Yes, I was thinking the same thing. Storing all that energy involves serious mass.

Actually, no. Fiber Lasers are very efficient in turning energy into useful work and can cut through steel. These lasers only consume 1-2 kilowatts if i'm not mistaken. Something that a portable battery bank(2-3 power drill batteries maybe ) could provide for a short duration. Most of the bulk and mass of those industrial cutting lasers can be attributed to the everything else, except the laser. Stuff like enclosure, cutting bed, cooling systems, motors etc to turn the cutting piece, electronics and so on. The laser itself is actually quite small. In a war situation, you can strip away everything that's not essential and get the weight down a lot.

A group known as Cyberpartisans claims it has infiltrated the network of Belarus’s main security agency and accessed the personnel files of thousands of employees.

Cyberpartisans said on April 26 that the official website of the Belarusian KGB has not been working for more than two months because of its activities.

The group said on Telegram that its hackers penetrated the KGB system in the fall of 2023 and “pumped out all the available information.”

As proof that it breached the agency’s network, Cyberpartisans posted a list of administrators and the website's database and server logs on Telegram.

Belarusian KGB authorities have not commented on the claim, but the agency’s website opened with a page that said the site was “under construction.”

Group coordinator Yuliana Shametavets told the Associated Press that the attack was in response to comments by the agency’s chief, Ivan Tertel, who accused the group this week of plotting attacks on the country's critical infrastructure, including a nuclear power plant.

“The KGB is carrying out the largest political repressions in the history of the country and must answer for it,” said Shametavets, speaking from New York. “We work to save the lives of Belarusians, and not to destroy them, like the repressive Belarusian special services do.”

Shametavets said once the group succeeded in hacking the KGB’s network it was able to download personal files of more than 8,600 KGB employees.

The action is the second claimed by the group in as many weeks. The Cyberpartisans claimed last week to have hacked into the computers and security systems of the Hrodna Azot plant in the region of Homel, a major state-run producer of nitrogen compounds and fertilizers.

The group claimed that it took control of all internal e-mail accounts of as well as hundreds of computers, servers, the security system, and security cameras in the plant’s buildings.

It said it would undo its work in exchange for the release of workers who were arrested during protests against the disputed 2020 presidential election.

Cyberpartisans is a decentralized community of anonymous hackers that first appeared in September 2020.

It has previously hacked into the resources of Belarusian state institutions and law enforcement agencies and publicized classified information in response to state repression against protesters. The group says its activity is part of the struggle against the authoritarian rule of Alyaksandr Lukashenka.

Lukashenka, 69, has tightened his grip on the country since the August 2020 election by arresting -- sometimes violently -- tens of thousands of people. Fearing for their safety, most opposition members have fled the country.

The perpetrators have been notified of suspicion and face up to 8 years in prison.

United Russia Criticized for Gifting Meat Grinders to Fallen Soldiers’ Mothers
March 7, 2025

The ruling United Russia party in Russia’s northern Murmansk region has sparked controversy after gifting meat grinders to the mothers of soldiers killed in Ukraine.

The kitchen appliance has become a grim symbol of the Russian military’s high-casualty assaults in the Ukraine war. The Wagner mercenary group had previously awarded “Bakhmut Meat Grinder” medals to its fighters.

United Russia’s local chapter in the town of Polyarnye Zori included meat grinders in gift packages to mothers whose sons died in the war, according to photos published on the party’s social media account Wednesday.

The post drew scathing comments from users who criticized the gift as insensitive.

United Russia’s Murmansk chapter pushed back against the criticism on Thursday, calling the interpretations “inhumane and provocative” and claiming that the women themselves had chosen meat grinders as gifts.

“The meat grinder was not part of the standard gift set, but one woman asked for it, and of course [party members] could not refuse her,” said Mayor Maxim Chengayev.

The party’s social media page later published a video of one soldier’s mother thanking members for what she called a “timely” gift.

“I wanted to buy [the meat grinder] for myself, but you gifted me one just in time,” the woman said on camera. “I asked you for it, in principle.”

A fuckin meat grinder, WTF !

She doesn't look so happy about getting it.

I really don't understand the mentality behind giving them meat grinders as a gift / piece offering for the loss of their kin, as seeing it each day would remind them of what their family members went through, with no pun intended, as without a doubt, they did go through a meat grinder on the front in poo tins suicidal meat waves, so kinda insensitive IMO.
