A majority of the generators are smaller ones: 10-50KW
Some of them are more powerful: 100-400KVA (VA=W), the ballpark of a car engine
18 are heaters for big tents, like the ones being used in public emergency scenarios.
The net worth of the devices suggest they are professional equipment, being able to be operated24/7 and under harsh conditions in Ukraines winter.
I very agree with Boru: 470 is a helluva more than zero

Back to the Trump Administration's war on America:
Quote:A man was shot and killed in Minneapolis on Saturday in an incident involving federal law enforcement, who said the man was armed.
The shooting comes weeks after a federal immigration enforcement officer shot and killed a woman, resident Renee Good, setting off widespread protests in the Twin Cities amid escalation tensions between federal and local officials.
The man in Saturday’s incident was shot several times in the chest before he was taken to the hospital, Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara told NewsNation, The Hill’s cable news partner.
City officials also confirmed the shooting “in the area of 26th Street W and Nicollet Ave.,” according to the city’s official account on the social platform X.
“We are working to confirm additional details,” city officials said. “We ask the public to remain calm and avoid the immediate area.”
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said the man had a gun recovered by federal officers, according to NewsNation.

The article doesn’t say what prompted the feds to shoot the man beyond the fact that he ‘had a gun’. Did he brandish it? Did he actually open fire on the Stormtroopers? Was he shot simply because he was in possession of a gun? Most importantly, did he even HAVE a gun? At this point, I’m not willing to accept anything DHS says.

Latest I read, and it's not conclusive, is that he had a gun, which he had a licence for, was disarmed, and then shot afterwards.
Time for Americans to start shooting back.

Agreed. If Noem asserted the Sun rising in the East, I'd set my alarm for tomorrow morning. These assholes will lie about anything ... anything.

I'm wondering where all those gun nuts are who justified owning 40 or 60 guns because they were going to "keep the government in check". If now is not the time, when is?!
ICE agents should be afraid for their lives as they conduct this campaign against America.

I think that fear is only language that thugs like them will understand. Hopefully USA will be capable of using it appropriately.
