Snakes:
Here in Sweden we have vipers, their bite can be dangerous to small kids and those with poor health.
My older sister got bitten a few years ago and the doctors advice was to avoid heavy work and pulse raising exercises for a few days and to call back if she felt any symptoms.

Spiders: No poisonous ones.
Wasps: Real pests, only dangerous for those who are allergic or if you swallow one and get stung inside the throat. They like to climb into open soda cans …

Fish: Nothing poisonous

Plants: A few that are poisonous

Mushrooms: A few really dangerous ones

:nauseated_face: :face_vomiting:…maggots galore

Ive watched a few too many videos today showing all the gear the Russians have left behind. If you cant take it with you wouldnt you destroy it?
I can imagine Ukraine giving back many of the shells via airmail!
But leaving a warehouse full of munitions is just plain dumb.

Wow, I’ll I can say is wow

I think it’s a mix of…no discipline, low morale, hurry ,old school army rules (you dont do anything until someone from the top tells to do so) and a good old fashioned “i dont care”

It’s only an illustrative picture. :wink: I guess those sent to Ukraine should look similar.

Apart from the rare Italeri 1/35, no one else produces this Avenger now?

Yes but they are all the same plastic.

It was also available from Zvezda but that one seems to be just as difficult to find.
The Zvezda product number was 3576 but many years later they re-used that number for their Hummer with man portable Stinger missiles
