#FirepowerFriday #WW2 #ships: #Germany's mighty and handsome 52,600-ton 8x15" battleship Tirpitz at speed↖️ and Tromso fjord, #Norway↗️. ↙️↘️Perhaps on November 12, 1944 when she was sunk by RAF Lancasters. Her clean lines betray a lack of AA. Photo: ACME.
2/ Per reddit.com/r/WarshipPorn/…, here's a #USNavy manual excerpt on Tirpitz identifying what is what.
3/ Tirpitz was, of course, the second and last ship of the Bismarck-class battleships. These diagrams from forum.worldofwarships.com/topic/199855-t…, etc., show her gentle evolution over time, especially ↖️↗️↙️where we see improvements in AA, radars and camo. ↘️ is similar to ↗️.

Welcome to #FirePowerFriday

The sun is shining on our Challenger 2s here in Tidworth and they're getting ready to break out onto the plain!

Today, we look to our next Armoured Fighting Vehcile. It is the mighty 💪 BRADLEY 🇺🇸

Operated by 🇱🇧 🇸🇦 and the 🇺🇸 it's a beast! ImageImageImage
Designed like the 🇬🇧 WARRIOR to defeat the Soviet BMP family of vehicles and transport soldiers into battle with maximum protection.

It hands out 👊 with its 25mm BUSHMASTER (yummy) and when that isn't enough it has Anti-Tank Capabilty in the TOW Missile (& Stinger for 🚁...) Image
Making Infantry or Armoured Fighting Vehicles isn't easy.

A nice bit of satire in the Pentagon Wars video for your viewing pleasure.
