1 min video, Putin is no happy
A text from my old reader, saying that you shouldn't wait for help, it won't come, act on your own:
- “I am a Russian officer. My calendar has passed 20, and I have been a colonel for a couple of years.
I have a successful career and everything seems to be fine, but I can't help but say so...
My country has been waging the New Patriotic War for three years. I say “Domestic” for a reason. I can't imagine for us, Russian people, a future in which we lost in this war.
I appeal to the commanders of air bases of the Russian Aerospace Forces and the heads of departments of the Far Eastern Military District supervising them.
WHAT OR WHOSE INSTRUCTIONS DO YOU NEED TO CREATE COVERS FOR OUR AIRCRAFT EQUIPMENT? WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? BY YOUR INACTION YOU ARE SUPPORTING THE ENEMY!
I realize that the creation of solid, underground or above-ground reinforced concrete shelters may be an issue that cannot be resolved at your level. At the same time, taking into account that the main damage to our aircraft comes from primary and secondary fragments formed after explosions of UAVs and enemy missiles, to preserve aircraft equipment in most cases, aluminum hangars or hangars made of sandwich panels will be sufficient (the price of one such hangar with an area of 12x6x45 meters less than 1 million rubles).
Moreover, given that the enemy receives the main information about the location of our aircraft from visual aerial reconnaissance (satellite and UAVs), hiding equipment in ANY hangars will make it difficult to organize attacks on our airfields.
Air base commanders, captains, DVKR employees and other military aviation personnel!
You are respected, well-known people in your regions, and our country is full of caring citizens. I am sure that when you approach governors, city mayors, businessmen and social activists with a request for help in the construction of hangars, you will not be refused.
DON'T BE SHY, DON'T WAIT FOR A COMMAND FROM ABOVE, DON'T EXPECT SOMEONE TO DO THIS FOR YOU AND SOLVE THIS PROBLEM!
Commanders of motorized rifle formations , battalion commanders and company units located near military airfields and other critical infrastructure facilities. It is within your authority to create mobile air defense groups. Refer to the enemy's experience, it is simple and effective. ONLY YOUR INITIATIVE IS REQUIRED!
COMRADE OFFICERS, NOBODY WILL DEFEND OUR COUNTRY FOR US.
We must be strong in the rear and at the front.
The future of our country and children depends on our action or inaction. In the New Patriotic War, as in the last two, we can only win together.”
At the colonel level, they know that nothing will work.
On your last line, did you mean that Putin is NOT happy, or he is SO happy?
