How Ukraine Uses Obsolete Soviet Grenades To Destroy Russian Tanks From Above
Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty ^ | May 05, 2022 | By RFE/RL

Posted on 05/06/2022 6:51:38 AM PDT by GonzoII

Ukrainian fighters have found a new use for outdated grenades that is proving spectacularly effective at destroying Russian tanks and other armored vehicles.

This photo released by Aerorozvidka, an organization that develops Ukraine's use of small drones in warfare, shows a Ukrainian-made octocopter drone with two bomblets mounted beneath it.

Videos recently released by Aerorozvidka show what appears to be the same, tail-finned explosives being dropped by drone before destroying armored vehicles with catastrophic explosions. Weapons trackers following the conflict in Ukraine have identified the bomblets as modified Soviet-era RKG-3 anti-tank grenades with 3D-printed tail fins attached to stabilize their fall from drones…..

Russian propaganda much today?

You're going to look like a total fool when this war is over because the one believing the Biden regime the liars in Ukrainian.

Ukraine is going to be rump state when this all said and done, likely a landlocked one.

Trump said we should do more than what Biden’s been doing in Ukraine.

I trust the government to act in its own best interest, which would not include sneaking nuclear weapons into Ukraine. There is no plausible scenario under which that gains them anything.

Best case is quick Russian defeat with a way to save face so the tactical nukes don’t fly i.e. they get the Donbas and Black Sea areas they want.

What you are describing is a Russian victory, and Ukrainian defeat. I think that is a terrible result. Not just for Ukraine. But for the rest of the world because it will encourage future wars of aggression by Russia and others.

If you are not on the Russian payroll your ignorance and even hatred for Ukrainians has blinded you to reality.

Here are some Ukrainians celebrating the recapture of their village from the Russians.

According to who?

People who have collected images of destroyed Russian tanks. You can read the list here. If you think they have made an error please submit your correction.

The list is not maintained by the Ukrainian government, and about the only thing they had to do with it is destroy, damage or capture the tanks shown. While you are at it you can look at the hundreds of destroyed Russian trucks, armored personnel carries, infantry fighting vehicles, and aircraft.

What about that do YOU not understand, MacTROLL? Yes, I am still treating you as a troll due to your memorable trolling activity. And since the moderators have shown an unusual proclivity towards not allowing others to post after it has been requested that you stop posting to me, I will re-iterate that request. Do not post to me.

“I’ll bet you probably realize that they lied to you for all those years but you think, “They are probably telling truth about this. They wouldn’t lie about war.””

No, I just don’t care what the media says. I don’t form my opinion based on them.

The government we “overthrew” was a Russian puppet government that their intelligence agency installed by overthrowing the democratically elected government, in violation of internationally recognized treaties that Ukraine, US and Russia were all parties to. Turnabout is fair play. If anyone “upset the balance of power” it was the Russian FSB, who started the whole tit for tat in Ukraine in the first place.

My sentiments too. The victims are the Ukrainian ppl, especially those living in the Donbass who were suffering long before this war started. I swear some of these posters are working for the State Department with their rah-rah comments. This war needs to be stopped at the negotiating table before there’s no one left to fight.

Nobody reading your comments could mistake your hatred of Russia from your choice of words. “Enslaving a whole nation...” “those dipwads...” “The Ukes HONORED that agreement, the Rukes VIOLATED it twice...” 🤣

Speaking of agreements, you forgot one. The Minsk agreements signed by Ukraine and Russia in 2014/15 that promised to continue the Russian traditions and culture in the Donbass. Ukraine violated it as soon as the ink was dry by outlawing teaching Russian in schools which they’d done for decades. Most of eastern Ukraine spoke Russian as their first language, but Kiev decided only Ukrainian should be taught and spoken. They knew what they were doing to “those ppl.” Then they sent the Azov regiment in to put them in their place. And now here we are.

There's this new development where the moderators will start deleting your comments once you're identified as a troll and have been asked to stop posting to another FReeper. Do not post to me, troll.

It was orchestrated by the globalists in NATO, the EU, and the State Department. Do you honestly believe it was a grassroots uprising? 🤣

It’s too late for most of these Ukraine supporters. They’ve already been outed. 🤣

Definition of troll: “Internet slang for a person who intentionally tries to instigate conflict, hostility, or arguments in an online social community.”

For the thin-skinned know-it-alls on this thread (I’m looking at you, Kevin!), if a freeper tries to debate your comments or counters your misinformation, that doesn’t mean they’re a troll, FFS! 🤣

2nd time asking you not to post to me.

JimRob recently deleted one of my posts which supposedly did exactly what you’re doing right now.

As long as this is considered a valid thing to ask for, I’m gonna start asking.
