Please watch and consider that Russia is proudly targeting and murdering Ukrainian children, and that there are real people operating these drones. That they have commanders all the way up to Putin authorizing this terror campaign.
Received this parcel from @penswordbooks and am delighted my book The Home Front 1939-1945 In 100 Objects is reprinted in paperback! The result of 40 years' research & collecting, it's ideal for students, historians, collectors & readers of all ages. Available online & bookshops.

Very sad indeed to hear the news of Stephen Bungay’s passing. His work on the Battle of Britain was remarkable.

Really impressive video of a Shahed being shot down by an F-16 fighter jet from the 107th Aviation Wing of the Ukrainian Air Force.
The interception was carried out using the aircraft’s M61A1 Vulcan onboard rotary cannon.

Russia presented its human-like AI robot. It fell down as it walked onto the stage.
Not good news for #historians, #writers and #journalists apparently... even worse news for the public because #AI can only scalp off online already published sources - good #History is from unpublished sources. Nor can AI interpret.
