Russia's War Against Ukraine

Newsflash : white paper is bad for your health !

Russia's Trade Ministry has decided that white copy paper is now dangerous for Russians' health and must be avoided at all costs.

"We have learned that this kind of gleaming, white office paper is harmful to human health," Deputy Trade Minister Oleg Bocharov said.
"It turns out that paper with a rougher texture is better for your eyes."

(Sanctions imposed on Russia since Russian President Vladimir Putin launched the war in Ukraine this February has left paper manufacturers without whitening chemicals for paper)



Newsflash : unfinished cars are better for you !

The automotive industry is feeling the crush of sanctions as well. Popular Russian car company Avtovaz had to stop production of some cars earlier this year because it could not adequately supply the production with certain parts given foreign sanctions, NBC News reported. But this time, the Russians barely tried to justify the problem.
Instead of producing cars with the right parts, they decided to just pump out cars without key safety mechanisms. The company decided to restart production and is now producing cars without safety features like air bags, anti-lock braking systems, and emergency retraction locks on seat belts.

   Newsflash: the really healthy thing might be not starting big wars for no reason.

  Friendly aliens might send you a 12-ton package of printer paper falling out of the sky at thousands of miles an hour, right?

Popular Russian car company

I assure you no such thing exists.

This is the company that made the Lada.  This car was the popular choice for many Russians.  For most it was the only choice, but still  ;).

They sold in Canada for a few years in the 80s. The price was super cheap, but the vehicles started rusting out almost as soon as they were driven off the lot.
They were super shitty, maybe lasting 3-4 years tops.... but the car heaters were apparently were infernos

Better or worse than the Yugo?

RU forces are moving the train offload points out of HIMARS range, this image gives an indication of how this affects delivery times.
The conclusion is the transport times have doubled, so they need twice the amount of trucks to be able to keep up the rate of delivery.

I noticed that too

Interesting but not unbelievable that 8 HIMARS launchers could cause THAT much confusion and delay.  Does Russia still use a different gauge of railroad than Western Europe, or did they abandon that habit sometime in the last 75 years?  Or did they lay the Ukrainian railroads to use that same different gauge as the old USSR used once upon a time? 

Just thinking of what kind of rolling stocks of train cars the Russians might have on hand...

It will be interesting to see what happens to the logistical end of this war as time goes on.  It'd be nice if we could let American taxpayers retake some of that land that was paid for with Ukrainian and Russian blood.

[GDS_Starfury]

yes russia still has its own gauge of track because russia.....  L:-)

[GDS_Starfury]

its on the optimistic side but interesting none the less.

Last night Russian state TV ran a report on the unexpected 'benefits' of having your son killed in Ukraine.

You can buy a Lada with the compensation given to you by the state!
