Some footage of the civil war And here a radio report from the 10th of November 1938, where a Synagogue in Vienna was burned down. I haven't found a translation anywhere, but let me know if you want one...

When we talk about the larger picture and the larger geopolitical, geoeconomic and military power shifts around the world, then the new world order isn't that simple to define... it is, to put it simply, complex. The changing tides of international realities we currently see aren't easy to sum...

Keep in mind that a loss for Russia in this war can and very likely would be seen as a threat to the survival of Russia as a state. In this sense, continuing the production of all necessary war material and weapons stocks is of tantamount importance. However, the more Russia suffers in losses...

Description: "When Russia launched its February 24th invasion of Ukraine, Germany was one of the nations that experienced a dramatic, near overnight political shift. Germany turned its eyes to rearmament after decades of reduced defence spending, while outside commenters criticised the limited...

For unspecified UAVs it most likely are either EMT Aladin or Mikado MAVs, potentially also Vector drones. As of June 2014 there were 323 Aladins in service, so thats been increased greatly by now I presume, and around 163 Mikado systems were serviceable at that point. How it's looking now I...

How I imagine this went down: "Vladimir, check if rocket explodes when it hits target" "Yes, Sir!" Vladimir remembers his time in training, and how he used to look down the barrel to see if the gun was loaded. He figures that it works similarly with this piece of equipment. "Does the rocket...
