Konstantin Korsun: “- So, here’s the deal: the kitty’s empty, the crew’s nervous... One way out — screw the suckers, milk them more and feed them less!”
- Excuse me, Mr. Minister of Economy, do you have any other ideas for resolving the budget crisis?”
That’s roughly how the statement from the technical (Carl!) director of “Fraer Pont,” Madame Terekh, sounds. She’s trying hard to position herself as a “MILF” (although she doesn’t really reach that lofty status) and regularly spouts pseudo-technological nonsense in various interviews.
What is this about? This time the misunderstanding in glasses revealed the following, I quote: “We are not planning cruise missiles today. We started developing ballistics before the cruise missile. … Let’s do this for now, let’s do something simpler, something we understand better, something we have more experience with. That’s how ‘Flamingo’ appeared. And it was much more important as a political statement than some super-duper wunderwaffe. The stakes of a super-duper wunderwaffe were never placed on it. The bets were on showing our enemy that we can reach him where he does not expect us.”
This epochal quote indicates several things at once: 1) official confirmation of the fakery of “Flamingo” and of FP’s developments in general — something specialists have repeatedly pointed out; 2) at minimum — wasteful spending on weapon development, at maximum — massive embezzlement on “fake-mingos”; 3) an attempt to copy the Moscow tsardom’s communication tactic of “appearing rather than being”; 4) they ultimately failed to “show the enemy” anything — except their cardboard worthlessness and that the enemy should not fear the Ukrainian defense industry.
This quote also demonstrates the personal intellectual primitiveness of a person who ought to be super-smart — after all, she essentially holds the position of chief engineer of Ukraine’s main weapon. Meanwhile tonight another batch of cruise and ballistic missiles hit Kyiv — with no “oh we’ll show you our political statement.” The swampy manufacturers of real, deadly missiles don’t give interviews through the mouths of excitable young women. They just kill us.
Notably: youth and inexperience, combined with the Dunning-Kruger effect, prevent the lady from FP from even realizing that she publicly sat in a puddle (to put it mildly).
Let me remind you that the rocket widely advertised by the shtirlermen-Zelensky people with that fun name ‘Flamingo’ and epic footage of their launches into nowhere is precisely a “cruise missile.”
And now it turns out that “we are not planning cruise missiles today.” Um, does that mean you were lying to our faces all this time? And if so — maybe all the other promises were just “morning dew”? And all future ones will be the same? So we were consciously lied to, and now the government retainers publicly confirm it with a condescending smile?
Won’t those girls in six months ironically say the same thing: “we never planned to develop ballistic missiles — it was just to scare the enemy who kills us every day”? That’s how it looks, right?
And the true level of technical expertise of the boys and girls from FP is evidenced by the information they themselves publicly spread, that to protect the components of their drones from icing they use… ordinary salo (pork fat).
How can an unstable biological material protect video cameras from low temperatures? At minimum it distorts their optics and negates the whole point of using them. And how will salo protect battery packs from the cold? WTF? What kind of nonsense is this for suckers? And they themselves published this information publicly.
Back when, at the end of 80-s I began training at the military aviation-engineering school, they already told us about how warrant officers siphoned off and stole the alcohol-water mixture for the MiG-25, intended for automatic spraying on aerodynamic surfaces to protect against icing. The absurd idea of using household food products to solve complex engineering problems in the defense sector never even occurred to true aviation engineers.”
