Internet tells me that today is the 500th birthday of the Swedish Navy, so to celebrate, have this photo of a totally innocent island.

- OK, first thoughts. I see four pairs SS-N-12 launchers seemingly intact. Major damage seems to be in way of the midships deckhouse with AK-630 CIWS. That's a fair amount of cookoff if the ammo catches. The black patches seem to be smoke from shattered windows. 1/n
- WHY IS THE PERSPECTIVE SO WIERD? So many of these DoD paintings looked like they were referenced from spy cameras with fish eye lenses. Oh, waitโฆ
- Regarding The Slanty Ship. Landing ships usually have wing compartments either side of the vehicle deck, allowing access, space for troop accommodation etc. This can cause a severe list from relatively minor damage, due to the asymmetric flooding. 1/n
- I used this image to explain the โ80s to my studentsโฆ
- I love this thing. Spinning reduces HEAT performance, but spinning improves accuracy. So put the HEAT warhead on bearings inside the shell, so it doesn't spin.cutaway of the AMX-30s HEAT shell
- So, pending further information, I'm not very stressed over DIAMOND using her 30mm to down drones. Palletised 30mm has been provided to Ukraine as a counter to Shaheed. Darkened ship could be near invisible to drone operators so DIAMOND may have been able to... 1/n

- Sometimes I remember that NRO launched the worlds largest spy satellite - with an estimated dish diameter of 100-120m - and straight up parked it next to an Arabic telecoms satellite to eavesdrop on phone calls from 36000km away and thereโs something utterly hilarious about it.
- Ahh, CHARGER, the 60-knot submarine one student group produced when handed a 50MW nuclear plant and told to "sprint as fast as possible"...
- Well hullo there. US SIGINT aircraft seem to be paying a lot of attention to Kaliningrad today.
- In the post-apocalyptic future, where bands of cybernomads roam the blasted earth, there is only MAERSK.God I love armoured logistics I love all-terrain heavy trucks with ISO containers and angular ballistic glass cabins
- Polyarmourous; someone who likes many types of tanks at once.
- This is it, the most cursed wing configuration. The more I look at it, the more I want to scream.
