This Ukrainian orchestra created an overture imitating the sound of Russian Shahed drone attack. And I guarantee you it’s one of the most chilling things you’d ever hear.

The paradox of US debates on stronger Europe in a nutshell:

PGI Technology in China runs 18 machines for 14 hours daily, producing 500m of fiber per minute - 500 coils per shift. Expansion to 50 machines operating 24/7 will increase output to over 2,000 coils per day.
