'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.

What’s going on in Russia is that the T 72 is still their main battle tank, which you refuse to admit.

LOL How humiliating for Putin and Russia. This is not an isolated incident. I’ve seen similar things. Ukraine has totally won the info war and soon they will win the shooting one. Putin has lost.

Not that it will do any good...

But you are wrong. Russia’s T-90 is only a prototype. They are not known to be in service. No one has even seen one as of yet other than a parade.

HEAR THIS LOUD AND CLEAR PEOPLE:

THE VAST MAJORITY OF RUSSIA’S TANKS ARE AND REMAIN OLDER MODELS.

Pooty’s war is (hopefully) failing but not for the reasons you are giving.

These are the professionals with the good stuff. LOL!



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.

(And yes, I know the video wasn’t a Russian tank)

Give it up. It’s not a hoax. And Pooty is a c**t.

Yeh pretty much since the last two or three YouTube videos I’ve watched showed what appear to look suspiciously like T90’s.

Has it occurred to you that when the lying MSM shows you archived footage its going to show well, archived hardware?

Yeh, uh no they are not a prototype. They are the current generation of Russian tanks.

Logistics absolutely matter. “Teeth and Tail”. Fuel, food, and other supplies.

We use “Teeth and Tail”. In Iraq, if I remember, for each trigger puller, there was three support people.

When you can no longer argue the facts, you attack the source. Jesus it’s always the same!

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.

my first thought also.

BS story.

I doubt the Russian POWs need a lot of convincing to call their parents. At least their parents will know they are safe.

I’m sure they are. Good thing is that the Russian small arms and ammo is the same as theirs.

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.

So when you say "Putin is conducting a military operation to remove the NWO cabal from power in the Ukraine" are you saying Trump would have opposed Putin to retain the NWO?.

You are working on the supposition that Trump lost the 2020 election and left office. That’s why you and I cannot have a rational conversation about this. We don’t need to. 😆
