The reason for two jabs. It’s not the same reason for jabbing pups twice.

Not to mention one of the leading covid vaccines is a single shot vaccines.

No it’s not. Puppies are only jabbed twice to ensure one is after the mother’s temporary immunity has worn off which happens some time between 3-10 weeks. If you dare wait, then you only need jab once at ten weeks. Only lepto needs a booster two weeks after.

Man I've missed GoT! Might start paying attention to politics ha.

I don't know what to make of Cummings but after reading Johnny Mercer's views after all the drama he went through as Veterans Minister I'm more suspicious of those around Bozza than the man himself....

Thank god for my honourary star fleet commission!

Also, I'm not sure but I seem to recall that the commandos weren't allowed in the vanguard of the Normandy invasion due to some sort of traditional resistance to this new type of soldier, so I don't think the piper would have been mooching about scenes from Saving Private Ryan. Might be wrong....

I know a lad who was raised on such stories and inspired him to join Zulu Company RMs. Myself, reading first hand accounts in the history books of them doning their green berets so the enemy knew exactly who they were facing and screaming "zulu zulu zulu" as the charged. Legendary stuff.

Sounds like Lord Lovat....

During WWI 17% of officers were killed compared with 12% of enlisted ranks. There's probably some disparity when you climb the officer ranks though, junior officers taking the biggest risks but equally being most expendable.

Id be interested to hear other peoples opinions but I get the impression we’re at a tipping point where no one is quite brave enough to say outright that tanks are obsolete. It’s probably the smartest move to retain a minimum force at the moment. Ive looked for the proponents of heavy armour and their arguments just seem thin. Main ones being the political clout having heavy armour gives and the other being that tanks give enduring firepower to infantry on the battlefield whereas Air support is usually temporary. I just think that will no longer be true with drones that can loiter an

Anyway, about the OP, I thought this was a cool image. Rockets on the right, interceptors on the left. I read over 3000 rockets have been fired with over 90% of those that posed a threat intercepted. With the proliferation of cheap suicide drones and even cruise missiles things could really step up in future confrontations.

Interesting speech, at Oxford no less.

Probably wrong yes. We’ve still got overseas territories in the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans as well as the Caribbean and the Med’.

I don’t really care to get involved in the Arab/Jew hating shit but to say that Israel are only capable of killing civies is a bit ignorant of history. IIRC the first Israel Lebanon war was the most significant air war of the modern jet fighter era and was such a decisive Israeli victory the soviets had to send a team to investigate why their kit was so utterly dominated by western kit. There’s heaps of examples of Israel hitting regional military peers.

A couple of personal stalking firsts...
Born Hunter replied to Born Hunter's topic in Deer Stalking & Management
They are. But I'd buy one from an EU country given you're in one. Buying from the UK you're paying two lots of duty effectively. -

Glad to hear it mate. It’d have been perfect for the goat hunting you used to do. -

Vorn Lynx mate. When you were asking about rifle slings a while back I think I suggested one to you. One of my most highly rated bits of kit. Rifle securely held on my back and when I need it a quick release has it loose and in my hands in about two seconds flat. I'll shoot prone or seated with it as a rest too as the frame built into it is rigid enough. -
Thermal scope, anyone tried one?
Born Hunter replied to Tyla's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
I've had similar experience with other quarry and livestock and heard tales of the same. Either shots wouldn't have been taken because of thermal or worse, shots would have. Thermal NV combo certainly has benefits. -
You mean to say you don't turn up to a 200 bird day in an RR, tweed clad and sporting a mossy 500 drainpipe?

a huge rabbit problem, looming New Zealand .

If you’re a license holder in the uk then you can get a temporary license over there easily. If anyone was serious about the job then I’d be taking NV with me and buying a cheap semi auto rim fire. It’d be absolute murder and the easiest and most profitable way of going about it. The logistics of getting animals in would be a nightmare for a temporary thing. In fact, f**k it, just take your own guns if you were to be a license holder and enjoy everything out there.
