A moving swarm of locusts that is 800 hectares will mess up a lot of crops in a hurry.
"In Kalmikya, Astrakhan, Volgagrad, and Dagestan, there is already no food left for the locusts, so they have moved on to other sources of food," says Tatiana Drishcheva of the Russia Argricultural Center, a government organization.
First two cities are over 200km apart, cant be bothered to check the rest. Pretty large area affected.
RT will soon be breaking that these are Israeli genetically modified locusts.
