“U.S. officials say Ukrainian leaders have told them that American and other allied weaponry is making a difference on the battlefield. Ukrainian soldiers armed with shoulder-fired Javelin anti-tank missiles have several times in the past week attacked a mileslong convoy of Russian armor and supply trucks, helping stall the Russian ground advance as it bears down on Kyiv, Pentagon officials said. Some of the vehicles are being abandoned, officials said, because Russian troops fear sitting in the convoy when fuel-supply tanks are being targeted by the Ukrainians, setting off fireballs.”

Glad to see the hardware is helping the Ukes hold back those filthy mongols. Every day that bogs those invaders down is a day closer to the hopeful end of Putin. The Russian generals will tolerate this only so far and so long.

i guess if you can blow up the fuel and ammo trucks, then you don’t need to worry too much about the tanks themselves ..
