Unmanned aerial vehicle's operators detected one AFU stronghold. The target was attacked by FPV-drone. As a result, the AFU stronghold with military personnel was destroyed.
This long, dramatically shaped gun is one of only five highly decorated Sinhalese long arms ( bondikula thuwakkuwa ) known to survive from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Measuring more than seven feet in length it features a bifurcated butt––a characteristic unique to Sinhalese guns, thought to be in use since as early as the sixteenth century––and is distinguished by its remarkable ornamentation. Pierced ivory panels, sensitively carved with scrolling foliate designs ( liya vela and liya pata ) that emanate from and around two central flowers ( sīna-mala ), are inset into the stock, which itself is carved with scrolling foliate ornament ( liya pata ). Silver plates embossed with screwpine flowers ( vetakeyiya mala ) frame the lock, which is positioned on the left side of the gun, as was standard on Sinhalese firearms of the period. The two-stage barrel, with brass-inlaid transverse bands at its transition, is silver-damascened with an undulating vegetal motif ( l...
As Russia ratchets up the nuclear threat over the past few days, following their invasion of Ukraine, one of the weapons on people’s minds is Poseidon . This nuclear ‘mega torpedo’ is unique in the history of the world. Despite speculation, we do not believe that Poseidon has been deployed. The system is not yet ready. But it does raise concerns for nuclear stability in the near future. It changes the shape of nuclear deterrence and will become one of Russia’s most feared weapons. Poseidon is an ‘Intercontinental Nuclear-Powered Nuclear-Armed Autonomous Torpedo’. It is a giant torpedo which can hit coastal cities with devastating results. Compared to an intercontinental ballistic missile it is very slow, but possibly unstoppable . Russia maintains that it can also be used as a tactical nuclear weapon against warships. High-value targets would include aircraft carriers. This is harder to rationalize than the second-strike nuclear deterrence role, but it is ...
The M270 Multiple Launch Rocket System ( M270 MLRS ) is an American armored , self-propelled , multiple rocket launcher . The first M270s were delivered to the U.S. Army in 1983. The MLRS has since been adopted by several NATO countries . Some 1,300 M270 systems have been manufactured in the United States and in Western Europe, along with more than 700,000 rockets . Production of the M270 ended in 2003, when a last batch was delivered to the Egyptian Army . MLRS was developed in 1977–80s jointly by the United Kingdom, United States, West Germany, France and Italy, developed from the older General Support Rocket System (GSRS), and initially fielded in the late 1980s. The M270 MLRS weapons system is collectively known as the M270 MLRS Self-Propelled Loader/Launcher (SPLL). The SPLL is composed of three primary subsystems: the M269 Loader Launcher Module (LLM), which also houses the electronic Fire Control System, is mat...
