Open Comment Post. 6 July 2021

I've followed the herd and have been using Safariland for my duty rig but I think I might dabble with the G-Code for a range setup just to see how I like it.  

CR3 prototype @ Bovington

Drummond is right. The Brits (along with Rheinmetall) did a good job of modernizing the Challenger but the numbers are just too small. They're tied at the hip with us on everything else they should have just bit the bullet and gotten M1A2C's....

Egyptian Military @ Exercise Qader 2021

Z-8L Wide Body

This helicopter appears to be in the class of the CH-53D. Not up to King Stallion standards but capable. The Chinese are improving at an impressive rate. Evolution is how they're doing it while taking advantage of revolutionary advances based on stealing Western tech or simply buying it from the Russians. As much as we complain, its really a quite practical solution to rapidly modernizing.

Our security sucks ass...

Major explosion at the Umid gas field in the Caspian Sea near Baku, Azerbaijan.

Note. Is it just me or are we seeing a STUNNING increase in the number of "incidents" at critical infrastructure? If I didn't know better I'd swear we're seeing an undercover cyber war going on between the powers. I BELIEVE and don't know that the Israelis are active against Iranians. A Russian crime organization hit us but there are other actors out there going after other targets. Did soneone go after this gas field or was it just a case of people fuck up?
