As the rest of the world is busy using a variety of different means to sanitize public places to combat Covid-19, Russia is doing the most Russian thing ever by employing military vehicles equipped with jet engines to spray disinfectants using jet power. It is hugely satisfying to watch.

This clip comes from the city of Chelyabinsk, near the Ural mountains in Western Russia, but similar vehicles are being used across the country. The idea is relatively simple. These jet engines have been re-purposed and converted into giant disinfectant machines, attached onto regular diesel-powered military trucks, which means that the disinfectant can be sprayed in all directions at jet speed. Literally.

This is extremely Russian. The only way to make it ever more Russian is to build a similar vehicle to deliver Vodka, which probably qualifies as "essential" in Russia (it should), to citizens in need. Brilliant.
