international and Russian laws are good, but is it worth declaring the place of death of enemy objects as military graves, then they didn’t come here for a picnic, but to kill our grandfathers and grandmothers (both of my grandmothers were teenagers in besieged Leningrad) we need to keep a memory of these scum only to prevent this from happening in the future (especially considering what happens to military graves and monuments in Poland, etc.)

Monuments, this is true, only it’s for show, events such as searching and raising the found equipment need to be broadcast live, instead of showing unnecessary TV shows, because you need to learn from your past, and not from worthless tales called the series, from which often and it makes no sense.

About the state, not a word, we can raise something there especially not much ...

we can there and then pick up not so much ...

Likely. The depth is shallow, which means a fair amount of oxygen, ice shifts in the spring, the enthusiasm of the population, all this leaves no hope that a small exhibit will turn out from the raised rubbish. To restore this vulture, of course, is possible, but it will require enormous resources and labor.

The remains are pushed abroad, as it was already a hundred times.
It's funny that before this, Mr. cut the packs after the war, and now every piece of iron on the market is estimated at hundreds of dollars.

Over the hill, collectors pay a lot of money for authentic World War II technique. Leading aviation technology, the highest price tag. And if in flight condition ... The price ends with six zeros. Pictured is the authentic Xe-111CASA 2.111D in flight.

It seems like the last He-111 in the USA crashed several years ago. The one in the photo (with a red "G" c not native engines (this is the English Rolls-Royce- "Merlin")

[novobranets]

May be. In the article, he was positioned as the only original, but the topic there is so vague that one cannot be completely sure.

Not everything is so simple. ©
In the photo - a reconnaissance vehicle based on the He-111, a post-war construction, of Spanish production (more precisely, assemblies) - CASA 2.111D. And for the "Spaniard" these engines are in some sense "native", since the original German engines mined by all means were not enough for all cars. And at first they wanted to put the French “Spanish-Suisés” on the others, but in the end they settled on the British “Merlins”.
EMNIP, this car crashed in 2003.

Why is this necessary? Why spend money from the budget of the Russian Federation on this nonsense, in the Russian Federation that there are no more important problems?

[Warrior with machine gun]

problems must be solved, and for this we need to work, and this is more difficult than dealing with nonsense and taking money.

[axiles100682]

Above all, it’s training and advanced training for divers and all auxiliary services. Why train on some specially flooded barge, it’s better to lift a plane or which ship from the Second World War to inspect. This is enough at the bottom of the Baltic.

Absolutely right. Work underwater - this is the best type of combat training for a diver. And the money spent on this is only those that are assigned for combat training.
