 The black sheep usually doesn't follow the crowd because every once in a while, the crowd is literally going the wrong way in mass   The black sheep usually doesn't follow the crowd because every once in a while, the crowd is literally going the wrong way in mass  It takes a black sheep to stand out and say, 'Hey, I think we're headed off a cliff here!' They may be labeled as outcasts or rebels, but in reality, they're the ones who are brave enough to challenge the status quo and forge their own path. Let's celebrate the black sheep in our lives - the ones who inspire us to think differently, to question the norms, and to embrace our individuality.

Are tanks obsolete after the development of anti-tank weapons?

Are tanks obsolete after the development of anti-tank weapons?

No. A new technology doesn’t change the tactics all that much. Matchlocks were introduced to Japan in 1543.

In about 50 years, Japan used matchlocks extensively. But matchlocks were new to Koreans. So in 1592 Japan invaded Korea with over 150,000 men, against 80,000 Korean soldiers. Did Samurais not use obsolete swords? No, they still used Katanas plenty of times.

Did Japan win with matchlocks? No. One clever Korean admiral invented an ancient ironclad called turtle ship (obviously).

Cutting off the sea lane from Japan made things difficult for the Japanese Army in Korea. Plus, the Ming dynasty sent 40,000 soldiers from the north to increase the odds (still 150,000 Japanese against 120,000). It wasn’t several ironclads that he had under his command. It was the tactics that won many naval engagements.

Ironclads did not prevent other obsolete ships from sailing. They still used other ships for hundreds of years after that.

Open top made it easier to use bows.

A British commando, Jack Churchill, used a longbow to down a German during WWII, because it was quiet. He also carried a sword (far right below).

Fast forwarding to the 21st century, with all the technological advancements, do we not use sharp pointy things? (It’s no longer a mandatory training since 2010, but that does not mean nobody is trained to use a bayonet.)

A new technology like Javelin gives a lot of power to one soldier.

Just like Panzerfaust had during WWII. Germany made over 8 million of these. That did not change warfare as much as we think it would have. If enemy infantry stops these guys, they cannot use them.

Armored vehicles must be protected by the infantry. A bunker or a hard point that infantry cannot clear, armored vehicles would eliminate, same as 1944. Infantry and armor having to work together hasn’t changed.

It was the poor Russian tactics in Ukraine that made it AT missiles stand out. All these areas should have been cleared out by the infantry before armored vehicles roll in. If they did that, we probably don’t think so highly of Javelins (as effective as they are).

Clifford Hoyt, 31, suffered serious injuries in a car accident in 1999. After he regained consciousness, he told a terrified nurse that he had died and visited hell.

See how topless woman was killed after hanging out of car window (Photos/Video) A Russian woman has died in the Dominican Republic after a car accident which involved her hanging out of the window on the passenger side while the driver recorded her on a mobile phone.  Natalia Borodina, 35, from Moscow, had taken her bikini off and was playing up to the camera, hauling her top half out of the car window while a friend was driving. The shocking video sees the mother-of-one letting her upper body hang out of the window of the moving car, before she hits a lamp post. The video was recorded on a highway near Punta Cana, in the Dominican Republic. It was filmed by Ms Borodina’s friend Ivanna Boirachuk, 32, who is believed to have been driving the car.  Ms Borodina is naked, bar a pair of bikini bottoms, when she decides to hang out of the window.
