Original color scenes of leaking fluid and blown tires on 773rd Bomb Squadron Boeing B-17G 44-6283 after making an emergency landing at Calvi Fiume-Secco in Corsica in the Summer of 1944
At the time the bomber was based at Celone in Foggia almost 600 kilometers away
@cobblepillar@_snakeByt3s Then you have Tirona and Tegiri who have nothing to do with being "Troll jewish" or practicing the region, and even Tirona's whole charcter is about meme for the empire.
So yeah Tagora's charcter can be seen as a bit oddly directed if the goal was to make him a jewish Sterotype
@cobblepillar@_snakeByt3s Like its just dropped there with no explanation that this is only for the Teals, and it seems that the "Troll jewish religion" if it does exist in a very rarely used one ?
It doesn't make sense lore wise but yeah its a bit strange that Tagora is fee/money hungry and does this.
In late 1967, a US Army supply convoy drove straight into a Viet Cong kill zone. In ten minutes, 30 trucks were burning, seven drivers dead and 17 wounded. The VC had mapped every route the convoys used and knew how to turn supply columns into a turkey shoot.
Without any armor or firepower worth mentioning, the drivers were practically sitting ducks every time they left the gate.
Something had to change. But official Army channels could take months, and the men in those convoys didn't have that kind of time. So they simply built their own gun trucks in the motor pool. At first, they bolted sandbags and wooden planks onto the back of 2.5-ton trucks. They soaked up monsoon rain, snapped axles, and turned the trucks into overloaded coffins.
On paper, the only weapon allowed was the M60 machine gun. The guys driving through the kill zones had a different opinion. They strolled over to the Air Force, talked them out of .50 cals, and yanked miniguns off Hueys. One crew mounted their minigun without its electric motor and hand-cranked it through firefights like a Civil War Gatling gun.
They proved themselves a few months later at Ambush Alley. Charging straight into the kill zone, the gun trucks lit up the treeline. The Americans lost four gun trucks and six cargo trucks, but the VC got smoked, left 41 dead and pulled back.
From then on, convoys ran one gun truck per ten cargo trucks.
🇷🇺 Entertainment in Russia
In a park in one of Russia’s cities, actors dressed as NKVD secret police officers are “entertaining” locals by detaining passers-by, accusing them of running a private business, threatening to send them to the Solovki GULAG camp for hard labor, and taking their fingerprints.
When one woman said she had three children dying of hunger, the costumed NKVD officers replied that the children would also be sent to a labor camp, “but with ice cream.”
