The production base for munitions in Russia and Belarus relies on equipment made by the Italian company Camozzi Camozzi Group is an international Italian industrial group producing pneumatic components and equipment, pneumatic systems and automation. The company operates in 78 countries, including Russia.

Defying sanctions, this Italian company is now working to prop up Putin's war machine.

This week's video was a chilling reminder for me of how the past can inform our present and future.

Coastal Command feels like a very untold aspect of Britain's war effort. Any reading suggestions gratefully received!

On this day in 1956 at 3:27 p.m., local time, a Mk.1 Atom Bomb, Blue Danube, detonated at 490 feet (150 meters) over the Kite Site on the Maralinga Test Range, South Australia. The bomb had been dropped from an RAF Vickers Valiant B.1 bomber, WZ366, flying at 30,000 feet (9,144 meters).

Did it fulfill any of these roles effectively? To do so many things may mean that it does none of them very well? Interested in people's thoughts on this! @hushkit.bsky.social ??

The ideal start to my shift at www.museum.manchester.ac.uk

Don’t miss our new exhibition #Triceratops. Eat, Roam, Repeat.

Can anyone assist with identifying the weapon system in front of this Victor and what is happening to it?

Always wondered about the positioning of the hatch. Assuming there wasn't another way out. the positiong surely makes it possible that crew would get ingested into the engine on their way out?
