Old footage from 2023, but a lot of detail on the techniques, technology and skills used to excavate and secure the SbT complexes in Gaza.

Pretty extraordinary undated video of tunnel excavation posted by a Hamas-affiliated Telegram channel, including some shots of what seems like some sort of minecart, automatic and handheld equipment, and more. The last part of the video shows how major tunnel entrances were concealed by overhead tent structures and heavy equipment could be moved in and out of the tunnels. Very interested in what experts might say about these clips.

[Met Office @metoffice]

The first trailer for ‘Pressure’ is here, the film which tells the story of the most important weather forecast; the D-Day forecast.

Andrew Scott stars as Group Captain James Stagg – the Met Office meteorologist tasked with delivering the weather forecast and helping shape D-Day's plans.

In cinemas 9 September.

@DefencePhoto In short, some is the same, i.e. ophiolites (ancient seabed mixed with igneous rocks) , but the Zagros mountains (!) are largely recent sedimentary sequences.
In terms of an operating environment, it's incredibly complex.

In July 1917 the Italians dug and loaded two 2-tonne mines under Monte Rosso. Before they had a chance to blow them, Austrian tunnellers broke into the blast chambers and stole all the Italian explosives. The Austrians later used those explosives to blow up the Italian tunnels.

Superb, eh? I’ll take that 😉

[Merryn @rentaquill]

During WW2, the comparative scale of many places was still beyond the scope of our imagination. Had to be one of the reasons why we went to war.

London: population in 1943? About 8.5m people.
Guadalcanal: number of men fighting for it?

100,000.
(60k US , 31.4k Japanese)

Some brilliant work by the @HQARRC sustainment teams to get our HQ set-up in place.
Great to see the use of a broad range of #infrastructure to increase #protection and #resilience.

60% of Hamas tunnels left undestroyed - there's no silver bullet to solving this issue... check out @RichemondBarak for more insight on this most wicked of problems!
