Russian term
Nicholas Clayton (X)
Тяжелее «мух» вооружения нет
Russian to English
Other
Military / Defense
Тяжелее «мух» вооружения нет. Оказывается, наши — в той, первой части колонны. Вышли по радиосвязи и по ракетам.
The context is a nighttime attack on an armored column with which a journalist was embedded. I assume мух has some sort of military jargon meaning. I don't totally understand the two sentences that follow, mostly because I can't figure out that initial term.
