I got this helicopter last week to fly over Canal. Notice my camera — though the best money can buy — is not stable. This is the same Sony Alpha A1 model New York Times used to capture the “bullet trace” in the Trump-ear-shot. I’ve used this camera several years. Fantastic gear but not good image stabilization in small vibrating helicopters. Upgrade time.

In February, Abdullah Öcalan — the long-imprisoned leader of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) — called on the group to lay down its arms and “dissolve itself” after more than 40 years of fighting Turkish forces. In an initial step, the PKK called for a ceasefire on March 1. In addition to significant implications for politics and security in Turkey, the development affects Kurds in Syria, Iraq, and Iran. Shifts in regional power structures over the last few months played a role in Öcalan’s decision, which in turn will help shape the geopolitics of the Middle East.

In Paris, MBDA CEO suggested the missile manufacturer will be capable of providing Europe with sovereign systems when the user requires.

Designed and built in the late 1950s, the AR-15 is one of the most iconic and influential firearms of all time. Direct variants like the M16 rifle and M4 carbine continue to see extensive use by military, police, and civilians in the 21st century. Moreover, the ergonomic layout of the AR-15’s controls is copied by modern designs like the Heckler & Koch HK416 and SIG MCX. However, the AR-15 is not the ArmaLite that is famously referenced in a popular Irish tune.

It looks like forces in the Trump administration pushing for war with Iran are going to get their way.

The Iranian intel ship Zagros (SIGINT) was sunk by U.S. forces amid wide-ranging strikes against Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip by Israel happening simultaneously.
The ship was commissioned only two months ago.

In a state of frenzy, Army Technician Fourth Grade James Lobnow, took up a hammer and smashed the buzzing bugs attacking his flesh. Deployed to Ramgarh, India, during World War II, Lobnow faced giant mosquitos, an enemy that could sting and, worse, one that carried malaria. 
Nearby, an Army photographer snapped a photo of the combat.
The picture of Lobnow taking a hammer to mosquitos is now one of several in a National Archives memo that captures the lengths soldiers in the Pacific went to keep the bugs — and, more vitally, disease — at bay.
