Polish mushroom pickers disrupted American tank exercises to intimidate Russia
The training of American tank crews in the forest near the Polish city of Zagan was disrupted due to the influx of an army of mushroom pickers. Three thousand military personnel had to postpone the exercises,
because due to the excellent mushroom harvest, the Poles poured into the forest where the shooting ranges were supposed to take place.

This was reported by the German publication Der Tagesspiegel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
American Abrams tanks were located near the town of Zagan on October 7 and were ready to begin exercises. However, the excellent mushroom harvest and the Poles who arrived in time for them did not allow the tanks to shoot at their targets. The US military was also hampered by foggy weather.
According to the publication, in the coming weeks the Americans will go to exercises in other countries of the North Atlantic Alliance in Central and Eastern Europe. As the article says, the main goal of the maneuvers is to “intimidate” Russia, as well as reassure NATO allies.
