Great pictures again, thank you! A very balanced selection!
But since I'm still kinda newbie here I must ask again wherefrom you get all these pictures? It looks like press agency material, I can imagine that access to them costs money?
Does any one know where to find videos from the parade at red square today?
Isnt a shiny barrel a bad thing when its sunny and the thing is glittering in the sun? You could easily see it over a big distance.
AAAAANNNNARRRRRCCCCCHHHYYYYYYYYYYY !!!
OUCH, I got hurt ! MAMA, Police, Ambulance ! Someone help me !
IIRC the M114 barrel is shiny because of the design of the recoil system and the barrel cradle; even if it were painted, the paint would chip away every time the howitzer fired and recoiled.Originally Posted by CoRe
Great pix today, everyone, thanks!
