Ukraine

Speaker 2

During the first stage of the operation, the enemy lost one and a half thousand military personnel, lost 12 thousand drones and several hundred units of armored vehicles, artillery systems. In total, about 75 square kilometers were cleared of infiltration.

Speaker 3

An important clarification right at the start of the 20-25th army, it would be more correct to say. But there is so much professional aesthetics in this, as a military one, because you know that the operation took place in complete informational silence, it was not communicated, only now has open communication emerged, and at the same time, such a virtuoso name as Vivaldi was kept.

Speaker 4

Well, Kat, it seems to me that this is the most helpless machine gunner I've ever seen. We see the battlefield here; events are unfolding on the left flank, but for some reason, the machine gunner decided at that moment to look to the right flank, looked at his hands, at the grips of the machine gun—a twin-mount one, by the way, it was set up nicely, you can see it, or a GoPro on the mount. Some empathy, he ran to ask if his comrade was alive; the MVG guy had no reaction, a very cold-blooded reaction to the fact that his bunkmate had just been hit. We see he even has a red dot sight, meaning everything is there to work against small and mobile targets, like FPV drones, yet nothing, not a single shot. I really like this; you know, there's a video where someone is running around, pretending to help, and you can just imagine who else might be there, like a tank gunner who just rotates in some direction, looking, or some MANPADS operator who just turns away, ashamed of our FPV. This is the kind of psychological pressure our FPV drones exert, forcing even machine gunners to simply look away. We see, this is what happens on the roads to Mariupol, Chongar, where there are many Russian MVGs, but our middle-strikes are still working very well and successfully against enemy logistics.

Speaker 5

Tell everything you can.

Speaker 6

So, well, let's start with the fact that I won't be able to decipher the name of this operation for you either, unfortunately, because I'm not aware of it, but I know that they have a specific person who comes up with all these names, and I'm always very amused by these names, because a very creative person is in charge of that. Regarding this mission that you saw, it is one of many missions carried out by the NS-13 strike UGV unit. This is the first unit, a company of people who deal directly and exclusively with strike UGVs and only with the elimination of enemy forces. Whether it's Kamikazes or UGVs with combat modules, they specialize directly in this. Previously, they also used logistical ones and carried out evacuation missions, but they have moved past the stage of evacuation and logistics and have now taken on more specific and complex tasks, such as these. In this video, we can see two UGVs going directly to carry out their task. What I can say is that it could be two, it could be four, it could be six, more, nine. There can be an infinite number of these assets that can move almost simultaneously in several directions and perform a specific task. It is possible that, for example, some shelter is quite heavily cluttered with various things and, like, you could use, for example, one UGV simply to clear the way, so that another can then enter the dugout and cause much more direct damage than if it just detonated somewhere on top. In other words, their use is extremely diverse.

Speaker 5

Mr. Disney, but I see that for the Russians, in principle, they are already learning to see it in their FPV drones, Kamikaze Loitering Munitions; there is a crazy amount here, seven drops, two FPVs—how often do they notice and react this way? Or is it not some kind of standard practice in this particular video? In

Speaker 6

We had one video that we posted; there was a direct calculation in currency, in dollars, of how much effort and resources the Russians spent in order to destroy two kamikaze UGVs. And in fact, they didn't destroy them; they reached the target and completed their mission. The cost went up to somewhere around hundreds of thousands of dollars; meaning that in order to destroy two UGVs, several fiber-optic FPVs, several drops, 120mm mines and 80mm mines were used. A great deal was used in order to destroy them, but they failed; they only damaged the camera on one of the drones, but thanks to the fact that a Mavic was flying over it, the pilot understood everything clearly and knew where the drone operator needed to go, and they performed their mission very well.

Speaker 4

Our pilots, interceptors, have so battered the Russian aviators on Molniyas that they are already forced to write pleas, appeals on the fuselages, on the wings of these Molniyas, and here one of these was captured specifically by the pilots of the 68th Separate Air Assault Brigade; as we see, they are battering them well and shooting down many, because there really are many of these in the sky, the Russians use them in large quantities due to their low cost, and if you noticed, some of them here come immediately with the ability to install FPV drones there, to set up the Molniya as a relay, which would launch a sort of "Molniya taxi" that delivers FPV drones to a further distance where they strike.

Speaker 5

Sick of them shooting them down, let them reach the target. I think there are electronic points as recognition of your work, and here there is even recognition of your work from the enemy, I'm afraid to imagine,

Speaker 5

The 68th brigade, when they saw this inscription, how happy they were and how their spirits rose, because lightning is a frequent guest specifically of these streams.

Speaker 4

Well, but you saw and you saw that the airborne assault pilots did not accept the Russians' proposal, but continued, rejected it, essentially, with these strikes that we saw every day on the screen.

Speaker 7

Next, we will look in the following video at what is also happening with those who come to our land, especially in the air when they fly in, because they need to be shot down somehow and some units have started making their own smart turrets. This is how firing from this turret happens. And there are a few interesting points here because, first of all, this is some kind of unannounced turret, because I haven't seen them before, especially since there was an exhibition in Poland, and I didn't see them at previous exhibitions. And another detail surprised me: if you look, you can see from above where the machine gun is, and you can see a belt sticking out of it, meaning an ammunition belt, it looks like this from above, but it doesn't move. And you start wondering why it doesn't move and how it fires and

Speaker 3

it's hitting. Let's start with the fact that casings are pouring out, meaning he's firing, firing is happening. Maybe there's feeding going on, you see, yeah, well what do we have here, a Degtyaryov or a regular Pakimon, what's standing there? 7.62×54, but what exactly, what do you think?

Speaker 7

I also only figured out on a large screen how this setup works, because there are two machine guns there, and one at the bottom is 12.7 with an electric trigger, and at the top is 7.62. See, only the front sight is visible.

Speaker 3

from below.

Speaker 7

The front sight of the Browning Chekanik is visible, meaning two machine guns, 12.7-7.62. And because the 7.62 machine gun is not firing, its feed belt is not moving. But the 12.7 is exactly what is firing. Plus, no optics are visible here, I don't see any, but we see some wires coming out and going somewhere, meaning it's not even visible that any operator is handling it. Because of this, it can be called a smart turret, as they call it on the Internet, in this video, that it is directly smart with artificial intelligence, meaning it aims itself, corrects itself, carries out the firing itself and shoots down targets, although I haven't seen anything like that announced by any manufacturer yet, maybe we've spoiled it, but as you can see, such turrets exist, with two machine guns, and perhaps this is based on ranges. That is, for a distant target, the 12.7 fires; for closer ones, the 7.62 will be used.

Speaker 3

It's cool that you noticed there really is a 12.7 right in the center. You don't notice those characteristic handles right away because you get distracted by the top machine guns.

Speaker 7

Yes, and you see, the feed belt on the right is 7.62, and on the bottom left is the 12.7 box. That is, two boxes; 7.62 is fed there, 12.7 is fed there.

Speaker 3

On the right, that's in Pokémon, on the left casings are flying out. Although there is such a muzzle brake there that looks sort of like some kind of cliff, that's how this funnel is.

Speaker 7

Excuse me,

Speaker 3

Doctor, excuse me, sorry, not Utes, Doctor, that this funnel is like this. Utes.

Speaker 7

not quite ours.

Speaker 3

But we need Volodymyr Kravchuk here, so that he can tell you everything in detail. There is not

Speaker 7

Sveta, not to tear the shirt. Although today I am wearing a shirt, he would tear it too.

Speaker 3

The Russians are also carrying out deep strikes. In particular, KABs are being used very intensively, and they are extremely difficult to combat. And the KAB is a very destructive, lethal weapon. At the same time, a serviceman managed to film their impact. And this is an extremely rare video. Everything is fine with the soldier, but the footage is phenomenal. The video shows the impact of three KABs at once. The video, as you can tell, is from the archives. Because some apricot is still blooming there, or something like that, it's springtime. However, there is the threat of KABs, there is information. They are flying in your direction, you go out, take your phone like this, it will be cool.

Speaker 7

I would have done that too. I have the whole clip where I was walking closer to film a tank strike on the positions. For some reason, for one, I had to get closer to make it more effective. I would have filmed such things too. Wouldn't you have filmed it?

Speaker 3

No, no. I would hide.

Speaker 7

And

Speaker 3

content? For me, there is a cameraman for that. I tell him, get out of the shelter, go film. And I am a correspondent.

Speaker 7

I filmed and filmed.

Speaker 3

We once filmed with Ihor Koput, a wonderful cinematographer, when our house was set on fire. And we were below, while everything above was burning and the slate was popping.

Speaker 7

Was it half-assed?

Speaker 3

Yes. I'm saying, Ihor, that you're just sitting there, come on, go film how Shifer is burning and that's it. It was a joke, I was joking. You're with Yaroslav

Speaker 7

Kozak also took down a tank and got all the concussions.

Speaker 3

with you. He filmed tanks with Salivon. Phenomenal cameraman Yaroslav Kozak. Not a single concussion during all rotations with me and Salivon, he left for one shoot. Good evening.

Speaker 7

The camera broke, the flash drive died, and there was a concussion. They got some good footage of the tanks.

Speaker 3

We greet the tanker with him. With him the tanker,

Speaker 7

By the way. Greetings to all tankers. And now, footage from the 93rd Brigade, specifically of Chief Sergeant Vitaliy Stokh-Pesetskyi, who filmed this, how they were getting people out and searching after the strikes on this building and on Kramatorsk. Let's see, as they say, what the situation is there now and what happened there after the strikes.

Віталія Стохода-Песецького

Someone needs help!

Віталія Стохода-Песецького

Sit down, bro, sit down, sit down! Your leg was cut very badly. Hold on. It's okay, we'll stitch everything up. Breathe through your mouth, through your mouth! Mykola! No. Not Mykola! Glory to Jesus Christ that you are alive! Alright, everything is cancelled, I'm providing help here because I've just arrived too. Help is needed up there! Someone needs help! Who needs help, who is alive? Hold on, hold on! Take the first aid kit, it's down there. Kolya! Kolya! Kolya, where are you? Kolya, that's it, bro, we found you. Ladder to this side! Bro, everything will be okay. We'll get you out. It's okay, little brother, everything will be okay. Bro, there's no other way. Okay, we're pulling. One, two, three. Little brother, bear with it, little brother. There's no other way.

Віталія Стохода-Песецького

One, two, three. Help. Enough.

Віталія Стохода-Песецького

Bro, everything will be fine. Need to dig it up. One, two,

Віталія Стохода-Песецького

three.

Віталія Стохода-Песецького

Now, wiggle your fingers. That one from this corner apartment. I will be monitoring you. The main thing is that you hold on with your hands, and you put your foot down when I say you can lower it.

Віталія Стохода-Песецького

Go ahead, I accept you.

Speaker 8

She won't catch up on the track.

Віталія Стохода-Песецького

Come on, come on, get a hint in

Віталія Стохода-Песецького

knees.

Speaker 7

You only saw what seems like a thriller, how it is after KAB strikes, what is happening in Kramatorsk, how it is necessary to rescue, to look at the people,

Speaker 7

For most military rescue brigades, as I understand it, this will soon be, well, I would wish that it wouldn't be a daily job, but it is ordinary work, rescuing people, service members, brothers-in-arms, because the enemy is constantly throwing everything everywhere, and not only KABs, and Shaheds, and directive ones, and ordinary ones. And these frames you saw are exactly how the rescue itself takes place, how you have to go to all the apartments, search for who is alive, who was buried, and you see, when you then have to dig out everyone who was buried or crushed.

Speaker 3

And Mr. Vitaliy handled everything super professionally here, even to the point that he had gloves when providing first aid, cool-headedly, and it looks like some kind of assistance algorithm, but you realize that such things hardly happen every day. And

Speaker 7

also, that nobody was expecting any MES personnel, MCHS personnel, or anyone at all. Found a pellet in the neighboring entrance, come on, because someone is screaming there, everything worked out. And if you, like I do, love watching how the gruzaki whine, whine and cry a lot in their telegrams, then all weekend they whined, cried, bit, and continued to eat this cactus of theirs with a pipe. And at first it wasn't, it even started on Friday. It wasn't very clear where, who, what pipe, what happened there again. Dozens of boys in panties, they've fallen into a pipe again somewhere, somewhere they've been closed in again. Again, nobody is counting the losses. This was flying around in their telegrams, and it turned out to be the Sumy region. And again the enemy wanted to cross from the Kursk region to the Sumy region through a pipe. But, you see, the 47th Separate Mechanized Brigade Magura says that no, no, boys in panties. All the exits from these pipes—there isn't just one, by the way, there are many exits from these pipes—are all controlled. As you can see, the artillery worked, the drones worked, and the specialists who then shot these bunnies as they crawled out of these burrows. It's like a game once with Volodymyr Kravchuk, he told me the name, where the BBR comes out and you hit the beaver with a hammer.

Speaker 3

Where is such a game?

Speaker 7

he was saying the name, I already

Speaker 3

I know. Well, it's not BBR there, Krit is popping up there.

Speaker 7

Well, there you had to bash it with such an inflatable hammer. That's how our guys are sitting, and the artillery is sitting like that and looking into these holes, into these openings from these pipes, and they're watching how the loads are already coming out. They weren't coming out here, they didn't come out there for three months. And then two tens came out, went to clear them out. Just like this in the pits, with this hammer.

Speaker 3

And so, like a volcanic eruption, they accumulate there, and then it all wakes up, they emerge.

Speaker 3

then

Speaker 7

war in Mirove Z.

Speaker 3

As you say, practice shows that it is not very effective, and Russians don't like dying in the pipes,

Speaker 7

And they just ignore it, and they're constantly shouting about who keeps sending them there, right?

Speaker 3

On the other hand, they have already provided a whole mine cart so that it's possible to ride, to already modernize. Yes, they have already made it,

Speaker 7

This trolley was shown on Hlavpiven once. There, they showed a piece of pipe at an exhibition, that, Operation Pipe, and then they showed this trolley, because the wheels aren't positioned like this, but like this, to travel along the pipe.

Speaker 3

Is it true that they have a monument to a pipe or not? There is a monument to a pipe. Is that not all? This

Speaker 7

just

Speaker 3

True, they put

Speaker 7

a monument to the pipe? I saw this video, and I saw a piece of this pipe, they cut it out, they actually showed it to Glavpivnya at an exhibition in a museum. Yes, it's sturdy there, you can walk in it, bend a little, it's a meter 60 there.

Speaker 3

What distance do they normally cover passing through the pipe?

Speaker 7

Tens of kilometers

Speaker 3

they aren't going. Dozens in the pipe without oxygen, it's basically nothing. Without

Speaker 7

oxygen, and they also say that there are constantly excrements there, or someone cannot make it. It's harsh there, there

Speaker 3

It's necessary to linger. To go out, take a full breath of air and meet an FPV drone. It's good that the 47th makes it so that this happens, and the Russians are a little bit demotivated. You know that Colombians are also fighting for us; Colombian volunteers also come. But, it turns out, Colombian volunteers are fighting on the side of the Russians as well. Not all Colombians are good, right? Right. As demonstrated by our 33rd Separate Mechanized Brigade, which managed to take as many as 5 Colombians prisoner who decided to surrender. The Colombians are complaining a lot. They said that they joined the Russian army, they were promised something completely different there, but then the promises weren't exactly fulfilled, and they didn't like the service very much. And then the Russians applied their best recruitment tools, motivations, and influence. That is, with the promise that they would be zeroed, they were sent forward and forward. And the Colombians decided—they are smarter than many Russians—that the best decision is to surrender. And here, observe, they came out, replenished the exchange fund, 5 Colombians all at once. What now? Probably somewhere… What did they do? Replenished the exchange fund.

Speaker 7

What are these for? Exchange them for Colombians?

Speaker 3

Well, that needs to be figured out now.

Speaker 7

It's just like that, what a thing. Colombians

Speaker 3

Replenished.

Speaker 7

Do you think the Northerners are just sitting there? We brought them 78 Colombians, and they brought us 78 Ukrainians?

Speaker 3

I don't think so, but I think there is a procedure after which, as soon as they surrender, it is unlikely they are told "listen." They come, and the 33rd Brigade tells them, "We cannot take you prisoner, please go back." There is definitely some kind of procedure. For the Ukrainians.

Speaker 7

There are Colombians there too; basically, you can move there.

Speaker 3

No, well then some kind of diplomatic cooperation begins. Exactly.

Speaker 7

Isn't this a replenishment of the exchange fund?

Speaker 3

Well, something

Speaker 7

Maybe someone could be exchanged. Imagine, an exchange of three Ukrainians for three Colombians. How do you exchange that?

Speaker 3

Let's say, for a certain time, this is a replenishment of the exchange fund, until someone says that it belongs to the Colombians. Overall, we can ask now… You can

Speaker 7

Keep quiet, right?

Speaker 3

Yes, we can ask how they are with people, because we can ask in more detail how they top up, how it goes further…

Speaker 7

What if they are standing in our ranks? Same here. And that's why there are many of us Colombians, because they are from Russia.

Speaker 3

they move here. And now we will also show you a drone. This time, an enemy one. This time, there will be its interaction with the civilian population that does not wish to evacuate. You will say that very often these are people of an older age group, for example. That's the case. We can see this video, in which a grandmother literally walks up to the drone, detaches a part from it. It looks very much like she is detaching the object from the top. Checks it, takes a look, and leaves. Ambiguous in reality. First, we need to analyze this video. So, this drone is standing. The drone is quite large. The drone is powerful. The drone is without a warhead, I think

Speaker 5

I understand. Maybe it was like a Zhdun, but then the Zhdun must be from a combat unit. I don't know. I think it's, to be honest, a fiber optic spool. But maybe I'm wrong.

Speaker 3

If this is a spool… Well, okay, let's assume that it's a spool. But then, where is the batka there? It removes it, it falls off. They removed it easily.

Speaker 5

And it's as if she's showing someone, to be honest. Not as confirmation that this drone is disassembled. I don't know. There are many objective assumptions here. But the picture doesn't add up.

Speaker 7

Just grandma

Speaker 5

she approaches the drone and tries to disconnect some component from it, an element.

Speaker 3

I don't know how well this is supposed to work as a recruitment video.

Speaker 5

Even grandma. Grandma

Speaker 3

superspotters work with this. In general, there is no need to do it. You know perfectly well, it's better not to touch that drone. Generally, it's better to leave so as not to have contact with it. But the grandmother acted so confidently and also records that this matrix is hanging. It seems as if the grandmother was clearly following the given commands. I

Speaker 5

I saw that someone wrote in the comments that she disconnected the coil to tie up her tomatoes. You know, there could be many versions, but it is absolutely dangerous. Therefore, we certainly do not encourage you to do such work.

Speaker 3

You see that the Russians have the ability to take something cheap and some kind of junk and make something lethal out of it, so that it flies and works. Using ingenuity, specifically the same Molniya we already mentioned, it is often jammed, spoofed, or knocked off course. And to avoid jamming by EW, the Russians are using such a mechanism not for the first time. Now you can see it in the video. There is a compass on it to counter spoofing by EW. You know, it's a bit difficult. There is a Molniya, which is packed. Over there in front is some kind of 60mm mine. There is definitely the tail fin of a mine sticking out. Something obviously super homemade, glued on. And the Molniya flies by compass. I will note that we were suppressing, with high probability, it is not the Molniya's camera moving right now. There is a probability, Kateryna, that it is so… Let's go step by step. What is the compass for? It's clear to people. That is

Speaker 5

they lowered you,

Speaker 3

You know that you were flying in a northern direction. So, you turn and continue flying in a northern direction. Here, for example, we have South East. But to see this compass, you either engineer and develop another camera that will be stationary, or you just take an FPV, perhaps.

Speaker 5

And you breathe her in.

Speaker 3

And you just attach another FPV and watch through a servo like this. Because, in effect, I think the Molniya is flying and is controlled by its own camera anyway, and on top… It could very well be that they just taped a whole FPV on there with scotch tape. With high probability, there is nothing stopping them from just taking a video transmitter, putting it on a servo drive, and observing like this. Then it is, of course, more scalable, more refined. But notice, they literally wrote for their own orientation with a felt-tip pen on the fuselage, with a marker, where they have a certain side of the corresponding compass, so that if they suddenly didn't see the labels on the compass, it would be displayed.

Speaker 5

Very valuable aircraft is listening, very valuable indeed.

Speaker 3

The topic is viable, why not.

Speaker 5

You know, once in the village, they used those special dowsing rods to know where to dig a well. Does that work? I'm not sure about it, but if the Russians use it on Molniya, then, in principle, maybe none of us will even be surprised. Maybe they'll watch our stream and think,

Speaker 5

also a working scheme. I've never

Speaker 3

It didn't work.

Speaker 5

No, it worked for me, I went. They dug wells, there is water there. They crossed. No, I just went, I made it.

Speaker 7

Battle captain is more appealing. That's the way—battle captain.

Speaker 4

Well, here, you know, there are people who will say that we are forcing anglicisms. I am quite pir in

Speaker 7

In the comments I see that this looks like a lieutenant colonel. Some write that I'm already preparing for retirement. I

Speaker 4

I've seen theories that you're bald under that cap. Hello, Kryiv.

Speaker 7

I am not bald.

Speaker 4

This is, you know, the theory the myth is debunked. Debunked. MythBusters.

Speaker 7

By the way, this account I'm writing from in the comments, the ATV stream, that's me writing there, and everyone is sitting here, so [whoever] is writing. It's me, I'm writing all this. I told you, I'll explain everything after the broadcast. Don't be afraid of this account, everything is fine. You have to feel that it's me. It's obvious from the style anyway that I wrote everything. So, a separate greeting to the olds. And well, let's move on. There wasn't a spectacular mind-blow here. There was no mind-blow, there was a rupture of everything you could want. Just not what I wanted to say. Next will be a maximally spectacular explosion. Very short, but very spectacular. Because one drone arrived, it blew up everything. Because it's possible, although the unit is identified as a SAM system. But it's not a SAM system. It's something very [something]. Those two shturpaky, did you see the matter from the Caponier? Three. One on the road.

Speaker 4

Here, two ran away, and one is on the road. This road worker is definitely gone. All three,

Speaker 7

I'm telling you, it ignored.

Speaker 4

It's simple there. We were talking.

Speaker 7

with Pesetskyi, the day before yesterday. That wasn't with you on the air. When they arrived in Kramatorsk, there, by the way, you also know that building where a CAB hit, and they were digging a soldier out of there. I say, how he was naked. And he says, he was torn apart by the explosion. A CAB hit, he was torn apart by the explosion. Imagine how those assault troops were torn apart.

Speaker 4

They were stripped to the bone. They just burned immediately. Burned,

Speaker 7

just like at home, when a guy started messing with that electric thing, that crane, and he hanged himself yesterday. That's just how they are.

Speaker 4

Because we have the opinion that it was a vtoska, maybe the first, maybe a santsepyok. But it is very interesting here, because there is some device under the cover. Buratino, I wanted to tell you. And here is this one. Nothing, everyone thought it was one. Buratino.

Speaker 7

older. Because of this, it could be that it is Buratinchyk,

Speaker 7

there… Look, they found the TA-62M, so maybe they found the Buratino too. Maybe so. You said it's a TZM, right?

Speaker 4

Yes, transport-charging. This was standing in front. Well, the patrol officer noted this very professionally. Because it really doesn't look, this covered one, like a cassette. Why raise it like that?

Speaker 7

Whatever for charging and discharging. And this TZM-ka drove up like that, and it was already half-charged inside. Maybe the charging process was just underway. Yes,

Speaker 4

Two very dangerous assets were hit here at once. And three low-danger assets.

Speaker 7

They even went in a papirosa, because, he says, two can be loaded inside. And then they sped off.

Speaker 3

When we spoke recently about the Russians who were being hunted, we said that they move at a height of 0 meters. That's what I came up with for the start of this news item. But not all Russian stormtroopers move at a height of 0 meters, at least for a while. Our regular column: records from altitude work. This time, the Vovchansk direction. We can observe a Russian in two positions. First, performing tasks on a horizontal surface, then he smoothly rises to a vertical one. It's hard to see overall what is happening here. But for the first frame, we've specifically added a circle. He is in the frame and it's very telling. He is entering the premises, the Russian. You don't see him, so they showed you a bit more of him.

Speaker 4

Is it okay or did it fly off? It flew off, I would even say. See, our assets. I won't say that they teach the Russians to think. It's already too late. But for the finale, they are also trying to overcome gravity.

Speaker 3

I will note that the unit that made this wonderful hit, the mega-figivtsi, calculated the results. Almost 10 meters in height and more than 25 meters in length.

Speaker 4

So, he missed out.

Speaker 3

Significantly more. At my age, I remember, OMEGA, the National Guard of Ukraine, still threw very high. But this will clearly win. These categories are super-professionals.

Speaker 4

You know, when they throw a one-handed shot across the whole court in basketball and it goes in the hoop, it's something like that. So that he too, together with some variy takhiv, would fly off to warmer climes. But he'll end up in a clown's Valhalla.
