Submarines: Air-Independent Propulsion
I wrote recently about Russia launching Kalibr missiles from its Varshavianka (Improved Kilo) class submarines in the Black Sea. That set me off to explore the latest submarine technology and Air-Independent Propulsion, although not new as such, is certainly leading the way in the non-nuclear fleets.

We are living in a computerized world. Nowadays, everything has become innovation based. Practically all fields are consolidated with innovations and that multitude of advances is en route to the limit. The biggest pressure that is going to hit logistics in 2023 will be a recession, inflation, labor shortages, and fuel price. As interest tends to increase there is a chance to see pressure on capital expenditure in this field. Technology is changing the future of logistics by increasing productivity in the supply chain and reducing costs and errors. Similarly, there are numerous benefits and innovation improvements occurring in cargo-sending ventures as well. Man-made brainpower, AI, and the Web of things are assuming the main part of each innovation overhaul. They impact a ton of enhancements in planned operations ventures. Allow us to examine some of them individually.

How will Ukraine retaking Crimea devastate Russia?
Russia and Ukraine's conflict goes back decades before February 24, 2022. Russian aggressiveness has remained consistent since Vladimir Putin took office in the late 1990s. The current war, however, began with the unlawful annexation of Crimea in 2014. The insane aspect is that NATO and the rest of the world sat back and watched as Russian soldiers seized Crimea in a manner remarkably similar to how Nazi Germany grabbed Austria, Czechoslovakia, and the Rhineland before launching its assault of Poland and beginning World War II. π£ββ

For a long time now, drivers in the UK have been able to take advantage of a lenient approach to speeding by police forces. In 2021, 24 out of 45 police services confirmed that they had at least a 10% tolerance for speed cameras, usually plus 2 (Lancashire and the Metropolitan police work at plus 3). The argument for this has typically been that it stops drivers from keeping their eye on the speedometer, and keeps their focus on the road in front of them. But with most cars now being fitted with an optional speed limiter, and government plans to introduce mandatory speed limiters in vehicles, is a 10% tolerance justifiable any longer?
