i remember a while ago bbc ran a story about how russians were reduced to attacking ukrainian fortifications with shovels because they'd run out of guns and buried deep in the article it said something like "the Ukrainian government has not stated where this engagement took place and the BBC has been unable to independently verify it"

edit: i found the article

The tool was designed in 1869 and had changed little, the ministry said.

Lmao at the BBC trying to age shame an entrenching tool.

You have not paid your shovel subscription fee. This tool will not function until you make the payment. Error. Shovel disconnected from the internet. Please try again.

Please insert a genuine HP shovel cartridge before shoveling
