Why aren't T-14 Armata MBTs deployed in the Ukraine conflict, given that they are the best tanks the Russian military has?   In 2015 Putin was throwing a big military parade. You know the ones- where the missiles and troops all goosestep in Moscow to show off Russian military prowess. This was to be the public unveiling (in part) of the new T-14 Armata tank. As the parade prepared the Armata broke down. The transmission, which is the traditional flaw of Russian tanks, gave out. I don’t think anyone who knew about these tanks was surprised in any way. Back before all this, China had planned to purchase some T-14 tanks. Russia needed this big contract to fund its own tank modernization program. However, when China got a field test of the T-14 in Syria it backed out. Publically the Chinese media said that the T-14 had none of the advertised defense systems, that it was unreliable, and that it was hard to crew. Russian tank crews also think this. The reality is that the T-...

Photo of and Briton Alex Pampering Lion's In 1990....  is not a hunting photo.....Briton Alex Larenty lives on a game reserve in South Africa and spends his days giving lions foot massages. One day, he discovered that every time a lion was applied a cream to cure an infection on its paws, the lion would slacken and appear to smile. Since then, he has massaged all the lions in the park on a daily basis. Thanks to the pampering, he created a bond such that just by seeing him arrive, the lions lie down, begin to stretch their legs and smile. With love and respect, all relationships are possible! 💗

What is the most insane experiment done during WW2 in concentration camps? The autopsy specimen of the brain of a Dachau victim, the experiments were conducted in an attempt to simulate high-altitude conditions.  Victims were placed in a low-pressure chamber and then strangled under water to simulate drowning. This type of experimentation was meant to gather data on how the human body would react to high-altitude conditions, such as those experienced by pilots during air raids. It is important to note that these types of experiments were not unique to Dachau but were carried out at several other concentration camps during the war as well.  The inhumane treatment of prisoners, including medical experimentation, was a hallmark of the Nazi regime and a clear violation of international laws and principles of medical ethics. In the aftermath of the war, the doctors who conducted these experiments were put on trial for their crimes, including the Nuremberg Doctors’ Trial of 1947....

What was the condition inside the Dachau concentration camp in history?  The conditions in Dachau were horrific. Prisoners were subjected to extreme physical and psychological abuse, including beatings, starvation, and forced labor.  Many prisoners died from disease, malnutrition, or exhaustion. Medical experiments were also conducted on prisoners, often leading to death or permanent disability. In total, an estimated 41,500 people were killed at Dachau during its twelve years of operation. Dachau was also known for its brutal treatment of specific groups of people, including Jews, homosexuals, and people with disabilities. Jewish prisoners were often subjected to even worse conditions than other prisoners and were frequently used for medical experiments.  Many homosexuals were also sent to Dachau, where they were forced to wear pink triangles as a symbol of their supposed "deviance." People with disabilities were also targeted by the Nazis and were often sent to concentr...

How Ridiculous Was American Production In World War 2?    We can just put up a bunch of numbers, but I don’t think that gives a full appreciation of scale. So first let’s hit some specific examples. The B-24 This is a B-24 Liberator heavy bomber. It was a mainstay bomber for the American bomber force during WW2. We produced and flew more B-24s than we did B-17s. This is Willow Run. It was a B-24 plant built by Ford to mass produce the bomber. It ran its line 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and produced a complete B-24 every 63 minutes on average. At peak, it produced 100 bombers in just two days. This plant produced less than half of the total B-24s we built during the war. That is just one plant, producing one type of aircraft. We had literally thousands of plants like this, producing everything from tanks to field dressings.  Thanks for reading...

  The final resting place during "world war one"   The final resting place for; - V10131 Warrant Officer Class 2 Charles Swanson Jamieson of Edinburgh, Scotland and Surrey Hills, Victoria, had already seen active service as a Commissioned Officer with the Machine Gun Corps of the 1st British Expeditionary Forces in the trenches of Northern France and Flanders during World War One.  Following the end of hostilities in November 1918, Charles received his formal discharge from the British Army, and in the years of peace that followed immigrated to Australia.  By the outbreak of a Second World War, Charles was married, with children, and was employed as an accountant when he decided to join up with the Australian Military Forces.  Presenting himself for enlistment on the 23rd of January 1941, Charles was accepted for fulltime service within Australia and was allocated to Headquarters Southern Command.

 The Mystery Behind The Black Space Stone Found In Egypt     The Ben pyramid has puzzled scientists for thousands of years and they have been unable to solve the mystery. The pyramid is made of black stone, but it is not an ordinary stone because all of its components are not found on earth.  The black iron stone is only found in space in space meteorites, and here the other puzzle appears because it's a very hard iron stone and difficult to mold and dig, but it's not difficult to break, so how was it cut with so much accuracy in angles and deviations ??   How was your face polished with such unique precision? As were these very delicate inscriptions on the sides of the pyramid, scientists found it impossible for any tool, old or new, to carve these inscriptions except with a laser cutting tool.  And now we come to the last mystery, which is that the black stone of the iron meteorite, thanks to its composition, has a positive electromagnetic energ...

   America Method Of Execution In World War II      Britain influenced America’s use of the death penalty more than any other country. When European settlers came to the new world, they brought the practice of capital punishment.  The first recorded execution in the new colonies was that of Captain George Kendall in the Jamestown colony of Virginia in 1608.  Kendall was executed for being a spy for Spain. In 1612, Virginia Governor Sir Thomas Dale enacted the Divine, Moral and Martial Laws, which provided the death penalty for even minor offenses such as stealing grapes, killing chickens, and trading with Indians. Laws regarding the death penalty varied from colony to colony. The Massachusetts Bay Colony held its first execution in 1630, even though the Capital Laws of New England did not go into effect until years later.  The New York Colony instituted the Duke’s Laws of 1665. Under these laws, offenses such as striking one’s mother or father, or...

The Moment Of The Fall Of Constantinople    The city of Constantinople was founded by Roman emperor Constantine I in 324 CE and it acted as the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire, or Byzantine Empire as it has later become known, for over 1,000 years. Although the city suffered many attacks, its legendary defenses were the most formidable in both the ancient and medieval worlds. However, it could not resist the mighty cannons of the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II, and Constantinople was conquered, smashed, and looted on Tuesday, 29 May 1453 CE The Byzantine emperor at the time of the attack was Constantine XI, and he took personal charge of the defense. The Byzantines had catapults and Greek Fire, the highly inflammable liquid which could be sprayed under pressure from ships or walls to torch an enemy, but the technology of warfare had moved on and the Theodosian Walls were about to get their sternest ever test.  thanks for reading...

Story Of The Titanic "Jack And Rose"       Hey guys. I’d love to share this analysis I made about Titanic (1997) for my English class, if I may. Would like to see if you agree/disagree:  We all know Jack and Rose from Titanic (1997) were fictional. But very necessary in my opinion. I’d like to explain how the characters played a significant role in making the film work and creating a lasting impression for the audience:       While we wish they could’ve lived “happily ever after”, Jack’s death was necessary for a very crucial reason. As time goes on, Titanic’s disaster becomes a long distance in history, detached from the actual trauma of the event. We can look back at the reports of the sinking, and all the deaths, and realize how horrible it must have been:     But it’s still just numbers to us. By the time the film came out, Titanic had been at the bottom of the ocean for 80+ years already. Very few survivors were left alive, and for ...

    Nearly 300 years later, the mystery of Japan’s sacred ‘mummified mermaid’ is finally solved : In Japan, there is a legend that eating the flesh of a mermaid will grant immortality and grant healing powers.  The mysterious object in the picture has been displayed for four decades at the Enjuin Temple in Asakuchi.The 12-inch creature was allegedly caught in the Pacific Ocean, off the Japanese island of Shikoku, between 1736 and 1741 .The creature has two hands reaching up towards its grimacing face. Hair is still visible on its head and it has the remains of sharp, pointy teeth in its mouth. But its body gives way to a distinctly fish-like tail. Last year, researchers from the Kurashiki University of Science and the Arts took the mummy for tests and CT scans in a bid to unravel its secrets. They subjected the ‘mermaid’ to tests to determine if its an organic creature or not. , they have now discovered that the creature is completely artificial,made in the late 1800s. ...

  Why  Women Fighters Are Refer To As Night Witches During World War II   Did you know... 'Night Witches' was the name used to refer to female Russian bombers during World War II who used to regularly attack German lines and were all but lost to history, until recently. The women of the 588th Night Bomber Regiment of the Soviet Air Forces — better known as the Night Witches — had no radar, no machine guns, no radios, and no parachutes. All they had onboard was a map, a compass, rulers, stopwatches, flashlights, and pencils. They flew the oldest, noisiest, most rickety planes you could think of. They were in such a state that there were regularly times when the engines would break down and cut out halfway through their missions, so they would have to climb out onto the wings MID-FLIGHT to restart the propellers.  In addition, the planes were so noisy that in order to stop Germans from hearing them flying over and starting up their anti-aircraft guns, they would climb ...

 Do "Chewing Gum" Exist In The Ancient Time   Thousands of years ago, a young Neolithic woman in what is now Denmark chewed a piece of birch bark pitch, which was later found on the ground in modern times. DNA analysis of this prehistoric "chewing gum" has revealed remarkable details about her appearance. The woman has been nicknamed "Lola" after Lolland, the Danish island where the artifact dating back 5700 years was found. The Syltholm archaeological site preserved the chewing gum in mud for thousands of years, and it was possible to extract a complete ancient human genome from it, including DNA from ancient pathogens and oral microbes that the girl had in her mouth. DNA analysis by the University of Copenhagen revealed that the woman had dark skin, dark brown hair, and blue eyes, allowing for a reconstruction of her appearance.

   The Otto III had died very young, most likely from a combination of mild illness and excessive religious exertions. He had not been married and had no offspring.  He was also his father’s only son whilst his sister and man y of his female relatives had joined religious orders. That left only one relative in the male line, Henry, duke of Bavaria, son of Henry the Quarrelsome, abductor of little Otto III and grandson of another Henry, brother and bane of Otto I. Henry was of the view that he should be elected king and future emperor on the strength of his name and his position as duke of Bavaria. But not everyone agreed. The kingdom of East Francia was still an elective monarchy.  Sure, the ruling king could force through the election of his son, as happened the last three times, but a second cousin was a different matter. Multiple candidates threw their hats in the ring.  These included the duke of Swabia, Otto of Worms and the son of Hermann Billung, Bernhard...

History Of The Black Americans March 5, 1985: In Washington DC, the USPS issued the Mary McLeod Bethune stamp. It was the 8th stamp in the Black Heritage stamp series. Mary Jane McLeod Bethune was an educator, stateswoman, philanthropist, humanitarian, womanist, and civil rights activist.  Mrs. Bethune founded the National Council for Negro Women in 1935, established the organization's flagship journal Aframerican Women's Journal and resided as president or leader for myriad African American women's organizations including the National Association for Colored Women and the National Youth Administration's Negro Division. Mrs. Bethune was the sole African American woman officially a part of the US delegation that created the United Nations charter and she held a leadership position for the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps. For her lifetime of activism, she was deemed "acknowledged First Lady of Negro America" by Ebony magazine in July 1949 (and was known by the ...

     Why We Should Say No To "World War III"  The corpse of a prisoner lies on the barbed wire fence in Leipzig-Thekla, a sub-camp of Buchenwald, near Weimar, Germany.  A young man sits on an overturned stool next to a burnt body in the Thekla camp outside Leipzig, in April of 1945, after the US troops entered Leipzig April 18.  On the 18th of April, the workers of the Thekla plane factory were locked in an isolated building of the factory by the Germans and burned alive by incendiary bombs.  About 300 prisoners died. Those who managed to escape died on the barbed wire or were executed by the Hitler youth movement, according to a US captain's report .American soldiers walk by row after row of corpses lying on the ground beside barracks at the Nazi concentration camp at Nordhausen, Germany, on April 17, 1945. The camp is located about 70 miles west of Leipzig.  As the camp was liberated on April 12, the U.S. Army found more than 3,000 bodies, and a...

  HOW THOMAS MAKE MONEY DURING WORLD WAR II   Thomas was in Los Angeles for work and happened to have some free time before his planned flight home the next day.  And so, entirely randomly, he found himself in front of The Handbag Studio on a blazingly hot day in July. The store owner, a Mr. Page, noticing him out front, invited him in to cool off. As often happens, they struck up a conversation and when his host inquired, Thomas volunteered that he was a writer.  Mr. Page excitedly replied that he had a great story, a true story, that Thomas should write about! “What subject?”Thomas asked. “Jews in Poland, during the war,” came the reply. Thomas explained that he was an Aussie, a Roman Catholic; he knew next to nothing about the Jews in Poland 40 years ago. The story wasn’t for him.  Mr. Page insisted, however, and took him to the back of the shop where he kept two file cabinets crammed full of eyewitness accounts of his story.  Thomas was intrigued, and s...

PYTHON SWALLOW A BABY   A 7-month-old infant was severely bitten and crushed to death by an 8-foot-long pet python that crawled into her her crib, authorities said Sunday. Police said the huge reptile, which escaped from its glass cage in the living room, was due for his biweekly feeding -- a hamster -- and was probably hungry. The asphyxiation process may have taken five minutes or longer, authorities said, and the snake prevented the baby from screaming by squeezing the breath from her lungs. The victim was Toni Lynn Duboe, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Eugene Duboe, who purchased the snake as a family pet a year and a half ago in California. Their 5-year-old daughter Jessie was sleeping in a bed in the same room, but escaped injury. Mrs. Duboe discovered the infant Saturday a short time after the snake struck. She notified her husband, who found the snake curled up on a wooden shelf above the baby's crib. Authorities said Duboe became hysterical, grabbed the 7-pound python and...

EUROPEAN AMERICANS CONSIDERED THE CHOCTAW TO BE ONE OF FIVE "CIVILIZED TRIBE" OF THE SOUTHEAST.    The Choctaw were first noted by Europeans in French written records of 1675. Their mother mound is Nanih Waiya, a great earthwork platform mound located in central-east Mississippi.  Early Spanish explorers of the mid-16th century in the Southeast encountered ancestral Mississippian culture villages and chiefs. The Choctaw coalesced as a people in the 17th century and developed at least three distinct political and geographical divisions: eastern, western, and southern. These different groups sometimes created distinct, independent alliances with nearby European powers.  These included the French, based on the Gulf Coast and in Louisiana; the English of the Southeast, and the Spanish of Florida and Louisiana during the colonial era. Most Choctaw allied with the Americans during American Revolution, War of 1812, and the Red Stick War, most notably at the Battle of New Or...

 QUEEN ELIZABETH THE LAST MONARCH AND THE VIRGIN QUEEN     Famously, Elizabeth lived and died as the 'Virgin Queen', resistant to being married off and obviously childless.   However, Elizabeth had many favourites and close friends who were men, including Robert Dudley, Walter Raleigh, Francis Drake, and Robert Devereux, as well as many prominent suitors, including many of the crown rulers of Europe and their heirs.  We may never know if Elizabeth had non-platonic relationships with any of them, though no evidence has ever conclusively proved that she took lovers or companions before or after taking the crown.

 KOREAN SHOP OWNER END LATASHA HARLIN LIVE MERCILESSLY        On March 16, 1991 Latasha Harlin’s short life came to a violent end in the midst of racial tensions in Los Angeles, California, and became a major spark for the 1992 Los Angeles Riots. By the late 1980s, racial tensions were high in South Los Angeles, and especially between Korean storeowners and African American residents of the city. After the change in national immigration laws in 1965 a large number of Korean immigrants arrived in Los Angeles and by 1968 the first Korean-owned market opened in South Central LA. Longtime African American residents in the area at first welcomed the Koreans but eventually grew angry with them because they refused to hire black employees and often treated their customers poorly. By 1990, 65% of South Central businesses were Korean-owned and a 1992 survey of these storeowners revealed considerable racial prejudice against black customers and black people in general. Ko...

A HISTORY OF THE ANGLO-BURMESE COMMUNITY    Throughout the former colonial world, in many instances what are referred to as 'hybrid communities' have evolved.  In Africa, Oceania, Asia and the Americas, different groups were born of mixed relations between the colonists and indigenous peoples. In Asia, such groups, commonly known as Eurasians, developed in differing ways.  These peoples were regarded varyingly from society to society. Often seen as a privileged class in comparison with the other native peoples, with the current trend in ethnic and postcolonial studies, ethnographers, historiographers and sociologists frequently class Eurasians as living in some kind of 'hiatus' with allegiances to no one and to nowhere. However, it can be said that these peoples were more loyal to their countries of birth and origin than has been believed. In Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia (the former French Indochina), Eurasians evolved from mixed relations between the natives and Frenc...
