Meet the Endoterrestrials

A sturdy Pyrex bottle, sealed tight and filled with water, burst like a balloon. Templeton had just guided her Land Cruiser across the bumpy, rock-strewn floor of Wadi Lawayni, a broad, arid valley that cuts through the mountains of Oman.

Earth Overshoot Day – #MoveTheDate of Overshoot!

Footprint Calculator. Earth's resources consumed in ever greater destructive volumes.

Earth's resources consumed in ever greater destructive volumes

As a result, the Earth Overshoot Day – which marks the point at which consumption exceeds the capacity of nature to regenerate – has moved forward two days to 1 August, the earliest date ever recorded. To maintain our current appetite for resources, we would need the equivalent of 1.7 Earths, according to Global Footprint Network, an international research organisation that makes an annual assessment of how far humankind is falling into ecological debt. The overshoot began in the 1970s, when rising populations and increasing average demands pushed consumption beyond a sustainable level. Since then, the day at which humanity has busted its annual planetary budget has moved forward. JASS Manual: Types.

PROFESSIONAL American female voice over narration. Tankograd: T-72. The 2010 book "T-72 Ural armor against NATO" by noted military historian Mikhail Baryatinsky details the history of the development of the tank, and has been invaluable in enabling this short introduction to be written.Firstly, it should be clear that the T-72 is indeed a "mobilization model" with slightly inferior performance compared to the T-64.

Tankograd: T-72

Some Internet sleuths found this chart of prices showing that the T-72A (1979) was significantly more expensive than the T-64A (1968), but despite this, the fact remains that the T-72 was created primarily because the Kharkov design bureau responsible for the T-64 was too busy with the T-64 itself to be concerned with designing a simplified version of it - a mobilization model, in other words. The technology of the T-72 Ural was also very conspicuously inferior to the T-64A in major ways.

Baryatinsky's book gives us the details of the late stages of gestation of the T-72. And thus, the T-72 was born. T-72 (left), T-55 (right) Tankograd: May 2015.

In 1946 and 1947, the Swedish army purchased a total of four surplus Shermans (first one M4A2 and one M4A4 without weapons, then a Firefly with the Continental radial engine and one M4 with the 10,5 cm howitzer) from the Brits, mainly to gain experience with foreign tank designs. A few attempts were made to purchase another 50 as surplus (they were very cheap, less than a thousand pounds each – you could get something like 50 modern, fully functional Shermans for the price of a single new build strv m/42), but this deal fell through because of difficulties with finding enough spare parts.

A number of automotive trials were done with these Shermans under field-like conditions, and a few reports were written.
