Patriot Park. Syrian Fracture.
I wanted to visit the long-awaited exhibition on Syria, but its pavilion near the Guerrilla Village was closed.
Initial report: Patriot Park. Introduction.
Previous report: Patriot Park. Near the partisan village.
According to the rules of TV series, the main character isn’t killed off right at the start. If I hadn’t had anything to tell, I wouldn’t have started at all.
At the end of the previous report, the most attentive observers might have spotted a studio with the promising name “Syrian Fracture” in the second-to-last photo in the background, behind the three diggers.
Well, TV series lovers, it’s also closed. A total Syrian bummer!
And luckily, the cashier, when I asked her directly, gave me an evasive answer: “Look behind the fence.”
I’ve come across a fence before. So what? If the average Russian paid attention to all the fences he encountered along the way, he would know much more. The gates are wide open there!
I was recently reminded that the fundamental characteristic of the Universe is increasing entropy. Who are we to go against the laws of the universe? That’s why I will show you exhibits in increasing order of disorder.
We’ll examine the principle of sequence formation using the example of a Turkish infantry fighting vehicle. There are three of them here: a couple and one separate one.
From the front, they’re all practically identical, but from the back, they’re all different, precisely in terms of their degree of internal entropy.
The first is a complete interior in a state of initial disrepair.
The second one is already a little burnt.
The third one is a little unburnt.
I think everyone has already understood the principle.
The next trio of Czech armored personnel carriers are approximately equally damaged.
They are actually a little different: some are armed, some are not.
If this couple looks like they’re ready to pump up their tires and go,
then these ones don’t make that impression anymore.
Soviet post-war guns look minimally dented for their age,
however, not all.
Against this background, the Croatian MLRS looks decent,
and in comparison with the domestic mortar, it’s completely new.
However, all this is still normal, compared to the subsequent exhibits.
Who needed inspiration for aggressively damaging a model?
Here’s a WWII tank!
Here they are, the beauties, all standing in a row.
These ones were disfigured, but these were freaks from the start.
Always, always! Whenever I look at the design delights of Foggy Albion, I recall the words of that wicked modeler with the telling nickname Hulio, who said that he finds Eastern European technology, and specifically Russian, ugly. This in a country where the phrases “Ugly planes don’t fly” (A.N. Tupolev) and “Ugly weapons don’t fire” (I.Ya. Stechkin) are taken as commandments.
