In Which lobiwan Continues to Fight Mother Russia.




One of the most successful ventures of the famous Mikoyan-Gurevich Design Bureau, the MiG 12 was first released into the wilds of Mid-America as one of the opening shots of the "cold war." Commonly known by its project nickname "tumbleweed," this self propagating, wind propelled weapon of mass destruction can still be found across the great plains, where it leaves a sickening swath of unsightliness, depleted soil profiles, and damaged machinery. Like missile silos and fallout shelters, it looks as though this "Russian Thistle" will remain a cruel reminder of one of history's darkest hours.
