Carnage At Hlaing Tharyar Hospital By Dr. Soe Min

           (Translated post from Dr. Soe Min’s FACEBOOK on 15 March 2021)

Yesterday, 14 March 2021, despite all the road blocks all over the city, I managed to reach the burning city Hlaing Tharyar.

I tried to call, failed miserably of course, the phone-numbers of medical facilities in the area. So I went direct to the Hlaing Tharyar Hospital and asked if I could help, of course after introducing myself as a surgeon, and they sent me direct to the emergency surgery.  

There was one wounded patient inside and another one waiting just outside the surgery to enter, and I didn’t even know how many wounded were waiting downstairs.  Right away I started operating on the one already inside. Then another one. One after another.

At just after 7 pm I finished fixing a wounded patient with large open wound on belly and mutilated insides. I could still hear the gunshots from right outside the hospital. 

Famed HIMARS Rocket-Artillery For Australia!

     (Staff article from the AUSTRALIAN DEFENCE MAGAZINE on 04 October 2022.)

The US High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) has proved one of the standout weapons of the Ukraine conflict, delivering devastating precision fires on Russian positions, including munitions depots and command posts.

Australia is set to acquire HIMARS, maybe 20 launchers, though the government has yet to give the official go-ahead. With the growing desire for greater self-sufficiency, Australia may also seek to manufacture HIMARS missiles.

James Heading, Lockheed Martin Australia director of programs, strategic capabilities office for missiles and fire control, said  there was active consideration around production of the missiles themselves, though not the launch vehicle.
