I think the most part of Australia citizens like drink a little cold beer and meat roasted on barbecue. But if your barbecue was destroyed?
Take a rear part from russian 220 mm rocket 'Uragan', fired to your city, some bottle of beer and you will be more than happy!

AND you can build up a stash of bottles to throw back as Molotovs.

Humour at a time of adversity is important.
I've never been in that position but one of the few things my father told me about his time in WWII (he was a camp kitchen hand) was when an air raid siren sounded and all the kitchen staff headed for a nearby small slit trench. The first guy into the trench fell over and the others just piled in on top. No bombs were dropped and minutes later when the all clear sounded the guy at the bottom farted and everyone laughed but it instantly got everyone out of the trench. Later that day Dad was on the detail to lengthen the trench

Keep Safe mate

Putin dies, he is in hell, he is given a day off for bad behavior.
He goes to a Moscow bar, orders a drink asks the bartender:
Is Crimea ours? -Yes.
And the Donbas?-yes,
Kyiv?-We got that too.
Satisfied, Putin drinks, and asks, how much do I owe you?
5 euros.

Today Angelina Jolie visited a coffee shop, Lviv, Western Ukraine. You can find a video with her, photos.
I post one photo too.

Of course our creative people have created the mems.
Text on mem:

President Zelenskiy - "We need Javelins"
President Biden - "Sorry, bad connection, I'm sending you Jolie Angeline".

And this is not joke.

My thanks and thanks from all Ukraine to Australia and Australia's people for the support!!!
On the photos below (taken some days ago) first butch of Bushmaster ready to fly into Ukraine.

I saw this report on "Crikey". Somebody may have read my post above. I assume this is in addition to the previous six Bushmasters.

Bushmaster vehicles and M777 howitzer guns were onboard a flight that departed from RAAF Base Amberley, near Ipswich, on Thursday.
The federal government will send 20 Bushmaster Protected Mobility Vehicles, and six M777 howitzers with ammunition, as part of its aid to the Eastern European nation. "

Forgive my ignorance on all matters aviation but, isn’t that a Russian plane?

Mute point but most aircraft manufacturers aspire to sell their product to other countries so maybe not Russian owned. Aeroflot is the Russian flag carrier although arguably this cargo version could be owned by anybody. Aeroflot interestingly own American Boeings and European Airbus among others.

The only other information I can make out on the plane is "International Cargo Transporter," which despite my poor command of the language, doesn't sound inherently Russian.

My identification of aircraft likewise is poor and only slight better than my two words of Russian, but if the plane in question is an Antonov AN-124 (very heavy cargo transporter) I believe it may have been manufactured in the Ukraine or at least parts of it.

More questions than answers there I am afraid.

Antanov is a Ukrainian manufactured aircraft flying for a Ukrainian airline.

As with all things during the soviet era the Russians claimed it as their own.

According to Australian Aviation, the last time an Antonov AN-124 came to Australia was September 2021.

If this is accurate, then the photographs are not reflective of the article implying this is a recent event.

Are we certain that photo is in Australia? Also, would an Australian flight have flown direct into the Ukraine? Lastly, the only concern I would really have is if the vehicles had not arrived where they are needed: Ukraine.

This report from Australian Aviation seems contrary to that or perhaps the previous reference is about the destroyed AN-226:

Antonov 124 carries Bushmasters to Ukraine – Australian Aviation
