1503 days of war.
Another fiery day in the life of KhAI.
And this is no exaggeration.
A torch burning in front of the main building…
A half-century-old beautiful Christmas tree — it took the entire blow.
And again the trees saved us.
And this is also the history of Khai during wartime.
Like the enemy drones that flew over Kharkiv today.
Broken glass. Doors blown out. A car that was towed away.
Already familiar voices “after arrival.”
Noise. Grinders working.
Chainsaws humming. Work is in full swing under the windows.
And no one needs to explain anything.
No one stands aside.
Regardless of age or position — they pull glass, take out frames, sweep away debris.
We are all one family. Without pathos. As it is.
The only family that went through 1503 days of hell.
Thank you to everyone who kept themselves in check and acted in an organized manner during the alarm.
Therefore, no deaths.
No injuries.
No serious injuries.
Thank you to the Lord.
Our KhAI Institute, the Main Building — hold on.
We will overcome everything. And we will meet our 96th birthday.
Thank you, KhAI students — for your courage, for your resilience, for your steel aerospace character.
Glory to KhAI Institute!
Glory to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who held the sky over Kharkiv today.
Glory to Ukraine!
