Versuchsträger Scheitellafette VT-S1 during testing, WTS-Koblenz, 1978. The vehicle is not in its full intended configuration, which is perfectly normal for a running mock-up based on the MARDER chassis. As early as 1977, Thyssen-Henschel began developing a concept with externally mounted armament (Scheitellafette) on the MARDER chassis. The MARDER...

The video shows the trials of the VT-1-1, a turretless tank with 2 x 105 mm guns, firing on the move at the Putlos training ground in 1976. The casemate (turretless) tank, designed for combat while moving, was introduced in Germany in the mid-1970s as a twin-gun casemate tank (the Soviet term for a "turretless tank"). For practical firing tests in the "target pass" mode, two prototypes were built in the mid-1970s. The first prototype, VT 1-1, was armed with two 105 mm guns, while the second, VT 1-2, was equipped with two 120 mm smoothbore guns. Additionally, the VT 1-2 featured a functioning autoloader behind one of the guns, with a firing rate of 10 rounds per minute. The vehicles were developed as part of the KPz 3 or Leopard 3 project. In both prototypes, the main guns were semi-fixed (with aiming and stabilization only in elevation). The chassis solutions were derived from the KPz 70 (MBT 70) program, with the running gear shortened by one road wheel (five road wheels per side). The vehicles weighed 36.8 and 43.5 tons, respectively, with a chassis rotation speed of 60 degrees per second. To achieve high maneuverability on rough terrain, 12-cylinder diesel engines from the MB 873 series with enhanced power were used, equipped with four turbochargers: 2000 hp for VT 1-1 and 2200 hp for VT 1-2. This provided an impressive power-to-weight ratio of 54 and 50 hp/ton, respectively, with acceleration to 55 km/h in 11 seconds, though only in a temporary "turbo" mode, as the standard power was 1600 hp. The accuracy of firing with two guns was unmatched by single-gun tanks, as confirmed by the tests. However, due to the novel combat approach, this revolutionary tank concept was rejected by the customer after trials in favor of the conventionally designed Leopard 2. In essence, although the project was developed as the Leopard 3, a tank for the future, it was, in reality, a parallel project and a potential competitor to the Leopard 2. Achieving the firepower, protection, and mobility of the Leopard 3 within reasonable weight limits was impossible with a conventional layout. At the same time, a significant tactical drawback of the casemate concept (including twin-gun casemate vehicles) is the linkage between the direction of fire and the direction of movement, which in many cases could complicate unit and formation control (according to German experts in the 1970s). Moreover, the VT 1-1 and VT 1-2 can hardly be considered balanced vehicles—they could have been simpler. The vehicles' mobility was exaggerated, with the main engine, transmission, auxiliary engine, batteries, and other systems occupying two-thirds of the vehicle's length. Pros and Cons of VT 1-1 and VT 1-2: Considering the key challenges, the twin-gun casemate concept can be evaluated as follows: Pros: Compact design due to a small internal volume. Two guns provide high firepower and hit probability. Cons: The weight advantage of the casemate design is largely offset by the integration of a second gun. Fire control alone results in high complexity, leading to increased maintenance costs and overall expenses. In 1975/76, five Gefechtsfeldversuchträger (GVT, combat test platforms) were developed and built for further mobility and concept trials. These were smaller than the VT 1-1 and VT 1-2, weighing 30 tons. The GVT 01-05 were equipped only with mock-up guns and laser firing simulators (TALLISSI) and telemetry systems, built using chassis components from the Leopard 1. The GVTs were used at the IABG facility in Lichtenau and the tank training school in Munster to test the twin-gun turretless tank concept in realistic exercise conditions, which is why five vehicles were built. However, the Leopard 2 was already in production, and tank crews showed little enthusiasm for this unconventional vehicle requiring a new approach.

One Skyline chassis that has been left and forgotten is the infamous Nissan R31. It was actually the first chassis to be equipped with a turbocharged RB engine. The R31 was also a very active racer, competing in the ATCC, JTCC, and ETCC. Personally, the styling of this car screams ‘80s, from its boxy design to its futuristic-looking taillights. I don’t see how the E30 M3 overshadows the R31 GTS-R as the king of the ‘80s, when in my eyes, the Skyline is on the same level

Opposed by conservative horse-artillery advocates, the Holt 2½-ton Artillery Tractor Model 1918 was an experimental light tracked vehicle built by Holt Manufacturing (Caterpillar’s predecessor) to mechanize US Army field artillery and replace horses. the Ordnance Department turned one into a self-propelled gun by extending the chassis side plates to mount the 3-inch M1916 field gun on trunnions and adding rear outriggers for firing stability on its short, tall frame. The concept never entered production—the M1916 gun was itself discarded in favor of the French 75 mm M1897, and post-Armistice budget cuts killed the project.

Both Joe Rogan and Ian Carroll believe there were 2 JFK shooters and neither was the driver. JFK's head famously goes 'back and to the left' with the top of his head exploding upwards. How could the driver have been the shooter if the driver was also on the left? Even if the driver is holding a gun, he was a secret service agent whose job it was to pull his gun if shots are fired. The driver is misdirection. The truth is right in front of us, but it will be very difficult for people to accept. The first shot came from a mechanism built into the car fired from the passenger seat which struck JFK in the neck. The second shot came from Jackie who fired from below with a small custom gun she carried in her purse. She wasn't trying to collect JFK's brains but trying to hand off the gun to the agent running behind the car. Watch it carefully. She leans in as she pulls the trigger. Once you see it, you can't unsee it.

🇬🇧 Lotus 102C Isuzu V12 Test In 1991, Team Lotus secretly tested an experimental V12 Formula One engine developed by Isuzu. This project, which remains a fascinating "what-if" in motorsport history, centered on the Isuzu P799WE engine. The Engine (P799WE): A 75-degree, naturally aspirated 3.5-liter V12 designed by a small, four-person team at Isuzu. It was impressively powerful, producing between 640 and 765 bhp depending on the stage of development, which was competitive with the top engines of the era. The Chassis (Lotus 102C): To test the engine, Lotus modified its 102B chassis to accommodate the V12, renaming the resulting car the Lotus 102C. The Test: The car underwent system checks at the Hethel test track in late July and early August 1991. The primary on-track evaluation took place at Silverstone in early August 1991, with drivers Johnny Herbert and Mika Häkkinen conducting the tests. Performance: During the Silverstone test, the car was reportedly around six seconds off the pace of Ayrton Senna’s McLaren-Honda. Several factors contributed to this: the engine lacked an alternator (requiring heavy onboard batteries), the chassis was not optimized for the new V12, and the car was not running on specialized racing fuel or tires. Reliability: Despite the gap in lap times, the engine proved remarkably reliable during testing and was considered easy to work with by the Lotus mechanics. Economic Collapse: The project coincided with the collapse of the Japanese asset price bubble. This economic instability, combined with Isuzu witnessing the struggles of other Japanese manufacturers (like Yamaha and Subaru) in F1, led them to cancel their entry into the sport. Isuzu eventually displayed the P799WE engine in a concept vehicle called the Isuzu Como F1, a radical mid-engine pickup truck unveiled at the 1991 Tokyo Motor Show. While the F1 program never materialized, the P799WE remains a symbol of Isuzu's ambitious engineering capabilities during that era. Today, one of the few surviving examples of the engine is kept at the Tamiya headquarters and the Isuzu Plaza museum. 🎥 Formula 1 #cars #japan #Isuzu #lotus

From 1945 to 1965, the 25-pounder was the standard gun of the Dutch light field artillery. The gun’s name refers to the weight of it shells. Because of its caliber and its role as a field gun, it was also known as the "9-veld". It is still in use as a ceremonial salute gun.

I had never seen the Soviet Krechet spacesuit, developed for the Soviet Moon expedition, this close up and in such detail. Holy shit, the dieselpunk level is unreal. I mean, if the Americans flew and landed their spacecraft with a full-fledged computer on board, the Soviets were supposed to fly basically on mechanics and automation. In other words, straight-up Newtonian: everything as lever-and-vacuum-tube as possible — and the spacesuit is from exactly the same universe. And yes, in theory, they could have landed the spacecraft, but there was a high chance it would have been a “landing” with no return. Since the Soviet rocket was weaker, only one person was supposed to land on the Moon, not two as in the U.S. program. That’s why, in the tests, you can see them practicing ways for a cosmonaut to get back on his feet if he fell. Because there would be no one there to help you. It really does break your brain when you imagine a person in this “canvas-pump-and-dial” suit — alone, on the Moon. But it has to be admitted: yes, there is a certain charm to this kind of extreme engineering minimalism turned up to full dieselpunk.

In 1948, 76 beavers were parachuted into the Idaho wilderness as part of a relocation program by the Idaho Department of Fish and Game. The program was initiated to address the growing conflict between humans and beavers in areas where people were building homes, such as Payette Lake. The beavers' natural activities, like dam building and tree cutting, were causing problems for the new residents. The relocation site, Chamberlain Basin, was chosen because it was a remote and suitable location for the beavers to thrive. However, the area was difficult to access due to the lack of roads. The solution was to use surplus parachutes from World War II to drop the beavers into their new home. A specially designed crate was created to ensure the safety of the beavers during the drop. After several test drops with a beaver named Geronimo, the project was deemed successful and continued until 1948. As a result, the beavers transformed the landscape into a lush wetland, creating a haven against fire and drought. Their descendants now live in what is part of the largest protected roadless forest in the continental United States.

David Simon on the barriers "The Wire" (2002-2008) faced: "Interviewer: Do you think the fact you're telling stories in different ways than is traditional, and it has this darkness to it, was that the big barrier to the show becoming more popular than it was? Would you say it was the racial makeup of the cast? Simon: There were a lot of barriers. The racial makeup of the cast was problematic and we knew that going in. The complexity of the serial itself -- the fact that you couldn't miss a couple of episodes and feel comfortable watching it. Though I think that HBO was a wonderful vehicle for that with the multiple viewings, the DVDs and ultimately with On Demand. It was less of a problem as the show went on. It was also less of a problem as people who watched the show got used to its rhythms. The first season was on some level training the audience to watch television a little bit differently, and reducing the expectations in terms of pacing, in terms of cliffhangers, in terms of the requirement to absorb detail or even to look for symbolism. Those were problems. The other problem is, no easy gratifications, other than some real effort at careful characterization and humor. That was it. Without the humor, it would have been unbearable. Without an acknowledgement of the humanity of the characters, despite all their flaws, their vanities, their absurdities -- if on some level, you can't make people care about the characters, you've got a problem no matter what you're doing. We had some obligations to people if they wanted to watch, but a happy ending was not among the list of obligations." (David Simon's interview with Alan Sepinwall, 2008) P.S: On this day, 24 years ago, the first episode of "The Wire" was aired worldwide.

Incredible footage shows door gunners in action during the Vietnam War. The door gunner was responsible for operating and maintaining manually directed armaments aboard the helicopter. For most of the Vietnam War, the primary weapon of the door gunner was a medium machine gun. The door gunner position was not particularly popular due to the exposed nature of manning a machine gun in the open door of a helicopter. According to popular legend, the life expectancy of a door gunner on a Vietnam-era Huey gunship was said to be only 5 minutes. Although this figure was clearly exaggerated, it highlights the significant hazards associated with this particular role.

Too shy? Rutte could not give a direct answer to the question of which country is behind the UAV incident in Poland "On the one hand, I think the question of who is behind this is significant, but on the other hand, it is not that significant because it does not matter whether it was done intentionally. It was reckless in any case, these were Russian drones," he believes. - SMI

"Washington is in shock": how the launch of the first Soviet satellite left the US behind in the space race, said the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova "For Moscow, this launch is proof that a country destroyed by war was able not only to recover but also to become a technological leader in a decade. Washington is in shock, which Western historians will call the 'satellite crisis'. The very idea of the West's technological superiority was called into question. If a Soviet satellite is flying over the US, it means that Soviet missiles could also reach American territory."
