December 7th, 2024. A dust road in the Kursk Oblast on the wrong side of the Russian border for a Ukrainian paratrooper to be alive on. A driver with the call sign Tour leans into a journalist camera. He has been at the wheel of the same vehicle for a year and a half. Before this, he drove Strykers.
Before that, he drove a Soviet BTR-80. He is part of the 80th Separate Air Assault Brigade, the Lviv paratroopers who pushed across the border into Russia in August of that year, and who took their Australian trucks with them. He says one sentence on camera that becomes the spine of everything that follows. You’re driving and all you hear is ding, ding, ding and nothing else.
Just muffled explosion somewhere, meaning the armor is good. The vehicle behind him is right-hand drive, boxy, high, a V-shaped hull welded along the floor like the prow of a small boat, a remote weapon station rotating slowly on the roof. The paratroopers of the 80th Brigade call it their armored kangaroo. Ukrainian Defense Express calls it the favorite vehicle of the Air Assault forces.
Australia had been quietly retiring it. The Australian Defense Force had over 1,000 of them sitting in depots after Afghanistan and East Timor wound down. They were yesterday’s truck, a leftover from a war the West was trying to forget. Then the war Ukraine could not forget began. And a wartime president, 12 and 1/2 thousand kilometers from Canberra, asked for the Australian truck by name.
What Tour’s Brigade did with 120 of them across 3 years, from Lysychansk in 2022 to Kursk in 2024, would save Australia’s last armored vehicle production line, and force Bendigo, a country town in Victoria, to run hot again in 2026. They called it the Bushmaster. The Australian Defense Force called it surplus.
Ukraine called it a house on wheels. The story begins in a parliament, not on a battlefield. March 31, 2022. Five weeks into the full-scale invasion, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy addresses a joint sitting of the Australian Parliament by video link from Kyiv. He has already asked Washington for jets. He has already asked Berlin for tanks.
From Canberra, he asked for one specific vehicle by name. He calls it the Bushmaster. Most Australians watching the broadcast had to look it up. Within 24 hours, Prime Minister Scott Morrison agreed. Within 8 days, on April 8, 2022, the first three vehicles rolled up the ramp of a Royal Australian Air Force C-17 Globemaster at RAAF Base Amberley in Queensland.
Olive green paint, Ukrainian flag stenciled on the doors, the words “United with Ukraine” painted along the flanks in English and Ukrainian. Two of the first 20 were ambulance variants. Each C-17 sortie could carry only four. They went anyway. Its designation was the Bushmaster Protected Mobility Vehicle, built by Thales Australia at its plant in Bendigo, Victoria.
The original Project Bushranger requirement entered service in 2005. Its engineering descended from a South African idea, refined by Americans in Iraq through the MRAP program, and adapted by Australian defense industries for a country that wanted to fight in mines without dying in them. 20 more arrived in May under Defense Minister Peter Dutton.
20 more in July under the new Albanese government. 30 more in October. 30 more in July 2023. By the fifth and final tranche, Australia had gifted 120 Bushmasters to Ukraine. That was roughly 12% of the entire Australian Defense Force fleet. The technical bones of the vehicle matter because every Ukrainian operator in this story owes their life to them.
The Bushmaster weighs 15.4 tons at gross combat mass. The engine is a Caterpillar 3126 EATAAC turbocharged diesel. 300 horsepower at 2,400 revolutions per minute. Road speed 100 km/h. Range over 800 km on a single tank, meaning a Ukrainian crew can drive Kyiv to the Donbas front without refueling.
Crew capacity is 2 + 8 as designed. Ukrainian paratroopers regularly squeeze 15 to 18 men in full kit into the troop compartment. The seats hang from the roof, not the floor. The fuel and hydraulic tanks sit outside the crew area. An automatic fire suppression system is built into the hull. None of these are accidents. The defining feature is welded into the bottom, a V-shaped hull, a monocoque of steel angled like a wedge, designed to do one thing.
When a mine or an improvised explosive device detonates beneath the floor, the V splits the blast outwards, away from the crew, instead of punching the energy straight up through the spines and feet of the men inside. Thales rates the protection at STANAG 4569 level three. The NATO standard for that level is an 8-kg TNT equivalent charge detonated under the hull or wheel.
A Ukrainian driver named Serhiy told Army Inform he considered the Bushmaster able to withstand up to 8 kg of TNT from personal experience. He was speaking from inside one that had survived two RPG hits. The ballistic protection scales with applique armor. Ukrainian Bushmasters in the field carry an additional Kevlar lining bolted between the outer hull and the hanging seats.
The roof hatch takes a 5.56-mm or 7.62-mm machine gun. Many of the vehicles have been refitted with the Australian EOS R-400 remote weapon station, a 360° rotating module with day and thermal cameras, fired from inside the hull by a crewman with a joystick. The design philosophy is the inverse of the Russian one. Russia’s BTR-82A, the GAZ Tigr M light armored car, and the Kamaz 53949 Typhoon K all sit on a flat hull.
Russian doctrine prizes amphibious capability and low silhouette. The V-hull was a lesson the South Africans taught the world during the Bush Wars of the 1970s, refined by Americans in Iraq, and built into Australian doctrine before this war began. Russia did not build vehicles for this war. Ukraine inherited one that was already ready for it.
What the 80th Air Assault Brigade did with these trucks from Lysychansk in the summer of 2022 to Kursk in the winter of 2024 would force Russia’s Defense Ministry to display a burnt-out Bushmaster in Patriot Park outside Moscow. It would also force Bendigo, a country town in Victoria, to reopen a production line Canberra had been winding down.
But first, if you are enjoying this deep dive into Australian engineering, hit subscribe. It takes a second, costs nothing, and helps the channel grow. Now, the combat record. The first verified combat losses came fast. On May 29th, 2022, the Australian Financial Review reported video confirmation of a destroyed Bushmaster at Trypillia in Donetsk Oblast.
Within weeks, at least three had been lost. Crews escaped from two. The third was struck by an anti-tank weapon, and the soldiers aboard were killed. That was not the story Ukrainian chose to tell. The story they kept telling to Army Inform, to Militarnyi, to visiting Australian senators was the story of who walked away.
A soldier named Volodymyr from a Ukrainian Airborne Brigade told Army Inform in late 2022 that an 82-mm mortar mine had exploded right next to a wheel of his Bushmaster while withdrawing from Lysychansk. Only the wheel was damaged. The crew remained alive and unharmed. His comrade Mykhailo described Grad rocket detonating 15 m from his vehicle.
Wheel damaged, crew intact. He then described the same vehicle later hitting two anti-tank mines. The Bushmaster lost the wheels and the trunk. The bottom of the car withstood. The crew was shell-shocked. All remained alive. The driver Sahip put the verdict in writing. The Bushmaster, he said, had withstood two RPG hits, and the crew had survived.
He called it one of the 10 best armored vehicles in the world. In August 2022, journalist Kate Geraghty of the Sydney Morning Herald reached a commander in the 80th Brigade, identified only as Vitaly. He had watched one of his Bushmasters get hit, drive in to rescue wounded men, and go back a second time. Then it got hit again.
He gave the line that became the headline across Australia. “It is very comfortable. It has air conditioning. It is like a house on wheels. I would have lived inside. I stay in it all the time.” That same brigade, the 80th, used Bushmasters as troop taxis through the September 2022 Kharkiv counteroffensive. They ripped into Russian-occupied territory at speeds the old MTLBs and BTRs could not match.
Australian Senator David Van, visiting their positions later that year alongside Brigade Commander Colonel Ihor Skybiuk, told ABC Radio’s Drive that the paratroopers had hugged him because their friends were still alive after three Bushmasters had been hit by RPGs, a tank round, or a mine, and every soldier inside had survived, the V-hull deflecting the blast, sending the energy outwards instead of upwards.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy himself, who almost never names individual donated weapons in public, broke that rule for the Australian truck. Addressing the Lowy Institute in Sydney on October 6, 2022, he said the Bushmasters had performed masterfully in real combat operations. By the winter of 2024, the truck Australia had been retiring was operating on Russian soil.
The journalist Philip Malzahn, working for the Ukrainian state-supported outlet United 24 media, was allowed to film a crew operating inside the Kursk Oblast. The video was published on December the 7th, 2024. Two operators, call signs only, Tur, the driver, Solodky, meaning sweet, the navigator, commander, and gun operator.
Tur described the Kevlar lining tucked between the outer shell and the hanging seats. He described the troop loading. 15 to 18 men with rifles, machine guns, and empty backpacks could load and seal the rear hatch in 15 to 20 seconds. Solodky described the EOSR 400 site day camera, night camera, cold mode for warm signatures in a hollow, warm mode for cool signatures in open ground.
A tool that turned the Bushmaster into a sensor platform as well as a troop carrier. Russian forces tried to kill them. Russian Lancet loitering munitions punched shaped charges through roofs. FPV drones dove into engine bays. Krasnopol laser-guided artillery hunted them. Tube artillery cued by Orlan drones bracketed them.
Daisy-chained TM-62 mines and larger TM-83 variants overpowered the 8 kg protection threshold. The open-source intelligence collective Oryx, which counts only losses verified by photograph or video, reported as of December 2025 that 47 Ukrainian Bushmasters had been destroyed, five damaged, and three captured.
In Kursk Oblast alone, the contributor Nalsio counted five destroyed, one captured, and one abandoned by March 2025. Russia displayed one burnt-out hull as a war trophy in Patriot Park outside Moscow in August 2022. They would not have bothered if the vehicle did not matter. The Russian rivals were never built to do what the Bushmaster does.
The Kamaz Typhoon K is heavier, taller, and theoretically better protected on paper. Its combat record in Ukraine is a graveyard of burnt-out hulls along the lines around Kherson and Bakhmut. The GAZ Tigr M, Russia’s closest light protected mobility equivalent, carries a flat hull and minimal mine resistance. Russian crews who hit TM-62 anti-tank mines in Tigr Ms have rarely walked out.
The BTR-82A, an amphibious wheeled APC with a flat belly, was designed to ford rivers, not to absorb blasts from underneath. The doctrinal split is older than this war. The Soviet Union built vehicles for breakthrough operations across Central Europe. Russia inherited the doctrine without updating it.
The West, watching Rhodesia and South Africa fight in mines for two decades, and then watching American convoys die on Iraqi highways, built a different vehicle for a different war. Ukraine is fighting that war now with Russian equipment built for the other one. What Australia gave up to send these trucks is the part of this story Canberra is still adding up.
The 120 vehicles transferred represented roughly 12% of the Australian Defense Force fleet of 1,015 delivered Bushmasters. In May 2023, the Australian government signed a 160 million Australian dollar contract with Thales Australia for 78 replacement vehicles. The stated purpose was to restore Australia’s capability after the gifts to Ukraine and to keep the Bendigo production line open.
In July 2024, Canberra placed a 45 million dollar order for 15 command variant Bushmasters to support the army’s incoming HIMARS systems. In January 2025, a 100 million dollar order for 44 more vehicles for land-based maritime missile command and control. And in April 2026, a 750 million Australian dollar order for 268 next generation Bushmasters.
A contract that supports over 290 direct jobs in Bendigo through 2027 and beyond. The donation that began as charity has become an industrial strategy. The war saved Australia’s last remaining armored vehicle production line. Total Australian military aid to Ukraine by late 2025 had exceeded 1.5 billion Australian dollars with overall assistance crossing 1.7 billion.
Canberra is the largest non-NATO contributor to Ukraine’s defense. Back to Kursk. Back to Tour at the wheel, the EOS module slewing silently above him. Kevlar lining the cabin, V hull beneath his boots, 18 paratroopers in full kit waiting at a pickup point that had been Russian territory until August of that year.
He tells the camera there are no drawbacks if you have a good driver. The Bushmaster is not invincible. It is not amphibious. Its fuel consumption is not light. Spare parts come from Bendigo, a long logistical tail across two oceans. It carries no real anti-armor weapon of its own.
Ukraine’s ambassador to Australia, Vasyl Myroshnychenko, conceded in September 2022 that Ukrainian troops were using them almost as infantry fighting vehicles because they did not have anything else. The limitations are honest, so is the verdict. In Lysychansk, an 82-mm mortar exploded next to a wheel and the crew lived. In the Kharkiv counteroffensive, the 80th Brigade rode the trucks deeper than any Soviet vehicle could have taken them.
In Robotyn, the 79th Air Assault Tavria Brigade called the Australian carrier their Broniovany Kenguru, the armored kangaroo. In Kursk, Tur and Solodky used them on Russian soil with a remote weapon station scanning for thermal signatures in the snow. Australia built it for Helmand. Australia almost retired it.
Then a Ukrainian president named it in a parliament. Australian crews painted Ukrainian flags on the doors. 120 trucks flew east on C-17s to fight a war their designers never planned for. Australia called it surplus. Ukraine called it house on wheels. The V hull caught the blast. The seats held the crew. The doors opened.
The paratroopers walked out. Australia built it. Australia almost threw it away. Ukraine made it matter again.
QQ4 Bob Dylan and Keith Richards have been close friends for nearly 40 years. The friendship began on a live television program in November of 1986 in the 11 seconds after Bob Dylan called Keith Richards music derivative on camera. Keith Richard’s response to that assessment, one sentence said without anger, without performance, with the specific directness of a man who has nothing to prove and knows it made Bob Dylan laugh.
Then made Bob Dylan go quiet. then made Bob Dylan say two words that people who know Bob Dylan say he almost never said to anyone. This is the story of those 11 seconds and the 40 years that followed them. The program was a live music interview special broadcast on an American network on the evening of November 3rd, 1986. The format was simple.
Two musicians, a host, an hour of conversation about music and the state of it. The producers had assembled the pairing of Bob Dylan and Keith Richards with the specific calculation of television producers who understand that two people with equally strong and potentially incompatible views about what music is and what it should do will produce better television than two people who agree about everything.
The calculation was correct, though not in the way the producers had anticipated. Bob Dylan was 45 years old in November of 1986. Bob Dylan had released Empire Burlesque the previous year and had been on the road for most of the intervening period as part of the True Confessions tour with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.
Bob Dylan was in November of 1986 in one of the most prolific and restless phases of a career that had consisted almost entirely of prolific and restless phases. A career that had moved through folk, rock, country, gospel, and back again, that had been declared finished at least six times by the music press, and at each time continued with the serene indifference of a river to the opinions of people standing on its banks.
Bob Dylan had been redefining what music could be. Since 1962, Bob Dylan had invented and reinvented himself so many times that reinvention had become his defining characteristic, not in the superficial sense of a performer changing costumes, but in the deeper sense of a musician who had never allowed his work to settle into a form that could be anticipated or categorized from the outside.
Bob Dylan understood influence and originality and the relationship between them better than almost anyone alive in 1986. Bob Dylan had spent 24 years thinking carefully and specifically about where music came from and where music was going and what it meant that those two things were always in constant conversation with each other.
Keith Richards was 42 years old in November of 1986. Keith Richards had been playing guitar professionally since 1962. Keith Richards had built a career on a foundation of American blues and rhythm and blues. A foundation that Keith Richards had studied with the systematic devotion of someone who understood that the tradition he was building on was not incidental to the music he was making, but essential to it.
that you could not understand what Keith Richards did without understanding where Keith Richards had come from and what Keith Richards had been listening to since he was a teenager in Dartford with American Import Records and a secondhand guitar and no teacher except the recordings themselves. Keith Richards had never pretended otherwise. Keith Richards had in fact spent considerable energy across his career making the lineage explicit, naming the artists, citing the recordings, insisting on the acknowledgement of influence that the mainstream music
industry had a long history of suppressing or ignoring or crediting to the wrong people. If anything, Keith Richards was more transparent about his sources than most musicians of his generation. Keith Richards had always said openly that the Rolling Stones came directly from the blues, that Muddy Waters and Robert Johnson and the specific tradition of the Mississippi Delta were not background influences, but foundational ones.
The music Keith Richards made was in direct and sustained conversation with that tradition, something Keith Richards considered not a limitation, but a responsibility and a form of respect. The interview had been running for 8 minutes when the host asked Bob Dylan about the current state of rock and roll.
Bob Dylan answered with the density and the indirection that characterized Bob Dylan’s responses to direct questions, turning the question over, approaching it from an unexpected angle, finding his way to what he actually thought through a series of observations that moved like a river rather than a road. Bob Dylan was not a straightforward interview subject.
Bob Dylan had been asked about rock and roll in hundreds of interviews across 24 years and had developed the habit of treating the question as an invitation to think out loud rather than a request for a prepared position. The producer Gerald Sherman said afterward that in the first 8 minutes of the interview, he had been slightly anxious, not because anything was going wrong, but because nothing was going anywhere in particular yet.
The interview had the feeling of two conversations happening simultaneously. Bob Dylan’s internal one and the external one visible to the cameras. And Gerald Sherman was not certain in those first eight minutes that the two conversations would converge into something. Bob Dylan talked about influence. Bob Dylan talked about originality.
Bob Dylan talked about the difference between music that absorbed a tradition and transformed it and music that absorbed a tradition and reproduced it. And then Bob Dylan made his assessment. And then Bob Dylan said with the precision of a man making a musical assessment rather than a personal judgment that the Rolling Stones work, and Bob Dylan was specific, naming Keith Richards as the guitarist whose approach he was discussing was derivative in a way that Bob Dylan found limiting.
Bob Dylan said it without hostility. Bob Dylan said it as a technical observation about the relationship between source material and the work that came from it. Bob Dylan said that Keith Richards played the blues the way the blues had already been played, rather than using the blues as a starting point for something that had not yet been played.
Keith Richards had been listening to this with the specific attention Keith Richards gave to things being said about music by people who knew music. Keith Richards did not interrupt. Keith Richards did not shift in his chair or display any of the visible signals of a person preparing a defensive response. Keith Richards listened to Bob Dylan’s complete observation all the way to its conclusion without interrupting and without displaying any visible signal of preparing a response.
Then Keith Richards said one sentence. The sentence was not a rebuttal. The sentence did not defend Keith Richards music or argue for its originality or challenge Bob Dylan’s characterization of what the blues meant in the context of rock and roll. The sentence was something else entirely, something that required a specific kind of confidence to say.
The confidence of a person who has spent long enough thinking about the same things as the person they are talking to that they can locate the exact point where their thinking diverges and say something useful about that point rather than simply defending their own position. The sentence acknowledged everything Bob Dylan had said, the assessment, the distinction Bob Dylan was drawing, the specific musical concern underlying the observation, and then turned it 90°.
Keith Richards took Bob Dylan’s own framework, the one Bob Dylan had used to analyze Keith Richards relationship to the blues tradition, and applied it back to Bob Dylan’s work with the same precision Bob Dylan had used to apply it to Keith Richards. Spare aimed. The sentence asked Bob Dylan something about Bob Dylan’s own music, about the relationship between Bob Dylan’s sources and Bob Dylan’s output that Bob Dylan had not been asked on television before.
The sentence did not attack. The sentence illuminated. Bob Dylan laughed. The laugh was not the polite laugh of someone responding to a joke. The laugh was the involuntary laugh of someone who has been genuinely surprised. The specific kind of surprise that a person of exceptional intelligence experiences when someone else’s intelligence exceeds their expectations.
Bob Dylan laughed for 4 seconds. Then Bob Dylan stopped laughing. Then Bob Dylan was quiet for 3 seconds in the way that Bob Dylan was quiet when Bob Dylan was thinking rather than performing thought. Then Bob Dylan said, “You’re right.” The producer in the booth, a man named Gerald Sherman, who had been working in television for 14 years, said afterward that in 14 years of live television production, he had never heard Bob Dylan say those two words in a public forum.
Gerald Sherman said he had worked with Bob Dylan on two previous occasions and had observed Bob Dylan in numerous other contexts and that you’re right was not a phrase that Bob Dylan deployed easily or often because Bob Dylan had spent 24 years being right about music in ways that other people eventually caught up with. And the experience of being right ahead of everyone else does not generally produce a man who says you’re right readily when someone else makes a point.
The host of the program, a journalist named Patricia Wells, who had been interviewing musicians for 12 years, said afterward that the 11 seconds between Bob Dylan’s assessment and Bob Dylan saying, “You’re right,” were the most extraordinary 11 seconds of television she had been present for. Patricia Wells said that what she witnessed in those 11 seconds was not a debate or a confrontation or a celebrity exchange of competing opinions.
Patricia Wells said what she witnessed was one musician recognizing another musician as an equal, which was in the specific context of Bob Dylan in 1986, not something that happened in public very often. The interview continued for another 42 minutes after those 11 seconds. The conversation between Bob Dylan and Keith Richards in the remaining 42 minutes was described by everyone who watched it as fundamentally different from the first 8 minutes.
The host, Patricia Wells, who had been conducting music interviews for 12 years and understood the difference between the performance of conversation and actual conversation, said that at approximately the 9-minute mark, something shifted in the studio. That the formal interview, architecture dissolved, and what replaced it was something less structured and more genuine.
Bob Dylan and Keith Richards talked about influence and originality and the blues and what it meant to build on a tradition without being consumed by it. They talked about specific recordings and specific musicians with the specificity of two people who had spent their entire adult lives thinking about these things and rarely found another person who had thought about them with equivalent care.
They talked about where music came from and where music was going and whether those two questions were actually one question or two. Patricia Wells said afterward that she had asked approximately four questions in the remaining 42 minutes because Bob Dylan and Keith Richards did not require questions. They required only a room and a camera and the shared understanding that what they were saying together was worth recording carefully.
She said it was the best interview she had ever conducted and that she had conducted the smallest part of it. After the program, Bob Dylan and Keith Richards were in the corridor outside the studio when the host Patricia Wells passed them. Patricia Wells said she did not stop because she did not want to interrupt.
She observed them for approximately 30 seconds from a distance. She said they were talking with the ease of people who had known each other for years rather than people who had met for the first time 2 hours earlier. She said that something had shifted between them during the broadcast that the broadcast had made permanent rather than temporary.
She continued down the corridor and did not look back. She said in her account of that evening that she had decided in that moment not to interrupt the conversation because some conversations are more valuable than any question a journalist might ask and that the conversation she had observed for 30 seconds in the corridor outside the studio was one of them.
She had been a music journalist for 12 years. She recognized the difference. Bob Dylan and Keith Richards have maintained their friendship across four decades. They have appeared together at various events, most significantly at the concert for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1995, where people who were present described them as inseparable for most of the evening, occupying the same corner of the backstage area and talking with the concentrated attention of people who only have a limited amount of time together and intend to use it
well. Bob Dylan has spoken about Keith Richards in interviews with the specific thoughtful care that Bob Dylan reserves for musicians whose work Bob Dylan considers genuinely important rather than merely culturally prominent. Keith Richards has spoken about Bob Dylan in similar terms with the specific respect of someone who recognizes in another person a commitment to music that goes deeper than career.
Neither Bob Dylan nor Keith Richards has made a public statement specifically about how the friendship began or about the November 1986 interview. Bob Dylan has not mentioned the 11 seconds. Keith Richards has not mentioned the sentence. The interview exists in the archive. The 11 seconds are there. The laugh is there. The two words are there.
What is also there for anyone who watches the interview from its beginning and pays attention to the shift that happens at the 9-minute mark is the specific moment when two people who thought they were appearing on a television program discovered they were actually talking to each other. What Keith Richards said in that one sentence has never been officially reported.
The people who were in the studio that evening, Gerald Sherman, Patricia Wells, the floor crew, the two camera operators, the makeup artist who was watching from the side of the set, have described the sentence in consistent terms. They have described its effect. They have described Bob Dylan’s laugh and Bob Dylan’s silence and Bob Dylan’s two words.
They have not repeated the sentence itself in the specific understanding that the sentence was said between two musicians on a television program and that its power resided in the specific context of that exchange and would not survive removal from it intact. What can be said is this. Keith Richards said something to Bob Dylan about Bob Dylan’s music that used Bob Dylan’s own observation about Keith Richards as its starting point and arrived somewhere that Bob Dylan had not anticipated.
Keith Richards turned Bob Dylan’s assessment 90° and showed Bob Dylan something about the music they had both spent their lives making that Bob Dylan recognized immediately as true. And Bob Dylan said, “You’re right.” Two words said by Bob Dylan in public on live television in 1986 to Keith Richards in response to a single sentence Keith Richards had said about music.
Two words that Gerald Sherman, who had worked with Bob Dylan on two previous occasions, said he had never heard Bob Dylan say in a public forum. Two words that Patricia Wells, who had been interviewing musicians for 12 years, said were the most significant two words she had heard in those 12 years. Not because of their content, but because of who said them and what it cost to say them and what it meant that Keith Richards had produced them in 11 seconds from a conversation that began with Bob Dylan calling Keith Richards’s music derivative. And Keith Richards and
Bob Dylan have been close friends for nearly 40 years. The sentence did its work in 11 seconds on the evening of November 3rd, 1986. The work has been ongoing ever since.
