81 years after the Katyusha and the Russians still need to launch munitions from American trucks.

Evander Berry Wall, a dandy and NYC socialite, used to get matching bespoke neckties from the famous Parisian tailoring house Charvet. One was for him; the other for his chow chow named Chi-Chi. This was so they could look like a set while dining together at the Ritz.

THIS IS NOT A DRILL, US EQUIPEMENT ENGAGING RUSSIAN EQUIPEMENT

[Haley Britzky @halbritz]

LTG Douglas Sims, talking to reporters now, says the B-1 bombers that participated in the strikes tonight flew in "a single non-stop flight" from the US, "all of that enhanced by our Transportation Command and our ability to gas and go along the way."

1/ Warrior Sailor Pin for following the “Way of the Warrior Sailor” philosophy

2/ Cookie (w/out bite) to recognize the intrinsic value of the Sailor.

3/ IKE Warrior Coin for specific actions

Some Sailors end up with all three. Coins/pins come out of pocket.

40 year old BFV slapping around one of the most advanced main battle tanks the Russians can field is unbelievably funny.

the funniest part of the red sea houthi pirate conflict is that the pirates keep posting super macho propaganda videos only to be annihilated while the captain of the carrier doing the annihilating is just tweeting about cute dogs and stuff

[Armand Domalewski @ArmandDoma]

The commander of the ship that smoked 3 Houthi crews posts photos of his incredibly diverse crew literally every day. They celebrated Taco Tuesday before gunning down 18 drones and multiple missiles.

[Armand Domalewski @ArmandDoma]

He tweeted this immediately before shooting down 18 Houthi drones and multiple Houthi missiles. Legend

Iranian-backed Houthi small boats attack merchant vessel and U.S. Navy helicopters in Southern Red Sea

On Dec. 31 at 6:30am (Sanaa time) the container ship MAERSK HANGZHOU issued a second distress call in less than 24 hours reporting being under attack by four Iranian-backed Houthi small boats. The small boats, originating from Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen, fired crew served and small arms weapons at the MAERSK HANGZHOU, getting to within 20 meters of the vessel, and attempted to board the vessel. A contract embarked security team on the MAERSK HANZGHOU returned fire. U.S. helicopters from the USS EISENHOWER (CVN 69) and GRAVELY (DDG 107) responded to the distress call and in the process of issuing verbal calls to the small boats, the small boats fired upon the U.S. helicopters with crew served weapons and small arms. The U.S. Navy helicopters returned fire in self-defense, sinking three of the four small boats, and killing the crews. The fourth boat fled the area. There was no damage to U.S. personnel or equipment.

Not so long ago, some paratroopers in the French Foreign Legion attempted a coup, with underwhelming results. I wonder if the VDV would be any better at it.

🚨🧵LEAK: Top Secret Cypher Telegram from Russia's Chief of General Staff Valery Gerasimov indicates dire concern of an armed rebellion by the Paratroopers (VDV) against the Russian government.
