    The Doolittle Raid didn't make much sense and did negligible damage but it rattled the Japanese public. I sense that this was done for a similar reason.

    True. Alternatively think about what Putin needs to have support for full mobilisation. Does this "raid" help him or doesn´t it? We will see.

    At this point in time, I give it a 90% chance the US defaults and the train called the economy goes over the cliff.   It should not have come to this but here we are...standing at the cliff's edge and that train is coming awfully fast and it doesn't look like going to even attempt to put on the brakes.  And if it goes over the cliff....what does this all mean for Western support for Ukraine?   That is the question haunting me right now.

     

    Somehow that reminds me of 2013. Im pretty sure a solution will be found.

    When a WW2 bomber was described as accurate, that probably meant that it could reliably get its bombs to land inside a football stadium, not that it could snipe tanks.

    Some De Havilland Mosquito Mk VI crews might want to disagree with your statement. 😉

    So between your post and Huba's it looks like there were at least two USV attacks on Russian ships recently. In at least one attack the USV struck the Russian ship. And in at least one attack the Russians were able to hit the USV with machine gun fire before it hit the ship.

    It is the attack on the same ship with allegedely three naval drones. One got blown up by the orcs, one hit the ship and the third we dont know about. We know however that an US drone was surveilling the area. I guess the ship got hit hard by at least one drone impact (see vid) and we are now all eager to learn about the actual damage of the ship.

    In 1994 the Danish were the first to use the Leopard 1 in combat in Bosnia vs Bosnian Serbs. The Danish acquired Leo 1A3 with welded turrets in 1976 and upgraded them to 1A5DK in the early 1990's.

    Fast forward to 2023 and it looks like Operation Bully Bashing II is on the way. Lets hope for the Mouse to feast on another Cat 😀

    Yep. Danish 1 A5 is different from german 1 A5 with regards to turret shape.
