Claiming there's no kettle on a british carrier is peak non-credibility.

[–] huppakee 14 points 1 day ago (2 children)

The claim is the aircraft carrier didn't come with one included though

I believe all British combat vehicles are required to have full tea making facilities internally. I'm honestly not sure if it's extended to warships or not. It would be remedied VERY quickly however, if not.

I would imagine so, IIRC fr*nch (🤢) warships all have bread making facilities on board

[–] cynar@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

The British one came from WW2. German snipers realised that British tanks would stop for tea. At the time, they had to get out to make it. Newer tanks then required internal tea making facilities, so they couldn't be picked off by snipers.

The french bread thing also says something about the culture.

Fyi, the French were terrifying in war for a long time. It just happened that the last 2 big wars had them in a bad position.

That's classified information

Adding kettle and toaster must have been taught by the British.

I just want to say that the fact that Ukraine was able to pull off the operation using trucks deep in Russia means that Ukraine has moles in Kremlin. That means there are still significant numbers of Russians who are opposed to Putin, which is great.

What's nicer to think of is Putin just know this and is now living in Paranoia hell.

is this the russian aircraft carrier he's sitting next to?

[–] Carmakazi@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I thought there was at least a mildly significant partisan movement in Russia for years now. Some of the sabotage that has been going on was reported as such. I recall a Russian partisan company straight up defecting to Ukraine.

Most Russians would not dare to publicly opppse Putin though. Kremlin do assassinations of opposition and/or killing family members. The best that these opposition could do is clandestine, which involves spying for Ukraine or sabotaging as you mentioned.

You can add a zero to the price of that lorry. 39000€ will barely get you a Golf these days.

The average (median) price of trucks fluctuated in 2024. It started the year at a relatively high $16,000, before gradually declining to $11,400 in June

They're much cheaper in Ukraine, random source.

[–] ohulancutash@feddit.uk 7 points 1 day ago

They’d need Russian ones

And the drone launch system probably wasn't cheap either.

[–] RickyRigatoni@retrolemmy.com 10 points 1 day ago

Why is only the truck in euros

Every one of those is beautiful
