Best picture of it I've seen. Best part of it is it still had that new corvette sticker in the window. Until the windows were blown out.

Yes, I know they are more properly called lights. Or scuttles.
 
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — A top aide to the commander of Ukraine's military was killed by a grenade given to him as a birthday gift and not in a targeted attack, the interior minister said.

Maj. Hennadii Chastiakov died in the tragic accident Monday that badly injured his 13-year-old son, Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko said on Telegram.

A colleague presented six new grenades as a gift to Chastiakov, who was a top aide and close friend to Gen. Valerii Zaluzhnyi, for his 39th birthday, Klymenko said.

Chastiakov was showing off the grenades to his family at home when his son took one and began twisting the ring.

"The serviceman then took the grenade from the child and pulled the ring, leading to a tragic explosion," Klymenko said.

Police are investigating the incident in the village of Chaiky in the Kyiv region.

The officer's death was the second fatal tragedy in less than a week for Ukraine's military.

My BS detector is sounding. Trained soldiers horsing around with live grenades -- including pulling the pin?
