Safe spaces can evolve / devolve basis multiple factors.. So lets find our own, till we find them safe.

Sanskrit did not become our national language for several reasons, despite being an ancient language with connections to many languages spoken in India. Currently, less than 0.002% of the population speaks Sanskrit. It is time to prioritize our ancient language before it becomes extinct. The government should take necessary measures by passing a law requiring that all official announcements, notifications, and acts related to central and state governments include Sanskrit alongside other official languages. This practice should also be adopted by other public service entities.

🇹🇷🇺🇦🌊🇷🇺 The use of a remote-controlled jet ski #USV with #explosives in the BlackSea represents a novel approach to #maritime #warfare and #sabotage, leveraging advancements in technology for tactical advantages. * The platform is a standard jet ski, known for its speed, agility, and ability to navigate through rough waters. * Advanced remote-control technology allows for precise maneuvering from a considerable distance. This system includes GPS navigation and real-time video feeds for accurate control. The jet ski is equipped with a payload of plastic explosives or RPG penetration head which can be detonated remotely. * Modifications for reducing radar and sonar signatures can be added to increase the chances of the jet ski evading detection. Potential Uses: * Harbor Sabotage: Remote-controlled jet skis can be used to infiltrate harbors and attack docked ships or port infrastructure, causing significant damage with minimal risk to personnel. * Naval Warfare: In naval conflicts, these jet skis can target enemy vessels, particularly smaller, less heavily armored ships, delivering a surprise attack that conventional methods might not achieve. * Coastal Operations: They can be deployed against coastal defenses or facilities, providing a means to strike from the sea without direct human involvement. * Psychological Impact: The unpredictability and novelty of such attacks can have a psychological impact, causing heightened alertness and fear among naval forces and coastal defenses. These devices are relatively low-cost compared to traditional naval vessels, making them an effective tool for asymmetric warfare, where smaller forces can challenge larger navies. The use of remote-controlled explosive jet skis necessitates advancements in detection and countermeasures, such as enhanced surveillance, electronic jamming, and automated defense systems. #Note * 🇩🇿🇲🇦🚤🇪🇸🇵🇹 The #BrigadeAlAndaluz( Magreb organized crime bands plus operators from #IRGCs and #Hezbollah) has experimented with them for drug and money smuggling across #GibraltarStrait using them as #decoys for manned operations. #Hezbollah is believed to have experimented with them in this area for use against #gas platforms and #Israeli🇮🇱 #naval targets. #BrigadeAlAndaluz #IRGCs #HezbollahSOps #TrafficRoutes #Magreb #Spain🇪🇸 #Portugal🇵🇹 Among the various routes exploited for these illicit activities, the Valencia-Algeria corridor stands out as a prominent path. This route has been frequently utilized by #BrigadeAlAndaluz, #IRGCs and #HezbollahSpecialOps. The #BrigadeAlAndaluz appears to play a crucial role in orchestrating and facilitating these operations, indicating a sophisticated level of organization and cooperation among different criminal entities. Their activities underscore the challenges faced by authorities in combating such well-coordinated and pervasive criminal and terrorists enterprises

What happened to the Caspian Sea Monster, the Ekranoplan. (by WJB) After my comment on the whereabouts of the AN225 Mriya which was destroyed by Russian forces at the Hostomel Airport where it remains, someone asked me a good question in a comment. "What happened to the Caspian Sea Monster". The one Ekranoplan of the two that were being built, that was completed and tested rests at the newly build Patriot Park, Derbent, Dagestan, Russia. For the past 30 years it was stored at a Naval base to the North, and I was able to locate it in 2007 on Google Earth. It has since been towed to its purpose-built location in the park to be appreciated by all. There were never any plans to restore it to working condition after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. If you are an aviator, a sailor, or interested in History you will appreciate it, and I highly recommend a visit. The discovery of the Ekranoplan forced the United States to place low sea level radar stations at the ADIZ since regular radar would not see it approaching, and it was considered a viable threat to the United States during the cold war. I placed a large marker on it @Google Earth. The video below is from the days when the Soviet Union was testing it, and its design and use today would be absolutely viable for shipping and transportation. One personal comment: As I am a pilot of all types of Aircraft including sea planes, I am familiar with the difference between salt and sweet water planes, and how insidious salt water is on sea planes versus sea planes that are only used in lakes or fresh water. The maintenance is significant. The Caspian Sea is considered the world's largest lake, but the water is classified as Brackish since it contains 1.2% salt water, but this still creates a more forgiving environment. Any of you who have been to freshwater lakes that are clean and looked at the boats and outboard engines that are docked on these lakes notice old engines that may have some oxidation but no pitting of the metal or serious oxidation of the kind that results in rust. Salt water can be like battery acid on metal and electrical parts so I would imagine this idea would become more economically viable as we transition to new materials such as wood, plastics, stainless steel, cement, cast iron, brass or aluminium. https://lnkd.in/ePJ_r7bv

The first flight of the XFV-1 Salmon happened 70 years ago, on June 16, 1954. What do you think of this aircraft? 👀🔙 #midwestatc #aviation #aviationlovers #aviationgeek #aviationdaily #airplanelovers #aviationhistory #history

Candy wrapper, beer can, soiled diaper, mattress on the side of the road, abandoned RV, passenger vessel, decommissioned orbitals off-planet. Human capacity to scale its footprint relative to the want-waste-want cycle is grotesque... but not as debilitating as humanity's expectations that other living entities and systems - now struggling to survive the overwhelming onslaught - continue to absorb the impact. ______________________________
