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

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.

And 1871 was also an embarassment, and 1830, and 1821 et cetera. Napoleon was a short reprieve from several centuries of humiliating defeats.

One if the Iowa class battleships has a donut shop. It's not Missouri or New Jersey.

That's classified information

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.

They’d need Russian ones

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

You dont need to spend big... it only needs to make a 1 way trip.

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.

[–] Lumisal@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

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

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.

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

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.

Why is only the truck in euros
