Sealand, located in the North Sea, is recognized as the world's smallest country, occupying an offshore platform roughly the size of a football field. Established in 1967 on an abandoned World War II anti-aircraft platform, Sealand is a self-proclaimed micronation. Pioneered by Roy Bates, it operates as an independent sovereign state, complete with its own flag, currency, and passport. Despite its diminutive size, Sealand has a colorful history, including pirate radio broadcasts and unconventional attempts at nationhood. While not widely acknowledged as a legitimate state, Sealand remains a fascinating example of unique attempts at sovereignty on a micro scale. #Sealand #Visa #world

Takeaways for Afghanistan after their stellar T20 WC performance. For Voice of America (VoA) at 2:20 min PS: original video w/o Pashto voice-over is in the comment section

Sadly, we have another confirmed loss of a Ukrainian Leopard 2A4 close to Robotyne. This is very likely to belong to the 82nd Air Assault Brigade.   I looked up the total confirmed losses of Leopard 2 tanks (on Oryxspioenkop.com) and was surprised to see that they have been relatively light. There has been a lot of negative media reports about the losses of Western-donated equipment. However, so far, we only have 3 confirmed losses of the Leopard 2A4, with an additional 4 damaged. There have also been 3 confirmed losses of the Leopard 2A6, with 6 more being damaged.   Ukraine has, to date, received a total of 71 Leopard 2 tanks. In addition to which, Germany has authorised the transfer of 178 older Leopard 1 tanks. Ten of these are believed to have already arrived in Ukraine, with the remainder due to arrive before the end of the year.   https://lnkd.in/gbB2G8-R

Thermobaric warhead in Shahed-131/136... From the first days they received these kamikaze drones from Iran, the Russians tried to improve them in one way or another. They were not satisfied with a number of characteristics of the Iranian semi-finished product, including its warhead. Despite the fact that 40 kg is a fairly powerful warhead for a drone of this type, the occupiers did not have enough of it and they tried in every possible way to strengthen the warhead with fragmentation, submunitions, etc. It seems that they came to the conclusion of a complete change in the operating principle of the warhead, to thermobaric, but... But it is important to note one point here. Shahed-131/136 is used mainly in the rear of Ukraine and in most cases, civilians become victims of these kamikaze drones. That is, Shahed-131/136 is not a weapon, but a means of terror. In turn, thermobaric weapons are considered the most powerful non-nuclear weapons in their category. Despite all the shortcomings of the TOS-1A Solntsepek, its MO.1.01.04M rocket is the most powerful weapon in its weight category. That is, the Russians purposefully install such dangerous combat units on the Shahed-131/136 so that... In order to significantly increase the rate of destruction and casualties. Remind me, please, what is it called? Maybe the UN will help with the correct answer? Source: TG https://t.me/marynachekh
