You do know that the Russians and Ukranians actually have some of the same tanks and such, right? No proof that that is actually a Russian tank burning there - remember, propaganda gets used by both sides. Sure, it could be a burning Russian tank, but it could also be a burning Ukranian one - it’s not got the distinctive hull shape of the one tank type that Russia has that Ukraine doesn’t (the T-14 Armata), and there’s not enough left to tell which variant it is of the types they have in common.

The one in the foreground is a late model BTR possibly a BTR-70. The burning vehicle is a BMP infantry fighting vehicle. I suspect most of the so-called “light tanks” noted by ill informed journalists are BMPs. A vehicle with tracks and a turret is not always a tank. Even my frau knows that but she is not a journalist.
