This day in history 162 years ago Green Mountain Boys held back the Confederate high water mark at Gettysburg repulsing Pickett's Charge. What started out as 12,500 Confederates would be destroyed by Vermonter's, at the end of the charge 1,123 confederates were killed 4,019 wounded 3,750 captured.

“Glory to God! Glory to God! See the Vermonters go at it!” The 2nd Vermont Brigade, in helping to defeat Pickett’s Charge, performs one of the most complex and heroic efforts on a battlefield filled with courageous actions. These Vermonters were 9 month men meaning they signed up for only 9 months of duty. Posted in support roles until this fateful day at Gettysburg, they have seen no combat, and their enlistment is up in just a couple of weeks. Posted directly in front of Pickett’s Division (due west of their position on Cemetery Ridge), once they get close enough, the Vermonters poured in volley after volley, until, to their surprise, the Virginians move north by the flank. This is part of the Confederate plan, to concentrate forces near the Copse of Trees. The Vermonters do not know this, believing they have defeated the Confederate foe. The Confederate move north has cleared the Vermont front the flank of Pickett’s Division is now exposed. The Vermonters take a bold action they move out, perpendicular to Cemetery Ridge, to assault Pickett’s men on their flank. “Change front forward, by first Company! Forward! Half wheel, March!” The Vermonters execute this complex parade ground maneuver flawlessly. Now perpendicular to Cemetery Ridge, a blue wall reaching far out from the main Federal line, and at “half pistol range” of the densely packed Confederates, the Vermonters pour in volley after volley into the exposed and mostly unprotected flank of Pickett’s Division every shot seeming to deal death and destruction. The slaughter is tremendous. At one point Colonel Randall, Commander of the 13th Vermont, screams over the din of combat for the Confederates to just drop their arms and lie down. A Vermont Private: “Sir, you are treating them better than us!” Randall: “Their work is done but our isn’t!” As the attack culminates, Col Randall, unable to shout “cease fire!” loud enough, actually steps in front of his own men, to get them to stop firing. The Confederate Forces sent to protect Pickett’s flank, Alabamians and Floridians, have stepped off too late, out of sight in a low spot in the terrain. Approaching Cemetery Ridge south of their position, the Vermonters about face, move south and perform the same flank attack on these hapless soldiers, to devastating effect. These 9 month men, days from the end of their enlistment, in their first battle, have performed actions the envy of any seasoned Regiment. They do great damage to Pickett’s Charge, taking many prisoners, but have suffered greatly in the endeavor. “Glory to God! Glory to God! See the Vermonters go at it!” General Abner Doubleday on witnessing the Vermonters that day at Gettysburg. Painting by Michael J. Middleton

"Men of Vermont: The troops from your state have done nobly and well on the battlefields of this war. The praises of the old Vermont brigade are on every lip. We expect you to sustain the honor of your state. Today will decide whether Jefferson Davis or Abraham Lincoln rules this country. Your Colonel is about to lead you into battle where you will have hard fighting and much will be expected of you.”
- General Doubleday

General Pickett started his charge with around 12,500 men across 11 Brigades supported by 170 cannons the largest artillery bombardment in North America spread out over a mile within the course of an hour he would suffer
1,123 KIA
4,019 WIA
3,750 POW

Out of the 42 Confederate Battle Flags between 31 and 38 would be captured by the Union

Out of the around 5,000 soldiers that made it back to the Confederate rear from Pickett's charge only 800 reported for duty on July 4th the rest had deserted overnight

"With the enemy on the run, Alexander Hays took a flag and… immediately dropped his flag behind his horse and trailed it in the dust and blood of the battlefield… To General Hays and the men of his division these captured flags were but the emblems of disunion. He and the men under him could conceive no better fate than to trample them under foot and trail them in the dust as evidence of utter disdain, both for the flags and themselves for the cause they represented..."

-Captain David Shields, July 1863

I normally don't share Lord bebo content, but he posted something that I do like to talk about which is trains and my God. It's been quite a long time since we've seen an actual Russian armor train running around Ukraine, let alone near the front lines. The Russian armored train is back and it is operational in the Pokrovsk Sector to ensure Russian Military Freight gets delivered as close as possible to the Front. Without precise geolocation throwing a dart at the wall its likely near Kurakhove which is a single track track line to Donetsk unlike the line to Ocheretyne which is double track.

Zaamurets died 1931
Zaamurets reborn 2025

This specific armoured train is the Yenisei under the Central Military District.

The Yenisei train is currently made up

1) Leading flatbed platform wagon with ZU-23-2 and armoured box for crew with 4x gun slits

2) Flatbed platform wagon with BMP-2 infantry fighting vehicle with camo netting and cope cage

3) CHME3-type locomotive

4) Standard Box Car to carry supplies, crew and to act as a gun car.

5) Flatbed Platform Car with another vehicle mounted with camo netting

6) Standard Box car to carry supplies, crew and to act as a gun car.

7) Second CHME3-type locomotive

8) Flatbed platform wagon with BMP-2 infantry fighting vehicle with camo netting and cope cage

9) Flatbed platform wagon with ZU-23-2 and armoured box for crew with 4x gun slits

Likely Cause Identified in "Ships on Fire" Reports in Gulf of Oman/Strait of Hormuz.

Date/Time: June 17, 2025, approximately 2114 UTC
Location: ~22 NM east of Khor Fakkan Incident Type: Likely head-to-port-side collision between two large tankers

FRONT EAGLE was transiting on a steady southwesterly course, maintaining a relatively constant heading and speed consistent with normal navigation. ADALYNN was on an east by northeast course, intersecting FRONT EAGLE’s path from the latter’s port side, consistent with a classic crossing situation.

Based on AIS vectors as posted by @Osinttechnical ADALYNN appears to have crossed directly into the projected path of FRONT EAGLE, resulting in a high probability collision at or near ADALYNN’s port midships section.

Given the mass and inertia of large tankers, evasive maneuvers in the final moments would have been limited, particularly if conducted at standard transit speeds.

The fire image timestamped at 2119 UTC (five minutes after estimated collision time) supports the hypothesis of immediate structural or systems damage, most likely aboard ADALYNN which would have sustained the bulk of the damages. FIRMS thermal at 2140 UTC further validates likely ongoing combustion, likely associated with residual fuel, engine room, or cargo related ignition.

Video time lapse of the two ships.

Alot of unknowns like what role did Iranian GPS spoofing play for example and what communications if any occurred between the two ships to try and avoid the collision.

Right now appears unlikely this was an attack by Missiles or Drones nor likely to be the result of sea mines.

This is the first time Ukraine targeted a Russian military freight train carrying equipment. This one strike took out 13 tanks and 100 vehicles. It is beautiful.

This single strike took out the equipment for 1 Tank Company and 3 Motor Rifle Battalions.

Tally of lost Russian assets from attacks on Russian Military Fuel And freight trains

13x Tanks
100x Vehicles
1,430,000~ Gallons of fuel.

The attack likely on the Donetsk-Tokmak Line likely west of Volnovakha we will have to wait and see whatever footage gets released.

Southern Forces of Ukraine posted Russian equipment losses from this train attack which includes the following.

1x Railway Locomotive
13x Tanks
7x Artillery systems
103x units of automotive and armored equipment

Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) has initiated what they are calling Operation Pavutyna

Goal of this operation: Degrading Russia’s long-range strike capabilities.

Olenya and Belaya airfields specifically targeted with swarms of FPV drones remotely launched from vehicles positioned near the airfields. These mobile platforms were reportedly parked within proximity of the targets, enabling direct line-of-sight control for precise navigation and terminal attack.

Early claims to have damaged or destroyed over 40 aircraft, including Tu-95 and Tu-22M3 bombers, as well as at least one A-50

That's over a billion dollars worth of military hardware.

So far the videos show at least
3x TU-95 and 1x AN-12 ablaze.

Third Airbase at Ryazan now under attack from same fov drone swarm.
