The sender of the goods was a company from Spain, and the recipient was from Azerbaijan.
I’m sure these legitimate businessmen could perhaps consider transporting their wares via Turkey and Georgia? You know, along the well established transit route for commercial cargo between the EU and Azerbaijan.
Fuck the blyats.
The plane can’t land without those tires, so I guess that effectively grounds it.
Can’t take off either, so Poland is really doing them a favour.
They could put it on a big ballista
That how I initially read it, but just in case anyone else didn’t get it: they are referring to a shipment of tires.
5 metric tons? What’s that, a set for one plane?
A tire for a 737 is about 110 kg. So, that’d be 45 tires.
The 787 has 8 main tires and 2 nose tires. The main tires are 218 lbs (about 100kg) and the nose tires are 114 lbs (about 50kg). So a set is roughly 1970 lbs/900kg, pretty close to a short ton. 5 metric tonnes would be about 5.6 sets of 787 tires.
How many starts and landing single tire can hold? quick google said 300-450? How big % of total needs that interrupt was?
