This 1943 painting by Laura Knight (1877-1970) depicts 21-year-old Ruby Loftus (2921-2004) working at an industrial lathe cutting the screw of a breech-ring for a Bofors anti-aircraft gun. Ruby became an expert in the production of breech-rings in just seven months – something that usually took years. After the war, Ruby and her husband John Green emigrated to Canada and she never worked in a factory or engineering again.

The first batch of L-70 anti-aircraft guns supplied by Lithuania is already in Ukraine

Quote: "A batch of Lithuanian-sent L-70 anti-aircraft guns and ammunition, which will help defend critical infrastructure, have already arrived to Ukraine."

P.S.  Bofors 40 mm Automatic Gun L/70 is quite efficient against different  subsonic air targets, including drones used by Russian invaders...
