TORTOISE TANKS Humiliated Russia using ‘mobile sheds’ to protect dwindling tank force in bid to stop Ukraine drones raining hell
Sun UK ^ | 4/9/2024 | Ellie Doughty

Watch footage of the bizarre tanks ploughing through the battlefield.

PUTIN'S failing forces have resorted to using bizarre mobile sheds on the battlefield in an attempt to withstand Ukrainian kamikaze drones.

Russian tanks have appeared underneath turtle shell-like cages after it was revealed that a humiliated Putin has lost almost all of the tanks he had when he began his brutal invasion of Ukraine.

Strange footage shows a row of ageing Russian tanks trawling through fields under the steel covers.

The odd-shaped metal blanket appears to be designed to shield Putin's dwindling fleet from Ukrainian onslaught.

Up close clips show that they cover almost the entire tank, leaving a gap at the front for the turret to fire at enemy troops.

By the article, Russia is dwindling and failing. They will soon be absorbed as a territory of Ukraine, then they will join NATO.

"Russia needs to acknowledge that fact. Ukraine is not going to lose this war."

40% of the entire population of the Ukraine has fled, the Ukrainian army is recruiting old men and boys, and Russia is advancing at the front while destroying the infrastructure all over the whole of the Ukraine. Things do not look good for the Ukraine and it needs to cut its losses. CIA controlled Zelensky will not surrender so the Ukrainians themselves are probably going to kill him soon.

It sucks to be a leftist neocon does it not?

What’s dwindling is a whole generation of Ukrainian military age males. Ukraine is a dead country no matter the outcome.

Here is someone who knows what is going on in Russia. I bet you think this is just propaganda.

If Russia is losing then this information is a good investment of your time.

This is a war of attrition. The first side to run out of either:

- personnel
- weapons
- supplies (food, water, medical etc)

Loses the war.
It is as simple as that.

This sounds both like the Ukes are doing better and the Russians are doing worse that posters here had led us to believe. With enough cash soon and lots more ammo and weapons coming, including the F16s, maybe the Ukes can turn the tide.
If only the ukes could put Western thermobaric fuel-air bombs on longer range missiles they could really wreak havoc behind Russias lines. I bet the West could help them with that.

No, it is one person’s opinion/experience. It is not universal.

I was told that there would be F-16s in August 2023.

Isn't that like, eight months ago?

Why should Russia use their best artillery, tanks, machinery, etc., to play a cat and mouse game with Ukraine, and the U.S. all this time? Any country would be stupid, to diminish their real war machinery for a spot of land the size of Texas. They can simply sit back and watch the U.S. overextend, and destroy itself, while depleting it’s own inventory and resources, which has ultimately been the case.

Nothing says “Winning” like Russian turtle tanks!

A modern marvel of cutting edge Soviet technology!
