Last time we were there we were pretty deep in the rural areas. A guy we were with picked up his grandma from the market, then explained to us that she goes to the banya (sauna) every single day and drinks half a bottle of vodka while there. Every day. She was like 5' nothing and fucking ancient. |
So great a loss can we still be redeemed? When we have failed to sow our father's seeds. For hill and wood, for oak and ash and thorn- for ways of life now gone forever more.

Right! Roll into an area sewn with those and the Company is going to have a really bad day. No way you would want to risk the M88 to go grab those damaged Tanks out either. |

She was like 5' nothing and fucking ancient. Bald & Bankrupt’s Belarus videos show some of that. I noticed that the vodka bottles are smaller, like the size of beer bottles, and someone pointed out that over there they drink vodka like it’s beer. A drinking contest between Russians & Sioux would be a lot of fun until we started killing each other. Two cultures with massive alcoholism issues & long-held inferiority complexes trading shots for shots? What could possible go wrong? |

 BMP-1s, we bought a bunch of them after the Cold War (together with a bunch of MT-LBs). The T-80 tank was tested, but never purchased since we got Leo 2s for cheap. |

Dehumidifiers, we have them on all armoured vehicles when placed in long-term storage. |

A lot of vehicles have been sold off, but a few hundred remain in storage. Many of the MT-LBs were sent to Czechia, from where they were sent to Iraq. Daesh captured a bunch of them that had been upgraded to our specs. |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KS-23 KS-23 shotgun (well it's rifled but still). The russians had some 23mm anti aircraft barrels that were rejected so they figured "Well they'll work as shotgun barrels" so they made 6 gauge riot guns

Sure wish I had bought one, just because. |

Attached File We also bought a metric shitload of these. It's a Belarussian Gen 1 NVG. It was issued to the Home Guard. We still have them, but no one wants to use them so they sit in storage. It's the worst shit you can imagine. |
