Who needs David Hasselhoff when you have a 500 ton hovercraft? This, it seems, is how the Russians clear a beach for military exercises. Beach goers were enjoying a typical day at the Mechnikovo beach near Kaliningrad on the Baltic Sea when the hovercraft appeared and to the surprise of thousands just entered the beach. Sunbathers were then ordered to leave the beach.
The Zubr-type vessel can transport 400 troops and comes with missile launchers.
The military insists that this beach is technically its property and that this was a standard training exercise. Sun bathers were simply expected to get out of the way. It is inevitable really. You find the perfect spot, carefully shake off the sand and lay down for a quiet day at the beach when a 500 ton Zubr-class hovercraft with 400 troops and missiles pulls up.
Military planning – non existent.

I liked some of the Russian jokes but the only other thing I have to add to this posting is that Russian men, just like many other European men still wear Speedos as opposed to baggy pants. I don’t want to start a discussion about the pros and cons of speedos though. Ha!
I don’t get the hubba balloo. He had to land. There was a nice stretch of beach. He landed. They got out of the way. Life goes on. Jeso.
that looks a lot better than the ones we have.
The video depiction is coming to a beach near Yoo don’t forget.
We may have to modify those “Russian jokes”, if you know what I mean.
Gene, Don’t hassle the Hoff. You see what happens when you do!
Dredd, Great bit! You only forgot the, “Make sure you tip your waitresses.”
I’ve never had any use for the Hoff, but I think I need one of those hovercraft.
“David Hasselhoff has expressed dismay after learning that a shop assistant was critically injured while trying to stop thieves from stealing signs featuring life-size images of him hawking iced coffee.”
The man is an absolute menace to Russian society! I realize that when a Russian luminary is sunbathing and wants his iced coffee, yes, the govt. should get out the artillery and bring it to him, but have some discretion! Pretty nouveau riche I’d say!
AY,
reminds me of another one:
Why not… We have beaches where civil aircrafts are shot down…
The people handle it with humor often:
