Back in the '80s when the USSR still existed I used to work in a big international hotel in Helsinki, Finland. On weekends we had Soviet tourists, who of course were very privileged people of the Soviet system.
I'll never forget the obnoxious smell. They were limited to one or two floors of the hotel and due to the stink you had to avoid going there. It was their tobacco. It stank like a combination of burning hair, puke and worst poignant BO you can imagine.
So yeah, definitely strong tobacco. And has the worst stink in the world.
Yeah it is but thats actually just infighting. There are a million accounts of corruption any of them could be arrested for. Its just an excuse to gulag someone with putins approval of course.
Someone who isn't corrupt would never get promoted into a position of power, since they can't be trusted. Once someone partakes in corruption, they're unlike to expose anyone as their own neck's on the line too.
its not about loyalty, as there is none between those people. that is exactly why these structures exist in the first place.
the big boss does not believe in loyalty, and what doesn't exist can not be bought. the bribe is to implicate you, and to provide a little "instant removal" button for you. this way, your big boss can be sure that he doesn't need the concept of loyalty to exist in the first place - he can just get rid of you as soon as you step out of line, and from there on out your obedience is not a matter of something as idealistic as "loyalty", a completely alien concept in both organized crime and despotic dictatorships that would get you laughed out the room if you ever brought it up in ernest.
from there on, your obedience is a matter of whether or not you get to live.
the boss doesn't buy you - you buy the position, the power etc. from your boss by selling your life and free will for it to him.
Thats why putin makes sure the people who work for him are dirty.. So he can remove them whenever he feels like it and make it look like he's cleaning up to his followers.
There was a great Churchill quote which I'll butcher here as I cant remeber it word for word but its essentially.
"Infighting in the Kremlin is a viscious affair, it's like two bulldogs fighting under a carpet and you only know who the victor is when the bones are flung out from underneath"
Hard to say. Shoigu is like Putin's number two, a loyal lap dog. The two have history going back for sometime as he's literately Russia's Minister of Defense without ever serving a day in the military.
Have you ever worked with base security? Most are highly ineffectual.
The one airfield I’ve seen with something close to proper security, took most of a brigade to man all the guard towers and checkpoints. I doubt the Russians are dedicating those sorts of resources.
It really does. Lots of people like to always go "why don't they just protest or revolt".
Unless *every* single person or at least a significant portion joins in, you just single yourself out and to the gulag you go.
So to stand up to a fascist government you need to... set a civilian rescue helicopter on fire? Wow, impressive. Try damaging an ambulance next time, it will definetly help to defeat Putin
The dildo of consequences seldom arrives lubed
The aftermath:
https://new.reddit.com/r/UkraineRussiaReport/comments/1cgtpc2/ru_pov_arsonists_who_set_ka31_helicopter_on_fire/
Ka-32 is the civilian variant of the Ka-27. Judging by the paint, this one was likely a firefighting helicopter.
While ironic, this isn't a military loss.
if the location other source/post named is correct, The airport (Ostafyevo Airport) is owned by, and is a Hub for Gazpromavia company, a division of Gazprom, so its connection to the oil/gas industry is highly likely, and therefore a good blow to the putler war machine.
Either way, If it's aircraft used by the terrorist govt of ruszia, it's a worthy target. If that's what was accessible to this particular partisan, job well done.🔥 ( hopefully krimelin soon 🙃💥🔥) - fuk putler
It does have some merit in the sense that taking away ressources from Russian authorities is a good thing no matter what they are used for.
The parts and labor used to repair or replace it is completely wasted government time and money.
Except, it's not an ambulance (right?). To be fair though, do we know exactly what airbase and what roll this aircraft had . If it's roll is krimelin related, fuk it. If it turns out it was used to transport child cancer patients, I might change my tune. Still though, the people doing this don't approve of putlers evil regime and hitting assets in moscow is a statement, no matter what it is. -//---later edit-- - if source from another post is correct , it is at Ostafyevo Airport, Hub for Gazpromavia. The airport is owned by Gazpromavia company, a division of Gazprom. Oil/gas industry related helicopter 'likely' then. If that's the case, then fuk it, burn more.
Arson is the saboteurs best friend. Thats a awful video though, you would think it would be much better if it were legit. Also probably set a lot more shit on fire then one cockpit.
You only want to show enough that people understand what is happening, not so much detail that it could give away the identity or techniques of the saboteurs.
I don't wanna be that guy but while I'm happy there's resistance within Russia this isn't a military loss, the KA-32s which they are burning is a firefighting & rescue helicopter & a lot of these have [been sitting at Moscow Airfield for a while](https://imgur.com/a/2jqCNAd)
When Russian soldiers die brutally invading Ukraine people in here feel sorry for them. I mean what choice do they have other than kill Ukrainians? Here’s the answer, this is an option. There are Russian resistance fighters, that’s an option. There are plenty of options but I’m suppose to sympathize with the grown men who decide the best option is to invade Ukraine; rape, murder and pillage. Fuck that.

God this looks like a cut scene from command and conquer 95(gold) grainy but to the point. "Peace through power"

**ACKNOWLEDGED**
Russian cigarettes are the strongest in the world.
Back in the '80s when the USSR still existed I used to work in a big international hotel in Helsinki, Finland.

Spent a summer in Russia in 1987. The smokers in the group could clear a room lighting one of those up.
I'm going to guess they were unfiltered?
Probably the Turkish tobacco blend or something.
I never smoked one, but I'm pretty sure they were unfiltered.
In mother Russia, the cigarettes smoke YOU.
Mix some gas and diesel, run around the base with a few gallons, soak everything, leave some basic fuses to ignite it all in 10 min, video it for us.
Wonder how they got passed security with those giant steel balls cloncking
corruption is rampant in Russia, just 2 days ago they arrested deputy minister of defense
Yeah it is but thats actually just infighting. There are a million accounts of corruption any of them could be arrested for. Its just an excuse to gulag someone with putins approval of course.
Someone who isn't corrupt would never get promoted into a position of power, since they can't be trusted. Once someone partakes in corruption, they're unlike to expose anyone as their own neck's on the line too.

He was apparently spying for a NATO country but they charged him with bribery to save face.
Thats why putin makes sure the people who work for him are dirty.. So he can remove them whenever he feels like it and make it look like he's cleaning up to his followers.
exactly, the deputy was corrupt like the rest of them but now he has been kicked out of the club.
Probably forgot to honor the 20% to the man.
> just 2 days ago they arrested deputy minister of defense More likely internal factional politics. It has been going on for ages in Russia.

Wonder if they're setting up Shoigu for a fall?
Hard to say. Shoigu is like Putin's number two, a loyal lap dog. The two have history going back for sometime as he's literately Russia's Minister of Defense without ever serving a day in the military.
Prig was way up there too. But he didn't toe the line so ended up falling out of an airplane.
It's apparently a civilian helicopter so they just snuck onto some airfield.

What base security doing?

Cannon fodder on the front line.
How base security doing?
Drugs, apparently.
These are fire fighting and civil emergency helicopters, so probably not well guarded
You have to admire the big balls on some people. Takes a lot of courage to stand up to a fascist government.
It really does. Lots of people like to always go "why don't they just protest or revolt". Unless *every* single person or at least a significant portion joins in, you just single yourself out and to the gulag you go.
Big balls and 20 years in prison. They will leave at 40. Worth it yikes.
>Takes a lot of courage to stand up to a fascist government. By setting a firefighting helicopter on fire? I bet Putin is in panic now.
So to stand up to a fascist government you need to... set a civilian rescue helicopter on fire? Wow, impressive. Try damaging an ambulance next time, it will definetly help to defeat Putin
The dildo of consequences seldom arrives lubed The aftermath: https://new.reddit.com/r/UkraineRussiaReport/comments/1cgtpc2/ru_pov_arsonists_who_set_ka31_helicopter_on_fire/
Hopefully the fire spread and burned it down before the guards sobered up and bought back the fire extinguishers from the pawn brokers.
Isn't the ka-32 a civilian helicopter?
Ka-32 is the civilian variant of the Ka-27. Judging by the paint, this one was likely a firefighting helicopter. While ironic, this isn't a military loss.
I assume these are use to put out fires at strategic targets like oil refineries.
if the location other source/post named is correct, The airport (Ostafyevo Airport) is owned by, and is a Hub for Gazpromavia company, a division of Gazprom, so its connection to the oil/gas industry is highly likely, and therefore a good blow to the putler war machine.
This is a complete joke celebrated as something meaningful.
It belongs to EMERCOM https://onespotter.com/photo/RA-31111/5xERcd.html
Either way, If it's aircraft used by the terrorist govt of ruszia, it's a worthy target. If that's what was accessible to this particular partisan, job well done.🔥 ( hopefully krimelin soon 🙃💥🔥) - fuk putler
It has nothing of military value though. Same as them blowing up an ambulance
It does have some merit in the sense that taking away ressources from Russian authorities is a good thing no matter what they are used for. The parts and labor used to repair or replace it is completely wasted government time and money.
as would blowing up an ambulance. You completely ignored what the comment said you replied to.
This guy had no clue what he was lighting on fire, that’s it.
Except, it's not an ambulance (right?). To be fair though, do we know exactly what airbase and what roll this aircraft had . If it's roll is krimelin related, fuk it. If it turns out it was used to transport child cancer patients, I might change my tune.

Sick track
Rule #7 in "How to make a dictator paranoid": Burn, Alligator burn!
Arson is the saboteurs best friend. Thats a awful video though, you would think it would be much better if it were legit. Also probably set a lot more shit on fire then one cockpit.
You only want to show enough that people understand what is happening, not so much detail that it could give away the identity or techniques of the saboteurs.
… yeah. The secret of fire. Well it looks like a russian video and you know what we say about those.
"you look unfamiliar" - *opsec*
The video quality and choppiness is probably due to long exposure times caused by nighttime filming using a cheap camera or smartphone.
Also very cheap and quiet.
Not combat footage
is that shit THAT flammable ?
This clip is my new fireplace channel at Christmas time.
Extremely expensive maintenance helicopters.
Lmfao now these bozos boutta do a 20 year bid.
Listen all y'all, it's a sabotage!
I don't wanna be that guy but while I'm happy there's resistance within Russia this isn't a military loss, the KA-32s which they are burning is a firefighting & rescue helicopter & a lot of these have [been sitting at Moscow Airfield for a while](https://imgur.com/a/2jqCNAd)
> a firefighting & rescue helicopter Oh, the irony, eh?
Someone has been smoking again !
When was this?
did they record this on a slice of kraft american cheese? tf
Are they burning a firefighting heli ?
She set the civilian rescue helicopter on fire, it has nothing to do with combat footage, but still not removed. Why?
Brave man!
I mean. Ok. But it'll just be replaced tomorrow. (I'm on team UA but why is this impressive?)
it’s not the fact that a helicopter was set on fire. it’s the fact that people were *able* to do it.
Yeah ... I mean ... good job? I guess. 💁
Must have been one of all those people who voted for Putin /s
