This is the Praying Mantis, a bizarre and unique British prototype from WWII. The vehicle was difficult to control, and induced sickness in the crew(!) - the plan was therefore abandoned in 1944. The sole surviving example is part of our collection, here at The Tank Museum.

🇺🇦 A Ukrainian soldier was sitting alone in a trench when a Russian T-72B3 tank moved in front of his position. The fighter assembled and prepared an FPV kamikaze drone, launched it, and struck the rear part of the turret, disabling the tank. 🔺 After the Russian tank crew exited the damaged vehicle, they opened intense fire toward his trench. At that moment, a Ukrainian drone operator in a neighboring trench, who was covering his comrade, dropped munitions from a bomber drone, detonating them and neutralizing the tank crew — one was killed on the spot, while two others were wounded and later captured by members of a mortar unit.

Walking through the museum was a powerful reminder of the courage, resilience, and unity that emerged from one of the most difficult days in American history. From preserved pieces of the World Trade Center to personal accounts and memorial exhibits, every part of this

Blacks are mentally ill and delusional.... They think they built everything and they think everything in the British museum is theirs?!! Everything in the British museum is from EUROPEAN/WHITE PEOPLE ONLY, if it wasn't for the British, then everything that was found in the museum over the years would have been lost, destroyed and long forgotten 🤦🏼‍♀️

Unique rotating driver position in the turret of the MBT-70 tank prototype that would face the tank's direction of travel regardless of which way the gun was pointed Keeping the crew out of the hull kept the profile low but it was disorientating for the driver in practice

Hunting a T-64BV. Kharkov direction. An FPV drone operator from the “Antagonist” group detected and destroyed a T-64BV tank near the settlement of Sosnovy Bor. After the first strike on the tank at its firing position, the crew tried to pull the vehicle back to the rear, but it was caught by a second drone the tank lost mobility and was finished off with follow-up hits.

A complete line up of all the reels filmed of the Sennelager parade footage, in mid-1944. It was mostly shown in the "Die Deutsche Wochenschau" Nr. 736 (1944), although surviving records are incomplete and the exact reel number for this exact frame is debated.

#Cambodia Footage from the 2nd Round of the 2nd Thai-Cambodian Border Dispute showing a RCA T-55A in action. This footage is taken from the perspective of the crew who took cover underneath their tank. The T-55A is located in a "fortified" position, which is just a concrete hull-down position with a roof on top. The crew members we see underneath the tank are most likely the commander and loader. Remaining inside the tank are both the driver and gunner. Based on what I was told, the reason for this arrangement was to reduce crew casualties in case the turret got hit or that the gun itself blows up.

Protesters gathered at the British Museum after it removed references to Palestine from its ancient Middle East galleries, a decision widely condemned as an act of cultural erasure. The museum changed labels in exhibits on ancient Egypt and the Phoenicians, replacing the term “Palestine” with “Canaan” and “Canaanite descent”. It said the word was not “meaningful” as a historical geographical term for the periods shown. Historians, legal experts, activists and scholars condemned the move as part of a wider attempt to erase Palestinian history. Speakers at the protest accused the museum and the British government of being complicit in the ongoing genocide in Palestine. The changes followed a letter from the pro-Israel lobby group 'UK Lawyers for Israel', which objected to the use of “Palestine” in displays. Critics say 'UK Lawyers for Israel' is actively leading a coordinated effort to erase references to Palestine and Palestinian freedom from British cultural, academic and public institutions. The British Museum denied acting in response to the complaint, claiming the decision was based on curatorial judgement.

I wish this ozutsu was a regular display piece at Matsumoto Castle; but it is normally kept in a climate controlled vault, with the rest of the highly valuable and unique weapons in the collection.

The oddly elegant lines of the Bréguet 730 flying boat seen during trials in 1946. The prototype first flew in 1938 but this second production example "SIRIUS" was only completed a year after the end of WWII in Europe.

Coachella mess The venue where Trump held the rally is in the middle of nowhere and 5 miles from parking. The cult was lured in with bus rides to get in to the venue and then abandoned when it was over. This is the perfect metaphor for a Trump presidency. Who has a slogan?
