Britain wants to know how a Russian Thermobaric Rocket Launcher got into Ukraine, and is now reportedly in an area controlled by the Russian-backed guerrillas, since they claim not to be supporting the rebels with heavy weapons?

As you can see from its size, it would be pretty difficult to smuggle past the border troops, if someone were to get drunk, and actually steal it from the army.

The OSCE located the weapon in Eastern Ukraine, and it has never been exported to the country, officially.

It is just military surplus that somebody bought at the local market.

It's undergoing "field testing."

It must have fallen out of Malaysian airliner.
Quick, switch to story of Putin riding bear while playing polo.

Putin is apparently an excellent hockey player.

Scored 7 goals on his birthday apparently, about a week ago, to help his team win 10:5 vs. their "opponents".

Slowest moving hockey game I think I've ever seen footage of. They just showed the one goal, due to time limitations, on the news.

Fortunately, the opposing goalie going up against him wasn't very skilled, or he'd probably have been sent to the Eastern Ukraine, or Syria, I suspect, to hone his skills further.
