    Red Arrows (Red Arrows) fly over the Royal Navy destroyer Diamond (Diamond) as it passes Cyprus.

    The British sent a serious boat to guard the recently discovered near-hydrocarbon deposits of useful hydrocarbons, so that the Turks would not give a damn.

      The British in Cyprus have their own territory and a military base on it. So they are in Cyprus on an ongoing basis.

            The British sent a serious boat to protect the recently discovered deposits of useful hydrocarbons near Cyprus.
            The ship participated in the operation to destroy the Syrian chemical weapons, and the pilots underwent planned training at the English base of the island of Cyprus. So, it coincided and they decided to capture this moment.

          The Faroe Islands, in fact, are autonomy within Denmark (like Greenland).

      Well ..... Herr-Professor prompted one more time to "choke" and spit:
      Under photo No. 7 how to perceive the text ???
      Specialist Christopher Nolen-Dunigans, tracking radar- Is it his nickname, call sign or sexual orientation?
      4th Brigade Logistics Support Battalion, 1st Stryker Combat Brigade Unit, 4th Infantry Division-Is this supposedly "construction battalion" preparing for the launch of an ICBM?
      4th Panzer Brigade Tactical Group 1st Panzer Division provide security with the M109A6 Paladin to reconnaissance patrol- "Go to the wind" according to ours is to relieve themselves.
      Repeatedly "belittling" the "HerrProfessor" to be guided in their "creations" in an understandable logical language came acrossCalmly, without nerves. This is a literal translation. - Approx. trans.(note under photo No. 9)
      MASTERPIECE !!!!
      Goblin (Puchkov D.Yu.) hiccups, sneezes and endlessly often changes the burnt-out chairs under him from such "verbal-literal translations".

      Regarding photo # 7: It should have been written "from 50 caliber M2A1 machine guns", or maybe they were shooting from XM806 (LW50MG) ???

          Let me clarify:
          "4th Brigade Support Battalion" correctly translate how "support battalion of the 4th brigade".
          In the sense of combat (fire) support, not related to the rear (which is "Rear Support") and "carts" ("Support & Supply").
          I would also translate the title to the photo as "Time since Ma deucewell spent ". Although, this is an unimportant stylistic disagreement.
          And to the Professor - plus in any way. At least for the efforts.

    I was on this Constitution frigate.
    They searched, checked cleaner than at international airports.
    And then he visited the destroyer of the 50s, which stood nearby.
    No checks - go through ...
    Then I realized that this sailboat among the Americans is listed in the Navy,
    and the destroyer is a museum exhibit ... laughing
