Russian K-16 shown in uparmored form.
Note. The Dead District Twitter Blog & S400 posted pics of this vehicle earlier this week but I can't find them. I'm using Rob's page to pass it to the masses.
Screenshot from Krivoruchko's visit to the Military Industrial Company. It looks as though the K-16 Bumerang APC has more armor than before (Photo on the right is the K-17 IFV variant). Looks like it is at least partially designed to handle IEDs better.https://t.co/41yHrEQtCV pic.twitter.com/2KwDPVMV7O

Could we lose 10K US Marines due to "vaccine hesitancy"?
via CBS 8 News
Sunday marks the vaccination deadline for those serving in both the Navy and Marine Corps.
But according to the latest numbers, the Marines have the lowest vaccination rate among all branches of military, with as many as 10,000 active members still not fully vaccinated.
Earlier this month, the Marines' top general and his senior enlisted adviser posted a video message to Twitter, urging Marines who hadn't done so yet, to get vaccinated.
"We don't have extra Marines. We're a pretty small force and we have to make sure everyone is ready to go all the time...that's our job," said Commandant David H. Berger.
This is a force readiness issue.
You must be deployable if you're in the Marine Corps, and vaccinations are part of the readiness formula.

Russian Air Force Academy Cadets develop the "Spy Stone"

Spy Stone: The Military Has Developed A New Way To Spy On The Enemy
The cadets of the Air Force Academy have developed a device, there are no analogues of such a stone in the Armed Forces. They disguised the hidden surveillance complex as an ordinary stone. Due to its disguise, this cobblestone will be indispensable in trench warfare. In a situation where all landmarks are shot by snipers, and the enemy is watching almost every bump, the opportunity to send a robot to monitor the situation, and not a person, will be very useful.

| Royal Marines of 42 Commando have joined the international fight against piracy in West African waters while on operations with HMS Trent. The commandos are experts in boarding operations, known officially as Maritime Interdiction Operations, and have been sharing knowledge and expertise in the skills needed to board, search and – if needs be – seize suspect vessels with local forces. Marines are in the Gulf of Guinea – one of the world’s piracy hotspots – as the UK looks to improve security and help prevent widespread piracy which has seen international shipping suffer, seafarers’ lives put in danger and damage caused to the economies of nearby nations. HMS Trent and the marine have visited Nigeria, Ghana and Senegal to foster ties and train local forces, equipping them in the fight against illegal activity, and spoken to local fishermen to understand patterns of life during security operations in the Niger Delta. |
