'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.

Most of them on either side probably have no interest in killing each other either. Get Crazy Vlad instead!

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


Get a ticket to the Ukraine and see data up close. Ukraine is a big country - do you imagine their are piles of bodies everywhere? 3500 Russian bodies are scattered everywhere. Or have you never seen a war before?

Wars are won or lost with logistics. I read somewhere years ago about WWII. For every soldier on the front line there were 10 more in the rear supporting him. May or may not be true but it does illustrate without a working pipeline of supplies moving to the the front things get bogged down quickly.

None of this makes any sense at all.

The videos are a joke.

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

————-

Most of these videos and pictures being posted all over internet are rather underwhelming.

‘’ Update (12:35 ET): There are breaking reports that in the mid-evening hours Kiev time, Russia’s military has received orders to “advance in all sectors,” according to a fresh statement by Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov.

GERMANY WORKING ON WAY TO EXCLUDE RUSSIA FROM SWIFT
ADVISER TO UKRAINE’S INTERIOR MINISTER SAYS RUSSIAN TROOPS ARE APPROACHING ZAPORIZHZHIYA NUCLEAR POWER PLANT
UKRAINE’S ZELENSKIY SAYS AZERBAIJAN AND TURKEY PRESIDENTS PROPSED TO ORGANISE TALKS WITH RUSSIA

Western correspondents on the ground have also observed the additional mustering of tank and armored units now continuing to pour across the border into Ukraine. So far a major aerial and ground assault on Kiev appears to have been paused as there was some level of back-and-forth and confusion over possible ceasefire or “surrender” negotiations.

I liked the one where the AAA runs over a car and a 5 ton shows up driving like a madman.

A lone soldier jumps out and fires his rifle at objects unknown.

All of this taking place as a tenant films from his apartment making stir-fry.

please.

I guess when you have a former comedian for president you can use clever tactics.

Well this brings up the question of how much of their cell phone network is still intact or not. I mean you might take a video and then if the cell towers are out how do you send it out. I’m not savvy enough about tech in the Ukraine to know.

I understand the sub-ether works the same there as it does in the Maldives.

You never fought Soviets - I have.

They are poorly trained and even more ill disciplined. Outside of Mother Russia they have zero idea where on the earth they are, or why they are there. Their OPORDs talk about their enemies being Nazi monsters, but when they arrive out of country they see their briefings were shit, and they lose all confidence in everything they have been told. Their logistics trains are even worse, and the armor/infantry outruns them almost instantly. Terrible resupply of fuel, food, and most importantly ammo.

The level of alcohol use is unbelievable in active fighters.

Far different than the aggression-tailored amphetamines that we were issued, with far different results. (Plenty of documented firefights between our own units.) We hunt at night, and ensure our targets have no lights - the lights in Kiev are still on.

Extremely poor strategic and tactical planning by the Russians. Rather than showcasing their prowess, they have displayed their complete incompetence.

No well trained army should fear the wannabe Soviets. Same paper tiger. And the PLA will be even weaker.

There are 10,000 T-72 tanks still in Russian inventory. They were used in the invasion of Georgia a few years ago.

BWAAHAHAHAHA

My opinion only: Pooty’s soldiers don’t wanna be there and aren’t fighting as hard as they could.

The “Tinder” stuff the other day seems to show that most went to Ukraine to try to get laid.

First war in history to be ended by sex. LOL

The Ukrainians aren’t torturing the captured Russian soldiers. They’re making them call their parents back in Russia!

Why aren’t Ukrainians grabbing arms and ammo where possible?
