It had the double tracks as I recall.  Plus, it was mentioned in the Disney Liki thread IRC as well.

Sweden suspects Russians of stealing road cameras for their drones
21 октября 2022
21


In Sweden, the loss of road cameras has become more frequent, which record violations of speed limits. Local intelligence agencies suspect Russians. According to the Aftonbladet newspaper, stolen cameras were later allegedly found in Russian drones that participate in the SVO in Ukraine. The Swedish State Security Service (SEPO) reports the loss of at least 100 cameras throughout the country. The same figure is indicated by the country's transport department.


The first case was recorded on August 27, when eleven speed control cameras disappeared immediately on the road connecting the cities of Tierp and Kharskamp, 100 km from Stockholm. Three days later, almost 50 more cameras were stolen on roads near the Swedish capital. In September, thefts continued, especially in the provinces of Dalarna and Estrikland. Several cameras disappear almost daily on the E16 highway between the cities of Falun and Hofors.

The Swedish State Security Service, based on a published Ukrainian video (screen screenshot is presented at the top), where a Canon camera was found inside the shot down drone Orlan-10, suspected the custom nature of electronic surveillance theft for sale by the Russian military. It is such cameras that are installed along Swedish roads to fix traffic violators. The cost of one road video recording system is about 250,000 SEK, which is equivalent to approximately 22,500 euros.

The press service of security officials has not yet given official comments, citing the impossibility of talking about the details of the intelligence work.

Soviet submarine K-3 being installed as a museum piece on Kronstadt in St. Petersburg.  This was the first nuclear Soviet submarine, named “Leninsky Komsomol” (“Lenin Communist Youth League”).  Sadly famous for 39 sailors dying as the result of a smoking accident in some auxilliary machine spaces…

With the reactor compartment already removed when decommissioned,  it was possible to easily break it in 1/2 to move it through town before starting re-assembly and refurbishing it.

Equipment graveyards - ones inside the Chernobyl exclusion zone.  The massive amount of equipment used in sealing off the burning reactor core couldn’t be re-used and had to stay inside the exclusion zone.  A lot were abandoned in place, but many collected in organized graveyards around the zone.

One of the larger graveyards, including massive Mi-6 heavy-lift helicopters used in bombing the core.

The idea was if the wheeled vehicle could not reach the capsule, the screw-drive could defeat any terrain to at least recover the crew.

In the EU every scrap processing plant is equipped with radiation detectors because of the radioactive scrap from eastern Europe.


A friend bought a surplus Zil truck, parts of the drivers cabin and the instruments were coated with fluorescent paint, he had to scrap the cabin entirely because the radiation was so high, it was hazardous to health.

So in summary, we can take whatever our #2 global adversary wants to do, and do it better, to an embarrassing degree. OK, noted.

This thread is seriously nutrient deficient. Which is sad, because I am committed to total nutrition the same way that Russia is convinced of their own racial cultural social political martial suppository superiority.

I know you and your posts, and respect you. But no. Russia has done a lot of things wrong, BUT:

Soviet Russia did do a lot of things right.  They broke centuries of slavery, sexism, etc. and set a talented people free.  They massively altered an impoverished, backward nation to great things. Marx/Lenin, in Russia and elsewhere, broke a feudal system to empower people.  Stalin and Mao bent that, to evil ends. I’m not a socialist by any means.  And Marx was an idiot, I’m not a Marxist.  But unleashing the talent of people previously suppressed, is cool.   Soviet Russia screwed up ends/means to a high degree, but produced cool stuff because of that.

I like this thread very much from 4xGM300m because it splits the difference.  You can celebrate Soviet positive things and separate the political poison.  That is how I have interpreted this thread/his intent. I really admire that and why I try to contribute, vs. how much hate we could otherwise feel.  Things are always difficult like that, when human nature is involved.

Full disclosure: not trying to speak for 4x, just trying to say how I feel.

This.

IMO, Soviet/Russian aesthetics are often horrible, but when they're not horrible they tend to be fascinating.  (Leaving just their performance as horrible).  But occasionally they hit home runs, like the AK, or the Makarov, RPK, or RPG-7.

Individual exceptional ism advanced despite the Soviet system not because of it.
The system was a parallel to feudalism not an advancement.
When it's the same thing but just different people in charge.
The great leap backward.
And you can't even claim they did it fairly because they murdered a much greater percentage of minority populations than white russian.
Furthermore, things may not have been rosy under the Czar, but he didn't murder millions of people.
(not "you" you just figuratively you)

There is nothing admirable about the communists, that system or its goals and modern American liberals/progressives/demorates are fucking stupid to think there is or that we will believe there is or that it will be different with them in charge.

Now all that blather being done, I do like interesting things even if they make or made no sense.
Which is why I am in this thread.

There are about four out of six things here grossly incorrect. Grossly.  Some is correct.  That is factual, not objective.

If you hate all thing Russian/Soviet, I’m sure you wouldn’t be in this thread.  If you want to derail it, then refrain from that and pm/em me to discuss. I won’t derail the thread further. I’m a very meat eating, right wing American, my commission hanging proudly on my wall.  Biggest life regret: went into medicine as a second career instead of getting to gun down hajis after 9/11.  I’m not a softy. But I am also a trained historian and objective, not reactive.  This thread is good without bringing politics into it.  There are other threads for that.  Let’s just do “stuff” like 4xGM300m intended.  I appreciate his intent.
