Russian soldier destroys armored vehicle trying to cook rations - Sensationalist Headlines

[URL]http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5262279/Soldier-destroys-armoured-vehicle-trying-cook-rations.html[/URL] [QUOTE] A conscript cost the Russian army a £365,000 lunch bill after he lit a fire to cook his meal - causing his BTR-82 armoured infantry vehicle to go up in flames. Shamed soldier Semen Merezhnikov was immediately given a foul-mouthed dressing down by his furious officer. The shellshocked conscript blurted that he had been trying to cook his canned food rations by making a fire while stationed in Crimea, the Black Sea peninsula annexed by Vladimir Putin from Ukraine in 2014. The video caught his stuttering explanation as he clutched his burning hand-held grenade launcher which also caught fire when his lunch ignited into an inferno of flames and black smoke destroying the armoured vehicle.

[/B] In all seriousness, the camo netting and dried leaves on the vehicle must have combusted very quickly. I'm a bit confused why he was trying to cook his rations so close to the vehicle, though.

[QUOTE=ViralHatred;53048596]The Semen got mouthed down? What the fuck kind of world do we live in when a guy can get named [i]semen[/i]?[/QUOTE] At least he didn't have a last name that would make it that much worse

"you see comrade Ivan, when you cook ration like comrade Semen you can't go anywhere and you have more time to eat ration!"

I thought the Russian army had flameless ration heaters by now?

[QUOTE=mecaguy03;53048731]I thought the Russian army had flameless ration heaters by now?[/QUOTE] "You see Ivan, when using open flame, you will always cook the accurate for fear of burning down armored vehicle."

[quote]while stationed in Crimea, the Black Sea peninsula annexed by Vladimir Putin from Ukraine in 2014.[/quote] Hold the fucking phone. So now we're just fucking admitting it outright huh?

This is something I'd expect from FP Arma.

[QUOTE=mecaguy03;53048731]I thought the Russian army had flameless ration heaters by now?[/QUOTE] I've bought some IRP rations recently and they still come with hexamine stoves and storm matches

[QUOTE=Bradyns;53048846]This is something I'd expect from FP Arma.[/QUOTE] I've done worse tbh. Blowing up an apc with no casualties is child's play.

[QUOTE=F.X Clampazzo;53048832]Hold the fucking phone. So now we're just fucking admitting it outright huh?[/QUOTE] ??? [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annexation_of_Crimea_by_the_Russian_Federation"]They officially annexed Crimea in 2014[/URL]. It's taking part in eastern Ukraine that they're denying.

[QUOTE=F.X Clampazzo;53048832]Hold the fucking phone. So now we're just fucking admitting it outright huh?[/QUOTE] It's not like people were really denying that it was invaded, it's just observed as an illegal move like when they absorbed the Baltic states as the Soviet Union.

[QUOTE=F.X Clampazzo;53048832]Hold the fucking phone. So now we're just fucking admitting it outright huh?[/QUOTE] Like it or don't, Crimea is ours. (not that I like it nor did I want it to be ours)

[QUOTE=]Merezhnikov was sent to a 'penal army detachment' for a six months sentence as 'punishment' for his carelessness.[/QUOTE] Damn, sucks to be this dude. Hope it wasn't too rough.

[QUOTE=Toybasher;53048593]I'm a bit confused why he was trying to cook his rations so close to the vehicle, though.[/QUOTE] Probably freezing his balls off and trying to keep warm himself.

[QUOTE=TestECull;53049100]Probably freezing his balls off and trying to keep warm himself.[/QUOTE] He may be able to survive by burning more APCs.

[QUOTE=ViralHatred;53048596]The Semen got mouthed down? What the fuck kind of world do we live in when a guy can get named [i]semen[/i]?[/QUOTE] Think that's bad? Awhile back, I heard about a US Navy recruit, last name Guzzler. Thing about the Navy is, every rank below E-4 is some variation of Seaman. So, Seaman Guzzler. :v:

[QUOTE=damnatus;53049064]Like it or don't, Crimea is ours. (not that I like it nor did I want it to be ours)[/QUOTE] According to what statute or condition? The historical ownership argument absolutely is not an argument. Then where do you draw the line? Why won't Russia then cede control of the vast majority of itself to whatever distant descendants of the Golden Horde in the steppes since, you know, historically most of the Russian territories beyond the Urals belonged to them anyway, right? But nah, I imagine you don't like going down that alley, do you? Hell, why isn't Crimea given back to the Crimean Tatars and left alone? Here in Estonia you get your ass kicked for implying we "belonged" to Russia.

First 'e' in his name reads as 'e' in bear and second one reads as 'ea' in learn.

[QUOTE=Trebgarta;53049800]Tatars really have no claim. They are done & gone. It is either Ukraine's de jure claim or Russia's ethnic claim.[/QUOTE] The ~240 000 tatars deported from Crimea under Beria's guidance as arguably some sort of collective punishment would have disagreed with you. Not only were they subjected to ethnic cleansing from Crimea, they were not even allowed to return until some indeterminate date alongside the onset of the Perestroika era. And nothing lost was spoken of again, much less compensated. Ethnically cleansing an entire culture from a region and then claiming that these people have no ethnic claim to their own lands is some comical supervillain tier shit.

Remember, this is the same nation ([I]effectively[/I]) who lost several t34s in WW2 due to lighting fires under the engine blocks to try and warm them. As it would turn out, lighting fires in and around vehicles isn't a good idea.

[QUOTE=just-a-boy;53049764]According to what statute or condition? [/QUOTE] According to the fact that, other than some sanctions imposed, everybody stopped giving a shit.

idk why they spelt it as Semen instead of Semyon. Must be on purpose :v:

[QUOTE=ViralHatred;53048596]The Semen got mouthed down? What the fuck kind of world do we live in when a guy can get named [i]semen[/i]?[/QUOTE] A world where English isn't the only language on the planet?

[QUOTE=ViralHatred;53048596]The Semen got mouthed down? What the fuck kind of world do we live in when a guy can get named [i]semen[/i]?[/QUOTE] The proper pronunciation of that name is "Semyon".
