Invincible – Spress

A stateless maritime nation, living in an “invincible sea view room” for the world, without a job but living as it pleases

During these years of travel, I have been to many countries and regions in the world, and I have seen a variety of different cultures, their own beautiful lifestyles, and their own unique cultural customs. Among them, the most unforgettable ones are those people who were born to wander and wander, such as the nomads who gallop across the sky and the vast grasslands, and the “sea gypsies” who live by the sea and survive in desperate situations. . However, with the continuous development and progress of human civilization, the pure “sea gypsies” are gradually disappearing. The only remaining maritime tribe in the world is the Bajau (Bajau) living in the waters between the Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia. For hundreds of years, they have lived on the sea for generations, living by the sea, and rarely set foot on the land. They are known as the last marine nomads in the world. In the waters of Semporna in Sabah, Malaysia, it is one of the main settlements of the Bayao tribe. During my last trip to Sabah, I deliberately chartered a boat to go deep into their “territory”. The floating village near a small island near Semporna witnessed the daily life of these sea nomads, which was eye-opening. . The ancestors of the Bayao people were exiled for various historical reasons and were permanently forbidden to set foot on land. In order to survive, they stubbornly chose to parasitize in the vast ocean and live in the sea around the unknown island. Resting in the harsh environment, living a vagrant life isolated from the world, full of legend and mystery. I, who likes to take humanistic photos, did not hesitate to set foot on the boat to explore the Bayao tribe. Not only are the Bayao people unable to set foot on land, but they are also born without a nationality, status, job, and cannot integrate into the mainstream life of the world. Therefore, one can only continue the generations in the sea, recuperate and live a life of seclusion that is incompatible with the outside world. The Bayao people live in the sea. They have built houses on coral reefs since ancient times. They live in simple and dilapidated buildings on the water. They take the sea as their home and fish for a living. There is no calendar in their lives, and they don’t care about the seasons and festivals. Without time, there are only endless days and nights in the sea world of the Bayao people year after year, day after day. This shallow sea area where the Bayao people live is a 40-minute boat ride from the land of Semporna. They are far away from the world, free, without desire and desire, and lead a carefree life. The sense of happiness is not more than what they can have. “Land people” are low, living in a 360-degree “sea view room” in this blue sky and blue sea, and live out another realm of life that modern people cannot understand. Coming to Semporna, visiting the Bayao people and seeing the living conditions of these “sea gypsies” up close has become an experience project of local tourism and is very popular among tourists. And coming to this forgotten corner of the world gives people two extreme shocks: extremely beautiful and extremely poor. Far away from modern civilization, there are no fireworks in the world, with impeccable original ecological natural environment, jewel-like clear and translucent water, stilt dwellings, men and women of all ages, and children in their own wooden boats shuttle on the sea, a pure and heavenly picture The picture scrolls into view, forming a huge contrast with the noisy and crowded world outside. The Bayao people live on the sea. The family lives in a simple stilted building, and each family has a lot of children. In the afternoon, the elderly, women, and children are the most visible. The men estimate that most of them have not returned from fishing. Right. Seeing a cruise ship approaching, the Bayao villagers in the house all “came out of their nests.” They knew that when the cruise ship came, so did the food. Some of them scrambled to row over in small boats, begging for food and daily necessities from outside tourists. The rest of the villagers all sat at the door of the house one after another, watching the “landers” coming from afar with curious eyes, and their smiles revealed Kindness and honesty. I prepared some candies and biscuits in advance, and was quickly robbed by the clansmen. The children eating candy, some cheered, some thumped into the sea, and the air was filled with joy and satisfaction. Seeing their simple life without desire and desire makes people envious and distressed. Because they want to dive into the deep sea to get better food, all the Bayao people are natural divers. Without any equipment, they can dive into the waters 30 meters or more deep to fish and catch shrimps. In order to please tourists, many children performed their rowing and diving stunts without reservation, in exchange for more food from the land. Today with such advanced modern technology, the Bayao people still live a primitive life on the sea, eating, drinking and sleeping on the water, completely isolated from modern civilization, relying only on the simplest conditions, but living a carefree life. life. We don’t seem to know where these lonely sea dwellers came from. We hope that this unique maritime culture and nation can be passed on from generation to generation and will never disappear.

Take the red background as the main theme with the new logo of the team interwoven with black lines stretching from the shoulder to the hem of the shirt.

The Spain national team jersey is specially designed by adidas to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Spanish Football Federation. This is the first time that the image of a lion has been chosen as the symbol of this team. Hidden behind the logos is a chessboard-like pattern of different sizes. The impressive point comes from the V-hole sewn close to the wearer’s body. Italy and Spain team jerseys. Photo: BBC.

‘Invincible Eagle’ F-15E shocked when carrying 5 stealth missiles weighing 1 ton

Bạch Dương — Sun, 16 May 2021 00:32:26 +0000

The American multi-role fighter F-15E Strike Eagle has extremely respectable air combat and ground attack capabilities.

The US Air Force recently conducted a test for the F-15E multi-role fighter when it carried five long-range air-to-surface missiles to attack outside the AGM-158 JASSM air defense point. These 1-ton stealth missiles will give the Strike Eagle the ability to hit land and sea targets equivalent to a bomber, while the air combat capability remains the same. To mount the AGM-158 JASSM to the F-15E’s external fuel tank mount requires a specially designed mechanism. At the same time, the aircraft still carries 2 short-range air-to-air missiles and 2 medium-range missiles, a total of 9 missiles. Despite being born for a long time, the power of the “Attack Eagle” F-15E is said to be still superior to many opponents in the world, now with a large number of AGM-158 JASSM missiles, Strike Eagle has become more and more multiple. dangerous part. AGM-158 JASSM is an upgrade from AGM-154 JSOW, officially put into service with the US Army in the mid-1990s, this is essentially a stealthy cruise missile equipped with a jet engine with Super long range, enough to overcome all the most advanced air defense systems. The AGM-158 JASSM missile is equipped with a Teledyne CAE J402 jet engine that allows to operate over a large area for a longer time. The missile’s body is designed with stealth capabilities and infrared shielding measures that make it very difficult to detect from a distance by radar systems. The AGM-158 is equipped with a very sophisticated navigation system that combines updated INS inertial guidance from the GPS global positioning system with an infrared sensor for finding and locking the target at the end. . The missile is also equipped with a data link that updates the operational status during the flight to change the target at the last moment if necessary. Significant improvements in the engine and aerodynamics give the AGM-158 JASSM a range of up to 370 km and up to 1,000 km in the JASSM-ER variant. The AGM-158 JASSM operates as an air-launched ground-attack cruise missile, not a clever glide bomb like the AGM-154. The range of the AGM-158 missile has exceeded the reach of most modern air defense systems today, helping the aircraft carrying it not have to enter the danger zone. Stealth capabilities and a new generation of quieter jet engines, which can operate at low altitudes below the range of radars, allow the missile to launch a surprise attack that makes the enemy unable to react. The AGM-158 JASSM has a variant of the AGM-158C LRASM super-long-range anti-ship cruise missile, which will be the main attack weapon of the US Navy fleet in the not too distant future. With the AGM-158 family of attack missiles, the US Army wants to convey the message that speed is not the core factor that gives a weapon’s power, this direction of theirs is completely different from that of Russia.
