‼️‼️‼️🇪🇪 BIG | Estonia is moving forward with a high-stakes infrastructure project in Narva, directly on the border with Russia.
Following the approval of a land swap deal by the Narva City Council, the Estonian Defense Forces (EDF) have officially begun preparations to establish a permanent military presence in the city, which is predominantly Russian-speaking and separated from Russia by the Narva River.
This base is more than a tactical asset; it is a profound symbolic shift in Estonian defense doctrine. For decades, the EDF has had a limited visible presence in Narva. By placing soldiers directly on the border, the Estonian government—led by Defense Minister Hanno Pevkur—aims to demonstrate that Estonia is prepared to defend its territory "from the very first meter."
Former NATO Military Committee Chair Bauer: I tried four times to reach out to Gerasimov [Russia’s top general] through letters. He said he was busy with the “special military operation.”
Later he said: you are part of NATO, NATO is part of the problem, I can’t talk to you.

One of the most unusual aircraft ever built, the Vought V-173 — nicknamed the “Flying Pancake” — was an experimental fighter developed in 1942 during World War II. Its circular wing design gave it exceptional low-speed handling and the ability to take off and land at very low speeds.
Although it never entered production, the V-173 successfully demonstrated the concept and led to the development of the Vought XF5U.👀
Deep sea sediment cores from the North Atlantic reveal something unexpected: alternating layers of coarse and fine material that challenge our assumptions about steady oceanic processes. When researchers pull these cores from the ocean floor and analyze their composition, they find thick deposits of fine sediment, the kind forming today at current rates, interrupted by distinct layers of much coarser material. The texture and grain size of sediment tells a story about the energy and conditions present when it was deposited. Fine material settles slowly under calm conditions, while coarse deposits suggest rapid, high-energy events. The succession of these contrasting layers points to dramatic shifts in oceanic conditions over time, periods of relative stability punctuated by episodes of something far more dynamic.
