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 SCRAPYARD’S...................
If you can’t find a real news site then please just stop posting. this trash is the most bogus propaganda i’ve seen thus far. and yes both sides are posting BS propaganda.
In RVN in '68 I ran resupply convoys for a few months between Pleiku and Dak To. 55 miles. We were ambushed two or three times a week. Without going into a long war story, this convoy narrative from Ukraine simply does not sound plausible to me.
Waste of time to go after AFV’s - hit their POL, which is an apparent incompetence.
Intense heat burns rust off of the metal. Just sayin.
(Metalwork is one of my specialties.)
You can tell by the ground that at least some of those items burned where they were sitting. Were they towed there and burned, or driven there one way or another and burned?
I’d say they reamed them a new A-hole.
There is plenty of grey-blue metal, indicating recent heat. And some of the machines appear to have been painted in a desert brown/rust color to begin with.
i see what you did there
Most of the vehicles I’m seeing in this batch are APC types, and maybe an amtrac or two. True enough not seeing any heavy gun barrels but taking out half a platoon of troopers at a time would not be a waste of a weapon-—especially if I thot those guys were heading my way?
#6 lucky the guy in the turret got out ok.....
Putin has been pursuing the most strategically inept war plan since Biden surrendered Afghanistan to the Taliban.
When your Western adveraries are Winken, Blinken & Nod “eptness” is not required!
Still no reporting on attack of Russian ship.
Wonder if there were any Russkies in them when they were hit.
“And the phony war rages on’’.
Just like 1940 all over again.
“Now imagine me sitting on a mine
sitting on a mine on The Maginot Line..’’
Thanks dude. I remembered this video clip from that BBC series a long time ago, “The World At War’’.
George Formby was his name? Cool.
Yep, that’s what I remembered it from too.
