𝐏𝐲𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐢𝐜 𝐌𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭 𝐀𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐬 and Forecast to 2033/Global Insight Services The global Pyrotechnic munitions market was valued at USD 3.7 billion in 2023 and it is anticipated to grow further up to USD 5.8 billion by 2033, at a CAGR of 4.6% during the forecast period. Pyrotechnic munitions are weapons that use explosives, fire, and other types of energy to cause damage. They are typically used in the military and law enforcement, but can also be used in civilian applications such as fireworks and certain types of weapons. Pyrotechnic munitions can include bombs, missiles, grenades, mines, and rockets.

December 7th, 1941 - today marks the 83rd Anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor. Here a few lessor known facts about that day: Americans Fired the First Shot Before the Pearl Harbor Attack: The destroyer USS Ward attacked and sank a Ko-hyoteki-class midget submarine near the entrance to the harbor, making it not only the first shot fired on that day, but the first official American shots in the War. The periscope was spotted above the water, which alerted the crew of the Ward, who opened fire. The wreckage was discovered in 2002 at the mouth of the harbor, 60 years later. The USS Arizona Still Leaks Fuel: December 6th, the day before, the USS Arizona took on a full load of fuel, almost 1.5 million gallons. The ship continues to spill up to 9 quarts of oil in the Harbor each day. This phenomenon is know as the "tears of Arizona" or "black tears". Veterans Can be Laid to Rest at Pearl Harbor: Crew members who served aboard the USS Arizona during the attack, may choose to have their ashes deposited by divers beneath one of the sunken Arizona's gun turrets. Roughly 44 Arizona survivors have chosen this option, the last person to be interred in the ship was in 2019. 30 days after the Pearl Harbor attack 134,000 Americans enlisted in the military. 🇱🇷 #veterans #elevatethestatusquo #aviation #MRO #NBAA #pilotlife #avgeek #businessaviation #aviationlovers #bizav #pilot

All Ωmega sniper rounds are made to the highest standards possible and efficiently matched to weapons systems to ensure all products are best in class with a superior ballistic coefficient and increased velocity to give snipers and sharpshooters a longer effective range and increased hit probability. As an example our 8.6 x 70mm (0.338”) AP and API are manufactured to the tightest tolerances available. The two sniper rounds have been designed to defeat lightly armoured vehicles and structures where high accuracy and penetration are required. The projectile has a copper jacket and tungsten carbide core with a pyrophoric component. The 8.6mm API will penetrate an RHA plate of 22mm (20-370 HB hardness) at 100m.

Graybeardisms - Back in the day - when Oilers were part of the MLSF (Mobile Logistics Support Force) manned by USN sailors, we would have stayed on mission and supported the Battle Force with our logistics package (JP-5) and other needed supplies! We would have found a way to "getter-dun" !! In 1979 our SD-based DE was transitting to Yoko with USS Cook and an NFAF tanker - because of ship-alts, that converted fuel storage tanks to CHT (sewage) we lost independent steaming days - therefore we could only go 5 days without needing to "hit" a gas station. We spent 24 hours at the IDL heading 000/180 instead of beating the ship up continuing to head 270. In a 1 minute period the CO Cook reported that he saw our sonar dome, screw, and rudder complete out of the water. Cook cracks a rib during her transit - - For the past 5 decades - LANTFLT - Centric war-games have "fiery-dusted" away the need for MSLF protection by sub-surface-air assets. What has happened to our Navy ??? - Vrckn It's not just me ... UPDATE 9/27/24 "One of the largest mistakes made over a generation ago was moving from USS to USNS, that is part of the fix. A big part of the fix though? Be an adult enough to hurt people’s feeling. Be a mature enough institution enough to say we got it wrong. Then get money. We need more auxiliaries. We need to bring back some auxiliaries, such as Destroyer Tenders. The post-Cold War B-school false horizons are no longer a vanity-indulgence we can afford to continue. Without adequate numbers—and redundancy—then you don’t have a blue water navy. You can have all the battle force destroyers and carriers you want, but if they cannot be replenished at sea, you have a coastal defense fleet. To quote The Other Sal again: we’ve been here before. Early in the Pacific War, USS Lexington was tasked to conduct a raid on Wake Island. At 2,500 miles, any strike required an oiler for fuel. USS Neches (AO-5) sortied from Hawaii to meet Lex but on 22 Jan 1942, Neches was torpedoed and sunk by Japanese submarine I-72. The raid was canceled and after this, no oiler sailed without escort, requiring the diversion of destroyers from other missions to protect the remaining oilers and to convoy vital tankers sailing from the US to replenish the Pearl Harbor fuel farm left untouched by the Japanese raid."
