Ukrainians will gladly "beam them up".

Unfortunately, it is a one way trip.

It's a real outfit, just not purposed for this sort of action. I'm sure NATO is watching this development with keen interest, as well they should.

In other news, yesterday was 600,000 day.

With another 1330 orcs liquidated as of today, Ruzzia has now lost 601,800 troops in their failed 3-day takeover of Kyiv. Ruzzia is now not only the 2nd most powerful army in Ukraine, but also the 2nd most powerful army in Ruzzia.

At this rate, they will exceed US military losses within months. Not US military losses from any single war, all US military combat losses combined for all wars in US history. They're already there if you don't count the Confederates.
