So what is the big deal? Most of the tanks / APCs run away, suffered minimal losses - about same losses as inflicted by a single Russian helicopter on a single sortie - or actually less.

Ukraine had no way to touch them and it was composed of different units that went into different staging areas and are now slowly moving south to encircle the city. They were probably used as well in the fight for Hostomel airport area that occurred recently. Overall both sides take losses & Russians so far are clearly winning.

@spaceman9599 first of all, what do you know about their goals. You claim to know what Putin thinks? The stated goals did not mention any cities. 2nd kill ratio is certainly in favor of Russia by wide margin as they are advancing and Ukraine cannot counter attack other then locally. If Russians are advancing and there is 2x less of them then Ukrainians the kill ratio in both man and equipment has to favor them. One has to note that both sides deployed about same number of tanks. If Russian tanks were destroyed en masse how come we don't see ukraine counter attack, advancing and taking land. Use logic.

Yep, minimal losses. You can see whole column moving away. Quick reaction from commanders.

Its their old crap - no need to use latest greatest - they are fighting in Ukraine not against US.

@er6890 And you believe all that is said. Video also shows Ukrainian tanks at 1:00. What are they doing there exactly? This feels like a montage of different videos for effect. I am not even 100% convinced that the burning vehicles shown are Russian or Ukrainian, hard to see. Only at 0:15 you see a tank hit from the rear.

@er6890 OK, lets call time frame 1:00.5 you can see tank without any marks. Certainly not Russian. The front V is on T-72s. Its is certainly not T-80, they usually have rubber skirts on the turret. Look at time frame 0:31 all Russian tanks are in the same area. Now look at 0:59 and 1:00.5 - there are two tanks on the sides. One is at least 300m away from engagement and the other is at least 600m. Now hold the 1:00 frame, look at the tracks of tanks next to the courtyard. There are almost none - in the distance. Now go back to 0:25 lots of tank tracks as they are moving out. So time frame 1:00 is before time frame 0:25 and thus why there are tanks that are not there at 1:00.

@er6890 I am still a bit puzzled at no ID marks and the T-72 does not look like version Russia uses - I am not 100% sure, but I do not see K-5 ERA - I am talking about the one 600 m away. Without clear markings from above with clear Z it could be taken out by Russian air power. So it feels 100% Ukrainian. Also why would they do the montage upside down?

If they were winning Russia would not be advancing daily.
