Really big bavovna. It is variously reported to be either an oil depot, a gas station or an oil refinery.

It blowed up real nice.

These fellows also blowed up real nice.

And all these fellows should have stayed home. Seven generals and 275 colonels and lieutenant colonels.

Short version: This stuff is shit.

Due to the systematic range spread when firing Korean shells, I carried out a check. Based on the results of checking 5 random Korean NDT-3 charges with the same markings, it turned out: the copper wire is not always present in the cartridges

obvious differences in the color of the gunpowder, which indirectly indicates a difference in the quality of its combustion.

on some cartridges there are traces of opening of the sealing caps

the equilibrium ligaments of gunpowder in many cartridges are disturbed. From the above, I assume that the difference in the range of a projectile at the same settings can be influenced by the following factors: Alternating presence/absence of a decoupler, which entails a difference in the resistance force of the projectile passing through the barrel. Not the same quality of gunpowder, as a result of violation of sealing caps and further improper storage. There may be an uneven amount of gunpowder in the charges.

It would be a disgrace if those planes are just junked.

These seem appropriate.

Russians just see these reserves as something else to loot.

I was quiet today.

I felt that I needed to stay in this tiny silence for a few hours.



In the evening, I went for a walk and saw this carousel.

But for all the joy that Christmas brings, it is also a time for loneliness and sorrow in Ukraine.

x Unfortunately, we have very little festive mood in Ukraine.



Many families will celebrate Christmas apart for the second year in a row.



It is terrible, but a lot of families have lost their loved ones in this horrible war.
