Wow. This is apparently what was supposed to be a STATIC FIRE TEST today of a Tianlong-3 first stage by China's Space Pioneer. That's catastrophic, not static. Firm was targeting an orbital launch in the coming months. m.weibo.cn/detail/5050998629…

Girkin strikes back ⚡️ announces presidential candidacy! Girkin published a manifesto on his Telegram channel comparing himself to the current president, who is "too kind, too trusting, too athletic and sporty", and offers himself to the people! Seriously though, looks like Girkin and his wife gave up on hoping for "justice" and decided to troll their way out of the situation. Girkin remains in custody despite the appeal.

Today at the National Fodder Conference, Louise Brown @HydgeneR talked about a low carbon future and asked, "Straw stubble, what can we do to add value?" and Eliza Redfern @Dairy_Australia delivered the market outlook for dairy.

1/ CONQUERING CRIMEA: PART 4 In this fourth of a short series of threads on the military history of Crimea, I'll be looking at the German-Romanian invasion of Crimea during World War II, between September 1941 and July 1942. It had some analogies with Ukraine's current position.

GeoConfirmed UKR. On March 14, 2023, the US released a statement that an MQ-9 "Reaper" was hit by a Russian SU-27 fighter. Russia claimed it did not came into contact with the unmanned aerial vehicle. Who is lying? 1/x to xx/End

Ukrainian techs and maintainers are trained the way the US Military trained both those groups during the Cold War, with fundamentals from the ground up. Post Cold War, Western techs & maintainers have been brought up in a "monkey-see monkey-do" swap a module approach. 5/

This is going to be an extended 🧵on consequences of Russian casualty rates on its culture and what it means for Russo-Ukrainian War termination. What was notable about the 2014-to-2015 Donbass War/ATO was that more Russian troops were killed than the total number of... 1/
