They must have had all remaining pilots go up with a KGB style enforcer to tag along to make sure you didnt defect. I guess threats to family would play a factor.

Yeah that’s what thermite grenades are for. But the burning background to the evacuation would not have been the optics that the big guy and his four star cronies wanted seen on TV…
So the less visible disabling probably left a lot of stuff that could be canibalized and cobbled together into a smaller amount of working items, plus spare parts.

Counter-loitering munition screens used by Ukrainian artillery crews :
Ukrainian 155mm Zuzana self-propelled howitzer which suffered a barrel failure, likely due to wear.
Another view of the Ukrainian workshop that shows a M113A3 in the foreground (along with a lonesome Lada Sagona/Samara ):

That would be a cracking Dio to do …
Looks to be a very used vehicle as it seems to have unit markings on it.
Weird - I though that was an ad - I get them all the time from Midway, Ranier Arms, Opticsplanet and others. Just curious why you posted it - ah, now I see. The soon to be dead Ruscist has one.

better than nothing, but not by much. I guess you could go Tasco.

Now now. It’s the poor craftsman who blames his tools. It wouldn’t matter what this guy uses. He’s probably been cremated by now. What a waste this whole conflict is.
I learned fast trying to run a Sightmark laser on my MP15. Would get it sighted in, and 5 shots later started drifting. How its being used I would throw ever dollar I have to spare into my sights. screw this off brand stuff unless airsoft or pellet shooting. I wouldnt believe that scope could handle the recoil after awhile.
That’s a pretty cheesy LPVO.
