Military strategists hate this one weird trick

“Military strategists hate this one weird trick”

That’s pretty funny.

But Ukraine has captured at least 117 Russian tanks, according to open-source-intelligence analysts who scrutinize photos and videos on social media.

That's some solid reporting there.

Best post today.

really weird how reports say Russia has lost 500 tanks destroyed or captured but Ukraine hasn’t lost any but actually gained inventory? Are we to believe that Russia surged across Ukraine up to the suburbs of Kyiv but didn’t manage to destroy any tanks on the way? Does Russia not have any anti-tank missiles either?

That’s why Russian only used T-72s

[Yashcheritsiy]

IIRC, isn’t Ukraine besieging Moscow right now?

[CarolinaReaganFan]

each tank came with a dead russian general in the driver seat?

[DuncanWaring]

Try not to gasp!

Although an overpriced 2 mil a pop, the T72 is still considered an excellent tank.

You posted that article just for the joke, didn’t you? Well, it was a good one.

What I mean is, they’re basically all past their operational lives.

Soon to be turned into scrap metal—if the Ukrainians know how to recycle composite armor plate!

[Georgia Girl 2]

I thought all the Russian tanks were blown up and burned. 🤔

[VF-51vnv]

There have been vids of the Ukraine personal removing these reactive armors and loading them into their trucks. I looks like they want to recycle them into an offensive weapon of some sort.

Try reading the report first, next time.
