TORTOISE TANKS Humiliated Russia using ‘mobile sheds’ to protect dwindling tank force in bid to stop Ukraine drones raining hell

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.

Sadly they got rid of page 3 because some Lizzo types complained.
Unless they reversed it after the fact.

It’s a British tabloid. Entertaining, but farcical. A favorite with the “lager lout” set.

"If Ukraine is winning why do they need our money? If Russia is losing, then how are they such an existential threat? Pick one, it can’t be both."

Great point. Zeeper flopsweat will pour like a raging river if and when they try squaring that circle. Well done!

[Darksheare]

Sadly such introspection is impossible, they call ot a strawman.

[woodpusher]

Such a delay makes one wonder if the entity promising to send really really wants the Ukes to use them and win?

They more fear the creation of an aerial complement to Bradley Square and Abrams Corner. Maybe F16 Graveyard at the junction of S300 and S400 celebrating the 52nd year of F16.

“Russians made a video of the tank with the turtle roof in the building where they did the modifications.”

That was the Ukrainian video, Einstein.

[woodpusher]

What happened to Russia today to get all of the pro-Russian propaganda posters working overtime?

Zeeper appreciation day.

40% of the entire population of the Ukraine has fled

And 100% of Russian soldiers don't want to fight in the war. It's a "not my job, man" situation.

Statistics: all can be made up on the spot.

the Ukrainian army is recruiting old men and boys

And, they're giving hell to the Russians and keeping them at bay. Way to go boys and old timers!

and Russia is advancing at the front while destroying the infrastructure all over the whole of the Ukraine.

By now, all that's left of Ukraine is rubble and dust and and ashes, and nobody alive. So, if destroying everything is how you measure success, then, the Russians are actually the losers. By now, with all the success YOUR side is having, Ukraine has been taken over, and Putin is the one actually running things in Ukraine.

Things do not look good for the Ukraine and it needs to cut its losses.

Yet, it's the Russians who have lost a lot more soldiers and tanks and helicopters and planes and equipment and prestige. Good job, Putin!

CIA controlled Zelensky will not surrender

The Ukrainians have a lot more dignity and valor and fight in them, than the Russians and people like you.

so the Ukrainians themselves are probably going to kill him soon.

Well, there are traitors in every country. So, why don't you go there and do it yourself.

BTW, the Russians are in a stalemate, and they really haven't progressed much from their initial gains, and in reality, they have to keep fighting the Ukrainians who retake territory while the Russians have to retake what is not theirs. If you know how to help the Russians in NOT LOSING the war, go there and put your life on the line for them. I'll help pay for your trip to Russia. And when Putin finally does win (likely never), take a picture with him and post it on the internet. You'll be the biggest celebrity in history.

And, your line about "neocons" is old and tired and irrelevant. Try a new line that doesn't sound so stupid.

The worse that the Ukraine does at the front the longer the Zeeper comments get. Sucks to be you.

Point (s)

[adorno]

The only true part of your pic-post is that Russia is actually losing. Ukraine winning is not yet determined, and in reality, they are winning, while Russia is losing mend and equipment and prestige. If you are NOT WINNING a war which was supposed to be easy, then, you are losing. Ukraine is turning out to be another Afghanistan for Russia. But, perhaps you can go and help Putin in putting an end to Zelensky. Putin needs you.

[adorno]

Oh, look! A map!

Nicely colored by the Russians,.

We all believe the Russians now.

[Darksheare]

Lol
If that’s what you want to believe, feel free.

--- "Thanks for showing us all you are a dunce. Anyone with even a shred of knowledge would know that the domain nitter.x.y is a server that provides access to the X/Twitter system. There are many of them around the world. What you are seeing is just content from X/Twitter."

Nice try. So totally wrong.... If there was this video on X/Twitter, then your link would have shown that. It did not. Your URL was through the host site, poast.org.

--- "What you are seeing is just content from X/Twitter."

So link to the X/Twitter URL. Simple. But you didn't linkt to X/Twitter. You linked to a mirror hosting a Telegram video. An old Telegram video.

You failed to observe and failed to refer to the embedded URL -- t.me/ukr_sof/1013.

Nice, with nifty pop music background and all. And from 8 April of last year, not that you would have noticed that either. Nor that it was produced by "Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine." [ Apr 8 at 00:30 ]

" --- "There are lots of videos of what happens..." on both sides, because was is indeed hell. And there is propaganda on many sides, because that is the nature of propaganda. And then there is your attempt to provide "An example" from eleven months ago, as if war is only hell for Russians. War is hell for Ukrainians, Russians and even US, says a Vietnam era Army NCO who was a draftee.

Use "translate" since Google is so easy....

YOUR example is on Telegram, even now.

Next time, we can talk hackers and the dark web, and use citations and real links before trotting out words like "dunce."

Now you can PROVE the video you referenced is on X/Twitter. After all, that was your claim. Tick, tock.

PS --- "Nitter is dead".

[adorno]

Prove me wrong.

[Darksheare]

You’re free to believe what you want.
But the live map showed avdiivka had been lost hours before the media grudgingly admitted that it happened.

But the live map showed avdiivka had been lost hours before the media grudgingly admitted that it happened.

Have you heard? Russia takes one step forward and two steps back. IOW, what Russia gains today, they lose tomorrow. Have you noticed? Russia is in a stalemate, and they have no idea how to win. And they can't win, since their losses amount to an amount from which they can't recover and go on to win. They can't win. And Putin and Russia and you won't win. How many more years is your side willing to continue this way? It's Russia's new Afghanistan.

[Darksheare]

So avdiivka is liberated, right?

[kiryandil]

There is no Nitter instance of nitter.x.y - let alone a live instance.
