This photo is one of those internet photo shop fakes.
Its not from the Ukraine, its actually a picture of the last time my wife tried to backup into the garage.

PS: don’t mention I said that, she is still alittle sensitive…

Seen this many times now and wonder:
Is this a “Dont shoot me in the butt” Body Armor.
Or a “Dont want my butt wet when I sit down”
I assume the later, maybe like for camping / outdoor sporting events.

I agree it’s for comfort. There’s an old British Army saying “anyone can be uncomfortable” and I imagine most armies have their version of it.

probably sat in one place for a year or so, and the seals on the out board hubs took a set and are no longer in complete contact with the spindle. Alas, all is not lost here. After a couple weeks of running around they’ll limber up again and regain full contact. At least somebody in the motor pool had enough sense to grease the wheel bearings.

The Russian tank pictured above accidentally fell into the river and the crew drowned. Some of the bodies were still inside when the Ukrainians retrieved it…

and about three steps from a complete melt down. Doubt anybody got out of that thing alive

kinda surprised that it didn’t have a winch on both ends. That crane looks a little on the light duty side for pulling large trucks; let alone something tracked.

yep there is a London just about 20 miles north east of me right on Sugar Creek. I go fishing over there a little bit. There’s also a Moscow Indiana. A very unusual place as most folks around there are Old Order Amish, but a good place to fish. Southern Indiana has a large German / American population, and many towns will have Germanic names given to them.

guys that like to turkey hunt use them all the time. They are a foam rubber that insulates your butt from the wet cold ground. Plus they help to keep your bottom side dry

I now know for sure that the famous Zorro never died! He used to go around cutting “Z’s” with his sword. Now he’s gone modern and is using a spray can!
