Germany’s Cologne-Wahn military base has been sealed off after a suspected act of sabotage against its water supply, news outlets reported Wednesday.
The base near Cologne-Bonn airport employs 4,300 soldiers and 1,200 civilians and is also home to a fleet of military aircraft used by Chancellor Olaf Scholz for international travel.
According to news magazine Der Spiegel, authorities told employees at the base not to drink the tap water, as they believed it had been contiminated. They also found damage to a fence at the edge of the property.
Police, military police, and the military intelligence agency MAD are all looking into the alleged crime, Spiegel said.
Unrelated to the story, but that dune buggy/atv thing in the thumbnail looks fun as hell
Apparently they also make civilian versions. I take no responsibility for any poor financial decisions you make as a result of this information…
holy shit they are a lot of money for a SxS!!
It’s a Polaris MRZR, I don’t know if they sell it to anyone who is not outfitting a whole military at a time
It’s like a heavy assault golfcart
I find there’s almost nothing more fun in the bush than a side-by-side. Drives like a vehicle, performs like a quad, and has a roll cage, and sometimes a bed for storage and hauling. They can also double as a light duty truck, and you can even register some of them for use on public roads.
They are!
