Shoigu:

- Here, comrade fighters, this is our protection against Khokhlyat drones… Okay, Petrov!

- Me!

- Pull the Shell up the stairs.

Petrov is trying, trying, not lifting.

- Don’t raise it, comrade Minister of Defense!

- Sidorov, help Petrov.

They try together, the same situation.

- There’s no way to raise it, Comrade Minister of Defense!

- Ivanov, help.

The three of them are puffing. They can’t raise it.

- Well, there’s no way to raise it at all, Comrade Minister of Defense!

- Did you want blasphemy? Twenty tons! !
