  • Apparently, the solution to this is retrorockets -

    Once clear of the plane a single large main chute opens. The deployment of the main chute triggers the deployment of four long rods which hang beneath the pallet. As soon as the rods touch the ground fires, slowing the BMD to a descending speed between 6 m/s and 7 m/s and giving it a relatively soft landing. This system entered service in 1975 and allows a BMD to be relatively safely parachuted with both the driver and the gunner.











  • Ok, hypothetical scenario:

    Putin’s kickin’ it at the Kremlin, looking at old maps and catalogs for table-lengthening products, the usual; let’s say it’s tomorrow a bit before lunch time. Phone rings, it’s Luka and Pringlecan prank calling him from a burner. Anyway, after establishing that his refrigerator is running, and the boys laughing and making rooster noises at him, Vladka loses his shit like he always does. But this time, that cerebral AVM he’s had since birth, it just can’t take the pressure, and - pop. He mutters some stroked out gibberish and falls out a conveniently placed open window, splat.

    What happens in Russia? Does someone take power or does it devolve into a struggle? Non-credible answers only, plz.
