In Kazakhstan, they protest against the "ragged" cars from Russia "without ABS and ecology"



Kazakhstanis are not happy with the appearance of "dirty" and unsafe cars, the release of which in Kazakhstan is allowed from November 15


The Kazakhstani movement "No to the waste collection" opposed the "ragged" Russian cars. Social activists demand that the authorities immediately cancel the decree allowing the production of low-emission vehicles without anti-lock braking systems, airbags and SOS buttons on the territory of the republic. According to the protesters, the release of such cars will not only have a detrimental effect on the environment, but also significantly worsen road safety.

In Russia, we recall, in the spring they legalized the production of “simplified” cars, but such cars could not be delivered anywhere except Belarus.

. The permit for the production of "ripped" Russian cars will be valid until February 1, 2023, and then, probably, it will be extended.

The government of the Republic of Kazakhstan noted that the relaxation was made to support KamAZ and AvtoVAZ, with which Kazakh assembly sites cooperate. Arsen Shakuov, President of the Kazakhstan Association "Safe Road", noted that the absence of ABS, airbags and SOS buttons will not greatly affect the statistics of road accidents in Kazakhstan. However, the public does not agree with him.
Meanwhile in Kazakhstan, safe road is at a total different level !

German soldiers mistakenly issued uniforms with ‘SS’ labels​

German soldiers have been ordered to rip the labels on their uniforms off after they were mistakenly issued ones marked with the unfortunate initials “SS.”

The ministry recently distributed about 313,000 uniforms, helmets, sleeping bags, trousers and jackets to the troops at a cost of $2.4 billion (2.3 billion euros), the Times of London reported.

Most of the uniforms were labeled as S, M, L or XL, as is the norm in English.

But the most diminutive soldiers received jackets bearing “SS,” apparently for “small, short” — though the initials are also associated with the notorious Nazi paramilitary organization Schutzstaffel from the days of the Third Reich.
