The losses include at least five of the battalions’ specialized engineering vehicles. Fitted with mineplows and minerollers, these vehicles lead tanks and infantry fighting vehicles through minefields, plowing and rolling a path so the tanks and IFVs can break through enemy defenses.

There is video of the Russian destruction of wooden decoy Leopard tanks destroyed by Russians

The decoy fooled the Russian drone operators and the press

Is it neocons the Ukrainians are destroying, or Russians?

Many Russian pigs are going to slaughter, and the others are crying “wee wee wee all the way home”.

This is the title of the article:

“The Ukrainian Army Has Already Lost Half Of Its Unique Leopard 2R Breaching Vehicles”

Therefore it is the Neocons getting spanked...and it’s just beginning.

Economic shambles?
As in 33 trillion in debt?
Yes. We need to stick our nose in it!

The Ukrainians are suffering heavy losses and they haven't even reached the first Russian fortified line. They are having a tough time just breaking through the zones in the front lines. The first fortifications are 10 miles behind the front line. I know the media gets all excited if Ukraine takes a town or a few fields but they aren't of strategic value. The price they pay in men and machines is hardly a victory. Zelensky is trying to show any little victory before the big meeting of Nato members. Then he will beg for more of our money and weapons like the whore he is.

The more I watch the Ukes take on the Ruskies it reminds me of this political cartoon of Trump Wall. Just replace Trump with Putin.

I am reminded of Bill Mauldin’s WWII “Willie and Joe” comic, where the two infantrymen turn down a ride in a tank, while saying, “A moving foxhole attracts the eye”.

Yes, and that's the thing that pisses me off...
