The commie block countries all use steel tracks on their armored vehicles. Ours, since WWII have all been rubber treaded. Those steel tracks are slippery as the dickens on hard pavement. In this case the vehicle doing the hard left is not a tank but rather a weapons carrier-—you can see the missile tubes. Probly SAM’s.

An inexperienced driver might explain the skid but my guess is the driver was texting. We kill about one per week here abouts doing exactly the same thing——usually hitting a Peterbuilt.

The weapons carrier had to be UKE-—no Z or any other ruskie marks. And it’s a defensive unit. Not the sort of thing one would lead an attack with.

Man it's hard enough to drive a car adequately doing that. I can imagine how difficult it is to maintain a tracked rig on a given path. And God only knows how good the hydraulic steering setup is on those.

Yeah, now that you mention it, definitely some sort of weapons carrier/launcher.

Side note - a pretty good source on twoooooooter that I’ve been watching:
