  7. Captured M2A2 Bradley revealed in Russian tests, hints at new tactics (msn.com) O ne of the captured M2A2 Bradley ODS infantry fighting vehicles has unexpectedly become a centerpiece in Russian showcase events. However, the images circulating reveal more than intended, showing signs of additional tests that were likely meant to stay under wraps. Here’s what these hidden clues tell us.

  8. Or that salvage efforts have been a *thing* for a long, long time. Being interested in how our new M4s had made out in the battle, I spent several hours at this salvage park examining the wrecked, yet salvageable M4 tanks. Once more the positive fact was clearly and indelibly emblazoned across the skies of the future. The Germans had out-gunned us, in spite of the fact that we had won the battle. Again, did I realize that, had Rommel had his gas so that his armor could have maneuvered 100%, we undoubtedly would have had far greater tank losses." ..... .... .. h p..... ark were a sorry mess and their crews were largely all dead due to having lesser potential guns weren't by any means a match for the comparable German guns.'"

  15. Tangential story - the Squadron I served with in the late 20th century was in France & Germany in 1944/45. They were issued the early M8 Greyhound armored cars, which came without the turret ring and .50 cal mount.. The Squadron Commander got to be drinking buddies with the commander pf a 'Red Ball Express' truck battalion in mid-late 1944. A trade was arranged - the Cav's *acquired* surplus 2 1/2 ton trucks (quantity unspecified) for complete .50 cal & ring mounts (quantity unspecified), since the air threat to the Red Ball Express had disappeared by then.

Amped up on amphetamines, these assorted renegades and sociopaths undertook the very first of Churchill's special operations--a top-secret, high-stakes mission to seize Nazi shipping in the far-distant port of Fernando Po, in West Africa. Guy Ritchie made a movie about them.
