I sold a bus to a Russian immigrant the other day. Great guy, really happy to be in the US now. He's a mechanic.
I told him he could make a fortune importing old Russian cars to the US as collectibles.
He looked at me like I just said the craziest thing he ever heard, laughed said
"No no no, do not need this on my conscience my friend. They are all made of metal like beer can. A minor bump and you no longer have feet and legs end at knee!"
In most soviet car crashes you'd actually see the opposite. There are no crumple zones. Hit a truck at 60mph? The car is barely scratched. But anyone (who's still inside) is dead. And most are outside (no seatbelts). Also no power steering or brake assist.
>Stupid holols, you didn't disable the glorious Russian Crimean bridge, we did it ourselves because it was several years old and we didn't need it anyway. Real life isn't war movie, professionals prefer fording straits to using bridges anyway

Russia still 30 years behind the curve
At first ukies did not have anything capable of doing it. Then they lacked range due losing coast over theter.
And now it is kinda low priority because the most of the fighting happens in the east.
They still don't have anything to blast it. >but HIMARS
You underestimate how difficult it is to destroy a multi lane bridge (including rail tracks). That shit's strong
would be funny if it turned out that smoke is just a side effect of some construction/maintenance work, ran away diesel engine or something equally benign
>worried about air strikes >only hide your AA systems with smoke, instead of popping random smokes everywhere
GEE I WONDER WHERE THE AA DEFENSES MIGHT BE
BE AN AWFUL SHAME IF SOMEONE DROPPED A BATTERY OF HIMARS ON EACH OF THESE SMOKE LOCATIONS
No, that is just the new russian made cars crossing the bridge

thats why you lose your feet and legs.
the impact goes to them first.

Are these basically the locations of the AA systems trying to hide themselves from bayraktar image sensors or something.
Just normal fumes
Just looks like someone vaping
>Later traffic on the bridge was closed due to car accidents
fricking clowns lmao
What the frick did they expect to ahppen?
>Stupid holols, you didn't disable the glorious Russian Crimean bridge, we did it ourselves because it was several years old and we didn't need it anyway. Real life isn't war movie, professionals prefer fording straits to using bridges anyway
Shame that all those missiles Ukraine is being supplied with are GPS/INS guided, not whatever TV-guided shit Russia uses
Being fair bayraktars are probably affected by this.
The smooker is at it again. Is he gonna torch the bridge now?
>get sent to bridge guard duty after he torched the last ammo depot
>he can't possibly manage to light a bridge on fire can he?
>aaaaaaah I'm gonna SMOOOOOOOOK
There was a Russian conscript smoking by some ammunition stored on the bridge. The bridge made it back on it's own power.
anyone has the feinter one?
>reached average life expectancy?

these are stimulating fumes for recreational use
that's just the psychotoxin to make the population stay obedient, how do you think they kept crimea under control all that time?
It's in honor of the Kuznetsov
Just wait until some recently un-retired naval aviation pilot reverts to old habits and tries to do a landing approach on it
How is this bridge STILL standing? I thought for sure this thing would be blasted by day 3 of the war.
It's very far away from the frontline.

It was build by ruskies, spit on it and it will crumble like toiletpaper.
It might be telling that the USAF used 3,000 pound bombs to drop certain bridges in North Vietnam.
Come to Pennsylvania. Our bridge collapse on their own.
thats because infrastructure is communism
well, there's your problem!
They don't need to destroy it now, just threaten it.
But guess where they are taking the defense from?
would be funny if it turned out that smoke is just a side effect of some construction/maintenance work, ran away diesel engine or something equally benign
Funny thing is that is low effort smokes that doesn't cover target...
The copium, it is leaking!
>smokescreen the bridge
>vatniks start flying off the bridge with their Ladas
Normal bridge exhausts. Nothing to see. Whoever made that photo is a traitor
Ah russian navy is nearby
>worried about air strikes
>only hide your AA systems with smoke, instead of popping random smokes everywhere

NOPE, NOTHING THERE. NOT AT ALL.
The smookers did it again
Dead out of the sun!
smoke grenades are always ineffective imo, that just means shoot where the smoke is am i wrong?
Temporary concealment is better then none at all, but it is situational.
the Admiral Kuznetsov is a masterstroke of engineering, the perpetual smoke screen makes it difficult to target for the enemy.
just because ukraine now has the equipment to destroy it, doesnt mean they will.
We get it, you vape!
