Charred remains of Putin's tanks lie smouldering in the street in extraordinary images after convoy was blown to pieces by Ukrainian resistance near Kyiv as Russian troop death toll 'climbs to 5,840'

Pictures have emerged from the streets of Ukraine showing the smouldering wrecks of Russian tanks destroyed amid brutal urban fighting as Putin's invasion of his neighbour continues.

Huge convoys of Russian armour have rumbled into several Ukrainian cities, only to be met with fierce resistance as well-armed troops used a mixture of their own and NATO-supplied anti-tank weapons to wreak havoc on the invaders.

Some of the most shocking images of the devastation inflicted on Russian armour came from the town of Bucha on the outskirts of Kyiv, where an entire column of tanks and armoured vehicles were obliterated.

Taken yesterday, the pictures show how the burnt-out husks and charred debris from the vehicles had completely blocked one of Bucha's main roads, a mere 20 miles from the centre of the capital.

The caption for that photo is: “A local resident walks past a destroyed military vehicle, as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine continues, in the town of Bucha in the Kyiv region, Ukraine March 1, 2022”

There is of course zero evidence for your contention “Looks like this was taken last Christmas.” Completely made up.

WTH is wrong with you?!?!

Don’t you know it’s customary for Ukranian women to keep the spirit of Christman alive the year round?

Looks like a job for those HEAVY Rescue & Recovery vehicles I see on “Highway Thru Hell’ each weekday.

Going to take 2 tanks to drag off those burned out ones.

Oh, and the link wasn’t removed either, as you can see. You made that up as well.

You criticize Q in your tagline, but your MO and mindset is exactly the same.

Don’t see any front-line armor there. I’d hate to believe that all those Javelins and NLAWs from Britain are being wasted on targets that are worth less than the weapons used to destroy them.

Let’s see-—the map shows this road-—we WILL go here...

NO ONE thought about the trap of tree lined streets.

Those poor russian boys don’t know what hit ‘em. They’ve been fed Putler’s propaganda that they would be welcomed so much they believe it.

"In the first pic you posted the adjacent trees are unscathed after the tanks were bombed, setting them on fire."

Another online know-it-all: those photos are legit - but you aren't.

And also note that the Putler propagandists on this site who assured us our Javelin missiles would fail against “mighty” Russia’s tanks have been proven wrong.

LOL😂

Russian warship was hit by an anti-ship missile by the Ukrainians in the Black Sea today near Odessa. Wait until that news hits the press and the Putinistas. Especially if it sinks.

But, but I’m assuming he is a self acclaimed “expert”. A legend in his own mind.

My mindset? Coming from someone who calls herself a Republican Wildcat? The only thing wild about Republicans is the way they spend our tax dollars, and cheer on war. You have actively participated in the biggest CON in our nation's history as you take seriously the Tweedle Dee, Tweedle Dum political scam. Please, take your Republican pom poms and wave them elsewhere. We're in serious days and tired old politics won't help.

I’m retired Detroit Fire/EMS.

A car fire in an ally causes fires and melting of surrounding structures.

Fences burn or melt depending on what the material is.

Nearby garages will burn or start to burn. Siding melts.

Overhead power lines melt and burn and fall apart.

Very little damage in these pics from numerous tanks burning and getting blown up vs what I’ve seen one car in a Detroit ally do.

The Red Army didn’t lose 4.9 MILLION soliders in Operation Bartbarossa by being cautious. The Germans only lost 1.1 million and LOST. Putin doesn’t care and the Russian people are not built like the rest of us. Dig in. This is going to last YEARS.

Sincerely doubt that if your capital city was being encircled and the supply column for the besieging troops was sitting in the open, a daring commander would try to shell it with long range artillery, send in mortar teams ( as the NVA and VC did in Vietnam) and take advantage of the Ukrainians knowledge of the terrain with sapper teams. Sorry but something about that open column not being attacked or harassed simply does not make sense.

Thank you David Chase for adding your unique experience and perspective to an article that describes the vehicles as, charred and smouldering after the convoy was blown to pieces. That scene description doesn't match the photos.

I see 2, maybe 3 dead tanks. Many pics, from multiple angles.

Someone is a mouthpiece for the CIA.
