 9S32-1 "GRILL PAN" multi-channel guidance radar  A last ditch attempt was made OTD in 1942 to rescue the ill-conceived KV-7 assault tank. The 152 mm ML-20 replaced the dual 76 mm gun mount. The project was rejected, but the work inspired the SU-152 shortly after |

I noticed that the vodka bottles are smaller, like the size of beer bottles, and someone pointed out that over there they drink vodka like it’s beer. A drinking contest between Russians & Sioux would be a lot of fun until we started killing each other. Two cultures with massive alcoholism issues & long-held inferiority complexes trading shots for shots? What could possible go wrong? |
