I love the smell of burning Russian tanks in the morning.
pandajack
Right in the brovaries.
crazymJunkie
Lol its amazing how there looking so incompetent…
Funnybanana
We need to send Ukraine more use so they can pinpoint their artillery
denbrice
Fuck Putin. Killing civilians, committing warcrimes, and sending all these young men to their deaths. Hope he dies a slow and painful death.
kakivara
Based on the video, it looks like the tanks get bunched up here after coming in from the north-east: https://goo.gl/maps/SwBQKQNLosusUDQ66

Gives a new meaning to the term "my brovaries exploded".

That was the 6th Regiment / 90th Tank Division. Audio of the retreating tanks describes the ambush as having “wiped us out” (Reg = 10 tanks)

The video shows textbook convoy ambush; destroy lead vehicle, then a rear vehicle, trapping the vehicles in between and destroying them.
BarfMonger
They rolled right into it. while massed together. Not only are they barbarians they are stupid barbarians.
gablestout
It also shows a Tank Regiment Commander who was an absolute fool. In urban terrain you spread them wide and protect with dismounted infantry

Eventually, Russians will see what a bunch of incompetents are defending them, and how they are ruled by a fool.

My favorite is seeing russian artillery units absolutely messed up

Their military is built around tanks. But they have no modern tanks. And the tanks they do have are death traps.
gablestout
But it's not like they don't have tank doctrine. FFS! Urban terrain! You need to protect your tanks with dismounted infantry!
WoopDeFrickenDoo
they have 2 modern Armatas that break down on parade though
Account3577
They are afraid to deploy them. The tractors are too powerful.
danlei

Beardedgeek72
Also a LOT of Turkish drones, which apparently are VERY effective, and Erdogan ships a ton to Ukraine
CardeasIV
Ye well they say they didnt,that "private companies sell them to whoever they need"so they keep good name in Russia...they dont block it tho
AmazinglyCoolNameHere
Ukraine apparently has their own nice drones too, called Punishers
iusedtodream
Erdogan is a mass murderer, but I'm grateful Turkey sent aid.
Beardedgeek72
Duh. But he likes having money and stuff. And IS part of Nato
iusedtodream
Oh. That's an interesting dynamic. Guess he chose his side. Smart choice.

Fuck, I could watch Russian tank columns eat shit all day, I don't give a shit about your Russian tank columns.

I can feel it in my Brovaries. It’s nice: feels like a tickle, sounds like “Slava Ukraini”:

That earworms back. I'm singing along even though I don't speak the language.
jjw9
+1 … Those tank turrets pointed in every direction — they have no idea from where they are being hit. Mass confusion, then fiery death.
CantStopTheRock
I could watch tank columns eat shit all day. I don't give a shit about your tanks.
ObviousPidgeon
Oh no James. You fell? … you fell, James??
Sarnion
2 tanks 1 cup?
TheSpleen
The number of officers they are losing is amazing
TheSpectrumRabbit
This makes my brovaries swell.
IAmGORT
Oh for s Squadron of A10 Warthogs. Or a few Apache attack choppers. Drones whatever, give & Ukraine air superiority now. Fuck these cunts
thesmelge
That sounds like a great way to end up with a lot of crashed Apaches and A10's, because probably nobody in Ukraine has ever driven one.
IAmGORT
Well technically there is even away around that President Zelensky can grant instant Ukrainian citizenship to experience pilots therefore>>
IAmGORT
'technically' they would be Ukrainian pilots at the time of engagement from the various platforms & be seriously punishing Russian positions
Selfawerewolf
The US won't even facilitate the hand-off of Poland's MiGs right now so we're a ways away from A10s and Apaches, sadly. =(
search4bigfoot
Weak turret armor + crew sitting on top of an autoloader with live rounds = fireball, dead crew, sometimes turret ejection

The Russians are out downvoting again. Don't like that I just pointed out the weakness in their tanks.
OMGamIImguringCorrectly
Thing that is scary is that if he keeps getting his ass handed to him, he's going to prove he can win and that's when we all lose.
TrueNorthernLights
He'll nuke Ukraine just so no one else can have it, just watch.
Cthulhuchooseyou
He starts throwing nukes, the world gets involved. Putin is shit.
KnifeKnut

I don't think so, because that isn't a win. Destroying everything would just make him history's most hated person.

Read an article allegedly translated from someone in the FSB, which brought up a good point:
VaultGirl69
He's not the only one in charge. It may be an internal struggle between him and some oligarchs against others. Tragically stupid.
kepattRunner
I’m not a history buff, but isn’t that their thing? Winning by sacrificing all of their people and being cold? Correct me if I’m wrong pls
Maevellous
Nah that's the short of it.
kepattRunner
Russia straight up sucks
ILogInToUpvote
I have a feeling most of the world militaries are on high alert right now with air defense systems ready to take out any launched nukes.
slashdotfx
Yes, NATO moved their air defense system close to Poland border recently, and that is the reason.
TheSupremeCrabMaster
Nothing can protect you from a full-scale nuclear strike. That's the point of having nukes: mutual deterrence.
Chimichanga007
You can't stop them all. Even the USAF says this. And a few are enough.
ManWithJob
Sadly, there is no true deterrent for a nuke that had already deployed.
Mopey
Clearly some of y'all have never played MW2.
ILogInToUpvote
Here's hoping they're capable of shutting down anything Putin fires in a temper tantrum.
CatchySensibleName
We have no effective defense against hypersonic missles.
CardeasIV
Its a dream,tho.Anti missile defenses are nice and all,but even in contained enviroment far from even 75%..and with nukes you need to miss 1
RARusk
So, basically we need to find the world's best Missile Command player and put him in charge. Improve the odds a little bit at least.
CardeasIV
Once they order the red buttons press,theres last chance for the people around him say fuck no and hit him with a frying pan.If they dont,gg
Mack1986
You are also assuming A) Russian nukes are in good shape. B) his people will launch. C) we somehow won't see the launch prep
CardeasIV
B is our biggest hope here, happened in Cuba Crisis may happen again....A is tru, but for US he only needs the great ones, for EU mediocre
CardeasIV
However there COULD be CHANCE of non whole fkin world ending if he "only" nukes like Kyiv...Think Hiroshima, like "boom,look i won its over"
Tedztical
Let's no forget Nagasaki
CardeasIV
And world decides to let him have it as opposed to yknow, armaggeddon...
Thajurriesexcuesed
If we let him take Ukraine because of fear he'll "nuke the world" he will surely attack another of his neighbors. We need to stand firm now!
Chimichanga007
But he won't attack NATO
Thajurriesexcuesed
If he gets his pawn back in the white house, he won't have to...
Thorbane
Given how well the russian military has done against just Ukraine, the EU could win handily.
davyclam
Totally. I guess all these appeasement knobheads have never read a history book.
Thajurriesexcuesed
You don't have to guess, they will openly tell you they don't read books!
aethryll
The general world response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine stands in stark contrast to Germany's remilitarization of the Rhineland, >
aethryll
annexation of Czechoslovakia, or even the invasion of Poland. I get your sentiment, and agree that appeasement doesn't work, but let's not>
aethryll
forget that massive alliances and immediate declarations of war led to WWI and by extension WWII.
PrincessPuffyPants
I'm 100% behind Ukraine but I hate seeing all these people die for literally fucking nothing but a small man's need for power.
FuzzyX
It is all... Kill or be killed. Defend Kyiv or lose Kyiv. But we should blame the Russian leaders for creating such cannon fodder.
MrHowe
Is there any possibility of a positive end to all this? I can't see putin giving up and their country is being demolished. Wish a power -
MrHowe
Step up and say this is unacceptable. Sanctions may work but a whole lot of people will die first
Xerrai
Yes. However, seeing tanks flying the soviet flag made me a tad less sad
BarfMonger
They are dead because they drove right into an ambush some place that looks like a great place for an ambush. Hope they keep doing it.
SmokyDoggg
That's war in a nutshell. Always has been.
ArchMagos
Ikwilstroopwaffels
They can surrender at any time.
Nunyajonesinc
War, war never changes
keillrandor
It has often always been thus.

There was a post earlier showing these Russians stealing chickens. They people are desperate peasants conscripted for their king.
kuukerinelli
"Russki is a russki even if you cook him with butter." - old finnish saying.
kuukerinelli
Ryssä on ryssä vaikka voissa paistais.
WeaponizedJerk
Fuck them. They had plenty of time to realize what they were doing is wrong. Those who did and gave a fuck fled/surrendered.
WeaponizedJerk
These assholes are here mostly because they're fine with it.
SuspiciousCactus
"Following orders" is a really bad excuse. If your orders are to bomb a childrens hospital or gas Jews, you should rather die then follow.
CatBeagler
If they don't turn on Putin, their lives as forfeit and meaningless as those of the women & children in that maternity ward were to Putin.
Andrei
So do something about it. Crying online does not help at all.
echonite
Those that remain are willful participants at this point.
TrueNorthernLights
Nope
echonite
Yup. Decision by indecision. Because they choose remain, they are accomplices, and are willfully participating.
afterdarkart
All this for what? Kill thousands, put in a Putin clone and leave? Serves nothing. NOTHING!
Askarus
they could have crossed into Ukraine, taken off their uniform, and surrendered.
iusedtodream
Yep. There's always a choice.
PeeterGrant
True but it's a frying pan or fire type deal.
IHeartSwissChocolate
Maybe not an option. They fear if they surrender Putin will imprison or kill their families in Russia. He punishes those he 1/
IHeartSwissChocolate
2/ considers traitor. He could make an example of families of those who surrendered/captured. He could use this for propaganda & control.
Denique
The change has to come from within Russia. Putler needs to be taken out. People need to create the change for their country.
afsdpckapjadfkasef

Hey, it's not a small man's need for power. It's a very small man's need for power.

Agreed.. if they knew how to defect and dared to do so
LespritDeLescalier22
War. War never changes
DocWino
At this point they know they were lied to, and are advancing anyway. RIPieces.
annonymouse211
They could literally not have gone. Or surrendered immediately. They didn't have to do this, so now they have consequences.
ElectricGreenApple
And let family back at home suffer the comsequences? How many years nave you spent in a dictatorship?
TrueNorthernLights
You're so lucky to live in a country where you and your family won't be killed for just saying no. Russia is not one of those countries. And
TrueNorthernLights
< people ARE surrendering.
DaveTBull
Wow, how dense are you that you think, while taking into considering the entire history of russia and the soviet union over the past 100..
DaveTBull
..100 plus years, that refusing to join will work?! You really honestly think there will be no consequence for familys of deserters? Jesus..
Humanfrenchfry
True it's a lose lose though because they'd probably be jailed or shot ??♂️
AmazinglyCoolNameHere
They could join Ukraine, or throw as some are doing
FloodingWaters
They chose to visit misery on others rather than suffer misery theirselves. Sucks to be them, but they still gotta deal with consequences
Zergele
It's a shit choice, but a choice nonetheless. As is committibg war crimes.
Athenalite
I'm not sure they could have not gone, given conscription in Rus, but they probably could have surrendered. Depends on their C.O.
Greenwaxy
Same way entire Russian brigades deserted in and went home to kill the czar.
Athenalite
I'm not saying they're innocent. At all. They can absolutely choose not to kill anyone. But they don't have an abundance of choices.
PigsWeGetWhatPigsDeserve
Does it physically hurt to be this stupid?
monkeyfunker
Apparently not ?
KingMCG
They are not dying for nothing. They drove tanks into Ukraine. THAT is why they are dying.
welltechnicallyimnotarobot
So how about "no good reason" does that jibe? Most of the people dying on the Russian side are basically kids
ShrokNil
Have you ever read a history book? Every conflict in human history is like this.
SuperIncoherentRantingMan
Same thing for the Nazis, especially at the end. But a weapon in hand makes them an enemy combatant. Surrender is always an option.
Badprenup
I don't think the kid conscripts are ones driving tanks though. Being a tanker takes training just to do it, even if you don't do it well.
KingMCG
As opposed to the women and children being killed by Russian soldiers?
Edenaxela
It's almost like we don't have to be happy about *any* of the deaths.
DarthWhatsHisFace
All losses are tragic, but it is the responsibility of each of us to refuse to serve in an imperialistic war; the people have the power.
welltechnicallyimnotarobot
You say that as if that's a really easy cut-and-dry position to be in. You would likely be just as susceptible to the propaganda as them
DarthWhatsHisFace
It is not at all easy to resist propaganda. Hell, I'm still unlearning all the nationalistic "USA! USA!" bullshit. But that's your 1)
Woodcup
Unfortunately even now many of the conscripts have been convinced that they are the good guys, going to save Ukrainians.
Woodcup
They've been told that they're going to destroy a nazi occupation and the citizens will be meet them with open arms

MonkeyWithAHammer
This clip could easily be of Meal Team 6 assholes that have been brainwashed by Putin via the Trump cult. They need to be held accountable/
MonkeyWithAHammer
For what they've done, but I still feel some twinge of empathy that they've allowed themselves to be led so far astray.
TrueNorthernLights
That SOME are saying. FIFY
iCurse
They're brainwashed people with underdeveloped brains from generations of poverty. They were promised greatness for joining a war
Puzzledpuma24
They're making Russia great (again?).
Huuuuubi
Fucking drug addicts and nazis... Wow.. they are brainwashed as hell... Makes me sad..
djzapz
Much like us in the West, they're not all the same. They have enlisted nazis, but they also have dumb kids who were drafted.
FoxyEllie
"You hear what americans are saying? Listen to this: 'I love the poorly educated'. Americans are eating that shit up. Fuck them."
Chimichanga007
We have more in common with the Russian people than with our own politicians.
Chimichanga007
So when i hear US Marines talking about "sand (n-words)" that means all Americans are evil and racist?
TwoFlower68
Appear to be saying. Russia isn't the only country who engages in propaganda shenanigans
Zaruzen
Those seem like brainwashed people tbh. One even said "fuck those nazis" Meaning they belive Pootin.
Puzzledpuma24
Oh no Pootin? Bother said Pootin and badly invaded a neighbours country.
AncientSeraph
20 years of constant curated content does that to people.
AmazinglyCoolNameHere
The problem of their nationalism, imperialism and dictators goes way further back than 20 years. Problem is that it's accepted by too many.
ArmaMalum
Going by the age of some of the soldiers you could phrase that as: a *lifetime* of constant curated content...
Zaruzen
It does
Kreviathan
When this all kicked off I saw a few comments about "Azov battalion" and neo Nazi links, but I noticed I couldn't find any credible sources.

covideokilledtheradiostar
One should feel bad for most soldiers lost in war. They are pawns, often kids, and are there for reasons other than their own.
Christx30
They could always refuse to fight. Preemptively kill their commanders. If they follow orders, they deserve death.
whatsisname
It's not that simple.
covideokilledtheradiostar
A well functioning army isn't thousands of individuals. It's a single chain of command. Said chain of command can wield great power. I do
Christx30
It is thousands of individuals that are told what to do. People of conscience refuse orders all the time. “I’ll help fellow soldiers, but >
covideokilledtheradiostar
not believe soldiers universally deserve death.
DefinitelyaHumanNotanAlien
It's sad that I knew the sympathy for the Russians would dry up eventually. Those are indeed horrible people in those audio clips however.
voidmain
Well, tbh, Russian don’t really have a good history of treating people well.. from after the WW2 they were horrible in Germany( to woman
voidmain
And kids) and then from all the other lands forced into the USSR.. every time treating people like shit.. so yeah.. I don’t feel sorry for
voidmain
Russians, because historically they are also part of the problem
dav3nasty
They probably get paid shit and don’t want to be there. It’s also why crime is so bad in impoverished areas. No other way they’d ever see1/
TripleDane
Yes, crime out of need is not the same as crime out of greed.
tisimo123
This reasoning was only valid for the first week of the war. The soldiers entering Ukraine ?? now know 100% what they are doing.
Gantzz321
many people in the world work jobs that pay shit, they don`t murder people and call home bragging about it
dav3nasty
U sure? Maybe their jobs aren’t as shit as you’d think? Or you just don’t have them secretly recorded to hear their unfiltered morals.
dav3nasty
Any of that stuff by honest means. Shits fucked.
MonkeyWithAHammer
But didn't they seem to enjoy the cruelty they were bringing to those actions? For me, that's beyond just poverty. Ukrainians are "other".
