Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
i participated in @halokisses’s 3 day challenge last weekend. the challenge was great, i’ve grown to love blanket affirmations more and more. i manifested so many things i highly recommend this to all of you who have so many desires but don’t know where to start and/or want that hot summer glow up!
Tumblr media
︴whole desired body
» one thing i was always indecisive about was the body i wanted. one day i want to be thick and curvy the next day i want to be slim and petite. recently i was more on the slim and petite side and i’m so happy i stuck with that because i manifested being 110lbs (i was in my 120s before). the shape i have now is so sexy and slender. my body is so toned but it doesn’t look like i work out, it just looks like i’m just one of those people who was blessed and born with a naturally toned body lol. i still have pretty round hips and another thing i noticed is my tits are so perfect! i really don’t need a bra at all anymore which is a major plus because one thing i hate is wearing a bra in hot weather.
︴glass skin
» when i say there’s not a single flaw on my face, there is not a single flaw on my freaking face. my skin has never been this clear or had this glow. my menstrual cycle is also coming up and usually i’d get one or two little pimples but there’s not a pimple on my face.
︴baby hairs
» this one shocked me bc of how random it is. my baby hair got so much fuller and longer! i always wanted to do the dramatic baby hair look (like jayda wayda) but i never had the natural long ones. i can’t wait to style them with some straight backs omg- plus they’re not coiled up which makes them easier to do.
︴big lips
» my lips got freaking huge!! they were already a normal big before but now they’re big af! it looks so good on me and i love the way my lips look when i smile MM! i spent like 5 minutes in the mirror just staring at myself.
︴perfect teeth
» i had kind of small teeth which didn’t look bad at all, but this new look is wayyy better. my teeth are way more normal sized and perfectly shaped. they also look way whiter than before but i never really pay attention to the shade of my teeth fr.
︴face shape
» my jawline got so much sharper! it’s such an attractive look i didn’t even realize how sharp it got until i seen myself on my sisters story. i actually said “dayummm” when i saw myself. i’m a real fine ahh mf lmao.
Tumblr media
BONUS MANIFESTATIONS
i’m pretty positive i manifested these just from persisting in “i always have my desires in less than three days”.
︴money bagg clo
⋙ this is the big success i was talking about a few days ago. i manifested 5k out of the blue. my sister was gambling and she talked about how she almost won 5k and all i said was “damn, i wish you won so you could give me the whole 5k” as a joke. when i checked my cash app the next morning 5k was added to my previous amount. there was no notification about it being sent or anything plus i think the max amount you can send is 1k a month or something. i never had no big money manifestation like that and it had me so shook.
︴monte crisco
⋙ if you never had a monte crisco, you are missing outtt! those sandwiches are heaven sent and i was craving one bad! how bout my aunt brought me one for brunch tb some “i think you’d like this” UM YES? i was so happy i damn near got pissed off lmfaooo
︴winning crash bandicoot
⋙ that game is so hard i just be wanting to kick my tv. i was stuck on this one level for too long and within doing this challenge i passed it so easily. i just was going for it and didn’t fail once. it was a big relief and saved my tv from a tragedy.
︴packages
⋙ i ordered a lot of clothes shein and some hair. both packages were going to take so long to finally get to my house and even though i won’t be home any time soon, i just wanted it to be there. my packages went from taking almost weeks to only 3 days! my dad called me and said “did you mean to ship them here or did you want me to send them to your sisters house?” i was like what is this mf talking about but when he said it was a “sheen package and stuff” lol i was like ikyfllllll.
Tumblr media
the affirmations i chose were “i always have what i desire in less than three days” and “i glowed up for summer in less than three days”. do this challenge y’all! this is definitely some of the best successes I’ve ever gotten. and i’m also so proud of y’all who decided to do it with me, muahhh. love y’all <33

Exploring Object 120 in Kubinka Tank Museum
Translation under the cut
“We’re at the Kubinka Tank Museum and I’m showing off the Object 120. You guys know it from video games and you probably know more about this vehicle than me. It’s most defining attribute is it’s massive 152 mm cannon. However it’s armor is very thin with its upper plate is only 30 mm. The 152 mm cannon is crazy powerful and very long, almost too absurd to be put on a tank. It only carries 22 rounds and has about a rate of fire 6 rounds a minute or about a 10 second reload. Here I’m showing you the interior of the turret from the back, where you can see the breech and seats for the crew. This is probably an angle you guys have never seen before. This vehicle is very unique and there is only 1 in the world. Game companies probably came here and used a 3d scanner to create model for their games. Here you can see me in reference to the tank, it is quite large. It has 7 road wheels and weighs 27 tons and uses a V12 engine. The engine is located in the front and the tank will be disabled if the engine is hit. Thanks for watching and tell me what vehicle you would like me to look at for the next episode”

PTZ89s from the 3rd Armored Brigade, 39th Group Army, Shenyang Military Region, during a parade commemorating the end of service life for the vehicle, November 3rd, 2015.
The PTZ89 was a tank destroyer created during the 1980s to deal with the new generation of armor created by major nations, notably the T-72 and M1 Abrams. It was armed with a 120mm smoothbore gun of Chinese design. The main anti-tank round was either DYW1 (120-I) or DYW2 (120-II) APFSDS-T rounds, the latter having a longer rod for better penetration, capable of going through 220 mm of RHA (rolled homogenous armor) at 66.4 degrees at 2000 meters. A new shell could be loaded in as little as six seconds thanks to a semi-automatic loader, and the vehicle could maintain a top speed of 55 to 56 km/h on-road.
The chassis, the Type 321 Utility Tracked Chassis, is notable for its use on the PLZ83 self-propelled howitzer, PHZ89 self-propelled multiple rocket launcher, and an alternative chassis for the PGZ80 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun. Ultimately, the PTZ89 was taken out of service as its anti-tank capabilities were surpassed by conventional tanks armed with 125mm guns, such as the ZTZ96 and ZTZ99, and was taken out of service in 2015, with a number remaining in museums and public displays in China.

US Supplies Ukraine With Ammunition Capable Of Defeating Russian Tanks And Igniting Within In a significant move, the Biden administration has unveiled a comprehensive military aid package for Ukraine, featuring powerful tank rounds equipped with depleted uranium penetrators. This announcement coincides with a surprise visit to Kyiv by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, reinforcing the United States' commitment to bolstering Ukraine in its ongoing struggle against Russian aggression. US Military Aid to Ukraine The centerpiece of this military aid package is the 120 mm depleted uranium tank ammunition, a formidable addition to Ukraine's arsenal. These rounds are strategically designed to penetrate Russian armored vehicles and inflict additional damage by igniting fragments, generating intense heat, and exerting pressure within the target. The $175 Million Security Assistance Package The $175 million security assistance package from the United States Department of Defense encompasses an array of military capabilities. It includes artillery, missiles, anti-armor systems, and ammunition tailored for High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS). Notably, the depleted uranium ammunition will be launched from American M1 Abrams tanks, scheduled to arrive in Ukraine in the coming months. Depleted Uranium: A Military Marvel Depleted uranium, a dense and somewhat radioactive material, has been a staple of the US military's arsenal for decades, finding application in various areas, including tank armor, mortar projectiles, and ammunition. Its unique properties make it exceptionally effective in producing tank-penetrating rods that sharpen upon impact, enabling them to breach enemy armor effectively. The Pyrophoric Nature of Depleted Uranium Beyond its penetrative power, depleted uranium possesses a pyrophoric quality, meaning it heats up upon entering the target vehicle. The ensuing dust and fragments can ignite, potentially causing fires and further destruction inside the targeted tank or armored vehicle. Environmental and Health Considerations While depleted uranium offers military advantages, it also raises concerns related to the environment and health. As a byproduct of nuclear enrichment, it contains relatively low radiation levels and poses minimal health risks unless ingested or entering the body as shrapnel, which can lead to significant health complications, including kidney failure. International Support for Ukraine The United States is not alone in providing depleted uranium ammunition to Ukraine. The United Kingdom pledged similar rounds alongside advanced Challenger 2 tanks earlier this year, despite objections from President Vladimir Putin. Both nations assert the continued use of depleted uranium in tank rounds. A Crucial Juncture for Ukraine This military aid package arrives at a pivotal moment for Ukraine, where it is steadily gaining ground in its counteroffensive against Russian forces in occupied eastern and southern regions. The recent announcement, featuring depleted uranium tank ammunition and the imminent shipment of Abrams tanks, underscores the unwavering international support for Ukraine's endeavors. A Strong Message of Support The provision of depleted uranium tank rounds and other forms of military aid by the Biden administration sends a resolute message of support to Ukraine in its enduring struggle against Russian aggression. While concerns regarding environmental and health effects persist, the undeniable military efficacy of these projectiles reinforces Ukraine's position on the battlefield and its commitment to democracy. FAQs About US Military Aid to Ukraine What is included in the US military aid package to Ukraine? The aid package features depleted uranium tank rounds, artillery, missiles, anti-armor systems, and ammunition for HIMARS. How does depleted uranium ammunition work? Depleted uranium ammunition penetrates armored vehicles and ignites fragments, generating heat and pressure within the target. What are the potential health risks associated with depleted uranium? Depleted uranium can pose health risks if ingested or enters the body as shrapnel, potentially leading to kidney failure. Why is depleted uranium used in military applications? Depleted uranium is prized for its effectiveness in producing tank-penetrating rods and its pyrophoric nature. What is the significance of the US and the UK providing depleted uranium ammunition to Ukraine? Both nations assert their support for Ukraine by supplying depleted uranium ammunition, despite objections from President Vladimir Putin.

Tests show that tanks with explosive reactive shielding are no match for the A-10
Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 05/06/22 - 8:38 PM in Military
The A-10C Thunderbolt II of the 422nd and 59th U.S. Air Force Test and Evaluation Squadrons recently proved that modern armored vehicles equipped with explosive reactive armor (ERA) are still vulnerable ?? to the powerful GAU-8 Avenger cannon of the A-10C Thunderbolt.
This first test was carried out at the Nevada Test and Training Range in February this year, the U.S. Air Force said.
Each test mission included two A-10C aircraft using armored piercing incendiary ammunition against two battle tanks equipped with ERA. The pilots varied the attack parameters and direction to evaluate the effects of weapons against armored targets.
Through post-photography analysis of the video, photographic images and visual inspection of the targets, analysts were able to verify the battle damage inflicted on the tanks and determine that the tanks were inoperative.
"A typical A-10 weapon use uses 120 cartridges, which means that an A-10 is able to employ its nine to ten target weapon before depleting its ammunition," said Major Kyle Adkison, commander of division A-10C in the 422nd TES. “Against large forces on the field, the A-10 formations are capable of engaging about 40 armored vehicles with 30 millimeter ammunition. That's a significant amount of firepower."
In addition to the 30 mm gun rounds, the test also collected data on the effectiveness of the AGM-65L Maverick and AGR-20E advanced precision weapons system against armored vehicles.
"This has been a continuous testing effort since the idea originated in 2020," said 1st Lieutenant Christopher Earle, A-10C operations testing analyst at the 59th TES. “Now that it has materialized and proven to be successful, we will work to test other types of anti-armor ammunition in the air force inventory against ERA and collect more data.”
The A-10 is suitable for agile combat employment functions, and this test proves that the A-10 can continue to provide massive rapid firepower with devastating effects on enemy vehicles in a contested environment, the U.S. Air Force said.
Editor's Note: Explosive reactive armor is a type of shield reagent used in armored vehicles that, by means of an explosive, reacts to the impact of a projectile to reduce or stop drilling.

Patek Philippe Nautilus, storia di un orologio senza tempo. 
Tumblr media
Immagine che ritrae la pubblicità del Nautilus negli anni 70'
Ispirazione
Patek Philippe è azienda svizzera produttrice di orologi di lusso, tra le più antiche e prestigiose del mondo. Il modello Nautilus nasce nel 1976, Ref. 3700, grazie alla visione artistica di un grande progettista e ingegnere: Gèrald Genta. 
Il modello Nautilus è rimasto nella storia per il suo stile ingegnoso e unico per l’epoca, infatti si distacca completamente dai modelli di altre case orologiere di lusso. Il suo disegno s’ispirava alla forma degli oblò del Nautilus, il sommergibile presente nei romanzi di Jules Verne risalenti all'1870 circa. Da questo sommergibile unico e immaginario, nasce l’innovativa cassa che ricorda un oblò, la cui lunetta è di forma ottagonale e gli angoli dolcemente smussati, dando vita ad un orologio dal design unico e inimitabile.
Tumblr media
Foto che ritrae l'artigiano e Designer svizzero Gerald Genta
Aspetti tecnici
Il calibro che animava l’orologio del 1976, è stato veramente rivoluzionario, il 920 di Jeager-LeCoultre, un automatico con rotore centrale, rifinito secondo gli standard del sigillo di Ginevra. Il datario saltante ed uno spessore di soli 3,15 mm. completavano la sua linea sottile. La sua resistenza d'impermeabilità offriva prestazioni fino a 120 metri di profondità. Le dimensioni (42 mm di larghezza), gli attribuirono il nik-name "Jumbo". Nonostante il soprannome lasci immaginare dimensioni generose, il Nautilus era uno dei modelli piu’ sottili dell’epoca (7,60 mm). Del Nautilus furono prodotti in acciaio, acciaio e oro, oro giallo, oro bianco o platino, consegnato con una particolare scatola in sughero, oggi introvabile e molto ricercata dai collezionisti.

Patek Philippe Nautilus, history of a timeless watch.
Inspiration
Patek Philippe is a Swiss luxury watch company, among the oldest and most prestigious in the world. The Nautilus model was born in 1976, Ref. 3700, thanks to the artistic vision of a great designer and engineer: Gèrald Genta.
The Nautilus model has remained in history for its ingenious style that was unique for its time; in fact, it is completely detached from the models of other luxury watchmakers. Its design was inspired by the shape of the portholes of the Nautilus, the submarine featured in Jules Verne's novels dating from around 1870. From this unique and imaginary submarine came the innovative case that resembles a porthole, whose bezel is octagonal in shape and the corners gently rounded, resulting in a watch with a unique and inimitable design.
Technical aspects
The caliber that animated the 1976 watch was truly revolutionary, Jeager-LeCoultre's 920, an automatic with a central rotor, finished to Geneva Seal standards. A jumping date display and a thickness of only 3.15 mm. completed its slim line. Its water resistance offered performance to a depth of 120 meters. Its size (42 mm wide), gave it the nik-name "Jumbo." Despite the nickname suggesting generous dimensions, the Nautilus was one of the thinnest models of the time (7.60 mm). Of the Nautilus were produced in steel, steel and gold, yellow gold, white gold or platinum, delivered with a special cork box, today unobtainable and highly sought after by collectors.
Nautilus today
The timeless design has remained very close to its original version. Elegant and sporty, minimal and accurate at the same time. Today the Nautilus represents an excellent investment and certainly a favorite watch among collectors.

Biden spends another billion in weapons to kill Palestinians
The proposed deal by the Biden administration includes transfers of $700 million in 120 mm tank ammunition, $500 million in tactical vehicles and less than $100 million in 120 mm mortar rounds, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing US officials. This package, reportedly among the largest to Israel since Hamas's 7 October attack, which killed 1,200 people, would be in addition to those in a military aid deal currently before Congress, the report stated.

Interesting mortar shells spotted in Ukraine - Technology Org
New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/interesting-mortar-shells-spotted-in-ukraine-technology-org/
Interesting mortar shells spotted in Ukraine - Technology Org
Mortars shoot at a high trajectory, which means that they can deliver strikes deep into enemy trenches. In addition, they are highly mobile, fast, and sufficiently accurate. The only significant disadvantage is a fairly short range, but there are ways to improve it.
Polish 120mm OF-NMR mortar bombs with rocket range extenders spotted in Ukraine. (Screenshot)
Of course, there are mortars of a larger calibre that are capable of attacking fairly distant targets. FOr example, the Russian 240 mm self-propelled mortar Tyulpan can shoot at a distance of 10-18 km. However, this is a very large and unusual weapon.
Standard NATO 120 mm mortars have a range of about 8 km. This, by the way, is one of the reasons why the defenders of Ukraine make mortar decoys to fool the Russian invaders – the drones are very much looking for them because they know they can reach them. But there is also special ammunition that increases the effective range of mortar fire.
The defenders of Ukraine shared a video from the frontlines showing Polish 120mm OF-NMR mortar shells. They have additional rocket engines that allow them to fly a little further. The Ukraine Weapons Tracker page states that this is actually a “very rare Polish weapon” made for the 120-PM-43 mortar in service since 1943. This mortar is an old Soviet weapon from WWII. Its normal range is less than 6 km. That is why OF-NMR mortar shells were developed.
The OF-NMR projectile can hit targets up to 8 km away with the help of a rocket engine range extender – it goes more than 2 km further than standard rounds. This allows the mortar crew to stay slightly further from the contact line, avoiding the peeking eyes of the enemy drones and counter-battery fire.
Poland no longer needs these shells and can donate them to Ukraine without hurting its own military might. Poland had only 65 120-PM-43 mortars in 2022, but, of course, Poland is a NATO country and is not holding on to old Soviet mortars too strongly. It is likely that these mortars were also sent to Ukraine together with OF-NMR projectiles.
The 120-PM-43 was once considered to be one of the best mortars on the battlefield in Europe. A crew of 3 people prepares this mortar for work in just a couple of minutes. You can then fire 6 shots per minute with pauses for aiming and adjustments. Without those pauses, it is possible to achieve a rate of 15 shots per minute. But, of course, over time, the 120-PM-43 was simply technologically overtaken by more modern weapons. On the other hand, the 120-PM-43 is still used by a number of countries in Africa and Asia, as well as Russia.
People always say that Ukraine is getting a whole load of antique weapons. One needs to understand that weapon systems don’t age at the same rate as civilian equipment. Military equipment is built tougher, is simpler and doesn’t follow trends. If it shoots, it is probably still good enough to fight.
