Another stunning victory for the Ukranian military!

You do know it is stupid Women’s Month in the whole world. That was why that assho Biden was telling troops uke women would be standing in front of tanks today. Such a fraud and faker.
Everything these frauds do is planned and about their ideology down to the black acrtivist judge getting appointed in womens month.
It is all so glorious.
In some cases of total destruction there are other clues like remaining markings or parts. Notably say, the design of tank roadwheels, which are never destroyed, and on their own distinguish the bulk of Uke vs Russian tanks. Or equipment such as fording devices, ERA armor, vision ports, remote weapon mounts, smoke dischargers, etc and etc. Or context as in being close to other identifiable wreckage.
It is very often possible to ID specific units these vehicles belonged to.
👌
And Zelensky no doubt is the fave woman (he acts like one or tries to) of many Freepers on here who disparage others as being pro-Putin when all we’re doing is trying to keep the U.S. out of yet another quagmire:

You are good at making excuses, but you forgot a few like maybe aliens did it, or artists in Ukraine make fake tank wreckage sculptures.
Why don't you take a look at the list maintained by ORYX Here.The first part of the list is for Russian equipment, the second is for Ukrainian equipment.
For every destroyed vehicle there is a linked picture. Why don't you look through them and find any duplicates. Also, you can apply your skills to correct any mis-identifications of who owned the vehicle, Russia or Ukraine.
The people who maintain the list welcome corrections, and occasionally somebody finds an error. It seems that the people who do that know a lot about Russian or Ukrainian vehicles, enough to recognize a vehicle by some detail of its parts.
Let us know what you find looking at actual data.
According to the communist branch or Free Republic, the Russians won in the first day, and are just pretending to lose as a practical joke.
You are dead on! This is all about political self interest. Within the last 16 months nearly 500,000 people have been killed in the Ethiopian Civil War and we don’t here a word about.
Why should I look at even more of them?
Again, Ukraine isn’t a member of NATO, it isn’t our job to protect their borders, you should be concerned with protecting America’s borders, we aren’t world policeman, and enough with being involved in one war after another, plus we are over $30 trillion in debt and broke.
So get your butt over there and fight if you’re so gung ho about all of this and take some neocon Freepers with you.
This first month of war is like NFL preseason.
Putie doesn’t play his starters until April.

You might have a point if Russia was still communist but it isn’t, and while Putin does unfortunately want to expand he has said publicly communism doesn’t work.
Secondly, Ukraine is 30% larger than Iraq, it took the US 6 weeks to take all of Iraq, and the US went too fast and had unending insurrections to deal with.
In the end, Ukraine isn’t a member of NATO, their borders aren’t our problem, we are being invaded on our southern border, we aren’t world cop, we are broke and 30 plus trillion on debt, yet dummies still agitate to get us involved when a unified Europe is more than capable of taking care of this.
They don't mention it because they are smart enough to realize that story is just a Putin talking point. In 2014 separatists backed by Russia launched a military campaign against the Ukrainian government. In 2015 Russia sent troops and they invaded parts of Ukraine that had not been seized by the separatists.
The parties agreed on a cease fire and have faced each other across the line of contact since then. Both sides periodically fire at troops on the other side.
The OSCE, a monitoring group set up to monitor the cease fire maintained daily surveillance of cease fire violations. In just about every instance shells are either fired from the separatist areas into Ukrainian held areas, or shells are fired both ways in exchanges between the two armies.
You can read about the OSCE mission here.
Here is the report for January 11th. Notice the shell went from east to west - in other words from the Russian held area to the Ukrainian held area.
Where is "here"?
Why should you look? Because that way lies truth.
Understanding requires work. Professionally I worked 80 hour weeks for four decades. I covered for masses of the glib and the lazy, and learned to hate them with a passion.
The US occupied Iraq and destroyed the official Iraqi military with very few casualties.
You just admitted that you think spreading Russian propaganda is a good thing to do since you want to keep the USA out of "another quagmire".
You don't have to take Putin's side, and work for him, in order to oppose any decision by the US government to get involved in a land war in Europe. I hope you realize that people here who were opposed to our invasion of Iraq did not think it was appropriate to repeat Saddam's propaganda, or the messages of radical Islam in order to somehow keep the USA out of Iraq.
You are just working for Putin and his invading army. What you are doing has nothing to do with preventing the USA from getting involved in the war.
Until the insurgency when they IED’d us to pieces. Lots of the Iraqi military also surrendered or slipped away to fight again in the insurgency.

A special on the T-80 series, where there is the most overlap between Uke and Russian tanks - this one identifies equipment by unit and maps losses by unit.

And this is also likely to happen to the Russians, but the havent gotten to that point yet. They haven’t gotten to second base, lets say Nasariyah. First base was Basrah.
Unless they seriously use some of their new weapons extensively and asymmetric warfare tactics. They can change the face of the battlefield. We did not have these things in Iraq and they could have made a big difference. It takes innovation and creativity to deal with these threats.
