Keir Starmer and our toy armed Forces!

 Pocket remote boats and drones for the Forces?

When working alongside what we already have this may be of great help, but what is not clear what are the Army and Air-force getting in this limited budget, that defeats the purpose of NATO and any further cooperation with the United States!

During the 1930's after the Great war, Britain chose to go light and we were caught out by Adolf Hitler in the second world war, but things had to be adapted quickly, the Spitfire was a success, but the Churchill MBT only really arrived in later 1944-45?

Without the United States and clever intelligence work and many brave men and woman, we would have been crushed and this will happen again more so with Iran, China and various proxies, maybe not tomorrow, but it will come!

FATHER CHRISTMAS!

 Is on His Way?

No matter how old you are lets keep our Father Christmas, who gifts his gifts to children and all at heart and may this be a peaceful Christmas season for all the different denominations, east and west!

By tradition he is coming on his sleigh from the north pole, but one is not sure how he operated down under, and with come gifts for good ones and not for naughty ones?

St. Nicolas of Greece is the one who gave toys to the children in a village were he lived and this is marked by the feast day on the 15th, which is also Chanukkah the festival of lights in the Jewish faith and both religions are combined in many ways and share much!

The United states will be monitoring Him as he flies over N-America also a good time for the U.S. Air and Space forces to check their missile defenses from the cold war era?

Happy Christmas and a peaceful New year to All!

A happier New Year 2021.

 What did you get in your Sock?

Christmas has proved through for model making and the traditional boys toys, but it has also included drones and cameras as gifts with new state of the art features that sometimes us oldies cannot keep up with?

Lockdown isolation does not have to be depressing with model railways, war gaming and interactive platforms. Looking out the window offers many different opportunities to observe nature, the skyline, vehicles and transport or something totally different?

We have to know that you cannot use a drone at a certain height and distance from any airport or field and one is not sure what the regulations say in relation to railway lines or yards or ports, marinas at that!

We are all hoping for a happier New Year, but with the warning from WHO, it may be getting worse?

Father Christmas not effected by COVID-19!

 What will Christmas Bring in our Socks?

For many children it may mean little or nothing, since poverty in western society is on the rise and one can measure this by the price of rents in the private sector and so called unsocial housing?

But there is a plethora of toys out there and many of us will get something despite the continuing Pandemic?

New announcements in technology will also come to the fore at this time of the year with more emphasis on both electric and gas powered machines, but also the rise of the drone and more effective uses for them from Internet shopping providers to even the postal services?

Drones may initially work well in isolated places, saving delivery and driver times and some may even be deployed from vehicles rather than distribution centers? 

One main problem with drone flights is that they could collide with light aircraft or obstacles such as power lines, transmitters and other communication towers!

Russias New Toys!

Tested out on Us?

Spite may cost the lives of millions once more and another world war, if this nerve agent business is not ended with Russia?

Russia has some new toys it claimed last week and it has had to upgrade its weapon systems in light of the madness of both Donald Trump and Mrs. May's allegations?

There is still a lot going on in the world, Syria, Libya, N-Korea, and Afghanistan, the problems with Islamic terrorism have not gone away just because the media is not reporting much!

Britain has become obsessed with chemical weapons, but then last week it sold more shells to Saudi-Arabia to kill more people in Yemen!

The Russian federation boasts it has a sleeping drone torpedo and some new nuclear powered aerial drones, while it has upgraded all it Nuclear missiles and Soviet era technology. We know they have a new MBT, new Surface to air missiles they are selling to the Saudis and the Turks based on the BUC system.

Much of what we also know is that what we have seen in relation to the conflict in Syria, new aircraft, helicopters and ship launched missiles. But its now their capability to hit any where in the world that is worrying and also their claims they will defend N-Korea?

One has to wonder about China and what they could do, with all that licenced western technology against us?
