If you are silly enough to want this stuff, then expect to pay penance.

You will pay with you life. It is a no go, no want issue. Same goes for DR stuff in Iraq. I have friends who bleed over these things more than 15 years on....

Only a fool would want such a vehicle. Cancer, or leukemia is something I do not want.

The photos in Keiths first post were taken not long after the equipment was stored. Today, most of the vehicles and helicopters are just skeletons or completely removed as they have been stripped for parts.

check out the helicopters as they look today.



This, I understand, is one of the fire fighting helicopters used to fight the Chernobyl reactor fire. Apparently it is still 'mildly hot'.



BTW, check out this little story

I've had short term memory problems since that first war after the Cold War.
