It doesn’t matter much, changing bogies is a relatively quick and easy task, they could use that money better for other defense development.
The Russian military recognized as early as 1841 that operations to disrupt railway track did not depend on the gauge, and should instead focus on destroying bridges and tunnels
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5_ft_and_1520_mm_gauge_railways
Actually Russian gauge is not 1524mm, but 1520mm! Finland has unique gauge not used anywhere else in the World, although that 4mm difference allows most bogies to be compatible with both of them, international trains can run through the border without bogie exchange.
So the point of the article is right, butnot perfect in details. I love trains.
Thank you for your service!
Tom Scott has a video of a rotating house, the plumbing uses the same logic there, they made some nice animations: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gisdyTBMNyQ

Depends on the pope, I guess Formosus was fired in 896:
The Cadaver Synod (also called the Cadaver Trial; Latin: Synodus Horrenda) is the name commonly given to the ecclesiastical trial of Pope Formosus, who had been dead for about seven months, in the Basilica of St. John Lateran. The trial was conducted by Pope Stephen VI, the successor to Formosus’ successor, Pope Boniface VI. Stephen had Formosus’ corpse exhumed and brought to the papal court for judgment. He accused Formosus of perjury, of having acceded to the papacy illegally, and illegally presiding over more than one diocese at the same time.
Eventually, the corpse was found guilty. […] Stephen then cut off the three fingers of the right hand that it had used in life for blessings, next formally invalidating all of Formosus’ acts and ordinations (including his ordination of Stephen VI as bishop of Anagni). The body was finally interred in a graveyard for foreigners, only to be dug up once again, tied to weights, and cast into the Tiber River.

Tanks and jets also pose some amount of obstacle, and they may have a better roi.
Until the Helsinki Talllin tunnel is built it doesn’t make a lot of sense.
