'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

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.

There’s a time for talking and a time for shooting.

Multiple videos on social media of Russian military out of fuel, food and stuck on highways

Karma's a female dog. In earlier times, invaders got stranded in Russian mud. To be so inconvenienced in Ukraine today is downright embarrassing.

Yep. Most of them don’t want to be there either.

They give those old tanks out to satellite countries. Just like we sell our stuff that’s in inventory but not in use. Now the Russians use the T99 and T107.

You’re wrong. Just admit it.

“The Russian military is still using the 50-year-old T-72 as its main battle tank. In view of the ongoing tension with Ukraine, Russia has deployed several units of T-72 tanks near the border.”

Here are the numbers of active tanks in Russian inventory:

T-14 20
T-90 370
T-80 450
T-72 2030

And a quote for you:

“In July 2018, Deputy Prime Minister for Defence and Space Industry Yury Borisov said there is currently no need to mass-produce the Armata when its older predecessors, namely the latest variants of the T-72, remain “effective against American, German and French counterparts”, saying, “Why flood our military with Armatas, the T-72s are in great demand on the market(s).”[20][31] Instead, a modernization program of the T-72s, T-80s and T-90s in-service will take precedence.”

You are wasting your breath. These Pooty-lovers are as delusional as he is.

They still cling to the fantasy that it’s all a hoax or a staged war.

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

Best tactic ever!

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

I don't think Putin is that concerned unless it reaches 10,000 casualties. There's no evidence to report that it's that many.

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

With a logistical support for 100 -maybe.

The Russians have not secured supply routes to support the forces they have deployed in Ukraine. Lots of ATGMs and ManPads flowing into the country.

I’m a big fan of Life and Liberty. So I hope Russians and Ukrainians don’t suffer from megalomanic blunders for long. Good guys on both sides but bad guys up top.

Those old T72’s are worn the eff out. The T90 and excuse Me not the T107 buT105 are the generation in production and use now. Wouldn’t you send your best hardware into war? Those Chechens may be driving T72’s because that’s what Russia gives out to their satellites.

Bottom line you are watching a globalist press attempted cover up and distortion of what is happening in the Ukraine. Why you are sucking up the blue pill on CNN and other mainstream media outlets is beyond me.

Let me tell you what I think is happening and if most of it does not prove to be true in a month or so from now I’ll be glad to admit I’m wrong.

1. Putin is conducting a military operation to remove the NWO cabal from power in the Ukraine.
2. This is not an invasion to occupy the Ukraine.
3. This is a white hat alliance operation agreed upon by Trump and Putin.
4. Depending is likely part of the plan and looking forward to being rid of the cabal.
5. Look for a fairly fast resolution of actions with an agreement between Putin and Zelensky.
6. Look for the Russians to go home fairly soon after.

That is what’s going on in the Ukraine.

“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.”

Everything looks fishy. Did you see the video floating around yesterday of the supposedly Ukrainian old lady cussing out the Russian soldiers? The Russian soldiers were walking through the middle of a city apparently without a care in the world. But the Ukrainians are putting us stiff resistance! Nothing appears to be the truth.

When Trump said “this would never have happened when I was in office” he’s right it would have made him look weak so they decided to do it while Biden’s sitting there.

Russians arrested yesterday (Day 2) wearing false uniforms, trying to infiltrate Nikopol, not far from Mariupol. Again, wearing fake uniforms is illegal under the laws of war.
