AL-HASAKAH, SYRIA – SEPTEMBER 7: US forces provide military training to PKK, listed as a terrorist organization by Turkiye, the U.S. and the EU, and the YPG militia, which Turkiye regards as a terror group at the Al-Malikiyah district in the Al-Hasakah province, Syria on September 7, 2022. US Special Forces provided armed training to 240 YPG/PKK members in the area, close to the Turkish-Iraqi border. In the training, in which many US-made Bradley armored fighting vehicles were used, the militants were taught about the use of light and medium weapons.

There are many ways to measure the effectiveness of a tank. There’s its top speed, its armor, the range and power of its main gun. And then there’s how well a tank can balance a glass of beer.
Naturally the German military tested the last one.
In 1986 Germany unveiled the Leopard 2 tank, a new model that became popular with NATO nations for its firepower, speed and accuracy. The German Bundeswehr released a video showing off the tank’s capabilities, including firing its main 120mm gun while on the go.
The men were thin and weak, but knew if they stopped they would be hit, or have a dog sent on them, or maybe even be shot by an SS.

The MQ-9 Reaper, a derivative of the successful MQ-1 Predator UAV, is one of the largest and most dangerous drones in the U.S. Arsenal.
First flown in 2001, the U.S. intends to keep it in the air until 2035, and with good reason. This state-of-the-art Drone has been dubbed the first hunter-killer UAV for its excellent flight, endurance, range, sensors, and pinpoint accuracy when it Comes to attacking the enemy.

COL William “Billy” Mitchell resigned from the US Army in 1926. His rank was not commensurate with his courage and impact on the history of the US military and the United States, especially on World War 2. Enlisting as a private in 1899 in the Spanish-American War, he soon earned a commission. After serving in Cuba and the Philippines, he was stationed in Alaska where he began his lifelong love affair with aviation.
Two of NATO’s most cutting-edge main battle tanks (MBTs) are the Leopard 2 and the Challenger 2. Both tanks have a stellar reputation for superior weaponry and armor, making them invaluable on the battlefield.
Both the Leopard 2 and the Challenger 2 have their advantages and disadvantages, and this article will evaluate their characteristics, capabilities, protection systems, and weapons to see how they stack up against one another.
We will also discuss their track record of exports, operational history, and the upgrades they’ve undergone to be current and competitive.
Young people have a voice today. Unfortunately, their opinion has been radically influenced by the teachers that infuse in them their thinking. Whether you call it critical thinking or indoctrination is up to you. Role models in the formative years used to be the charter of parents. At some point, that moral obligation was transferred to “teachers” as two parent earners became responsible for breakfast and dinner but the interim time was “fully trusted to the teachers”. Trust but verify was a Reagan priority but lost in recent years.
