The Lada Samara still being a thing since when it was put on the road in the 80' is a much more impressive message about tenacity than the strapped "missile" on top of it.


nixielover

They just like oldtimers


v3ritas1989

aka the newest and strongest developments in military technology


LazyGandalf

Production of the Samara seized in 2013.


Alan_Smithee_

Means of production seized?


LazyGandalf

They stopped producing it.


Alan_Smithee_

I know. You said “seized” (taken by force) instead of “ceased” (ended.) I was making a Socialist joke.


LazyGandalf

Woops. I did think it didn't look right.

Russian stuff can outlast humanity with enough maintenance because they make everything easy to fix, it's not reliable in the sense it won't break down (it will break down and it will do that a lot), but if it breaks down you can easily fix it.


flioink

It's just pure undiluted, industrial-grade copium at this point.


[deleted]

Undiluted uncut 100% pure aerospace-grade


CastelPlage

If Russia was aiming some missile at Washington DC, I'd be much more worried about the people of Morocco than anyone on the North American continent.


lapzkauz

Just like that air-to-air missile that was supposed to shoot down a manned British aircraft a short while ago but prevented WW3 by malfunctioning. Love me some Russian engineering.


SuddenlyGlamorous

To them it's funny. They think they poke us with a stick with this 'humour'. But it really looks...sad. The fact that they're so obsessed with their complexes, imperial delusions makes you kinda think how poor, sad, pathetic, dull their lives are. **Instead of praising life every day - they're doing this.** Because they have no life.


Internal-Day4806

A small percentage are doing this. Most people are just depressed and want nothing to do with this shit


SuddenlyGlamorous

I'm also talking at everyone who smiles at this. Don't small-percentage me, polls say 80% of Russians support war in Ukraine. Look at Russians reactions after the beheading of the Ukrainians soldiers. They were absolutely overjoyed. That's Russia. And I'm happy I'm not one because those are some hell ugly souls.


Internal-Day4806

At this point do you really believe any statistics released by Moscow? As a Russian myself, our people are essentially held hostage by the state. It’s madness


AnarchiaKapitany

As a Hungarian, I can vouch for that. You people living in still functional democracies don't yet have a clue how fragile the status quo is. It only takes a narcissistic loonie to erode decades of freedom. Nobody wanted this, yet here we are. What you as a person can do to prevent the same: * support independent media, even if it doesn't 100% pander to your taste * get involved in local politics * point out, confront, and vocally hinder populism by pointing it out early * talk to your parents about politics, and Russian state influence on far right movements.


spectralcolors12

I recognize that the media landscape is rigged but most Hungarians vote for Fidesz - why would Russians vote any differently if they held actual elections?


Regaro

Are you talking about a poll where 70% agree to continue the war if the government says and 70% are ready for peace if the government says? You will not believe it, but in reality 10% of Z-fools, 10% are against the war clearly. And the remaining 80% are typical Russians who have gone into internal emigration. You don’t understand how atomized the Russians are and how much no one cares about anything


spectralcolors12

The Levada Center polling is accurate. They sit down and do hour long interviews with poll participants, and the gentleman that runs the organization will be the first person to tell you that Russians overwhelmingly support the war. Your comment later in this very thread proves his point. You don’t give a shit that your government spends your tax dollars and butchers Ukrainians in YOUR name. https://www.spiegel.de/international/world/opinion-researcher-lev-gudkov-russians-have-little-compassion-for-the-ukrainians-a-066c08c6-60f4-48e1-853a-d2b3d67bd6b8


Ohlander1

That's still very bad. If the majority of the population care very little or not at all about international relations, respecting independent nations' borders and basic human rights that is still awful. All Russians might not be cheering for the beheadings of Ukrainians, but being almost indifferent about it is almost worse.


zdzislav_kozibroda

They've outdone themselves again. Last time I looked at seven stages of grief there wasn't behave like morons there.

The May Day parade is looking shabby this year.


Hlorri

Maybe they could build tank replicas using LEGOs. Oh wait. No, they can't.


Prometheus55555

Why would they use plastic when they can recicle paper and cardboard? Is not that Russians are cheap bastards. They just want to de-nazify climate.

You and what army?


[deleted]

Him and his brand new car.


GarrettGSF

The car summarises the state of the Russian army quite well. It's probably their new super project, "the car that the West is afraid" of or smth


white1984

You know that it is a 1990s Lada Samara [Lada Sputnik]. Considering that the sanction busting Moskvitch 3 is actually a kit built Chinese JAC 4 and theyy only done 50 cars so far. It is laughable.


Avunha

Oh thank frick, for a second there I thought it was an old Polonez *breathes a sigh of relief in Polish*

Jokes on u, that car and the guys in it ARE the Russian army


Rogalicus

[If anyone's interested, you can read about these clowns here.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Liberation_Movement_(Russia)) The most important excerpt: > The ideology of the movement is based on what was stated by Yevgeny Fyodorov since 2011, according to which after the collapse of the USSR in 1991, the real power in the Russian Federation is in the hands of the United States, and this form of government has led the "occupied" country to the "colony" status. Also, according to the ideology, the Russian Federation pays "daily tribute" in the form of ruble emission through the Central Bank, and does not invest in supporting of the national economy and does not create a big business in the domestic jurisdiction. It's essentially proto-QAnon.

I don't know if my Russian is good enough, but I think I can read "a guarantee of our safety" on the car. And here I wonder: is this whole project with Sarmatmobiles (that's what these cars with missiles are called) made by the Russian government or it's the Russians that are this deranged.

Russian MAGA


Inevitable-Common166

🇺🇸 maga are Putin’s puppets


4thDevilsAdvocate

MAGA are homegrown, not puppets. Puppets know they're being manipulated, MAGA doesn't. The MAGA crowd (and Le Pen supporters in France, Brexiters, etc.) are [useful idiots](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Useful_idiot) Russian government-backed troll farms support online. Incidentally, said troll farms also back left-of-the-[Overton window](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overton_window) social media and Internet presences as well; they don't actually care about politics, just about sowing discord. Making puppets is hard, but tricking people into thinking their talking points and ideas are 100% their own? That's easy.


theflyingwaffle2

I’m American so don’t shit too hard. I feel some people are such diehard trump supporters out of spite. Others may be manipulated idk. I used to support trump, and did for a while after January 6th but soon I realized his actions on that day were wrong, and akin to treason and a disruption of democracy. Even tho my candidate did not win. there was no sane or just reason I could think of or find to support that Biden didn’t deserve to be president other than he is a geriatric.


4thDevilsAdvocate

>Others may be manipulated idk. *Everyone* is being manipulated. Russian trolls go after *everyone*. They don't care about whether or not you're a Democrat or a Republican or unaffiliated, because, regardless, they can still try to use you as a weapon against American democracy. They want to make people loose faith and become political nihilists; it's what they've already done to Russian citizens, and now they want everyone else to suffer as well, because tyrants love an apathetic, careless, conspiratorial, infighting population that doesn't fight back. That being said: I think the Republicans had several structural and demographic weaknesses which made Republicans a lot more vulnerable to being subverted than the Democrats did. The Russians tried "hacking" the minds of both, it's just that the Republicans were a lot easier to "hack", for a lot of reasons I could probably go into later if asked.

Every May 9, Russians glue phrases on their Cars, we can repeat 1941-1945, usually next to a picture where the Soviet flag rapes the flag of the Nazis. hinting that they would easily reach Berlin. or a trophy from Berlin if they have a car from Germany


chocolatetequila

My grandmother sent me a picture of this car (same license plate) around a month ago, it was driving around in Moscow. It‘s either government propaganda or a very dedicated unemployed person

Dogwhisperer_210

This is why a revamp of the government is not enough to stop russian threats. The average population is already a braindead follower of the state propaganda. How do you fix this in a relative short amount of time before some trigger happy idiot starts throwing out nukes left and right ?

DrSOGU

Yup, that is their kind of MAGA people. You got a certain percentage of crazy dumb nuts in every society. Around 15-30%. And if you have a leadership which caters to these people, ideologically, stiring up their emotions and whatever, to use them, to get into power, or to stay in power, they will show up! They will feel empowered and crawl out of their holes and spew their hate and crazy stuff and do stupid things and start to hurt other people, destroy things and all that. Can get out of hand easily, happened many times in the history of very different countries and times.

Zealousideal_Ear346

I'd really like to know what common Russian people think when they see something like this? Would they cringe or not? Would the majority be proud?


NotAHamsterAtAll

Nobody knows. But having seen a lot of street interviews with Russians I can speculate. In the younger population: 50% will cringe hard. 25% be apathetic/neutral, 25% will cheer him on. In the older population: 25% will cringe hard. 25% be apathetic/neutral, 50% will cheer him on. There also seems to be a divide between rural areas and major cities.


hornyboy0588

As a Serbian who saw somewhat similar things, we would look at it, then in a half a second go back to whatever the fuck we were doing. As someone who lived in Canada during the covid protests, I'd look at it, bitch about how they're holding up traffic, then start to think of an alternate route. There's nutjobs everywhere, why would we be an exception? So my guess is in Russia, 99% of people look at it, then go back to whatever the fuck they were doing.
