Ahed Tamimi (born 2001) shaking her fist at an Israeli soldier in the West Bank in 2012 during the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

Not sure if she's wearing the right t-shirt for the occasion.

Photo from 1976 shows a Swedish Centurion tank equipped with hanging chain standoff armor. The armour consisted of chains, which hung from special rails. The designers expected this armour to protect the tanks from HEAT (High Explosive Anti Tank) warheads. Work did not progress past the experimental stage.

Must’ve made an incredible noise when on the move.

It looks like Berlin, but it is a military parade in Buenos Aires, July 1944.

The civil war in El Salvador began on Jan 10, 1981, when the newly formed Farabundo Martà National Liberation Front (FMLN) announced the start of its "general offensive." It was officially extended until Jan 16, 1992, when the so-called "Chapultepec Accords" were signed in Mexico City. It left 75,000 dead and 8,000 missing.
In the pic, Guerrillas from the Farabundo Martà National Liberation Front, or FMLN, in Usulután, El Salvador, in 1983.
