Battlegear You Say???

In the world today, modern military gears proliferate simply because war never stops in almost any corner of our world. Tactical military designs of military drones and battle gears kept on improving and transpiring right before our eyes. Superpowers seemed to exchanged marketing and exhibit performance of these military pieces on war torn areas. A recent show on the might of some of these military paraphernalia happened on an unfortunate event where a civilian commercial airplane was targeted and hit by a surface to air missile of a rebel group in East Ukraine.

All its 289 civilian passengers were wiped out instantly into thin air. Although air space routes to these war torn places are being avoided, accident still happens and the poor victims sadly are wasted and treated as collateral damages or just simply a show off of might of the military armory of each opposing sides. And as virtual technology upgrades, the internet has become a vast field to market these military equipment and supplies. Gears such as drones and battleships are selling like hotcakes on war torn areas and places. Transactions and shipments are of course hidden and sealed as top secret details.  Other countries hosts exhibits and shows that showcases information and details of these military merchandise. One recent exposition was the Asian Defense and Se
curity Exhibition (ADAS) that happened in the Philippines initiated last July 17, 2014. The exhibit showcased various military equipment and armaments that could counter terrorists, rebels and other military insurgents. A highlight of the exhibit included the Battledrone T.Re.X4, a tactical multi-rotor unmanned aerial system used in military operations.

Last September25-28 2013, Russia sponsored an exhibit tagged as the IX Russia Arms Expo 2013. The exhibit showcased Russia’s military equipment, ammunition and other military gadgets.

And as billions of people worldwide wait, pray and hope for WORLD PEACE some are busy selling and exhibiting their military wares. All peace loving and law abiding citizens of the world can only wait, pray and hope where in the world will PEACE be sold too. Billions await and hope that WORLD PEACE can still be attained and will still be FREE. But since PEACE seems to be so elusive, are we to set our minds that we all need to be prepared and gear up for the next battle just to be able to really fight for PEACE. Is the world gearing up for world battles that even plain civilian citizens need these battlegears as immediate protection? Do we need to replace our wallpapers with images of suicide bombers and terrorists and start target shooting practice even in our dreams? Will the next car model be an APC look-a-alike or a missile blaster? Or maybe we need to stack up our closets with battle drone outfits so that we could blast off from our windows and blow everything suspicious as targets?
