Saint-Denis (93) : Bally Bagayoko (LFI) annonce une purge idéologique des agents municipaux
🇫🇷👮 FLASH | Le maire de Saint-Denis, Bally Bagayoko, confirme le lancement d’un « processus de désarmement » de la police municipale, avec un RETRAIT progressif des armes, à commencer par les LBD. (BFMTV)
« La France doit réparer financièrement la colonisation » On a demandé à @thomas_guenole , politologue, essayiste et intellectuel, de défendre une « idée inacceptable » dans notre format du même nom.
So, Ajax is fine, if you apply a far more intense maintenance regime which, from the sounds of it, will be entirely impractical in tactical situations. I’d say that makes the vehicle unfit for purpose. Furthermore, as a former tank soldier myself, track maintenance incl. track tightening are entirely routine activities. But why? Because the track links and the pins (or clips) that connect them are subject to gradual wear. This results in the track “stretching”. That in turn requires tightening of the track or one or two links to be removed to shorten the track. If Ajax suffers that much from track stretching, there’s a flaw. It also means track replacement will be required more frequently and tank tracks are very expensive. Plus, to operate an armoured vehicle you must have done the relevant training courses which include maintenance regimes. So, it’s hard to believe Armoured Corps soldiers crewing Ajax didn’t know what they were doing. Is the Army trying to make it work, driven by “we need something and we’re not going to get anything else, so we just have to make Ajax work somehow”? Are there continuing design flaws? Were there problems with the training regime - if so, given the normality of track stretch, how did that happen? Or is there a combination of these? Certainly, the @CommonsDefence needs to probe deeper. (Below: track removal being undertaken on a Challenger 2 - similar track to Ajax)
🔴🇪🇺 ALERTE INFO | La Commission européenne va enquêter sur les aides d’État françaises à EDF pour ses 6 nouveaux réacteurs EPR2. Coût du programme : 72,8 milliards €. Bruxelles craint que l’État renforce la position dominante d’EDF, déjà à 75 % de la production. L’Autriche prépare déjà des recours. (La Tribune)
C’est vraiment le luxe des blancs de ne « pas voir les couleurs ». Nous dès notre enfance, on nous la rappelle constamment. Assumer et avoir conscience de notre couleur de peau, ne fait pas de nous des racialistes, seulement des gens plus éveillés et avertis sur la question du racisme.
The Ministry of Defence has confirmed it has received the final Army safety investigation report into the Ajax armoured vehicle programme, with ministers set to update Parliament on next steps after the Easter recess. Click image for more. ukdefencejournal.org.uk/fate-of-troubl…
