Pictured are Apache attack helicopters operated by 3 Regiment Army Air Corps during Exercise Talon Gravis. The personnel to the left of the helicopters are REME Armourers waiting to re supply the attack helicopters.
Army aviators have demonstrated the range and power of the punch their Apache attack helicopters can deliver.
Exercise Talon Gravis has seen 3 Regiment Army Air Corps (3 Regt AAC) launch formations of up to eight Apaches from their base at Wattisham Flying Station in Suffolk to find and strike targets on land and at sea more than 300 miles away.
Flying against simulated enemy air defences, missions have ranged from a daylight attack on shipping in the English Channel off Plymouth to hunting armoured vehicles on Salisbury Plain under the cover of darkness.
The Apaches were replenished at a Forward Arming and Refuelling Point (FARP) - the military equivalent of a Formula 1 pit stop – set up at Keevil airfield on Salisbury Plain.
3 Regt AAC’s role is to provide an aviation deep manoeuvre battlegroup – made up of attack, reconnaissance and transport helicopters - to 3rd (UK) Division, the British Army’s high readiness warfighting division.

I thought I heard something outside. When I went out, there was Miss Lily petaling away.
"I need" pant "to get rid of" pant "some extra" pant "weight" she gasped out.
I realize what I said above. Of course I meant pedal. But as it think about it, petal sort of fits Miss Lily.

I was distracted from my window-hunting walk when I spied this urban daredevil ski-jumper perched on the edge of the ramp leading up to the blue window-lined overpass. All of a sudden he jumped from the edge of the ramp onto a pile of snow below. I think I'll stick to photography for my exercise. (and I did manage to capture some windows, too!)
It is known that following Yugoslavia's Wars of Dissolution, the reformed Socialist Republic and the Union of Songun Republics began enriching their ties extensively. The cornerstone of that enhancement has allegedly been military and technological exchange mostly negotiated via backdoor deals that leave practically no paper trail. With that in mind, the precise aims of these negotiations is up in the air; however, given both the Union and Socialist Republic are at odds with the United States and its allies, it is believed that the two are colluding in an effort to force the US into a state of over-extension. Utilizing belligerent behavior and bellicose rhetoric, Yugoslavia and the Songun Republics have paved a way for future regional conflicts to occur in both Eastern Europe and East Asia. Indeed the nature of the Eastern European Wars and joint development of the M-525PL Rod/WS525 Long Dong ASM TELAR has demonstrated as much.
All of the above information gives context to this particular image, whose exact date is presently unknown. It is believed, however, that this photo was taken during Exercise Confident Fury, a combined-arms mission conducted in southeast Asia between the time of the two Eastern European Wars. From briefs issued by the CIA, it has been determined that Confident Fury was a large-scale operation that focused on using hybrid warfare to bog down a technologically superior force. In other words, the Songun Republics and Yugoslavia were imitating attacks against a foe awfully similar to the US.
A key component to resisting the initial wave of advanced foreign attackers involved the deployment of SRBMs to disrupt enemy beachheads and give Yugoslav/Songun armor and infantry a greater amount of time to set up defensive positions and track enemy movements aimed at pushing inland. Hence, in the image before us are two M-650s preparing for launch with an M-210 Rujevit SHORAD offering some anti-air overwatch. Both platforms--the SRBM TEL and SHORAD--are amphibious given they share a chassis, so their mobility is superb and therein allows both to conduct ambush operations with ease. This fact has disturbed many American and Western European analysts and for good reason.
In late 1943 Torcross was evacuated, along with many other villages in the South Hams area, to make way for 15,000 allied troops who needed the area to practice for the D-Day landings.
In the early hours of 28 April 1944 a tragic incident happened during Exercise Tiger: nine German torpedo boats (Schnellboote), alerted by heavy radio traffic, intercepted a three-mile-long convoy of vessels travelling from the Isle of Portland to Slapton Sands to undertake landing rehearsals for D Day. Two Tank landing ships (LST) were sunk in the engagement and 946 American servicemen died. Poor communications led to badly-timed shelling on the beach, killing about 300 more men. Over 1,000 lives were lost over the course of the operation, most of them through US Army friendly fire.
A Sherman amphibious tank and several plaques stand at Torcross car park between Slapton Ley and the beach as memorials to the men who lost their lives. The operation to salvage the tank from the shallow waters of Start Bay was financed by Ken Small, a Torcross hotelier, and was completed in 1984.
