Pictured is a soldier from 2nd Battalion, The Parachute Regiment, on the streets of West London with an armed member of the Metropolitan Police as part of Op TEMPERER, providing security and reassuring the public.
Operation TEMPERER – the mobilisation plan for military support to the police service in response to a major terrorist attack.
It is an established security plan by the Government which aims to help protect civilians at times of high terror threat when the official national threat level is raised to critical...Military personnel are deployed alongside the police at nominated sites to provide additional protective security. . .They backfilled existing armed guarding roles filled by armed police units, thereby releasing armed police officers to support the wider incident response...During this deployment, soldiers were working under police command and replaced or supplemented armed police officers to guard major sites such as rail stations, Parliament, embassies and Buckingham Palace.

My main pic for my lil micro scene, which I'm using as an entry for the Micro Sci-Fi Contest at Eurobricks.
Overview: These sea-borne bases were built over vast oceans as reinforcement hubs for any imminent invasion. They house everything an army needs for a successful invasion from hordes of tanks to giant mechs.
couldnt believe my luck with giving my camera to the boom. This was taken with my handheld Canon SD1000. What an amazing effect!
It was close to sunset and we passed about 60,000lbs to this Bone who went off to hunt in the mountains. He passed by us after getting gas and descended into the mountains...I wish I had my camera up front at the time! This shot more than makes up for it though.
The fifth USS Independence (CV-62) was an 80,000-ton (full load) conventionally-powered Forrestal-class aircraft carrier and is seen here in the Eastern Mediterranean in the summer of 1982, en route to waters near Beirut where the US Sixth Fleet supported US Marines ashore facilitating the evacuation of the Palestine Liberation Organisation following their defeat by Israel.
Launched at New York Navy Yard on 6 June 1958 and commissioned 10 January 1959, she was 326m in length with a beam of 82.3m and a draught of 11.3m. She was powered by eight Babcock & Wilcox boilers that provided 280,000 shp via four Westinghouse geared turbines to four shafts. These gave her a top speed of 34 kt.
The twin-rotor helicopter near her stern is not part of the carrier's air group. It is one of two CH-46 Sea Knights based aboard the USS Mount Baker (AE-34), from which I took this photo. Time has dimmed my memories and I cannot explain why the helo was on the deck - we normally only conducted VERTREPs with the carriers.
The large ship's number painted on the funnel is somewhat obscured by other paint jobs for some reason. See www.flickr.com/photos/67307569@N00/4890073871 for another view, from wider on the beam where the mess is clearer than above.

The 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division stationed at Fort Hood, Texas, is deploying to Europe. At least four trains have transported the division through Columbia, SC to the port at Charleston, SC for deployment overseas. Here, a long train mostly consisting of M-1 Abrams and M-2 Bradleys waits at the Amtrak Station in Columbia, SC for traffic to clear.
White-tailed eagle making a pass at some carrion. The eagles are fed daily throughout the winter at this site in Białowieża Forest. This not only helps the several pairs in the area get through the winter and increases the chances of them breeding the following year, but also means that they are regular visitors to the hide. We followed strict precautions to ensure they were not disturbed, entering the hide before sunrise and leaving after sunset when the eagles had left to roost.
PACIFIC OCEAN (Aug. 5, 2021) Sailors and Marines aboard the forward-deployed amphibious assault ship USS America (LHA 6) conduct a vertical replenishment with an MH-60S Seahawk helicopter during a replenishment-at-sea with the dry cargo and ammunition ship USNS Matthew Perry (T-AKE 9). America, flagship of the America Expeditionary Strike Group, along with the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, is operating in the U.S. 7th Fleet area of responsibility to enhance interoperability with allies and partners and serve as a ready response force to defend peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region.

It's springtime and the deployed primary mirror of NASA's James Webb Space Telescope looks like a spring flower in full bloom.
In this photo, NASA technicians lifted the telescope using a crane and moved it inside a clean room at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. Once launched into space, the Webb telescope’s 18-segmented gold mirror is specially designed to capture infrared light from the first galaxies that formed in the early Universe, and will help the telescope peer inside dust clouds where stars and planetary systems are forming today.
The James Webb Space Telescope is the scientific successor to NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. It will be the most powerful space telescope ever built. Webb is an international project led by NASA with its partners, ESA (European Space Agency) and the Canadian Space Agency.

Mark travaille dans le sas du module japonais Kibo, utilisé entre autre pour déployer des nano-satellites depuis la Station. La station spatiale internationale est aussi… un centre de lancement de vaisseaux spatiaux ! OK uniquement pour des nano-satellites (qu’on appelle aussi souvent cubesats, d’une taille entre un Rubik’s cube et une boîte à chaussures, mais remplis de technologie). Le processus est assez sympa : les astronautes installent les cubesats dans un lanceur (à ressort !), lui-même monté sur une table coulissante qui fait partie intégrante du sas du module-laboratoire Japonais. Sur ces photos vous voyez Mark et Aki préparer des nanosats et le sas. Pour les lancements, on ferme l’écoutille de l’intérieur, puis l’écoutille externe s’ouvre et le déployeur glisse vers l’extérieur. Le bras robotique récupère le déployeur, il vise (il ne s’agirait pas que les cubesats deviennent des projectiles dangereux pour nous après une orbite ou deux) et finalement il propulse les cubesats dans l’espace ! Aki était ce jour-là chargé de filmer la scène depuis notre poste d’observation habituel, la Cupola. Ces satellites sont formés à partir de cubes de 10 cm de côté (pour la compatibilité avec le lanceur) mais ils sont modulables, c’est à dire qu’on peut combiner 2, 6 ou pourquoi pas 12 unités pour en former des un peu plus volumineux et complexes – tout de même très petits par rapport à un satellite conventionnel. Mais grâce à la miniaturisation des technologies, leurs capacités sont impressionnantes. Les deux derniers nanosats lancés depuis l’ISS ont réalisé pour l’un des essais d’aérodynamisme en orbite basse pour l’université de Manchester, et pour l’autre surveillé des feux de forêt, pour la Robertsville Middle School. Et ce n’est pas le moins important : cette approche utilise l’ISS pour rendre l’espace accessible aux universités, aux petites entreprises ou même aux nations qui n’ont pas traditionnellement les moyens d’envoyer leur technologie en orbite !
Mark working with the airlock in Japan's Kibo module, used amongst other things to deploy miniature satellites from the Space Station! The International Space Station is also a spacecraft launch centre! Small nano-sats (also called cubesats because of their shape, you would have guessed) can be placed with a launching device inside this mini-airlock in JAXA's Kibo lab. Mark and Aki prepared the satellites and worked on the airlock. We close the hatch on the inside, the outer hatch opens and the a launcher slides out. The Japanese robotic arm collects the launcher, aims and springs shoot the cubesats off into space! Aki took videos and pictures from Cupola of the new satellites on their way. They are only variations of cubes 10x10x10 cm so they are not easy to spot in the last picture, but with technology miniaturisation even these little satellites can do very interesting things! Two satellites were launched, one led by the University of Manchester, and the other by Robertsville Middle School, the first will test aerodynamics in low Earth orbit, and the former monitor forest fires. I love how such a device can allow access to space to some smaller companies or universities or countries that can’t traditionally afford the costs of spaceflight.

While The Revenant was primarily utilised for covert solo operations such as infiltration and assassination, it was not uncommon for her to also lead troops in direct battlefield engagements.
Her situational awareness and tactical acumen made her a lethal component in any group of Cerberus shock troopers - and she showed a ruthless and merciless streak in battle.
Very few enemies who encountered squads led by The Revenant lived to tell the tale, and it wasn't long before she became something of a battlefield urban legend

Békés county is one of the few areas in the country where the six-axled Soviet locos are on regular duty: Rail Cargo can deploy a Class 2068 on shorter mixed-trains and longer empty stocks, occasionally one Class 2016.
But they still don't have enough Class 285s to cover heavier stuff: the Békéscsaba – Orosháza sand/limestone runs (and scrap the other way) still get their traction rented from MÁV-START, most often in the form of Szeged's Classic Sergeis, deployed from Békéscsaba.
Another seasonal example is the stone runs to Szarvas. In recent years this service was run by other operators, but this year RCH is handling the 25-car-long, ~2000-ton trains. Departing from Tatabánya, these trains reach Mezőtúr via electric mainline connections with ÖBB Siemens loks, from where a Class M62 takes over.
The stone is transferred to semi trucks to reach Swietelsky's asphalt-mixing plant, about 300 meters from the station. In this image, this very process is visible on a sunny spring afternoon, as one of the three trucks is just leaving fully loaded to the plant, while the driver of M62 109 is disembarking to decouple the cars.

“A 70mm handheld camera was used by the STS-46 crewmembers to capture closeup view of early operations with the Tethered Satellite System (TSS). The sphere can be seen moving away from the ring structure on the boom device in Atlantis’ cargo bay.”
From the STS-46 press kit:
“An exciting new capability for probing the space environment and conducting experiments will be demonstrated for the first time when the NASA/Italian Space Agency Tethered Satellite System (TSS-1) is deployed during the STS-46 Space Shuttle flight. The reusable Tethered Satellite System is made up of a
satellite attached to the Shuttle orbiter by a super strong cord which will be reeled into space from the Shuttle's cargo bay. When the satellite on its cord, or tether, is deployed to about 12 miles above the orbiter, TSS-1 will be the longest structure ever flown in space.
Operating the tethered system is a bit like trolling for fish in a lake or the ocean. But the potential "catch" is valuable data that may yield scientific insights from the vast sea of space. For the TSS-1 mission, the tether -- which looks like a 12-mile-long white bootlace -- will have electrically-conducting metal strands in its core. The conducting tether will generate electrical currents at a high voltage by the same basic principle as a standard electrical generator -- by converting mechanical energy (the Shuttle's more than 17,000-mile-an hour orbital motion) into electrical energy by passing a conductor through a magnetic field (the Earth's magnetic field lines).
TSS-1 scientific instruments, mounted in the Shuttle cargo bay, the middeck and on the satellite, will allow scientists to examine the electrodynamics of the conducting tether system, as well as clarify their understanding of physical processes in the ionized plasma of the near-Earth space environment.
Once the investigations are concluded, it is planned to reel the satellite back into the cargo bay and stow it until after the Shuttle lands.
The TSS-1 mission will be the first step toward several potential future uses for tethers in space now being evaluated by scientists and engineers. One possible application is using long conducting tethers to generate electrical power for Space Station Freedom or other orbiting bodies. Conversely, by expending electrical power to reverse the current flow into a tether, the system can be placed in an "electric motor" mode to generate thrust for orbit maintenance. Tethers also may be used to raise or lower spacecraft orbits. This could be achieved by releasing a tethered body from a primary spacecraft, thereby transferring momentum (and imparting motion) to the spacecraft. Another potential application is the creation of artificial gravity by rotating two or more masses on a tether, much like a set of bolas.
Downward deployment (toward Earth) could place a satellite in regions of the atmosphere that have been difficult to study because they lie above the range of high-altitude balloons and below the minimum altitude of free-flying satellites. Deploying a tethered satellite downward from the Shuttle also could make possible aerodynamic and wind tunnel type testing in the region 50 to 75 nautical miles above the Earth.”

Reality:
“TSS deployment was also delayed one day because of EURECA. During TSS deployment, the satellite reached a maximum distance of only 840 feet (256 meters) from orbiter instead of planned 12.5 miles (20 kilometers) because of a jammed tether line. After numerous attempts over several days to free the tether, TSS operations were curtailed and satellite was stowed for return to Earth.”
