In Belarus, the ceremony was held recruits their first weapons. Part of it was the consecration of the machines.
In this picture a lot of strange. Why in a foreign army visual propaganda is made in Russian?
And whether or not it would be better to shoot the weapon, if its pre-fill with water?
In principle, the debate about whether it's a charity thing - bless weapon designed to kill people, being a long time.
There are different opinions. The Russian Orthodox Church, this issue has been resolved for a long time and irrevocably:
Let me remind you, by the way, that the submarine "Kursk" was consecrated shortly before the tragedy in which she was killed, along with the crew.
At that time it was the only ship in the Russian fleet, which has been sanctified by the Russian Orthodox Church.
After the tragedy of "Kursk" has decided to consecrate the rest.
