"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.

Makes a person wonder, who exactly will be operating the Abrahms and the F-16’s?

Well, there are bio Abraham’s or F16s in Ukraine yet…so I am pretty sure they are all operated by NATO forces or Ukranian trainees until they are delivered.

But you knew that.

That isn’t what we see from the way you post on FR, or even on this thread.

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

Yeah, it's not like the troops would have radios or mobile phones to reach back to an interpreter.

Actually the story says that they were told this by the mechanic. They were unable to save the driver.

“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.
“The mechanic repeatedly stated that he was not a mercenary but a Bundeswehr serviceman, and that he and the rest of the crew were members of the same unit of the German army,” the Russian fighter said, adding that while receiving medical aid, the German soldier named his brigade and its dislocation site.
The tank’s driver died from wounds minutes after he was found despite efforts to save him.”

I obviously missed the “driver-mechanic” part. It would be helpful if articles used the same nomenclature until the end. Sorry.

Stuck in a time warp, Grandpa, that tired old red/blue paradigm is meant to keep you distracted with the illusion you have a choice.

Go watch some gotach Ted Cruz videos on Rumble, at least you’ll be up to date with the circus.

When do you start making some sense?

So far you keep posting mush, we can pick up the hostility and anger but your posts don’t make any sense.

The article is written by the Russian government’s propaganda arm out of Moscow, so there are also translation issues.

And again, gibberish.

You posted this silly thread that came straight from Moscow but you haven’t followed up with anything but personal attacks and gibberish on it, why not share some of your deeper thoughts and motivation for posting this bizarre claim of a thread?

I did, I said if the story had legs we will see pics of the dead soon. If it’s true, it’s up to the Russians whether they want it to be a significant escalation.

I don’t think the German people will be very happy about it, so I’d look for the Russian efforts to be focused there.

I’d expect to see those pics no later than Monday or Tuesday of next week if they are going to appear. Probably not today.

So they are currently withholding the pictures of dead soldiers in Ukrainian uniforms and pondering attacking the 30 nations of NATO?

Getting ducks in a row for effort to drive Germans away from providing Ukes support.

It’s Saturday, you might have to respond to a news happening with a short statement or something, but as long as it’s relatively on the down low and you want to make something of it, you wait till Monday or Tuesday.

Perhaps they had a medium on hand to continue the interrogation via seance after the guy died....
