"Mines for Putin"
"An entire field of World War II-era anchored mines was discovered during a security sweep conducted ahead of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s visit to Gogland Isle in July for a underwater ceremony mounting a plaque on a hull of the sunken Sch-308 Syomga [Pike] submarine. The submarine, commissioned in 1933, disappeared while on a mission in 1942. Overall in 2019, sappers neutralized over 7,000 explosive devices [naval sea mines]."
UXB [unexploded ordnance] Baltic. As within context of a prior recent blog entry.
HOW HUMILIATING WOULD IT BE TO LOSE THE PRESIDENT OF YOUR COUNTRY TO A NAVAL SEA MINE AS WAS ANCHORED IN PLACE NEARLY SEVENTY YEARS AGO! AND SEVEN THOUSAND RECENTLY FOUND AND NEUTRALIZED. HOW MANY MORE OUT THERE?
WARNING! War can be dangerous to your health. Even in a time of peace.
