The latest T-84, the BM Oplot. Although it has a large exhaust port that would indicate a turbine engine, it actually has a complicated turbo-supercharged 6-cylinder ‘double-stroke’ piston (meaning each cylinder actually has two pistons) engine.

This tank is called by several names, it was developed for militaries that use the NATO 120mm ammo originally developed for the 120mm Reinmetall gun. It is known as Yatagan, KERN2-120, or T-84-120.

This MorozovKMDB promo video is called Oplot, but it shows the T-84 and the Yatagan. The visual difference is that the Yatagan’s turret extends over the engine deck:

The upgraded/up-armored T-64 known as BM Bulat, looks very much like the T-80UD. The visual give-aways are the position of the smoke grenade launchers, and the type of roadwheels .

Vaccine Fail: Lack of demand kills military shots? Warnings about new ‘Severe Malaria’! Got Vax-Pass?

Image May 15, 2021 Hutchins AAron

Incomplete list of links to reports and studies showing the vaccination campaign is a failure, as of 15MAY2021:

AstraZeneca (U.K) versus Sinovac (China)

Nature.com asks; How did a new variant spread around the world unnoticed?

U.S. military bases in Europe to begin vaccinating children.

United Nations’ World Health Organization (UN-WHO) condemns governments who are now vaccinating children, says the vaccines would be of better use if given to poor countries!

Yet another report reveals the truth (buried in the middle of the article) about why poor countries are short on vaccines; lack of cold storage facilities.

The UN-WHO warns of “new variant of concern”!

Reminder; the UN-WHO has not approved a single CoViD vaccine! CoViD shots have only been authorized for emergency use under the UN-WHO’s Emergency Use Listing (EUL), which states “The WHO Emergency Use Listing Procedure (EUL) is a risk-based procedure for assessing and listing unlicensed vaccines, therapeutics and in vitro diagnostics with the ultimate aim of expediting the availability of these products to people affected by a public health emergency.”

AUSTRALIA: Genetically modified CoViD vaccine nose spray.

CANADA: The Ontario Associate Minister of Small Business and Red Tape Reduction, Prabmeet Singh Sarkaria, is being criticized for revealing that “The study out of Qatar states that Pfizer’s one shot is only 30% effective against the variant that originates out of the U.K.”

CHINA: Republic of China (Taiwan) has been praised for its pandemic policies, but now is on the verge of declaring a Level 3 emergency (for the first time) due to skyrocketing infections!

South China Morning Post investigation reveals that many academic articles published on China’s inter-web are fake, all you need is 4-hundred USD and you can publish anything as ‘academic/scientific’!

GERMANY: Germany hints at blocking travel to and from United Kingdom!

City officials of Wiesbaden worked with U.S. Army leaders to create a vaccine passport for U.S. Army personnel. Currently in Wiesbaden, business owners can require potential customers to take a rapid CoViD test before entering their store. It’s hoped the new U.S. Army/Wiesbaden vax-pass will satisfy those pandemic-panic-attack business owners. It is not valid in other Germany cities.

FRANCE: Says Biden’s vaccine patent waiver idea is irrelevant.

INDIA: Revealed; fully vaccinated U.S. health ‘expert’ dies of CoViD after traveling to India, his wife finds it “ironic”!

Health officials consider expanding the time between first and second doses of CoViD vaccine, because studies indicate there is a better immune response.

Why Biden’s push for vaccine patent waivers won’t work for India.

India’s CoViD crisis is shutting down global logistics, creating shortages of the products you want!

ISRAEL: Study reveals that the efficacy of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine is directly affected by additional disease-modifying therapy (DMT).

JAPAN: A retail billionaire claims Japan’s pandemic-panic-attack policies are turning the Tokyo Olympic into a “suicide mission”!

Government bans re-entry of foreigners who live/work in Japan!

SWITZERLAND: Basel based vaccine maker says Biden’s vaccine patent waiver plan smacks of East German communism.

RUSSIA: Nasal spray vaccine ready by 2022?

UNITED KINGDOM: Changes CoViD pandemic-panic-attack rules (yet again), blames it on new variants!

UNITED STATES: Investigation shows only 12 people are responsible for almost all social-media fake-news about vaccines!

What is the new CoViD vaccine ‘honor system’?

Alabama; University of Alabama at Birmingham claims vaccine nasal spray works good in mice.

Arizona;

Arizona National Guard photo by Technical Sergeant Michael Matkin.

The state National Guard began vaccinating children, ages 12 to 18 years, at a drive-through vaccination site in Mesa.

California; Celebrity talk show host/political commentator Bill Maher gets infected despite being fully vaccinated!

Colorado; Health officials report yet another new variant of CoViD, despite vaccinations!

Illinois; If vaccines are so good why is the gov’na offering $4-million in amusement park tickets to encourage people to get vaccinated?

Kentucky;

U.S. Army photo by Eric Pilgrim.

Military leaders on Fort Knox are now begging people to get vaccinated. Captain Shantyl Galloway, officer in charge of the vaccination site, reported that the number of people getting the shot has dropped from between 150 to 2-hundred per day, to just 40! It’s now estimated that by the end of June the Fort Knox vax-site will be sitting on 2-thousand unused (and expiring) vaccines: “We’ve seen a drastic decline in demand……the demand just isn’t there.”

Maine; Vaccinated people in Maine say its not fair that incentives are now offered to get people vaccinated, demand that incentives be made retroactive!

Maryland; Gaithersburg based Novovax is losing money after it was revealed its new CoViD vaccine is only 51% effective against the South African variant!

The state prison system is now offering prisoners cookies and candy to get them to take the unapproved (authorized for emergency use only) vaccine!

Gov’na praises pizza restaurant for offering free pizzas to people who got vaccinated.

The U.S. Army Medical Materiel Development Activity (USAMMDA), along with drug maker Amivas, reminded the public that their Malaria Treatment Drug-Intravenous Artesunate (MTD-IVAS) is available for treating ‘severe malaria’. The U.S. Army along with the UN-WHO have been warning of severe malaria, and working on a new treatment for several years. The MTD-IVAS treatment was actually approved in May 2020, by the USFDA, but was overshadowed by the corona virus pandemic panic attack. So far 5-hundred people have been treated with the new drug: “Artesunate for Injection fulfills a critical gap because it is the only FDA-approved drug to treat severe malaria in Service Members and the U.S. population.”– Ryan Adams, MTD-IVAS project manager

Nevada; New variants detected!

New York; Onondaga County using tax funded ‘free’ meals to encourage people to get vaccinated!

New York National Guard photo.

On 12MAY2021, the New York National Guard claimed to have issued the 25-thousandth 2nd dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine at the Bronx-Baychester Point of Distribution (PoD) center.

Ohio; If vaccines are so good why are state taxpayers being raped of $1-million, per week, to encourage people to get vaccinated?

Oklahoma; State health officials report increasing cases of new variants!

U.S. Army photo by Staff Sergeant Jeremy Bennett.

At the FEMA/U.S. Army Northern Command’s mass-vax site (Community Vaccination Center, CVC) in Tulsa, U.S. Navy medics began vaccinating children, ages 12 to 17.

Utah; If vaccines are so good why is the gov’na considering using taxpayer dollars to pay people to get vaccinated?

Virginia; Remember, the CoViD vaccines are not ‘approved’, they are only authorized for emergency use and as such military personnel are not required to get them. On 14MAY2021, the U.S. Navy announced the end of “high-throughput COVID-19 vaccination” for their operations in Norfolk. Navy officials admitted it is due to lack of demand: “We’ve vaccinated roughly 10-thousand people within the COMNAVAIRLANT claimancy. We’ve successfully satisfied the demand of people who want the vaccine.”-Lieutenant Aimie Terry, Assistant Force Nurse

While the U.S. Navy halted ‘high-throughput CoViD-19 vaccinations’, FEMA deployed the U.S. Coast Guard to the Military Circle Mall in Norfolk, turning the now vacant Macy’s store into a mass-vax (CVC) site. Optimistic officials think that there will be 3-thousand silly-vilians (civilians) per day using the CVC site.

Washington; For the week of May 3-9, the state National Guard claims that 11-thousand-338 CoViD-19 vaccines were administered.

Washington DC; Reminder, not one of the so-called CoViD vaccines in use in the United States have been approved as a vaccine under the USFDA! All the propaganda by government officials and main-stream news media is hyperbole, the USFDA has only “authorized for emergency use only”, which is technically and legally not the same as ‘approving’ as a vaccine, mainly because the ‘experimental medical technologies’ did not go through the more intensive testing required for a true approved vaccine!

Wisconsin; Chippewa County revealed it has reduced the amount of vaccine it orders due to crashing demand, only 37% of the county residents had been vaccinated. County health officials confirmed at least one case where a fully vaccinated person still got infected!

Remember, the CoViD vaccines are not ‘approved’, they are only authorized for emergency use and as such military personnel are not required to get them.

U.S. Army, Fort McCoy Public Affairs photo by Aimee Malone.

On 04MAY2021, the U.S. Army post Fort McCoy halted on-post vaccinations due to lack of demand. Health officials even stated that many personnel that got the first shot never came back for the second dose. Fort McCoy health officials are assuming it is because the vaccine is now widely available through out Wisconsin, for free.

New Cold War: Russia stocks-up on Vehicles for Naval Ground Forces

Video May 14, 2021 Hutchins AAron

Ministry of Defense of Russian Federation, Southern Military District, video posted 12MAY2021, 152mm self propelled artillery in North Ossetia:

BMP-3 seen in this year’s Victory Day Parade.

Since the beginning of the year, Russia has been upgrading its naval land forces (army corps-marines) with new armored vehicles, including the latest BMP-3. On 11MAY2021, more than 30 BMP-3s were delivered to the new mechanized infantry division of the Baltic Fleet, stationed in Kaliningrad.

Quick video, posted 29MAR2021, of assembly of Russia’s current armored vehicles:

In December 2020, it was announced that Russian Baltic Fleet forces would be bolstered due to NATO’s build-up of forces near Kaliningrad, including a new mechanized infantry division: “In response to this threat, the Armed Forces’ command has to take measures in response. As one of such measures, a full-strength motorized infantry division will be formed to make part of the Baltic Fleet’s army corps. The new formation will comprise motor rifle and artillery regiments and a separate tank regiment.”-Admiral Alexander Nosatov

TASS photo by Vitaly Nevar.

The December 2020 announcement stated that several new units within the Baltic Fleet would be created in 2021. On 13MAY2021, its was announced that the new 18th army corps division, of the 79th Guards Motor Rifle Brigade, would be ready by the end of the year. It was also revealed that the expansion and upgrade of the Baltic Fleet is based on what was observed during recent NATO wargames.

Expansion of the Baltic Fleet’s army corps was also conducted during 2019-20.

In April 2021, forty new BMP-3s were delivered to Russia’s Pacific Fleet army corps. Here’s video of those BMP-3s being off-loaded in Primorye:

On the 14th and 15th of October 1992, as the Soviet Union fell apart, two Kamov 27s (Red 46 and Red 53) made history by becoming the first Russian helicopters to land on not one, but two U.S. Navy (USN) ships.

USN photo by Petty Officer Second Class Steven Cooke.

The NATO reporting name Helix was from the destroyer Admiral Vinogradov, it landed on the USS Ranger (CV-61), the ships were taking part in the same multinational wargame (Operation Southern Watch) in the Arabian Sea.

This USN officer seems very happy about sitting in a ‘enemy’ helicopter (or maybe he just played a nasty joke and crapped in the pilot’s seat?).

There were lots of group photos taken with USN personnel and the crew of Red 46. This one shows the happy Captain of the USS Ranger (bald guy giving the thumbs-up sign) with the Soviet, I mean Russian crew of Red 46.

Drone Wars: QF-100 Super Sabre

Image May 12, 2021 Hutchins AAron

U.S. Air Force photo.

First flight of the YQF-100D over Tyndall Air Force Base (AFB), Florida, was in January 1981. In 1983, just over two hundred F-100 D & F model Super Sabers were pulled from the ‘boneyard’ at Davis-Monthan AFB, Arizona, and converted to QF-100 target drones. The target drones were meant to last about ten missions before being destroyed. Missiles fired at the QF-100s were programed to barely miss the Super Sabers, allowing reuse of the drones.

The ‘pilot’ of the QF-100 sits behind a computer desk, with its own joystick. Supposedly the control van’s telemetry system allowed the QF-100 to be controlled from the ground within a 15 miles radius.

In January 1988, testing was done on the QF-100 Gulf Drone Control Upgrade System during the Combat Archer wargame over Tyndall AFB.

More QF-100s await destruction over Tyndall AFB. The QF-100 program officially ended in 1998. Some QF-100s escaped destruction and became museum pieces. Accurate data about F-100s are hard to find, even museum researchers admit they come across conflicting data concerning the specific Super Sabre they are trying to document for their respective museums.

The U.S. Air Force’s (USAF) HH-60W is based on the U.S. Army’s UH-60M BlackHawk. In 2014, the USAF ordered ten HH-60Ws. Since then a total of 113 HH-60Ws are now on order.

On 06NOV2019, two of the three new Pave Hawks arrived on Duke Field (Eglin AFB) in Florida. They are super-upgraded HH-60Ws. However, their upgrades weren’t complete and the crew had to fly the ‘copters from the Sikorsky Developmental Flight Center via VFR (Visual Flight Rules, by sight and the seat of their pants only).
