Right from the first episodes of the series, from time to time, Mrs. Sa clearly shows her calculating thoughts and tricks when forcing Thy (Thu Quynh) by all means to be the bride of the Long family (Manh Truong). ). Meritorious Artist Thu Hanh plays Mrs. Sa in “Flavor of Friendship”. According to Mrs. Sa, she has lost effort and money to raise Thy as she is today, so it is completely worth it for her to have a reputation and a destiny in a rich family. When she realized that Long did not like Thy, Mrs. Sa immediately advised her daughter to change her goal to Huy (Hoang Anh Vu), Long’s younger brother, even though Thy was so upset that she burst into tears because Long thought she was unworthy. The audience watching the film could not help but be annoyed with Ms. Sa because this character was too pragmatic. However, undeniably, that hate has proven to be a great role-playing ability of Meritorious Artist Thu Hanh. The female artist’s very lifelike performance made the audience both hate Mrs. Sa and fear this domineering and scheming mother. Not a stranger to the audience, Meritorious Artist Thu Hanh has owned more than 20 roles in TV series, named by the audience as Yen Chi in the movie “When the birds return”, and Thanh Tam in ” Eva’s Secret”. She has been working for the Hanoi Drama Theater for more than 10 years, making her mark with many roles and a Gold Award in the National Professional Theater Festival in 2009 (as Hanh Ngan in the play “Eyes of the Street” by director Pham Thanh Hoa. Thi Thanh). Thu Hanh shared, if on stage, she is often played with strong and personality roles, but in the field of dramas, Thu Hanh is often assigned by directors to play gentle and simple roles. , suffer. Over the years, she is still waiting for a “villain” role to show her acting ability on the small screen. And “Flavor of intimacy” gave her this opportunity. In addition to acting and acting, Meritorious Artist Thu Hanh is quite busy with the role of Head of Troupe 1 of Hanoi Drama Theater. Few people know, the female artist also encroached on the role of a theater director. In 2020, Thu Hanh surprised and admired many people more after the release of the play “The Thief”, as a director. Meritorious Artist Thu Hanh always remembers that her chosen profession must be passionate and devoted. No matter what role, Thu Hanh always told herself to try her best and be serious about her profession, because the profession chose her. Thu Hanh was born into a family with artistic traditions. Her parents and sister are both actors of the Central Chess troupe. Knowing that pursuing art is hard work, from a young age, even though she realized that her daughter was gifted, Thu Hanh’s parents always prevented her from following the family path. After studying dance for 2 years, her parents forced her to quit to focus on studying culture. When she was in secondary school, she participated in the city’s Children’s Singing contest and won the prize, but Hanh’s parents were afraid that their child would be stuck in the arts, so again, forced her to stop studying singing. When it came to the university entrance exam, Thu Hanh chose the University of Foreign Languages ​​and took the exam at the University of Theater and Cinema. When receiving the results, Hanh’s parents were “shocked” when they received their daughter’s certificate of being valedictorian at the University of Theater and Cinema, class 1994-1998. “Therefore, the hundred paths cannot avoid the word predestined. At that time, the parents also had to say hello to their stubborn daughter. The profession has already chosen me, so I have to devote my heart, passion and pursuit” – Meritorious Artist Thu Hanh confided. The play “The Thief” is directed by Meritorious Artist Thu Hanh. Currently, the female artist is living a peaceful life with her husband and children. Her husband is a police officer. The couple has two separate jobs, so they both sympathize with each other, share and raise children together. “I feel happy and alert when I have a balance between work and family. For an artist, this is very important,” shared Thu Hanh.

This is the most common type of roof. The pointed roof is composed of two sides sloping down from the same starting point, forming two triangles on either side of the house. Pointed roof houses are suitable for countries with weather conditions with a lot of rain or snow because the slope of the roof makes it easier for snow and rain to fall, making the roof less heavy. The pointed roof has a simple design, requires less materials, and is easy to construct, so the cost is low. At the same time, the space below the pointed roof is wide and airy, so it can be used as a storage space or an attic bedroom. However, the pointed roof is easily affected by strong winds, if not firmly reinforced, it is easy to fall because the wind is easy to blow into the space under the roof, causing the roof to fall. 2. Tower roof This is a type of roof with 4 sides sloping down, with the same slope and relatively light slope to create balance for the building. Usually a tower-shaped roof will have 2 triangular faces and two trapezoidal faces. The tower-shaped roof is common in European countries as well as Vietnam and architects often use this roof for villas or garden houses. Tower roofs are recommended for areas frequently affected by storms. However, because of the complex structure, this type of roof is difficult to maintain. 3. Rubber roof Rubber roofing is a cheap, green, and durable option. Rubber roofs are usually large panels, easy to install. Waterproof surface, perfect for areas with humid climates. However, the aesthetic of rubber roofing can be too simple for some homeowners who want a difference for the home. 4. Flat roof Flat roofs are a popular design for homes in warm or dry climates. This type of roof protects homeowners from heat and sunlight. However, it is not ideal for areas with a lot of rain. In addition, you can create a living area, garden or mini sports field on the roof. 5. Roof falls This type of roof slopes in one direction. It can continue the slope of an existing roof, or separate, similar to a shed roof. The roof seems to be raised, making the work very noticeable. This is a permanent roof because water, dust and particles roll off more easily. The construction also makes it tough, able to face the harsh elements. Skillion roofs are ideal for contemporary urban homes, galleries and other small commercial buildings. The shape of the roof will immediately catch the eye. 6. Butterfly roof The butterfly roof looks like an inversion of the standard pointed roof. The basic design looks like a letter “V” (or butterfly) when viewed from a distance. This roof was popular in the twentieth century and many architects liked to experiment with this unusual roof shape. 7. Salt box roof The salt box roof is a type of pointed roof in which one side of the roof has a much longer slope than the other. Buildings with this type of roof usually have two floors in the front and one in the back; adding a sloping back porch is a structure that simply extends the building. The salt box roof is ideal for various modern and contemporary homes. You can create a patio under the higher roof, turning it into a cozy sitting area. 8. Curved roof Curved roofs are not a contemporary design. It appeared in the early 1920s as a solution to maximize storage space in barns. Curved roof is back in the modern world because of its unusual shape. It has a simple construction, is perfect for windy areas, and is easy to customize. 9. Dome Based on the curved design, the dome has a high visual impact. It is commonly used for the construction of buildings of worship, but variations of it appear in residential houses. This roof is unique, energy efficient and provides a great surface for decoration. 10. Pyramid roof The pyramid roof is a variation of the pyramidal roof. This roof is common in modern Victorian homes. The pyramid roof is well suited for windy areas and comes with its own insulation benefits. It also drains quickly when it rains. 11. Serrated roof The serrated roof looks like a series of ridges when viewed from a distance. This roof is popular in warehouses and factories because it allows natural light in. In the 21st century, serrated roofs are gaining popularity thanks to the trend of bringing natural light into the home. 12. Canopy roof The bonnet roof is a variation of the pyramidal roof. The edges of the roof extend beyond the walls, creating a shaded area resembling a bonnet. Some bonnets have a slight slope at the bottom. In modern homes, the bonnet is extended further to create a terrace or patio. 13. Roof with metal roofing The metal roof provides durability and strength. This roof can last from 50 to 100 years if well maintained. Metal roofs are perfect for windy areas, lightweight and ideal for reinforcing old structures. However, when it rains, the sound on the roof will make homeowners extremely uncomfortable. 14. Asphalt roofing sheet Asphalt shingles are popular roofing materials, especially in North America. They are cheap, easy to install, and can reflect sunlight better to reduce heat inside the home. But asphalt roofs are prone to damage from hail and water, so it’s not a good solution in the long run. 15. Slate roof The slate roof is made of natural stone, creating an expensive and luxurious look. It lasts a long time and doesn’t catch fire too easily. However, the combination of weight and fragility makes slate roofs more difficult to maintain. 16. Green roof Green roofs act as a means of planting trees, a growing trend in environmentally conscious architecture. It helps to create insulation, absorb water and deliver more oxygen in your environment. Green roofs can be applied to traditional houses and modern buildings.

The President must pay for all food and living expenses himself. Every month, the First Family will receive bills for food, dry cleaning and other personal belongings. The White House has a dental clinic in the basement. In addition, the White House also has a flower shop, a chocolate shop and a carpentry workshop. The stains on the carpet at the White House were not cleaned in time. Jodi Kantor, a biographer of the Obama family, revealed that, when the former president moved in, there were still stains on the carpet left by George W. Bush’s cats. Only American wine can be drunk at the White House. The only wine served in the White House is made from grapes grown in the United States. For security reasons, the first family will not be able to open windows in the White House. The White House can see the movie before everyone else. The movie theater at the White House will receive films sent from Hollywood, and people there will be able to enjoy the films before they are released to the public. The White House honey is obtained from a beehive on the grounds of the mansion. The hive is home to thousands of bees and is cared for by beekeepers. There is a mini golf course just outside the Oval Office. Former President Bill Clinton installed this golf course in 1995. Photo: Mr. Joe Biden plays golf with Barack Obama at the mini golf course at the White House. It took only 6 hours to unpack the former President’s belongings and welcome the new President into the White House. About 100 employees will be mobilized to carry out the cleanup work. Children in the US First Family still have to do housework. Even though they have a valet, parents like Michelle Obama still want their children to clean up their own things. The kids can hold the ball at the White House. Susan Ford – daughter of former President Gerald Ford, hosted the first (and only so far) ball at the White House in 1975. The first American family can cook for themselves as they have their own kitchen in the living quarters. According to Stars Insider, former First Lady Hillary Clinton loves to make breakfast for her daughter by herself. In 1814, British troops burned down the White House and only a single painting of former President George Washington was kept by former First Lady Dolley Madison. No need to carry cash at the White House. Former Presidents George HW Bush and Reagan never carried cash. US presidents can access the old objects of their predecessors. Every sitting president has access to an archive in the White House that holds things like precious works of art. Pictured is a painting by painters Georgia O’Keeffe and Norman Rockwell. Presidents can decorate the Oval Office themselves. While this room may seem iconic and immutable, every president is allowed to change things. However, former Presidents Eisenhower and Carter did not change a thing in the Oval Office and Mr. Reagan only changed a carpet.

Princess Diana’s wedding dress almost didn’t fit in the carriage because it was too long Princess Diana’s wedding dress has gone down in history as one of the most elaborate and grandiose gowns ever worn by a British Royal bride to a wedding. The tail of the dress has been designed to be up to 7.6 meters long with an even longer chiffon scarf. To make a matching chiffon scarf, 139 meters of tulle fabric was used. This is the longest chiffon scarf in Royal history. The designers did not take into account the size of the carriage that the princess would use to get to the wedding venue. Princess Diana’s wedding dress almost didn’t fit in the carriage because it was too long. When Diana got off the carriage in front of the church, many people noticed the wrinkles in her skirt and veil. The blue stitching on Meghan Markle’s wedding dress was part of the dress she wore on her first date with Prince Harry. Bringing “something blue” to the wedding is a long-standing tradition in the UK in the hope of bringing luck to the bride and as a wish for a happy marriage. Princess Meghan has attached a special memento in her wedding dress. It was a piece of blue fabric – cut from the dress she wore on her first date with Prince Harry. She considers it a great demonstration of the strength and foundation of their relationship. Sarah Ferguson pays tribute to Prince Andrew’s naval career Royal family men often pursue military careers in addition to their Royal duties. In the case of Prince Andrew, Queen Elizabeth’s third son, he focuses on serving in the country’s navy. So in 1986, when he married Sarah Ferguson, the beads on her dress incorporated various symbols including a heart symbolizing romance, anchors and waves representing her love of the sea. Prince Andrew. The dress also embroidered their initials on it. Up to 5 wedding dresses were made for Princess Diana As the wedding day approached, Princess Diana continuously lost weight. In fact, in the 7 months before the ceremony, Princess Diana’s waistline had decreased by 12 cm. Designers were forced to create up to 5 different wedding dresses to accommodate the Princess’s physical changes. However, in the end, they adjusted the waist of the dress on the very day of the wedding.

This is a gift that Kate Middleton’s parents gave her when she returned to be the bride of the British Royal Family. Princess Diana dirty her wedding dress Just hours before the wedding, Diana had a small problem with her wedding dress. As she prepared to leave for church, Princess Diana spilled some perfume on her wedding dress. With a calm personality, Princess Diana tries not to make a big deal out of it and trusts that no one will notice. And really, no one noticed the stain on Diana’s wedding dress that day. It wasn’t until her makeup artist, Barbara Daly, revealed this detail in her book “Diana: The Portrait” that the truth became public. In some photos, Princess Diana tried to cover the stain on her wedding dress. Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s license plate shows their wedding date Following the emotional and iconic wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Prince Charles held a party later that same evening, where only a small group of guests were invited. In images taken after the ceremony, you can see the bride and groom leaving Windsor Castle, hand in hand, in a blue Jaguar.

Princess Kate borrowed Queen Elizabeth’s diamond tiara Many brides still follow the tradition of using a few borrowed items for their wedding ceremony, just as the old English tune advises them to do so. For her wedding, Princess Kate borrowed Queen Elizabeth a tiara called Halo. The headpiece to accompany Kate on her big day, made by Cartier in 1936, consists of 16 winding rings set with 888 diamonds.

Diana and Prince Charles are the same height, about 1.77m. That is one of the reasons why Princess Diana wore flats to avoid looking taller than her husband in the official photos of the ceremony. Another romantic detail is that Princess Diana asked the designer to print the letters D and C on the soles of the shoes.

Recently, Australia has witnessed the first Tasmanian devil (a carnivorous marsupial of the family Dasyuridae) born in the wild after more than 3,000 years since the species disappeared from the continent. Specifically, according to the announcement of the Aussie Ark wildlife conservation organization on May 24, 7 young Tasmanian devils were born at the Barrington wildlife sanctuary, New South Wales, Australia. It is known that the Tasmanian devil disappeared from mainland Australia thousands of years ago. The Dingo is the cause of the extinction of the Tasmanian devil Since then, the Tasmanian devil has only lived within the island of Tasmania, south of Australia – where the wild dog Dingo has never set foot. However, the Tasmanian devils that exist on the island are threatened by the disease “demon face tumor” – a mysterious infectious cancer unique to this species. The disease causes the body, especially the face of the Tasmanian devil, to develop large lumps, which will be fatal to the animals within 3-6 months. Worse still, this is an infectious disease. In the process of fighting for territory or food, Tasmanian devils often bite each other in the face. Accordingly, cancer cells in infected animals will easily be transferred to healthy children Before this strange disease first swept the island of Tasmania in the 1990s, there were about 150,000 Tasmanian devils on the island. However, statistics by 2020, only less than 25,000 animals are still alive in the wild The fact that this species has almost disappeared on the continent and the island’s numbers are on the decline has led Australian conservationists to work hard to protect, breed and return the Tasmanian devil to its natural environment. In September 2020, the wildlife conservation organization Animal Ark brought 11 Tasmanian devils back to the wild in mainland Australia (specifically, the Barrington wildlife sanctuary). Together with 15 individuals previously present in a research project, the number of Tasmanian devils in mainland Australia is increased to 26. After 8 months since returning to the wild, the Tasmanian devils have successfully reproduced When born, the offspring are only the size of a pea and live in the mother’s pouch The successful breeding of demons in mainland Australia has raised hopes for the success of the plan to release and breed Tasmanian devils in the wild. Normally, the mother Tasmanian devil will give birth to 20-40 offspring at a time. The offspring will have to compete for milk from the mother At birth, the baby Tasmanian devil weighs only about 0.18-0.24 grams and is about 0.2cm long Once born, the baby Tasmanian devil will crawl into the mother’s pouch. After 3 months there, its body is complete and can go out to explore nature. When they reach the age of 3.5 – 4 months, the young begin to wean from their mother’s milk Baby Tasmanian devils are more agile than adults and can climb trees. If they can survive the first year, their lifespan in the wild is around 7-8 years As adults, Tasmanian devil males are usually larger than females with a body length of about 65 cm, a tail length of about 25 cm and an average weight of about 8 kg. Females are about 57 cm in length, about 24 cm in tail and have an average weight of about 6 kg The size of the Tasmanian devil is not too big, but after the Tasmanian tiger went extinct in 1936, they became the largest carnivorous marsupial in the world. The appearance of this creature is quite strange when it seems to be “hybrid” between many animals. The head of the Tasmanian devil looks like a mouse, the body is neat, stocky with black fur and a white stripe across the chest quite like a small bear, their teeth are sharp like a wolf… The Tasmanian devil is exactly the epitome of the saying “small but mighty”. Although the body size is only about the size of a puppy, it is considered a “killer” in the animal world because it possesses many “weapons” that are beneficial for hunting. Thanks to their extremely sensitive sense of smell and hearing, the Tasmanian devil easily finds prey or detects other dangers. Tasmanian devil is an agile animal and the ability to fight flexibly on many terrains (ground, underwater, in trees) plus an aggressive personality, like to “chase and kill” so it is rare for any creature to escape the danger. their pursuit Their teeth are also extremely sharp and their jaws are so powerful that every bite is a fatal blow The Tasmanian devil is basically a carnivore, so its food is any animal they hunt. They even eat carrion. Thanks to their sharp teeth and strong jaws, they can even eat bones In addition, the cry of the Tasmanian devil is very scary, it makes the listener feel like they are lost in a horror movie When hunting or fighting for food with fellow humans, the Tasmanian devil will emit even more haunting cries Possessing incredible speed, sharp teeth, haunting cries … so this creature is likened to the devil of Tasmania. It is known that the Tasmanian devil is one of the 7 important species for Australia’s ecosystem The ‘revival’ of the Tasmanian devil in mainland Australia will help control populations of feral cats and foxes – these are animals that threaten the existence of many other species In addition, the Tasmanian devil is also a scavenger, helping to avoid diseases spreading into the environment

The researchers found that from their first flight, these echolocating mammals somehow knew exactly how long it would take for the sound waves of their calls to echo from their prey. again. An innate reference point related to the speed of sound allows bats to judge distance in units of time, as opposed to spatial units like humans. Unlike humans who rely heavily on sight, various types of bats “see” the world around them with their ears. However, just as our eyes can fool ourselves, bats don’t always decode their echoes correctly. Illustration. For the test, the team housed six newborn bats in normal atmospheric conditions, as well as five newborn bats in helium-enriched air. This will increase the speed of the sound. These two groups were then tested for echolocation in their respective environments. When approaching a food target, helium-enriched airborne bats displayed echolocation patterns and normal airborne bat-like flight behavior. When a bat flies and lands somewhere, it requires precise coordination between its call to attract and its body. As the creature gets closer to its target, the bat’s echolocation speed increases, and when landing slows, it rolls its body, straightening its legs. However, in an environment where the speed of sound travels faster, this all happens much faster, causing the bats to land ahead of their target. Despite many attempts, the bats still managed to approach the target using the normal sound reference speed. The problem is that bats never learn from their mistakes. Even when adult bats were conditioned in a helium-enriched environment for several days, the researchers found that they were unable to change this fixed reference point. This is surprising, since sensory learning is an advantage for many animals, especially those with the ability to change conditions. Little known secrets about bats According to the analysis results of scientists, in the feces of bats there is a lot of potassium nitrate salt, also known as salt pepper. This chemical is the main ingredient in many fertilizers. At the same time, it is also used to make explosives and detonators. In the past, especially during the American Civil War, bat droppings were considered an important resource for both sides. Because from this waste, one can extract salt and pepper (which is quite scarce) to supply the army. When it comes to bats, most of us probably think of animals with a “unique” way of sleeping upside down. According to scientists, this unusual sleeping position of bats actually has its own purpose. Specifically, unlike birds or insects, the leathery wings of bats are not strong enough to easily lift them from the ground to the air. Therefore, when resting, bats always choose an elevated position so that when they need to fly, they just drop down, taking advantage of air resistance to support take-off. However, according to statistics, there are 6 species of bats that do not hang upside down when sleeping. Most of them have suckers on their limbs, allowing them to cling to leaves or other flat surfaces to sleep. In fact, only small bats (suborder Microchiroptera) have poor eyesight and must be located using sonar. Meanwhile, the larger representatives (of the suborder Megachiroptera) possess excellent eyesight. Even the vision of these bats is better than that of humans. However, in exchange for “bright” eyes, members of the suborder Megachiroptera do not know how to use ultrasound waves.

Mentioning Van Kieu mountain is probably not strange to many people, this place is a famous mountain of Taoism located in Xiangning district, Linfen city, Shanxi province, China. Van Kieu Mountain is currently a national grade 5A tourist destination, compared to other places, although its popularity is not high, it is well worth a visit. This mountain scenic area mainly includes Zushiding, Yuhuangding, Taerpo ancient village, Wulong palace and other scenic spots. In particular, the ancient village of Taerpo is a place few people know about. Taerpo ancient village (Thap Ba) not only has magnificent and beautiful natural scenery but also has a deep cultural heritage. The historical record of the origin of this place goes back 1500 years. According to legend, Lao Tzu came here while traveling around the world, later many Taoist alchemists came here, the most famous being Qiu Xu Co. Thap Erba ancient village is located on the mountainside, beautiful natural scenery, giving people the feeling of paradise. Stroll along the cobblestone street in the village, flanked by many old houses, most of which are very well preserved. Many architects have come here to survey and identify them as “living fossils of residential buildings”. As the village was expected to become a tourist attraction, the original inhabitants who lived here were moved to new homes under the mountain. The traffic here is very inconvenient, going down to the foot of the mountain will have a much better living environment, which is also a good thing for the locals. Through the houses built in the style of a cave, although there are some places that are dilapidated, it also partly shows the past years of history. As an important part of the national 5A tourist attraction, in Thap Ba ancient village, you can experience rich features such as waist dancing, shadow puppetry and local wedding customs. Talking about the most unique feature of Son Tay, many people will immediately think of a folk art form of flower molding. The flowers are molded in many different shapes and colors, just like a work of art.

Modernization plan The production of the Challenger 2 main tank began in 1994 and lasted until 2002. The tank was officially commissioned in 1998. Immediately after that, the search for a way to modernize the equipment. of Challenger 2 began to be implemented, but until recently, all the ideas were not developed, for various reasons. However, the basic reason for refusing to modernize the Challenger 2 tank was lack of finance. RBLS introduces the tank model of the Challenger 2 Life Extension Project project in 2019. At the end of 2015, the British Ministry of Defense launched the Challenger Life Extension Project 2 (LEP), to upgrade its existing tank fleet. The project was originally planned to follow a “small” modernization, focusing only on instrumentation. The project was then completed in 2019. However, in 2019, the LEP program was relaunched, with new requirements. Proposals are currently being made for a larger modernization, focusing on weapons systems, power plant complexes, turrets and other structures. In addition, the project also considers modifying the volume and cost of the modernization process. In 2019, the German-British joint venture Rheinmetall BAE Systems Land (RBSL) proposed the Challenger-2 modernization project. In September of the same year, the new experimental tank of the project appeared at an exhibition. Then the necessary tests are carried out, in order to determine the actual characteristics and compare with other competing development projects. As a result, RBSL’s project was recognized as the most successful and recommended for full-scale implementation. On May 7, 2021, the British Ministry of Defense announced the signing of a contract for the project. Some contents of the proposed modernization program have been reported in detail. Accordingly, the project will upgrade the Challenger-2 main tank into the Challenger 3 version. Main tank for the future Between 1994 and 2002, the British Army purchased 386 Challenger-2 tanks and 22 training vehicles. By 2010, the number of equipment in the lineup was reduced to 225 and has remained at that level to this day. According to previous plans, such a main tank force would be maintained until 2035. However, now the plan has been revised, regarding the Challenger 3 project. He started implementing the Challenger 2 Tank Life Extension Project since 2015. In March 2021, a new assessment of defense and security was published, which made a request to reduce the tank fleet. Accordingly, only 148 tanks will be used in the future and will be repaired and modernized. This allows them to remain in service until the 2040s. The remaining 77 vehicles will be retired from service. The new contract between the British Ministry of Defense and RBSL accepts this option and begins implementation. The main work of the Challenger 3 project will be carried out at the RBSL plant in Telford (UK). This project will provide 200 jobs, including 130 vacancies for engineers. Individual units will be provided by other companies, where another 450 jobs will be created. In the coming years, contractors will have to complete the project development and prepare the production line. The first tanks to be upgraded are scheduled to arrive in 2027. The last of 148 main battle tanks will return to service in 2030. The total cost of this modernization project, according to the contract. , would be £800 million (about £5.4 million/tank). The British Ministry of Defense highly appreciates the prospects of the new project. The country’s military expects the Challenger 3 to become a “world-class tank” and “NATO’s deadliest machine”. In addition, new weapons and other modern systems will allow the British Challenger-3 to surpass modern Russian main battle tanks. Comprehensive upgrade RBLS’s Challenger 3 project involves extensive modernization of the existing tank line, with the replacement of most major systems and equipment. As a result, the new tank will enhance mobility, increase protection, firepower and other important stats. In addition, the upgraded tank can function as part of a command combat system, along with a modern control system and easy data exchange. The main changes of the Challenger 3 project. During the upgrade process, the tank shell will receive new modular front armor. Its composition and properties are not specified, but the degree of protection is reported to be significantly increased. To replace the old tower, a new hood was developed with reinforced armor and the volume required to install new equipment. In the future, tanks will also receive active defense complexes. Challenger-3’s weapon system is equipped with a 120mm smoothbore gun Rheinmetall Rh 120 L55A1 manually loaded. Cannons can use a full range of existing and new ammunition for different purposes. In particular, the tank’s ammunition base will include new high-explosive fragmentation ammunition, with a DM11 programmable fuse. Additional weapons will include a remotely controlled machine gun combat module. RBSL intends to carry out a radical overhaul of the fire control system and other equipment on the tank. The lens system, control computer and other components of the tank will be selected new, without using the standard equipment of the Challenger 2. The fire control system will be combined with the associated vehicles. modern communication, providing the exchange of data on the tactical situation. Project outlook The Challenger 2 Life Extension Project (LEP) program has passed its first phase and is entering a new phase. In the coming years, the joint venture Rheinmetall BAE Systems Land and related companies will have to organize new content and kick-start work on a series of equipment modernization. According to the general plan, by 2030, the British army will completely renew its main tank force. Challenger 3 will be the main tank of the British army in the future. Due to a lack of funding, the British army could not afford to maintain a large tank fleet, and currently has only 225 main tanks. The modernization of all these equipment also becomes impossible and about a third of the tanks will have to be decommissioned due to lack of funds to restore. Besides, the increase in the capabilities of upgraded tanks is not only due to the benefit of new equipment and weapons. It is also based on the objective limitations and shortcomings of existing tanks. Accordingly, the Challenger-2 has not undergone a major upgrade and its characteristics remain at the level of the late 1990s. This fact led to the need to develop an entirely new combat unit. However, from a technical point of view, experts say that Rheinmetall BAE Systems Land’s Challenger 3 project seems quite successful. The proposed solutions are indeed capable of improving the technical characteristics and increasing the combat capabilities of existing tanks. In addition, all the necessary capabilities of a modern main tank are provided.

Modernization plan The production of the Challenger 2 main tank began in 1994 and lasted until 2002. The tank was officially commissioned in 1998.

In addition, the project also considers modifying the volume and cost of the modernization process. In 2019, the German-British joint venture Rheinmetall BAE Systems Land (RBSL) proposed the Challenger-2 modernization project. In September of the same year, the new experimental tank of the project appeared at an exhibition. Then the necessary tests are carried out, in order to determine the actual characteristics and compare with other competing development projects. As a result, RBSL’s project was recognized as the most successful and recommended for full-scale implementation. On May 7, 2021, the British Ministry of Defense announced the signing of a contract for the project. Some contents of the proposed modernization program have been reported in detail. Accordingly, the project will upgrade the Challenger-2 main tank into the Challenger 3 version. Main tank for the future Between 1994 and 2002, the British Army purchased 386 Challenger-2 tanks and 22 training vehicles. By 2010, the number of equipment in the lineup was reduced to 225 and has remained at that level to this day. According to previous plans, such a main tank force would be maintained until 2035. However, now the plan has been revised, regarding the Challenger 3 project. He started implementing the Challenger 2 Tank Life Extension Project since 2015. In March 2021, a new assessment of defense and security was published, which included a request to reduce the tank fleet. Accordingly, only 148 tanks will be used in the future and will be repaired and modernized. This allows them to remain in service until the 2040s. The remaining 77 vehicles will be retired from service. The new contract between the British Ministry of Defense and RBSL accepts this option and begins implementation. The main work of the Challenger 3 project will be carried out at the RBSL plant in Telford (UK). This project will provide 200 jobs, including 130 vacancies for engineers. Individual units will be provided by other companies, where another 450 jobs will be created. In the coming years, contractors will have to complete the project development and prepare the production line. The first tanks to be upgraded are scheduled to arrive in 2027. The last of 148 main battle tanks will return to service in 2030. The total cost of this modernization project, according to the contract. , would be £800 million (about £5.4 million/tank). The British Ministry of Defense highly appreciates the prospects of the new project. The country’s military expects the Challenger 3 to become a “world-class tank” and “NATO’s deadliest machine”. In addition, new weapons and other modern systems will allow the British Challenger-3 to surpass modern Russian main battle tanks. Comprehensive upgrade RBLS’s Challenger 3 project involves extensive modernization of the existing tank line, with the replacement of most major systems and equipment. As a result, the new tank will enhance mobility, increase protection, firepower and other important stats. In addition, the upgraded tank can function as part of a command combat system, along with a modern control system and easy data exchange. The main changes of the Challenger 3 project. During the upgrade process, the tank shell will receive new modular front armor. Its composition and properties are not specified, but the degree of protection is reported to be significantly increased. To replace the old tower, a new hood was developed with reinforced armor and the volume required to install new equipment. In the future, tanks will also receive active defense complexes. Challenger-3’s weapon system is equipped with a 120mm smoothbore gun Rheinmetall Rh 120 L55A1 manually loaded. Cannons can use a full range of existing and new ammunition for different purposes. In particular, the tank’s ammunition base will include new high-explosive fragmentation ammunition, with a DM11 programmable fuse. Additional weapons will include a remotely controlled machine gun combat module. RBSL intends to carry out a radical overhaul of the fire control system and other equipment on the tank. The lens system, control computer and other components of the tank will be selected new, without using the standard equipment of the Challenger 2. The fire control system will be combined with the associated vehicles. modern communication, providing the exchange of data on the tactical situation. Project outlook The Challenger 2 Life Extension Project (LEP) program has passed its first phase and is entering a new phase. In the coming years, the joint venture Rheinmetall BAE Systems Land and related companies will have to organize new content and kick-start work on a series of equipment modernization. According to the general plan, by 2030, the British army will completely renew its main tank force. Challenger 3 will be the main tank of the British army in the future. Due to a lack of funding, the British army could not afford to maintain a large tank fleet, and currently has only 225 main tanks. The modernization of all these equipment also becomes impossible and about a third of the tanks will have to be decommissioned due to lack of funds to restore. Besides, the increase in the capabilities of the upgraded tank is not only due to the benefit of new equipment and weapons. It is also based on the objective limitations and shortcomings of existing tanks. Accordingly, the Challenger-2 has not undergone a major upgrade and its characteristics are still at the level of the late 1990s. This fact led to the urgent need to develop a completely new combat unit. However, from a technical point of view, experts say that Rheinmetall BAE Systems Land’s Challenger 3 project seems quite successful. The proposed solutions are indeed capable of improving the technical characteristics and increasing the combat capabilities of existing tanks. In addition, all the necessary capabilities of a modern main tank are provided.

As the capital of Tien Giang province, My Tho city is a vibrant metropolis as well as a famous tourist destination in the Mekong Delta. The name My Tho has an interesting historical origin.
