What I'm wondering is when does the Ruskie fire brigade get to call out this service? Is it reserved for former party members and the criminal elite or are Uri and Magda *Cysiet entitled to the air-tanker service?

My phonetic variation of "neighbor" in Russian, 'cause I try to be a clever mtrfkr when I can-

Word is, they were fighting some forest fires and when the pilot spotted the burning house on his approach, he simply turned his fat lady around and took a dump straight on top of the house, soaking both firefighters and a nearby TV crew.

Anybody have the dashcam footage from the plane? I know its out there somewhere.

That's some mighty hip unilateral license that pilot has to make a power-dump...very cool!

That seemed really effective

You wanna give me that in Cyrillic because your phonetic variation makes no sense to me.

No Fire hydrants???

сосед

*played the audio and made up a surname I'd imagined I'd heard..

LOL

LOL I checked the pronunciation given on google translate and I can see how you got your variation. A better phonetic version would be sosyed but then whenever I try to speak to a Russian person I get a lot of giggles.
