I’d hate to be the one trying to clean up all the tungsten after the war.
In the second video, Russians at a training base were practicing on the firing range and got more fire than they bargained for.
Speaking of tungsten.

One of the hundreds of thousands of mines that will still be killing people for many years.

These farewell ceremonies are always poignant, especially since some of those being saluted likely won’t survive the war.
Not exactly Taylor Swift, but it’s got a good beat and you can dance to it.
