An MH-60R Seahawk helicopter from the U.S. Navy's Maritime Strike Squadron HSM 41 "Sea Hawks" conducts a joint exercise with the Peruvian diesel-electric submarine BAP Pisagua (SS 33). The exercise, taking place off the coast of San Diego, is designed to enhance interoperability and practice anti-submarine warfare operations, furthering cooperation between the U.S. and Peruvian navies.

A rare Vespa TAP150 scooter has been put up for sale in France. This is a unique military scooter, manufactured in a small batch. It was reported on the Rideapart website. The combat scooter was created and manufactured by the French company ASMA, which acquired a license from the Italian Vespa to manufacture motor vehicles. About 600 of these scooters were manufactured from 1956 to 1959.

The Vespa TAP150 is equipped with an American recoilless gun M20 with a caliber of 75 mm. It is capable of firing cumulative shells at 6500 m. The 145 cc engine accelerates the Vespa TAP150 to 66 km/h.

The Vespa scooter could be dropped with a parachute, so it entered service with the French airborne troops. The TAP150 crew consisted of two people - a gunner and a loader. The scooter could not fire while moving - it had to stop.

In spite of the fourteen-nation conference, which declared at Geneva in 1962 that Laos is a neutral country, and the agreement was signed by the three fractions competing for control of the country, no real progress towards unification and pacification has been made, and fighting is continually breaking out. American sources admit that armed reconnaissance flights are made over communist-controlled Pathet Lao part of the country, in the east, along the Vietnamese border, and occasional shots are exchanged. The caption to our picture, received from Hanoi, states that it shows anti-aircraft troops of the Laotian Peoples Liberation Army, and claims they have helped to bring down 102 U.S. aircraft since 1965.

They have to operate at very long distances in an electronic-warfare saturated environment. Even the tiniest imperfections can be the difference between life and death.

This is a workshop for combat FPV drones, so precision is extremely important.

tl;dr:

Donald Trump’s campaign accidentally used an image of the country of Georgia in a digital ad intended for voters in the U.S. state of Georgia. The ad featured a scenic backdrop of vast mountain ranges, which online users quickly identified as the Caucasus Mountains from the European nation, rather than any landscape found in the U.S. The ad urged Georgia voters to check their voter registration status, with a message from Trump emphasizing how crucial their votes were in the upcoming election.

“ATTENTION GEORGIA: I’m humbly asking you to stop what you’re doing and check your voter registration status,” the ad stated. However, instead of highlighting the battleground state, the image depicted the wrong "Georgia," causing a humorous mix-up.

The ad had been running on Facebook since September 10, with around $6,000 spent before it was removed on Monday after being featured in the Politically Georgia newsletter. The campaign did not provide a response regarding the mistake, but aides from Vice President Kamala Harris' camp were quick to mock the error. Harris’ deputy spokesperson, Ammar Moussa, sarcastically commented on the blunder, calling it a “top-notch operation.”

That poll was taken in June, but I agree with the message.

From his frame of reference the train is still, so he's using the same amount of energy.
