   Two Russian teenagers burned and destroyed an Mi-8 military helicopter at an airport using flammable liquid and cigarettes, according to reports.

8. The fact that a bunch of kids can just walk up to a military helicopter at an airport shows what a fuckin mess that country is.

9. Two hours later, you know where I was found

   Yo Poo-tin I ain’t foolin’ around with your rule
   Cause everybody knows that smokin’ ain’t allowed in school

10. Good kids 👍🏻

11. Looks like the kids won a free trip to the front

12. If russia is stealing Ukrainian children, can we be sure it’s not karma?

13. How many of these have they lost? How many do they still have? And how many are airworthy?

14. There should be more rewards given to saboteurs in Russia for carrying out attacks like this.
