Blood to the rescue: how plasma therapy helps the recovery of wounded soldiers
The technology allows for the healing of complex postoperative and burn wounds

Photos of Norwegian Air Force F-35A fighters in underground shelters have been published
Photos have been published online showing underground shelters at the Norwegian Air Force base Bardufoss. Apparently, the photos were taken during a recent Norwegian Air Force exercise, during which the deployment of fifth-generation F-35A Lightning II fighters in underground shelters of the mountain complex was practiced.
