote. The TOS-1A is a multiple launch rocket system, sometimes called a heavy flamethrower due to its thermobaric rounds. It is a particularly hated weapon by the Ukrainians and the most expensive weapon mentioned by Pavlyuk.

This attack was carried out by drones and Czech howitzers DANA. If you want to be precise, the DANA is not a Czech, but a Czechoslovakian howitzer, which is reflected in its 152.4 mm calibre, typical of Eastern Bloc countries. However, Ukraine received these howitzers from the Czech Republic, which is one of Ukraine’s strongest military supporters.

The DANA howitzer was created around 1976 and entered service in 1981. It is a large artillery piece mounted on a Tatra 8×8 chassis. Weighing around 30 tonnes, this weapon is said to be capable of reaching speeds of up to 80 km/h and performs very well off-road. This is important because howitzers like the DANA are often on a quick-fire mission and retreat so that the enemy can’t calculate their location using counter-battery radars. DANA howitzers usually participate in shoot-and-scoot operations.

DANA’s internal ammunition compartment holds 60 rounds. More can be delivered using other machines. This howitzer destroys targets at a distance of up to 20 km and its rate of fire is 2-5 shots per minute. In addition to the main gun, the DANA also has a 12.7 mm machine gun, mainly needed for self-defence in case it is ambushed while on the move from one position to another. The crew of the DANA howitzer consists of 5 soldiers.

In 2021, a modernized version of DANA M2 with improved fire control and communication systems was introduced. DANA actually became the basis of several modern self-propelled howitzers. For example, the 155 mm Zuzana and DITA are close relatives of the DANA howitzer. Ukraine is still waiting for its DITAs, but soon it will be operating pretty much all versions of DANA.

The DANA is a quick and reliable howitzer. It can deliver quick blows to the advancing Russian forces and then retreat. Ukraine will need more of these kinds of weapons in the near future and it’s good to know that they are coming.

I love how firefighter Clarke is always on high alert whenever she sees Lexa lighting dozens of candles around their room 😂

Clarke didn't use to notice because she was barely home before. She thought they were just for romance mood or something, and she had never really seen Lexa light them all at once.

When she quits the military and starts working as a firefighter, that's when she realizes that oh my god, my wife is surrounded by a constant fire hazard. And Lexa refuses to change the way she was living before Clarke stayed at home more, so Clarke in always in a constant stress seeing that many candles, Lexa she's a firefighter, you know how /embarrassing/ it would be for her to be called to her own house because her wife burned it down with a few too many candles??!! C'mon Lexa! fjbsdhkf

Randall Chaney's article in The Armory Life reviews the SureFire Mini Scout Light Pro, a tactical flashlight ideal for mounting on defensive rifles such as the Springfield Armory SAINT Victor. Chaney's longstanding experience with SureFire's quality illumination tools encompasses this new model, which is designed for both close and long-range lighting scenarios, ensuring peripheral visibility. The flashlight, offered in black or tan, is exceptionally durable with its Mil-Spec aluminum construct and is designed to be user-friendly with a simple installation process onto M-Lok or MIL-STD-1913 rails. The light's 500-lumen Hybrid Beam Pattern is particularly suited for tactical environments, balancing brightness with situational awareness needs. Capable of running for an hour on a single 123A battery, the Mini Scout Pro is built for intermittent use to prevent detection, following the strategy of lighting and moving silently. Chaney appreciates its performance, deeming it a permanent addition to his duty rifle, while also highlighting SureFire's legacy of innovation in reliable illumination and tactical products.

tags, and this is the particular quote mentioned in them.

" I saw young Americans killed by the very weapons I created to defend and protect them. And I saw that I had become part of a system that was comfortable with zero accountability. "

i like thinking of. tony didn’t know who much of the rest of the convoy died. do you think he’s also hoping that rhodey’s alive. do you think seeing him in the helicopter is less relief at being found and more at that his friend is alive. listen,,,

i do NOT like thinking about this but absolutely i do in fact think every single time about how the only thing tony knows for sure about the convoy is that everyone in at least 2/3 of the humvees died. just sitting in that cave for three months having no way of knowing if rhodey made it out or not i do in fact think of this and it does kill me yes i am LISTENING,

like his insane plan works and he survives but yinsen dies and he's got this thing in his chest and he's crash landed in the desert and maybe rhodey's dead and maybe nobody's even looking for him. and then the helicopter comes. and it's the air force which always means rhodey and rhodey comes out of the helicopter sorry can't type too busy crying

tony and rhodey not knowing if the other is even alive but refusing to give up hope and finally three months later running towards each other in the desert HEY HOW WAS THE FUNVEE, DUMBASS
