Royal Air Force Joint Air Delivery Test and Evaluation Unit doing work with the AN-124
Note. It's rather interesting that the USAF hasn't "cashed in" on the outsized transport business. I know it wouldn't be an everyday thing but I imagine they could make a good bit of changing using those massive C-5's to handle stuff too big for normal transport but not quite big enough for the AN-124. I imagine the "not for profit" thing plays a role but quick cash that would mirror actual missions seems like a no brainer.
Indian Army releases a teaser vid for their upcoming Independence Day...

I am an Indian Army Soldier. I fight where I'm told; and I win where I fight.
Not splashing sunshine off the Indian Army but that is simple, and to the point. Plus it doesn't sound (at least to me) like it was developed at a public relations firm.
I mean seriously what was the catchphrase for the US military for the past couple of years? "Ready to fight tonight"? No declaration of victory just that we'll show up to a fight. Many show up, not all win.
Points to the Indian Army on this one. Real catchy slogan/phrase.

This video highlights just SOME of what we do.
Our capabilities are endless, and we train on tactics, techniques, and procedures, including with our partners, constantly in order to maintain readiness. @USArmy @1st_SF_Command @USASOCNews pic.twitter.com/sHSG51Pbbj
25th ID Airborne Sappers “Clear The Line”
Note. What's going on with their gear attached to the body armor? Is that some type of ensemble or something? Anyone know what its called and why they would use that when they have that much molle to utilize? Additionally (and I know I'm probably late) but SAPPER really is tab worthy huh? I know they introduced it but I thought it was something that would be in your record book not on your uniform. Is there a special push inside the Army for combat engineers (is a SAPPER a combat engineer or a totally different breed of animal?).

AMX 10 RC is powerfully armed, very mobile, amphibious and protected against small infantry weapons.

82nd Airborne Division Paratroopers execute Operation Panther Storm
How has airborne assault escaped the same scrutiny as amphibious assault? Simple. The 82nd Airborne knows that it will be hard. They know that it will only be used in extreme cases and in those cases it will be an all hands on deck type situation, especially if its against a peer opponent and against lesser foes it will be an extreme feather in the cap of combatant commanders.
Additionally they know that it's a capability that the nation MUST have.
Wish Missile Marine Corps leadership had the same strength of conviction!
France has deployed fighters to Greece! OK this is getting interesting!
Conflict in the Mediterranean: #France has deployed fighters to #Greece— Sukhoi Su-57 Felon 🇷🇺🇮🇳 (@I30mki) August 13, 2020
In response to conflicts between warships of Greece and #Turkey in eastern Mediterranean, Paris decided to help Athens by deploying 2 Rafale fighters to Greece from #Cyprus. The portal Pentapostagma reports. pic.twitter.com/nomQuJARaV
Wow.
Ok. THIS IS GETTING INTERESTING. Meanwhile in other news Turkey says that history will not forgive the UAE for dealing with Israel.
The deck chairs are getting setup. What I was wrong about was how far reaching this potential conflict could spread. As things stand right now it looks like S. Europe, the Middle East and Northern Africa could all be involved in peer nation conflict.
Just wow.
