If they ever get a dime of it.
I assume this was a large amount of ammonium nitrate fertilizer that exploded.
My mother operates a camp for homeless veterans, so I know how bad the US sucks at taking caring of its vets.
This move is sure to cause discord.
If it was remotely controlled or autopiloted, it's classified as a UAV.
It appears that this was a weird and tragic mistake according to an update. Real grenades were put in with a bottle of whiskey as a joke. Since it was a new type of grenade, he didn't realize they were real.
Update:
More information from law enforcement officers on the tragedy with Chastyakov.
The details of the death of Zaluzhny's assistant Gennady Chastyakov, who died from a hand grenade as a result of an accident, have emerged.
According to law enforcement sources, the grenades were part of a "gift set" presented to him on his birthday by his colleague, Colonel Timchenko. He has already testified that he himself decided to make such a gift, placing a bottle of "Black Label" whiskey and 6 pomegranates in a wooden box.
This was confirmed by three witnesses during which the colonel handed over the gift. He even said to Chastyakov: "It's hard to surprise you - that's why I'm giving you combat grenades and a bottle of good whiskey."
Obviously, Chastyakov took it as a joke. Because later he took the children from school and began to sort out gifts with them. He thought that in the box were not combat grenades, but glasses of a specific shape.
By the way, Timchenko kept two grenades for himself. The photo shows how they look. Journalist Andrii Tsaplienko.
It's an image translation.
Hamas went in and massacred civilians and took hostages. Zelenskyy can clearly emphathize with Israel at this point in time without any further motivation necessary.
These are Russian government offices after close. That's sort of a false equivalence.
The ground speed rose very quickly before it disappeared, so it may have just defected from the air.
