Footage has confirmed that at least one of the German-supplied Leopard 2A6 main battle tanks captured from Ukrainian forces has been sent to Russia’s main tank manufacturing facility, Uralvagonzavod, for study. Russian media outlets have reported that specialists are analysing the tank’s components, systems, and subsystems for intelligence on its capabilities, including “to assess the actual military-technical level of various systems and the captured vehicle itself.” Unlike Ukraine’s American supplied M1A1 Abrams tanks, which have also been captured in the past, Leopard 2A6 tanks sent to the country were not built specifically for export, and were instead taken directly from German Army…

Tenison, 39, an Iraq War veteran, was diagnosed with stage four stomach cancer. IN POTENTIAL CANCER BREAKTHROUGH, NEWLY FOUND ‘KILL SWITCH’ TRIGGERS DEATH OF CANCER CELLS: ‘ONE-TWO PUNCH’ It had been nearly two decades since he last fired a tank, but it was his top request on a list of things he wanted to accomplish once he received the terminal diagnosis.

Israel risks facing a long and bloody insurgency if it defeats Hamas and occupies Gaza without a credible post-war plan to withdraw its troops and move toward the creation of a Palestinian State, US and Arab officials, diplomats and analysts said. None of the ideas floated so far by Israel, the United States and Arab nations for the post-war administration of Gaza have managed to gain traction, according to two US and four regional officials as well as four diplomats familiar with the discussions, raising fears the Israeli military may become mired in a prolonged security operation.

An Iraqi airman was killed and another injured when their military helicopter crashed as they took part in a major security operation for provincial elections, the defence ministry said Tuesday. The aircraft encountered a “technical problem” shortly after takeoff from an airbase outside Tuz Khurmatu, south of Kirkuk, on Monday evening and crashed, killing the pilot and injuring the second officer, the ministry said.
