"The evolution of Ukrainian surface drones.

It should be noted that a version with a modified jet ski was spotted during the attack on Sevastopol on the 16th. This does not mean that they were the ones who attacked the Crimean bridge.

Illustration by naval OSINT researcher HI Sutton . He suggests that it is likely that Ukraine uses different modifications of drones depending on the target."

"Yes, this is the British Chieftain tank, which has already been decommissioned

From the desert camouflage, it can be assumed that it was used in the Middle East.

Like the Challenger 2, it has a 120mm rifled gun. Therefore, theoretically, the shells should fit.

Presumably, the purchase of the tank is a private initiative."


From Wiki:
"The FV4201 Chieftain was the main battle tank of the United Kingdom during the 1960s–1990s.

A development of the Centurion, the Chieftain introduced the supine (reclining) driver position to British design allowing a heavily sloped hull with reduced height. A new powerpack and improved transmission gave it higher speed than the Centurion despite being heavier due to major upgrades to armour protection and the armament; this allowed it to replace both the Conqueror and Centurion while performing their roles effectively. It remained in service until replaced by the Challenger 1 which shared many of the Chieftain's features."

This is turning into a soap opera.

Putin will not attend South Africa summit – where he faced risk of arrest
Vladimir Putin will not attend a summit in South Africa next month – allowing the hosts to avoid a decision whether or not to arrest the Russian leader thanks to an international warrant over war crime allegations.

As a signatory to the International Criminal Court (ICC) which issued the warrant, South Africa would be expected to detain Mr Putin once he sets foot in the country. Although it has refused to honor that obligation in the past, allowing safe passage to Sudan's then-President Omar al-Bashir in 2015 who was facing allegations of war crimes against his own people.
