World War Two Weapons still in use: M101 vs ZiS-3!

Great Patriotic War/World War Two: 1941 to 1945.

U.S. World War Two era M101 105-millimeter (105mm) ‘howitzer’ (short gun tube [barrel] artillery) still in use by Philippines.

I edited together several videos via U.S. Marine Corps, recorded during the October 2019 KAMANDAG wargame. KAMANDAG is an acronym for the Filipino phrase Kaagapay Ng Mga Mandirigma Ng Dagat, which translates to Cooperation of Warriors of the Sea:

The United States’ military still uses the M101 for ceremonies.

Both the U.S. M101 and Soviet ZiS-3 were used by various countries during the Cold War (approximately 1947 to 1991).

The ZiS-3 (76-мм дивизионная пушка обр. 1942 г. [ЗиС-3]) is considered to be a ‘divisional/regimental’ or ‘field’ gun for use by front line troops, due to its relatively small projectile and short range (compared to larger artillery).

Some ‘official’ sources say the ZiS-3 was in combat use by militaries around the world until 1990 (end of the Cold War).  However, the above photo shows a Serb ZiS-3, supposedly used during the war in the former Yugoslavia, being inspected by U.S. Soldiers in Zvornik, Serbia, in 1996.

The ZiS-3 (aka M1942) was so good that the invading Germans captured them for their own use against the Soviets!

The WW2 (Great Patriotic War) era Soviet 76.2mm artillery gun is still being used by Serbia for ceremonial purposes.  I edited this from several Serbian Armed Forces videos, recorded from the 14FEB2025 Serbian Statehood Day, and the 11NOV2024 Armistice Day (Veterans Day in the United States), ceremonies:

The word howitzer refers to a short tubed artillery piece, the M109 obviously does not qualify as a ‘howitzer’!

Definitely not a short ‘tubed’ gun.

Gunners of the 2nd Battalion-222nd Field Artillery Regiment, Utah Army National Guard, and with 214 (Worcestershire) Battery-104th Regiment Royal Artillery from United Kingdom, joined forces during wargame Northern Strike in Grayling, Michigan, during the month of August 2025.

I edited together videos via Sergeant Brayden Stephan and Staff Sergeant Daniel Garas:

Near Peer Wars: What is Sejil?

“It demonstrates a significant leap in Iran’s missile capabilities.”-Uzi Rubin, former director of Israel’s Ballistic Missile Defense Organization

Iran developed its Shahab-3 liquid fueled ballistic missile into newer, more accurate, solid fueled replacements called Sejil-1 and Sejil-2.

Sejil is the Farsi word for brimstone.  It has been spelled in several ways in English.

Fars News Sejil explainer:

Sejil-1: Single stage. Range approximately 2-thousand kilometers. Warhead explosive power equivalent to about 650 kilograms.

Launch video:

Sejil-2: Double stage, maximum speed Mach-13.

U.S. Space Force: It’s all about Power Projection, by controlling your cyberspace?

From September 22rd through 24th, 2025, the Air & Space Forces Association (AFA) conducted their Air, Space & Cyber Conference.  The conference took place in the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center, National Harbor, Maryland.  The theme of the military dominated conference was, of course, ‘Achieving Decisive Advantage in an Age of Growing Threats’.

I edited together highlight videos (via Staff Sergeant Anthony Nin Leclerec and Tenelle Marshall) recorded on 23SEP2025. It is clearly stated that the cyberspace, which the public takes for granted, is now the primary ‘National Security’ concern:

U.S. Space Force: Confirms Iran’s ballistic missile program is formidable! Beware of System Delta-84!

U.S. Space Force reveals their Mission (Space) Delta-4 and System Delta-84 early warning platforms came online just in time for Iran’s massive missile attacks! They also admit they did not expect such a massive attack from Iran!

Video report via Tenelle Marshall, recorded on 22SEP2025:

System Delta-84/FORGE (Future Operationally Resilient Ground Evolution) is not just an early warning platform, according to this Space Systems Command video report (recorded 23SEP2025) “It empowers the government to have access to the latest industry innovations”:

Oregon Snipers!

In September 2025, the first ever State Sniper Qualifier on Raymond Rees National Guard Training Center and Boardman Training Area was conducted. It is a three-day, nine-stage competition challenging participants with complex problem-solving scenarios testing marksmanship, decision-making, and adaptability under time pressure, going beyond traditional range training. The winning team will represent Oregon at the prestigious Winston P. Wilson competition.  Video via Major Wayne Clyne:

When Idaho had the A-10C: Air Guard’s family day, food, fun & gatling guns! Saylor Creek Range, 2012.

On 05AUG2012, Idaho Air Guard’s 124th Fighter Wing (FW) invited their families to the Saylor Creek Range, for a family day and a demonstration of the A-10C Thunderbolt-2.

Officially, it was called ‘Kin Appreciation Day’.

The A-10C demonstration also included Joint Terminal Attack Controllers (JTAC) calling in the air-strikes.

Burgers! I edited from video via Staff Sergeant Bob Barney:

Japanese scientific data says the more shots you get, the sooner you’ll die!

‘The more doses you get, the sooner you’re likely to die.’- translated paraphrase from Yasufumi Murakami, Doctor and Senior Fellow, Molecular Oncology and Pharmacology

Japan has released a study involving more than 18-million people and the mandated Covid vaccines, the study shows a clear spike in deaths among the immunized within four months of vaccination!

Watch Japanese video report/discussion between Yasufumi Murakami and others (in Japanese) posted on X: https://x.com/i/broadcasts/1OwGWXkvByZJQ

Critics claim the study is not valid because age and other medical conditions were not accounted for. Ironically this is part of the hypocrisy with the pro-vaccine fear mongers during the Pland-emic; the pro-vaccine mandates had no scientific studies about the new covid vaccines to go on, and, regardless of most health factors, the vaccine mandate was applied as a blanket to almost every individual.  Also, we now know that deaths reported as associated with covid infection were in many cases resulting from other medical problems.

Deaths in vaccinated people are four times more than non-vaccinated people:
