Sizes, type, quantity - simple questions, quick answers

"A non-fictional story, though a dialog from memory.
I was talking to a fellow soldier from one of the brigades that we support, and he asked me to help him with tires for a volunteer bus. Size, type, quantity - simple questions, quick answers. And then we started talking...
- Are there still any volunteer cars or have they been knocked out?
- No, father's is well stocked, so we don't complain. KnownFamilyName1 sent a few, KnownFamilyName2 also fitted them. The guys find volunteers themselves, and they fit them.
- What about repairs? The cars are quite rickety, aren't they?
- It used to be hard, we had to go to Kram and Slavik for repairs. Now we have three new repair machines in the repair shop, and it's great. Even though there is a queue in the team, they do it.
- What kind of cars?
- Who the hell knows...
Yeah, who the hell knows... Well
And no offense, I'm really not being sarcastic. I am sincerely pleased that our repair shops at DAF are helping the military. 12 of these workshops on wheels are already in brigades, and more are needed, by everyone and everywhere. And we will continue to make them, because it's not about names and foundations now. But it is already difficult to respond to comments like "Poroshenko brought nothing to the army" without mats.
