they talked about it, but the americans confirmed it with their own system.
they just were absolutely not going to confirm anything the russians said.

but the americans confirmed it with their own system Yes we knew before the Ru, that is why they rolled the stuff into the hanger. Worked with a guy that developed U2/BB/shuttle photo stuff. What I was cleared to see was , well, exceptional.

I have a cat (named Dreamy), I think she wants me to teach her to reload? Today she brought down a loaded 243 cartridge.
.
Now a couple years ago, I trained my other cat (Sassy)to fetch, which she had instinct to do so, but Dreamy never cared about that game. I play fetch with Sassy all the time and Dreamy just watches.
.
Last year, I started finding 45acp cases on the floor where I keep my shoes...and a few cases were in one shoe.
.
It took a while, but I figured when I leave the reloading room door open, Dreamy goes in there and finds a piece of brass and brings it downstairs and tries to put it in my shoe. I had some 45 cases in a bowl by the turret press. When after I figured that, I put them in a baggy. There was other brass here and there in the room, but I figured Dreamy thought the game was that bowl by the turret press.

A few days later, more 45 cases in my shoe. I go upstairs and find the baggy on the floor, baggy open, cases scattered on the floor. I clean up the mess and secure the 45 cases with my stash in a 5 gallon bucket. a few days later a couple more 45 cases. I figure they were loosies on the floor, that I missed while cleaning up.
.
Next was a 222 case. then a 223 case. then more 223 cases.
I found were she was finding them, and I secured them.
.
Next was a sized/lubed 45 cast bullet. then another, then another.
I found where she found those and secured them.
.
Next was a unlubed, unsized, 358 Ranchdog 190gr cast bullet.
then another, then another...and so on.
I couldn't figure where Dreamy was getting them?
I think Dreamy brought down a dozen of them over the following week, so I set up a 'stakeout' and found she was pulling them out of a soup can (in another room) that was half full of rejects with a layer of ranchdog's on the top.
.
Then came another 45 case, followed by a 41mag case, then a couple more 41 mag cases.
these cases all had flaws.
She must have dug them out of a box where I put culled brass for recycling. I secured the box.
.
Then came more cast bullets, all sized/lubed, a few 41 cal, a few 357 cal, a few 45.
These were all on a shelf, stood up on cards. I secured all them.
.
That was a few weeks ago, and nothing has been delivered into my shoe since ...until today.
.
I had a friend over and we were having a conversation in the living room, when Dreamy walks by carrying a loaded 243 cartridge. I go upstairs and look where I have 243 loaded ammo, all are in MTM plastic ammo boxes, there is 5 of these MTM boxes on that shelf. I believe they were all snapped shut prior to today. One box is open and it had 49 loaded rounds, all with cast bullet nose up.
.
I'd like to keep the upstairs door shut, but I need my woodstove heat to find it's way up there.

In 2011, I and three of my friends competed in a match called "The Frozen Chosin". 200 yard prone match held in January, shooting at half and full silhouettes (the full is moving), using period correct firearms - Garands, SKS, Mosin's.
I and my buddies were there for the fun of it, and didn't think we had a chance of winning, so we were a little "loose" with our team name "4Q2". We won, and thankfully, the club never quite "got" the name.

Yes, the South Dakoda CBA did that one for years. Didn't like laying in the snow at 10 below.
