  1.  @Anyonymous92  You’ll say anything to avoid being sent to fight in Ukraine, GRU troll. Gotta make those quotas.

  2. That was brutal. I’m happy Ukrainian soldiers are doing what it takes to win, but that was hard to watch, knowing it’s not just a movie.

  3. I can’t believe they forgot to set the parking brake before running for shelter.

  4.  @jonnykidnap4082  I’m just wondering how the Russians remove the bodies of their dead soldiers in an IFV. A wire brush and scraper, then a quick pass with a shop vacuum?

  5.  @BelloBudo007  Russian military had a limited amount of drones at the beginning. They can’t buy more drones due to sanctions. They can’t buy components to make more due to sanctions. (Side note: apparently the Russian military was paying $100,000 for recon drones that were assembled with < $5000 worth of consumer grade parts. They might have stockpiled 10x the amount of drones for the amount they paid.) When Russia loses a piece of equipment that uses silicon from Taiwan or South Korea, that equipment will not be replaced.

  6.  @okanaktug364  Uh, no. China is not sending weapons. Don’t wait at home for the delivery man. Chechens can’t send many fighters, or the government will be overthrown. Syrian fighters? Ooookay. Belarus military has threatened to quit if ordered into Russia, from the top generals down to the humblest private. India wants to play both sides and get some concessions from Russia. Face it, Russia is isolated. It has no real friends, just opportunists hoping to gain advantage.

  7.  @safetyoff.4430  That’s funny. The blast of the explosion is channeled by the trench. I don’t think he was able to cover the bomb with his body. More like, they were shooting at the drone, and the soldier said, “You guys got this. I’ll be right back, I need to change my pants.”

  8.  @LEE-nh5ut  lol, it’s hard to believe someone could post a comment that stupid, but you proved it could be done.

  9.  @jetzenijeboer4854  Your understanding is impeccable. The KGB ran and organized the black market and criminal underworld in the USSR. The original Bolsheviks had connections to organized crime even before the revolution. SMERSH was originally formed as a bandit organization with state approval. Stalin was an honest-to-God bank robber before he joined the party. The Soviet Union was a house of kleptocracy, with a display of socialism in the front window. The only thing that changed is the gangsters rebranded the country, changed the name and logo, and changed the window display.

  11.  @jamauljacobs9542  I know you’ll anger some people because you’re a Russian bot. But I think it’s great how you’re cheating your employer with these lackluster comments. Russian quality control strikes again. Keep it up, bro.

  12. If this tank was knocked out by a javelin, it wasn’t high velocity, but rather a shaped charge. A shaped charge as you might know, cuts a hole into the armor somewhat like a plasma torch. The counter measure for this is explosive reactive armor, which causes the shaped charge to prematurely detonate, but the latest generation of AT weapons (such as the Javelin) have a two stage payload to defeat this. Older AT weapons do not. However, we’ve seen video of captured Russian tanks that shows the ERA containers filled with cardboard! The tankers might have thought they had some protection against AT weapons, but apparently they did not due to incompetence, unpreparedness, or corruption.

  13.  @ghignoluv  The opinion polls taken BEFORE the invasion say that for the first time, more than 50% of Finns want to join NATO. I think that’s a huge change from last year when it was in the 40s. Those against are 26% and the remainder are undecided.
    7
  14.  @luisgalindo4530  but the generals do have a choice. They can refuse a criminal order, and bravely accept the consequences. They can resign, either quietly or publicly to show their opposition. Look what happened in Belarus that has kept the Belarusian military out of it. The top general/minister of defense resigned, and other generals threatened to resign. The Belarus president has allowed Putin to use his country, but not his soldiers because he faces mutiny.

  15.  @jalilbabi4161  The only thing Ukraine is “loosing” is a shitload of whoopass on the Red Army.

  16. My name is Giovanni Giorgio but everyone calls me Giorgio.

  17. Nah. It wasn’t actually a tank, it was a IFV or APC. Those don’t carry ERA. Half the reactive armor on actual tanks doesn’t work anyway. Some clever procurement officers filled the boxes with cardboard, sold the ERA to India, and bought themselves property in London.

  18. Really, Canada should be at the top of the list. But most importantly, these three allies trained the Ukrainian military to train itself. And now I bet the Ukrainian NCOs could return the favor and impart some experience, strength, and hope to our forces.

  19.  @IRISHSALTMINER61  it must be so hard to cope with Arnold Schwarzenegger doing all that shilling for the globe.

  20. We just don’t know, unless you have other more detailed information. Normal procedure would be to just quietly relieve ineffective generals, and put other generals in their place whose abilities and stance are more in line with military objectives. Calling generals out as traitors is a pretty big deal and indicates there is more going on.

  23. There’s been a lot of recent sightings of “N” tanks, but the public will be relieved to know that these are just Z tanks knocked over on their sides.

  24.  @brutusjudas5842  Western armies are still governed by rules, as Sylvia says. These rules might be different from civilian laws, but they can’t be overruled by an arbitrary military or civilian power. Military rule based discipline is the backbone of a strong military in a democracy.
    3
  25.  @brutusjudas5842  No, I didn’t make your point, I argued the opposite of your point. I take it that English isn’t your native language? Let me put my point forward once again: militaries in democracies are rule based and exercise of power is not arbitrary. A court martial might be different from civilian criminal courts, but they are bound by the same principles of justice as the civil society that they protect. If the Ukrainian government is democratic, there will be no show trials in a kangaroo court, nor will there be a secret trial with a predetermined result. There will be a court martial with evidence presented and questioned. There will be the opportunity for the defense to present counter-evidence. Wartime doesn’t change this, even if the government has emergency powers. I guess we will see how much of a democracy Ukraine really is, but rule of law is a foundation of military discipline. Without military discipline, you get a sh¡t-show like we see in Russia.

  26. Except for the anomalous years of 2016-2020 and at some points during the 60s, non-violent protests and non-violent civil disobedience are part of our national fabric.

  27. Nah. All he wants is the freedom to go home, provide for his family, and be left alone by the Kremlin. He doesn’t want a medal. But why would you want to give him one? His two main objections is that they’re not being properly equipped and the pay is bad. If this company gets the arms and equipment they want and the pay they want, are they then going to go into battle and murder Ukrainians?

  30.  @muuuuuud  When I heard about how the ruble had crashed, I thought, “At least they won’t have any toilet paper shortages”. But it turns out that because of sanctions, their debit cards don’t work at the ATM, so they have to wait in long line to go into bank for toilet paper money. It’s real terrible—many Russians are pooping in their pants while waiting hours in line and unable to clean their butts. The best option now for ordinary Russian citizens is to withdraw all their rubles now while they can to insure they have a stockpile of toilet paper.

  31. The nervous grins was because it’s shameful that they must tell a lie to explain the yellow suits. I don’t think most Russians will miss the symbolism.
    2
  32. They’re blithely driving around like this because they think this is territory that they control. This is not near a “hot zone”, unless you want to consider all of “Russian controlled” territory a hot zone. When the Russian forces advance, they leave behind an area that they cannot secure, so Ukrainian units can move in behind them and wait for a moment such as this. This is one reason the Russians have bogged down and their advance is crawling. They cannot secure their flanks. They cannot secure their rear areas. They don’t have enough soldiers in Ukraine and they can’t spare reserves needed in other parts of Russia.

  34. Plan to rendezvous with Moskva is underway!

  35.  @victorzvyagintsev1325  Uh, Ukraine was/is a manufacturer of Soviet style armaments before the invasion, including tanks. Look up T-84.

  36.  AA Kostic  She didn’t say that. Stop being obtuse. She is saying that Ukraine’s military should be a rule based one that requires such evidence to be presented in a court martial, and that the defense be allowed to question that evidence and provide counter evidence. “During wartime” doesn’t change that. It is during wartime that it is most important.

  37. The convoys have suffered from raids behind the lines but there is less video being taken to document it because of the situation.

  38. This comment is very disrespectful to the Mother of Modern Russian Tank Design, Dr. Ivanna Popov.

  39. Lol, heck no!

  40. It’s too bad there was no audio. I wanted to hear what 20 tanks in reverse, all going “beep-beep-beep” sounded like. Make that 19 tanks. Wait, 18. No, 17.

  41. The VDV officer that got fired must be thanking his lucky star that he was replaced. Maybe his luck will change his heart and he will work to end Russia’s senseless war. He’s been given a chance to redeem himself.

  42. “Found one!” 😫 Good lord. The probably saw evidence of mines on the road, and thought they were being smart by driving on the field. Do the Russians not have engineering companies or battalions? Or were they in too much of a hurry?

  43.  @ianbrown8171  it was bag containing a wire brush, a scraper, and a vacuum cleaner, so the surviving tanker can recover his crewmates’ bodies.

  44.  @YansPL  that tank should have quit smoking and taken up a healthier lifestyle, like not invading Ukraine.
    2
  45.  @hamzterix  Probably, but it was still a quick death. It’s going to require wire brushes and BBQ scrapers to recover their bodies.

  49. That was confirmed by UKR defense forces? I’m concerned it might be a false flag to give Putin the excuse to declare war and escalate.

  50. Bad news. 😟 Who are these generals? What have they done? Ukraine will win sooner or later, but having traitors might help delay Russia’s inevitable loss.

  51.  @KCBRYAN_1525  I hate to say it, but if Putin keeps doubling down and moving closer to using a nuke, it might be the horrible case that a first strike on Russia is the best solution.

  52. I’d be careful about assumptions before Ukraine confirms. Russia has not officially declared war yet, and denies to the Russian people it is at war, as you know. This prevents them from calling up reservists. The lack of a state of war means that the more experienced conscripts are about to be released from service, to be replaced by a new herd of fresh faced teenagers. What I am saying is that a nearly impossible attack like this might be a false flag operation to prepare the Russian public for a declaration of war, so that Russia can switch to a war time mobilization. It might be Russia attacking itself to sway public opinion and give Putin the justification for escalation—and I know it might be hard to imagine how he could be more murderous towards the civilian population, but he can if he can convince the Russian people that Ukraine is an existential threat to them. Edit: but if I am wrong and this attack speeds up the exit of Russian forces from Ukraine, then I say Hallelujah!

  53.  @ApunkDaydreamLamunanOi  For sure, some childhood experience twisted Putin’s soul. If we can discover who bullied him, and pinpoint the moment that he was beat up in some St. Petersburg schoolyard, we might be able to build a time machine, go back a little further in time, and abort his mother’s pregnancy.

  56. They were digging in, digging foxholes and trenches in radioactive soil, is what they were really doing. You realize that Russia discourages its people from learning about Chernobyl. It’s likely that the soldiers and their immediate leaders had no idea what happened at Chernobyl.

  57.  @furuwrecker1420  Agreed, but I feel some sympathy for the Russian trolls. If they don’t post their trash, they’ll get sent to Ukraine and die face down in the mud.

  59.  @ytafalk3757  Puta madre, Russians are the mother and father of corruption. Ukrainian corruption is “on hold” because Ukraine’s survival is at stake, imbécil. This whole invasion is the result of corruption and Russia’s failure to win is a result of corruption. If you get hungry, go eat an oligarch.

  60.  @turkofalbanianorigine1629  Sadly for Russia, no league outside of Russia will admit Russia again. Russia can go play with itself.

  61.  @vaitstream6227  I hope you were able to say good bye to your friend, because he is not coming back to Russia. Unless he was posted to Chernobyl, in which case he will be sent east to die of radiation poisoning while hidden from Russian society.
    1
  62.  @evolassunglasses4673  No, the UKR defense forces are not surrounded in the East. Russia has too many fronts, and has failed to connect them. Your lies become ever wilder and unbelievable the more desperate you become. Too many people recognize you as a troll, and they recognize that you trade in lies and propaganda.

  63.  @HistorialChannel  buena snoches, amigo. It looked like the Russian tanks were popping smoke. Was this to help their enemies identify their locations? 😄 I’m guessing that they meant to conceal themselves with smoke, but the wind prevented the smoke from pooling around them? Ay chihuahua, what a desmadre! Atte:from Mexico.

  64. That’s state controlled media for you. The narrative here is that Russia is liberating Ukraine from the evil NATO. Of course they’re not going to acknowledge the savage fighting against Ukrainians.

  65. Headline writers’ knowledge isn’t generally deep enough to distinguish between an APC, an IFV, SPA, or a MBT. They should just go with armored vehicle or AFV so you don’t get sand in your underwear, but they don’t listen to me.
    1
  66. Preparations for a post-thaw counteroffensive. Watch for this to happen: Russian attacks, making slow progress until they are spent, then counterattacks from UKR that grow into a broad offensive campaign to Push Russia out. Watch and remember—there might be discouraging days ahead, but it’s part of the plan to draw out Russian attacks.

  68. I haven’t confirmed this report, but I just heard that Irpin was attacked yesterday by Russian ground forces and it was shelled before and after. The Ukrainians blew up a major bridge to prevent Russian forces from re-entering the town center. All of which to say, Russia doesn’t seem to be moving forces away from Kiev if they’re still attacking. No ceasefire was declared. I wouldn’t trust Putin even if a ceasefire was agreed.

  69. This wasn’t a retreat, this was a rout.

  72.  @sylviaelse5086  There are a lot of Russian trolls and anti-democracy nutcases in these comments. There might be quite a few ignorant people that never bothered to study democratic governance—a group that encompasses the Russian trolls, the anti-democracy nuts, and the just plain stupid people.

  73.  @mitchwinder1204  like a biography of the first woman tank designer, Ivanna Popov?

  74. Thinking about it in terms of the arms industry, this is a good business partnership. Poland and Korea each have expertise in designing weapons and weapon research that compliments the other. The U.S.A. was once called the “Armory of Democracy”. I think it can only help Democracy if it has more than one armory.

  76. All is according to plan. Vehicle was being sent to rendezvous with Moskva.

  80.  @BigSkyCurmudgeon  Apparently a lot these tanks don’t have explosive reactive armor to defend against HEAT rounds. They have the ERA boxes attached to the hull, but the boxes are empty or filled with cardboard. Oh, Russian corruption, you’re soooo naughty!

  81.  @foreverhungry84  or open field maneuver with large masses of tanks. But the Russians seem to stick to the roads, like they’re afraid to take the tanks cross country.

  85.  @chiron13  No, dude. No one literally buries a tank when the crew dies like this. They have to send someone inside with wire brush, a scraper, and one of those dirt devil automotive vacuums, and then they pour the ash and the uncooked bits into a regular wooden coffin.

  86.  @BegoDan  When the support infantry saw the Ukrainian position they were supposed to take, they charged forward, waving white flags.

  87.  @mepp_rider7221  Yeah, those paratroop units choppered in were supposed to be reinforced immediately and relieved within 72 hours by those tank columns that got stuck on the road. The reinforcements got shot down because Russia never managed to establish significant air superiority. You’ve heard of the WWII operation Market-Garden? Let’s just say that Russia’s initial plan was “an airport too far”.

  89.  @melinagoranson  You’re forgetting that, due to the logistics problems, there aren’t enough driver diapers to go around. When the next driver gets attacked and poops in his pants, they’ll have to pull over and clean up.
    1
  90.  @ivanramos1809  There was also small arms fire coming from the side. I’m not saying it’s the same video, but it’s possible the driver was struck by rifle fire and that’s why he drove off the road.

  94.  @russiansarefilthyapes1660  I understand that sentiment. But I pray that the Russian people wake the eff up, grow a spine, and throw out Putin and all his Putinistas. If they do not, they are just as responsible as Putin.

  101.  @aidenaesthetics1916  That’s why surrender is preferable. They’ll be sent to a safe area and finally get a square meal.

  102. Dang! The Russians were planning on eating that oil after they ran out of food.

  103. That’s not survivable. If Russia wants to recover the bodies of the tankers, they’ll need to bring a wire brush and a scraper.

  104.  @forestreematters5406  We really have no idea. There are a number of possibilities, but it’s all speculation until we learn the generals’ identities and their responsibilities. Least likely, but worst case, is that they were spies. More likely, but unproven, is that they were engaged in some form of corruption. It’s also possible that there is a lot of circumstantial evidence, but the generals are innocent of treason, although I put small odds on that. But I’m just guessing.
