Boom goes the ammo.
As if driven by a Ghost Rider, the burning truck inexplicably drives off for some bizarre reason.
Someone was smoking in his car.

The sooner we send these to Ukraine the better. The GLSDB has a range of about 150 kilometers. Delivery could come in the spring.
It isn't ATACMS but it is longer-range than HIMARS.
Developed by Boeing in partnership with Saab of Sweden, each GLSDB round is a combination of two existing systems, the air-launched 250-pound GBU-39/B SDB with its pop-out wing set and the rocket motor from the 227mm-caliber M26 artillery rocket. The M26 is among the rocket types that can be fired from M270 Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS), and variants thereof, and the M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS). HIMARS is famously already in use with Ukraine, as are its tracked stablemate that fires the same ammunition, the M270 MLRS.
Propelled by the M26 rocket motor for the initial boost/loft phase, the GLSDB's wings are then deployed and it flies unpowered, as a glide bomb. It uses the GBU-39/B’s existing inertial navigation system and embedded GPS to guide it to its target. That guidance system not only ensures accuracy to within 3 feet, according to Saab, but is also resilient to electronic warfare jamming, something that is of particular concern in the Ukrainian conflict.
Russians are the animals in this scenario.
I’m amazed there isn’t a Russian word for fragging. Or maybe there is and I just haven’t heard it yet.
Speaking of poor attitudes among the troops.
I have no doubt that this will be made into a movie one day soon. Even the Dirty Dozen weren’t this scummy.
The beatings will continue until morale improves.
Can you blame the guy for wanting to wear the best gear available?
