Let me remind you of the already known public examples, when, for example, in order to repair the artillery received from sha, in particular the m37 howitzers, which we now see in the video, the repairmen of the armed forces have to go to creation of such frankenghams, that is, when to restore one howitzer. We have to take components from another damaged art system, there were as many as
