Update from March 1�
If there is hell on earth it is in the suburbs of Kiev nowadays. I live in a forest 10 kms from the city and this forest is full of Russian paratroopers who are searching for food while the Ukrainian army is searching for them. Sporadic fire in all directions is the new normal. No one cares about it if it is far. A ballistic missile much worse than paratroopers, the ground shakes even if it exploded some 20 kms away. Cruise missiles, very powerful too, can be heard from 30-40 kms. They are not nuclear, but the weakest nuclear explosion is 20 times more powerful than the most powerful no nuclear.
Jets flying very low making a terrible sound. You never know whose aircraft is flying Russian or Ukrainian. We have no Russian tanks in my area, because every small community has bottles with molotov cocktails and everyone has submachine gun. Russian tanks and army vehicles can move only on highways, if they only turn left or right they will be burned by locals. Hundreds of tanks, buks and other vehicles were destroyed from drones or modern anti-tank rifles, like Javelins, NLAV's and others. This is army job, locals guys don't have Javelins.

I’d take the Ukraine over Chicago’s Southside after dark.....
Yep. Wolverines!!!
“Every small community has bottles with molotov cocktails”
I’m no armor expert but I highly doubt a molotove cocktail is going to affect a take very much. I could be wrong but damn, I sometimes have a hard time lighting a BBQ with charcoal soaked in lighter fluid.
“I’m no armor expert but I highly doubt a molotove cocktail is going to affect a tank very muchL
Correct, but in urban areas tanks need infantry support to survive, and that infantry prefers not to be on fire.
1 may not do much…but try 20 lobbed onto your tank or APC in another 2 seconds. It would make it nice and toasty inside.
I think that is mostly from missile strikes.
If only the Ruskies had run out of gas Like the propaganda was promising us.
Nukes? No, that doesn’t make sense.
To say nothing of depriving the tanks intakes, both for engine and crew, of oxygen.
Or those are videos of training on Russian highways.
I don’t trust anything on the internet about this war. It seems like a lot of propaganda from both sides. And/or people dubbing old videos and putting them onto tik/tok and youtube just to make money.
I’m guessing that if there really are Russian tanks bypassing those small communities, it is because they are small. Not that the folks are armed with bottles of gasoline.
Where do you people dig up this crap?
Thanks for posting this. Instructive.
Here in its’ environs, we call it Baltimordor.
Chicago has a higher body count.
“I don’t trust anything on the internet about this war.”
I had a first-hand account of the war, until today.
