So this is why the Syrians are shelling Israel

It’s just a pity that they can’t get into Belyash. It will be necessary to train the Syrian gunners. To first “fork”, and then to the center, so that the minced meat from the white meat jumped out. The smell of minced meat begins to annoy.

You just need to wash it, remove dandruff there and all that.

The 152-mm Msta-B cannon is the last in a long line of post-Soviet field-developed howitzers.

Damn, "Messenger of Mordovia" is losing qualifications. It’s good that mortars are a thing of the past ....

Damn, "Messenger of Mordovia" is losing qualifications. It's good that mortars are a thing of the past.
