Clearer film now of 2 of the 3🇷🇺BMP based losses at the Kazenyi Torets river pile-up in tweet 11.
3rd Batt, NGU 4th Operational Bde 'Rubizh' hit a BRM-1 675-sb3KDZ and a PRP-4 artillery recce vehicle variant.
Both rare and likely here used as APCs.

Quick recce in Cirencester’s glorious church of St John the Baptist, before my talk later. One of England’s finest ‘wool’ churches.

🗓️ #OTD in 1944 – COPP 8's Alec Colson (front, 📸 Colson family archive) and Freddie Ponsonby take part in Operation Deputy with men from 42 (RM) Commando. It's a 'recce in force' of Kyunthaya island off the coast of Burma (now Myanmar). #NavalHistory 🧵

Unknown to the Commandos, Peacock had been captured during the original recce, rather than drowning as feared, and was himself in Rangoon jail when this operation to search for him was carried out. He also survived the war as a POW. (📸 Australian War Memorial 3881237). /🧵

Just got my reward!
Ordered some council compost. First delivery date no good as we were away. We need bags lifted to top of steps, which means their Big Lorry
Rang today to see what's going on. They came round (after hours) to recce, so they've got a plan, don't need us to be in, all good!

The op is a follow-up a covert recce carried out late last month by the COPP team when Mike Peacock (right, 📸 Colson family archive) failed to return to his canoe.
Tonight is to search for him and 'snatch' a Japanese sentry from an observation post (OP) that Colson had found.

A few of the more exciting finds from a recce of Collyweston Great Wood NNR in preparation for a fungus walk I'm co-leading tomorrow. Exciting to find lots of Dog's Stinkhorn and Collared Earth-star while Gold-flecked Woodwax was new to me, growing close to several Solitary Amanita

'Seen better days'
On a recce trip to central London last week, I spotted this building on Museum Street, in the Bloomsbury area of Camden Borough. Surrounded by busy cafes and new development, it looked rather forlorn with it's ancient mini cab office. #Sharemondays2025 #London #streetphotography

Well fuck. A window recce reveals there is something majorly on fire in their garden. They have just bought the place and we had a mutual detestation with their predecessor. I don't have keys.

Force ‘C’ senior officer Thomas Troubridge had rejected this: “Alternative plan proposed by recce officer Koodoo in his report is not approved and my original intention to station two marking [submarines] some 15 miles offshore is being adhered to.” (🎧 TNA DEFE 2/588)

A fairly aggressive Brit patrol phase leaves the chung in their control, an excellent forming up point. Brit forces are a recce patrol consisting of a Gurkha plt, universal carriers and a MMG. The Japanese are deep in their bunkers waiting though… #spreadthelard #15mm #wargaming

The Brits manage to neutralise the MMG bunker with some well placed smoke as the recce and Gurkha section sneak up on a Japanese deployment point. Seems to be going well for the Brits…#spreadthelard

imo the role of like massed elite light infantry in LSCO (the smaller DA and recce stuff is different) is to take some kind of key objective or point that must be secured and probably get murdered in the process, but that's a very niche role at a high cost both in prep and the act of using
