Medvedev threatens Ukraine. One detail, however, caught my attention

Medvedev, vice-chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation and a staunch ally of Vladimir Putin, was in Nizhny Tagil, where, he said, “the issues of accelerating the supply of equipment for troops to be used in a” special operation “were discussed. This is how he called the war that Russia is waging against Ukraine.

However, Internet users focus on Medvedev’s clothing. His choice of a leather coat reminded some of them of Herr Otto Flick – a character from the TV series “Allo ‘Allo”, a limping Gestapo man whose godfather was Heinrich Himmler. The series Flick set itself a personal mission to liquidate the local resistance movement.

The show’s producers later revealed that the character was a combination of Joseph Goebbels and Arnold Toht from Raiders of the Lost Ark.

After visiting Nizhny Tagil, Medvedev posted an entry on Telegramin which he referred to the allegations of shortages of Russian military equipment.

“Reading hostile analyzes, I have repeatedly encountered claims that the military equipment and weapons that are in demand in Russia will soon end. As if everything has been used up. Do not get your hopes up. The production of weapons and special equipment increases many times in all directions: from tanks and guns for precision rockets and drones “- assured the former Russian president.

Meanwhile, at the end of September the US Institute for War Research estimated that “The perception that Russia has a reserve of soldiers ready to fight has nothing to do with reality. The course of the war so far proves that the world has long overestimated the strength of the Russian army.”
