Open letter to the Ukrainian mother Russian tank officer to 1779- Pass the letter to Mum and uplifting.

Such was the fate of that tank battle January 22, 2015, in my country, our crew was lucky in the second before the crew of your son (he is pictured).

We knocked out their tank, mechanical concussions, and your son (tank commander) and gunner were not injured. When they got out of the damaged vehicle we had to just press the button in his tank, and the three of them would remain only vospomininiya in this sinful world.

We did not kill them, we let them go. Your son forgot his phone in the tank with your number and I decided to write you this letter.

In our country, a lot of problems, maybe you know about them or guess. Corruption, lawlessness, crime, poverty, unemployment has struck Ukraine, like a cancer.

People are tired of suffering. We began to fight for a better life for ourselves and our children. We kicked the VGA-President Yanukovych and want to build a state based on the rule of law, just want a better place to live. We are not fascists, we still speak the language of our people and our citizens do not care what language other people speak, we do not eat babies and bullfinches, nor rape nursing or disabled pensioners. We are very ordinary people that love their land, their children and their lives. We are peaceful people. We never attacked anyone.

I beg you. Better late than never. Tell your son that to make a life by depriving life of other people is not good. Suppose he goes home and finds there another job. Maybe he will take with him one or two more colleagues and we will have life that becomes easier. Let him live his life in peace and assumes no sin on his soul.

Peaceful to you the sky over your head.

Sincerely, Alex Shepherd

I assume that is the tank commander; I hope he is not punished for leaving the phone in his vehicle.

Alexey Chaban shared this comment: "Frankly, all return from a tank battle is nice. Order personally captured a tank under its own even nicer. And then to go to this tank and pick up another trophy brand new BMP quite well. And all this despite the scenario 2 of us against them 15. And all this without any loss. Adrenaline. And what a bad coincidence for plešivogo mobile phone in the tank, PRODUCED IN RUSSIA, a mobile phone in a tank with with corresponding photos and videos of tank itself from Russian SIM,(struck by the serial number) CLEARLY, Russian vacationers get lost in the vast expanses of the Tunguska. We have crews that are just super! The guys have no equals, I was very lucky with these guys to be here. Photo: 1 trophy tank 2 left the Russian tank commander, a citizen of the Russian Federation, the owner of the abandoned mobile phone. p.s. we could have shot those Russians, but we let them go."

Sitting on all that reactive armor gives me the willys!

I hope not. But, earlier when Russian mercenaries were shot by border guards trying to return to Russia after they found out the truth about Ukraine

I really like the follow-up comments by one of the Ukrainian tank guys :D

Recall the movie, Sgt. Ryan, when they captured a German soldier, who they let go, and returned to the battle to kill.

I understand.I watched a movie with my father, WWII veteran, that showed a young German military academy being sent & killed in battle. I asked him what he thought about killing these young boys. He said, “Their bullets will kill you just as dead.”
