1/ Following Ukraine's drone attacks on Russian airfields, the Russian Air Force is reported to have responded by ordering its personnel to build wire and mesh anti-drone shelters for aircraft – at their own expense. Naturally, the airmen aren't happy about this. ⬇️

2/ The Fighterbomber Telegram channel, known for its ties to the Russian Air Force, reports that there has been a flurry of overdue activity to protect airfields in Russia. However, as the channel says, "there is a nuance".

3/ "Telephone messages, orders and instructions to the troops began pouring in with demands to increase the quantity and quality of tires, Jedi swords per square metre. Increase vigilance, bury bombs a metre deeper and add another row of slabs on top. But this is not exact.

4/ "One interesting thing is that they finally made someone take responsibility and sent down a project of a standard shelter for equipment.

But naturally there is a nuance. You have to build it at your own expense. That is, from your own pocket, or go steal it somewhere or beg.

5/ "So basically nothing has changed, If this shelter falls on a helicopter from the wind and breaks something off, the cost will be charged to the one who built it. Because the aircraft mechanics and UAV drivers who will build these shelters are not very certified builders.

6/ "Not at all.

So everyone will pay for the shelter, and the designated unfortunate will pay for a broken helicopter.

Naturally, all this is in Laos.

Next comes news not even from Laos, but from the fictional country of Vanuatu.

7/ "In general, it is no secret that there is a lot of money in the country. And there is especially a lot of it in the Ministry of Defence today.

8/ "The same Vanuatu Aerospace Forces are allocated millions for all sorts of crap, which in theory would cover all the needs of the aviators, making our assistance of 600 million laughable and insignificant.

9/ "More was allocated for the repair of the barracks in Chekalda this year.

These are the so-called "limits". These are billions. Many billions. Which year after year return to the treasury unspent.

10/ "For the last three years they have been returned to the budget, while you and I are chipping in a hundred here and there.

Why?

The answer is simple.

Because these are billions. T̶h̶e̶r̶e̶ ̶i̶s̶ ̶s̶o̶m̶e̶t̶h̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶s̶t̶e̶a̶l̶.̶

11/ "Due to the fact that everyone wants to steal and help the country, all these big bosses cannot agree among themselves whose contractor will develop them.
Who will build these shelters of yours and so on.

12/ "Landscapers and florists from Chuvashia, or a heating installation company from Chita.

13/ "As soon as one of the bosses is successfully jailed, or transferred to another honorable job, then this obstacle will be removed, and shelters, equipment, gloves and everything else will start to grow like mushrooms after rain.

14/ "But this, of course, is also not certain.

In the meantime, hand over the fare f̵o̵r̵ ̵t̵h̵e̵ ̵s̵h̵e̵l̵t̵e̵r̵s̵."
