Who would have thought that in the twenty-first century. someone. will publish photographs of life hacks, the purpose of which is not survival in the jungle, while traveling, but survival in cities, during the invasion of an enemy army on a peaceful country that renounced the status of a nuclear power in exchange for guarantees of protection and sovereignty.
But that's what happened today air raid sirens sounded exactly three times in the city but cruise missiles fired by Russia from the territory of Belarus hit ammunition depots in the Volyn region in the city of Lutsk.
Apparently, during these three days, the sirens became something familiar and no one, neither I, nor my wife and children, heard these alarms and slept peacefully.
When I woke up I saw reports of rocket attacks on the news.
To survive in order to defeat the enemy is probably the only thing one can think about in such conditions.
To be honest I do not trust bomb shelters built where there is no air circulation system.
You have to look for options on how to protect yourself in your apartment but for now, this is only in case of an explosive wave, or flying fragments of shells not a direct hit by a rocket.
Russians use ballistic missiles to destroy infrastructure facilities in Ukraine and they rarely hit residential buildings, but. if the "Grad" or "Smerch" salvo rocket systems come within range of a shot, then, as a rule, they are aimed precisely at the civilian population and residential buildings.
The most vulnerable place of houses is the windows.
I decided to silently strengthen this link in the defense.
I installed two, thirty-liter canisters of water on the windowsill, this should, if not hold, then slow down the flying fragments. Unfortunately, I didn't find any sand nearby, and taking sand canisters to the ninth floor without an elevator, the elevators were turned off, is not the easiest option.
During the Second World War, people sealed the windows so that fragments of broken glass would not cause injury and death.
I found a roll of tape and my son sealed all the windows, but. it was only enough for two diagonals.
Perhaps these are too simple solutions to provide some security, but as they say, in war all means are good.
I photographed this cat when my family and I were hiding from a missile attack behind a retaining wall in a residential area of the city.
He obviously does not like the roar of the sirens, he nervously pressed his ears.
Peace to you!
