Russia has begun serial production of mobile bomb shelters that can protect against a variety of threats including shockwaves and radiation from a nuclear blast.

The emergency ministry's research institute said the "KUB-M" shelter could offer protection for 48 hours against these and other natural and man-made hazards.

Among those it listed were: explosions and shrapnel from conventional weapons; falling debris from buildings; dangerous chemicals and fires.

The "KUB-M" looks like a reinforced shipping container and consists of two modules - a room for 54 people and a technical block. More modules can be added if needed, the institute said.

Like an old-fashioned drop kick.

Or a bounce house on a windy day.

Pretty good for knuckle dragging savages running a large gas station, huh? Have you read Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, and Solzhenitsyn?

I wonder if they sell them here. The government here seems to be trying to start a nuclear war.

Haha! No need to worry about that. Mexican food is something of a rarity here. On the other hand, Tushonaya Kapusta (stewed cabbage) a staple here, whew...watch out! That stuff is lethal. :)

Don’t ask me what the population of a good size city is going to eat, besides each other, after a month or so after a nuclear war...
