@10DowningStreet But instead of condemning Israel or trump, you've joined us with them in another illegal, unjustified and pointless war.

Together with our allies, we condemn in the strongest terms recent attacks by Iran on unarmed commercial vessels in the Gulf, attacks on civilian infrastructure including oil and gas installations, and the de facto closure of the Strait of Hormuz by Iranian forces.

The "interesting" looking Italy's Lancia 1ZM armored car rolled out in 1918 as an upgraded WWI scout vehicle. Built on a tough Lancia truck chassis with a 35 hp engine, it could hit about 37 mph on good roads, weighed around 8,200 lbs(3.7 tonnes curb, up to 9,300 pounds combat loaded), and packed three machine guns in a single turret for solid firepower. Over 110 were produced (after just 10 of the earlier double-turret 1Z version), seeing action in WWI, the interwar years, the Spanish Civil War, and even limited WWII use by Italy and others like Czechoslovakia.

@aviationarchive Its drawback was in having almost no off-road ability. Single driven axle, negligible suspension and an overloaded chassis. They were defeated easily in Spain and Abyssinia by blocking roads with small logs or rocks, then attacking when they stopped to clear it.

@mechanical_4u He missed out the best bit! There's a helical groove on the flywheel. You lift the little wheel here, put it into the groove, and then it works a decompressor for the first few turns, until the wheel runs out of the groove.

@USN_Submariner How does this work in the submarine fleet regarding captains? Is it the same fate as running aground for a surface command? What about running into an uncharted undersea mount?

OTD in 2009: USS Hartford (SSN 768) pulling into Bahrain after rolling 85° while running up under the keel of USS New Orleans (LPD-18) while at periscope depth in the Strait of Hormuz. Had to transit all the way back to the US on the surface for the $120 million repairs.

@LondonLabour @ZackPolanski Starmer's Labour is supporting Israel's war by allowing trump to bomb Iran from our airbases. Labour's campaign strategy is to brown-nose the racist right and try not to lose to Reform. And you're attacking the Greens? Read the room!

If you didn't know that the BBC's Middle East Editor is a former CIA employee and Mossad "collaborator" (his words) who has a signed letter of praise from Netanyahu hanging on his wall, you should probably read my report into how the BBC functions: mintpressnews.com/bbc-israel-cov…

Lovern G💜Royal ‘Expert’😂
UK public should know William, doing Comic Relief is for PR, over the last 19yrs the Duchy has received £10.3 million in rent from Comic Relief. Claiming William has supported the charity for years is disingenuous as he is their Landlord, he never makes donations only takes rent

@maiamindel trump is a Ponzi scheme of outrage. Every time he does something inexcusable, he follows it with something even worse a few days later. We can't deal with the first, we're too amazed by the later one. But it's still a pyramid scheme, and one day he has to go down for it.

@JohannesTopo I've never had a vintage Alfa that wouldn't start. Chose to never have a Selespeed gearbox either.
