I am currently trading quips about “The Great Race” with a person on bsky who is a gender anarchist and so I not only have no idea what their bits are I TOTALLY DO NOT CARE BECAUSE WE’RE YELLING WELCOME TO BORRACHO HONEY AT EACH OTHER AND HAVING VIRTUAL PIE FIGHTS.

While any tank can be temperamental, the list of malfunctions Kochevnik was dealing with might speak to inconsistent workmanship at Uralvagonzavod’s factories.
A Russian who gave his name as Aleksander Anatolevich, who clearly was unaware that Kochevnik is a Ukrainian soldier, promised he’d bring up the problems with the design bureau in Nizhny Tagil—and that he’d also contact the engine-manufacturer in Chelyabinsk.
Kochevnik wasn’t done trolling. He also got ahold of Andrey Abakumov, a Uralvagonzavod director. Abakumov asked Kochevnik to describe the tank’s problems in detail on WhatsApp.
That’s when Kochevnik finally revealed he’s Ukrainian, and his army had captured the problematic T-72 around Izium late last year.
Laughing, Kochevnik ended the call.
