Military veterinarians also took part in Guardian Response, training with animal simulators (robots) to learn how to care for pets and farm animals: “We were clipping goat hooves and testing for parasites when we got a call from the decontamination line that a dog needed treatment for potential exposure to toxic chemicals. The dog had a temperature of 106 degrees [F] and was breathing heavily, and had a fast pulse. We started cooling measures by putting water on his paw pads and gave him room temperature fluids, reducing his temperature and then moved him to the veterinarian for treatment.”-Specialist Emily Zygarowski

A leftist-liberal PBS report finally admits that many illegals are getting paid more than citizens, it’s because employers don’t want to own up to their legal responsibilities regarding citizen workers and they are willing to pay more to an illegal in order to avoid legal responsibilities: “Employers are constantly crying that they have a labor shortage. Why? Because employers like the labor market dynamics of hiring illegal labor.”–Dan Stein

Vehicle I-D: End of Days for the Sea Ranger

Video

After more than five decades, the U.S. Navy plans on retiring their aged fleet of TH-57 Sea Rangers in 2022-23.   It’s interesting that the Sea Ranger is being retired, as in 2019 a report came out about the U.S. Navy buying new TH-57 Sea Ranger flight simulators. 

Video by Julie Ziegenhorn, TH-57 Naval Air Station (NAS) Whiting Field, Florida, February 2020:

Army Kiowas and Navy Sea Rangers are both based on the Bell 206 JetRanger.  The U.S. Navy began using the TH-57 in 1968.

Fake News T-72, world’s biggest R/C toy?

Video

In April of 2013, crazy guys at White Sands Missile Range, in New Mexico, tried to turn a little ATV into a big bad T-72 battle tank!

White Sands Missile Range photo by John Hamilton.

It was an attempt to create a cheap OpFor (Opposition Forces tank), to try and save taxpayer funding that is used on actual T-72s, or converting M113-based armored vehicles into Russian looking tanks.

WSMR photo by John Hamilton.

Also, this is actually for the U.S. Air Force, to test the ability of new aircraft targeting systems to identify enemy tanks.  The crazy guys were ordered to create a Fake-News BTR, BMP and T-72.

WSMR photo by John Hamilton.

The test run was made on the Condron Army Airfield.  Whoa, slow down there plastic tank, five miles per hour please!

The crazy-guys took what was once a static (stationary) corrugated plastic target, used for radar acquisition, and adapted it to fit over a small utility all terrain vehicle (ATV).  They then altered the ATV to be remote controlled, in other words, they created a giant R/C toy.

Video by John Hamilton of highly paid engineers playing with their giant R/C tank:

It also has tactically placed metal strips and heat generators to simulate the radar and heat signatures of a real tank. The experimental giant R/C tanks went to Edwards Air Force Base, California.  I have not been able to find any info on what happened to the corrugated R/C tanks, but I suspect they were used to test the F-35’s ability to identify and attack ground vehicles, that is because the F-35’s ground attack testing (at Edwards AFB) began about the same time that the fake-news tanks were created.

Vaccine Fail: Malaria vs CoViD, or is it Malaria + CoViD?

Video

17 May 2021  (15:59-UTC-07 Tango 06) 27 Ordibehesht 1400/05 Shawwal 1442/06 Gui-Si 4719

Every year Malaria directly kills more than 400-million people!  So far, not even 18 months into the CoViD-19 pandemic-panic-attack just under 3-and-a-half-million people have suffered death ‘related’ to coronavirus infection (because of the way each country documents what is or is not a CoViD death, it cannot be honestly said that all the deaths are directly because of coronavirus).

Now, also realize that people around the world are being given CoViD vaccines that were developed in a little more than half-a-year’s time, not even fully tested for official approval, only authorized for “emergency use”!  The latest Malaria vaccines took years to develop (including a new U.S. Army vax that has already been issued to 5-hundred people since 2020), the most recent new Malaria vaccine took 37 years to develop!

U.S. Army doctors assist doctors in Burkina Faso in conducting Malaria testing, February 2019. Photo by Sergeant First Class Caleb Barrieau.

Until the 2020 Malaria vaccine approvals, people had to take pills on a daily basis to prevent/treat Malaria.  Why is the news media so hyped-up about people getting a CoViD vax that has not been fully tested or officially approved, and yet has said nothing about the 400-plus-million people who die every year from Malaria?  Is it because about 90% of Malaria cases still happen in African countries?

U.S. Army video from October 2011, Malaria is the top killer of people living on the African continent:

When I wrote about the U.S. Army’s new Malaria vax it was clear to me that the U.S. Army was concerned about what is being called Severe Malaria, which is spreading around the globe.   In November 2020, the U.S. Navy deployed additional entomologists to Chabelley Airfield, Djibouti, due to increased reports of insect bites suffered by U.S. personnel.  They are working with the Djibouti Ministry of Health in an effort to reduce the spread of Malaria.

Comparing Malaria (a parasite) to Coronavirus (a virus) might be an apple-to-oranges fallacy, however a new Yale School of Public Health study says there is a link between Malaria and false-positive CoViD test results, as well as creating the false impression that a person has developed anti-bodies (developed immunity) against SARS-CoV-2!

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

Video

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:
