"When we curbed another offensive and ATGM-ed [destroyed with an anti-tank guided missile] the Leopard, we moved out to the burned vahicle hoping to seize the 'tongue.' Then we saw that the crew's driver-mechanic was severely injured and the others were dead. Once he awoke, the mechanic started yelling 'nicht schießen' ["do not shoot" in German]," the head of the reconnaissance team said.

Sputnik is headquartered in Moscow, which might be contributing to some of the skepticism I am sensing on this thread.

German tanks with German crews operating on the border of Russia.

What’s old is new again.

*******

What’s it like still living in the 1980’s? Familiar is comfortable, right? Nice sharp lines, black/white, blue/red.

Fortunately, there were no language problems between the dying German and the Russian soldier.

The German soldier spoke with an especially thick Swabian accent (vo' derr Alp 'raa), but the Russian soldier was fortunately a scholar, in his spare time, of Oberdeutsch in general and Alemannic dialects in particular, and so had no difficulty in deciphering his dying gasps and mutterings.

Funny how that sometimes works out.

“Sputnik; formerly Voice of Russia and RIA Novosti, is a Russian state-owned news agency and radio broadcast service. It was established by the Russian government-owned news agency Rossiya Segodnya on 10 November 2014. With headquarters in Moscow”

You seem stuck in the past and unable to think about the future.

So we are told that a Russian soldier says that the tank driver filled him in on all that just before he died?

Yes by a Russian propaganda site with a history of publishing bullshit. I mean I guess it could be true... lol

How remarkable that the first Russian on the scene was a gifted linguist who could interrogate the dying German in his native language.

Not True—Or the Russians would have paraded him before the cameras. Where is his ID Tags? Name? Photograph? This would be really big news in Russia if True and all over their media.

Wait for it. I would never post anything that’s not very fresh and at least a little salty.

Those were his dying words to the bilingual Russian.

The German died on the spot from his wounds.

Not even the Russians would buy this poor attempt. But, lets wait and see. The Other shoe will drop. IF, true, the Other shoe will drop soon.

The Ukraine war has demonstrated that, with spy satellites and accurate drones and cruise missiles tanks are pretty much obsolete.
