Yes - you often see various kite-pulled devices - whether tricycles, or water-borne. They get up to incredible speeds. You also see someone come with their horse and trap - training in circles on the sand. A little north, the beach is regularly used for riding experiences and exercising horses...

My avatar is actually one of the nearby beaches! It links up to the next beach south at low tide. The only difficulty with beaches is access - some you can park near, or there is a steep walk, etc. But there are lots of them. From the same beach, but on the seawall, I took the one below...

Today, I actually saw the Caspian Sea! https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/details/ships/shipid:5821588/mmsi:636019071/imo:9829095/vessel:CASPIAN_SEA And it can carry more than any aircraft! Gross Tonnage: 63416 Summer DWT: 114218 t

War always results in some unexpected stories: Mriyas and Javelins: new Ukrainian toys. I bought a Mriya for my kid, because every child needs to have a Dream

I see that nasty piece of work from Somerset has been opening his gob again: Rwanda asylum plan is ‘almost Easter story of redemption’, says Rees-Mogg Minister for Brexit opportunities defends scheme after archbishop of Canterbury voices strong criticism He should, perhaps, realise that the...

Or training others in the ways of the SAS. Though I'm not sure that we would wish to risk getting rumbled in having deployed British forces there at all.

I wouldn't have expected the SAS to be needed to train for NLAWs. Surely we use SAS for the purposes they are especially suited?

Wholeheartedly agree that Liz Truss is guaranteed to get the worst out of almost everyone.

It is still being discussed, including, for example, on Forbes. Nothing I have seen so far definitively says that it wasn't. Just that it has not been confirmed beyond doubt. Ukraine denies. Russia alleges. Video is questionable.

But someone did something. Such tanks don't usually burst into flames spontaneously.

Did we ever see confirmation that the oil storage attack in Russia was by Ukrainian helicopters?

How long will Putin live? That seems a possible end point.

The ultimately ridiculous end point would be Russia hanging on to Crimea, but their Black Sea fleet has been more or less entirely sunk.

The Russians have done something that I'd not mind copying: Boris Johnson banned from Russia

Don't know I've ever thought of this before in relation to howitzers, but a built-in self-destruction option might be useful to prevent them being used by the enemy. Mind, if the specs. for shells available to Russia are different, they might not be much use until some adaption is figured out.

I'd be surprised if there hasn't been work on passive radar for this purpose. Though location would probably have a major effect on how much radio signal is around to bounce. Hence, in the mid-Pacific might be unusable.

Just read this in the Kyiv Independent - so believe as much or as little as you wish: The Times: British SAS troops ‘are training local forces in Ukraine.’ Ukrainian commanders told The Times that British Special Air Service troops have been “on the ground” in and around Kyiv training new and...

But weren't we discussing the use of satellite data? And my earlier point about Phalanx-like weaponry is that, once in a dangerous environment, they lock and fire without the crew doing anything.

As someone who knows from personal experience, and that of others who have been far worse off, this is a mixture of heart-rending and heart-warming. Poland’s buckling healthcare system nevertheless welcomes Ukraine refugees with open arms Medical needs “The Polish healthcare service, from...

Just been thinking - I wouldn't put it beyond possibility they are getting satellite imagery from Russia. :)
