'Need a tow back to Russia?' Ukrainians taunt soldiers after their tank runs out of fuel on its way to Kyiv
Daily Mail ^ | 2/26/2022 | Jacob Thorburn

Posted on 02/26/2022 9:39:43 AM PST by marcusmaximus

This is the moment a Ukrainian driver mockingly asks invaders if they need a 'tow back to Russia' after spotting their tank had broken down on a road en route to Kyiv.

The clip, shared widely across social media, appears to show an encounter between a group of Ukrainians and Russians who are said to be stranded at the side of a road outside of the Ukrainian capital.

The footage begins with the driver slowing down to a stop as he approaches the Russian tank, which has 'broken down' on the side of the road and waiting for diesel.

The Ukrainian motorist rolls down his window before jokingly offering to tow the troops back to Russia, prompting roars of laughter from all involved.

Your videos don’t show that much.

Single dead. A few dead. A truck. An APC.

No way to confirm some of them.

Like I said, all these reports of massive Russian loses...but no pics or videos.

And I am not trolling. I looking for data and evidence.

Seems odd. I’m pretty sure most Ukrainians have smart phones.
This whole situation smells funny to me. I just don’t get the official stories.

The Russians make for a good boogie man for the American left, but they have always been overrated.

“i’m suprised that the russian army is pretty bad. almost like they were using unprofessional soldiers.”

The problem here is that for 20 years most of the fuel budget for this unit has being going into someone’s vacation place in Cyprus.

Russia is finding that a lot of depots that on paper were filled with fuel and ammo are actually empty.

Looking for data, pics and videos either way.

Dealing with the western or Russian state media, sometimes you got to pay attention to what is NOT there.

They need to be taunted with a 5.56. In the words of Tuco, “If you want to shoot somebody, shoot, don’t talk”!

Stop the BS. You have your mind made up. Just the fact of Russian military running out of diesel is contrary to your BS you're spouting: "Let me point out a few things. Russia has a very capable, modern, large, non woked military"

Offer a bottle of gas with a cloth wick at the top and just kind a make sure it falls inside the turret.

Must have taken lessons from New Orleans: nobody will notice, we never get Cat 5 hurricanes here...

One of the first rules of a battle plan, always include and consult with your logistics command.

Seems fishy to me. These soldiers are invading a country, but just stand by while a vehicle drives up to them, and then chat with the driver? I would assume in this situation they would consider that vehicle a threat, and respond as such, until they determined it was not.

Anti-Javelin missile modifications not working too well for Putin's tanks.

LOL, all that time wasted welding cages.

Yes, me too. I knew they were weaker than the old Soviet Union, but this actually surprises me.
This has to have China rethinking their alliance. I would look at this, and realize Russia won’t big a very big help in any conflict.
