"A four-alarm fire in Downtown Moscow clears way for a glorious new tractor factory!"

A major fire broke out today in a secretive Russian military research center, killing several people, injuring others, and leaving significant damage in its wake. The facility in Tver, 120 miles northwest of Moscow, is responsible for diverse research focused on air defense, but reportedly crosses over between the fields of both space and the military. Most notably, it reportedly studies stealth technologies — and, above all, counters to use against them.
Local media reports on the fire at the Central Scientific Research Institute of the Aerospace Defense Troops, or TSNII VVKO, in the center of Tver, do not provide a final death toll, with the local Tvernews sources stating that at least one individual lost their lives and that at least 16 others were injured. Meanwhile, Interfax reports two deaths and 20 injured. For its part, the Moscow Times is reporting six fatalities in the blaze.
The fire broke out this morning on the third floor of the site’s main building before spreading quickly, according to Tvernews. The same source described fire crews from several different stations responding. Despite their efforts, some reports now say the building was destroyed.
...Answering directly to the Russian Ministry of Defense, the Central Scientific Research Institute’s work is mainly theoretical and includes the development of air and space defense systems. The institute carries out research into navigation, command and control, and other systems, as well as studies into stealth aircraft.
...While the cause of the fire today at the TSNII VVKO, and the extent of the final damage remain unclear, it seems almost certain that the blaze will have struck a significant blow to this highly specialized Russian research program, especially if some of those killed were experts in their field.

Where were Hogan, Colonel Clink and Sergent Shultz?
A few hours later Russia’s largest chemical plant went up in flames. Add to this all the food processing and distribution facilities going up in flames here in the U.S. . . . Very odd. It’s almost as if they’re tit-for-tat attacks, perhaps using some sort of space-based high-energy weapons.
I’m starting to see this travesty of English more and more often. “He struck Mr. Smith with the 2x4, knocking them to the ground.”
They know nothing. 😀😎
We laugh, but that’s a great policy in places with a lot of
pressure from military leaders.
Used to really enjoy that show, but wondered how real
POWs felt about it.
Hard to say.
I’m sure all the fire crews are Chinese.
Yeah...
Hop Sing?
Or was that Bonanza?
[A cover up by corrupt Russian officials to hide the failings in Ukraine ? ]
I spi onu and fellow travelers Me unfire and Broke vile made off with Putin loot.
Did Russia destroy own Biolabs???
Robert Clary, who played the cooking French corporal, LeBeau, had been interned at a concentration camp.
I think all the actors who played Germans were German or Austrian Jews. And I think I read somewhere that wiite a few of the actors were PoWs
Werner Klemperer made clear when he was being considered for the role of Klink that his character was to always be a buffoon, and that he’d be out the door at once if a script ever called for him to be a committed Nazi.
John banner who played Sgt. Schulz was also a Jew.
According to Wikipedia, yes at least one actor, Robert Clary, had spent 3 years in a concentration camp
Not very good at it, are they?
