Russian defence chiefs have been mocked for claiming to destroy a German-supplied lethal Leopard 2 tank - when in fact they had blown up tractors in Ukrainian fields.
The ridiculing was led by head of Wagner private army Yevgeny Prigozhin, who sees it as yet more evidence of blundering incompetence by Putin's defence chiefs and army.
The Russian defence ministry hailed 'footage of the destruction of foreign armoured vehicles, including Leopard tanks'.
But in reality, military analysts say the footage showed Russia blasting farm vehicles with a missile fired from a Ka-52 Alligator attack helicopter.
In the video, a Russian crew member onboard the helicopter can be heard asking: 'What kind of machine is that?'
One soldier can be heard saying: 'Let's hit it', to which the other responds: 'Ready to hit it.'
They then could be heard celebrating the strike and saying: 'Yeah, direct hit.'

400 grand would be a poor used one and an older one at that.
The new ones are 900 thousand to one million dollars and about 700 grand for a good used one that has been gone through.
Watch the experts here now.
Nobody, AND I MEAN NOBODY, leaves a million dollar machine out in the fields.
OH RIGHT! The field was mined! ROFLOL!
You asked why leave equipment in a field - I supplied an answer, but somehow that’s a lie?
It’s impossible to take seriously anything about this asinine war that we see read or hear.
“Aside from that, who the eff leaves a million dollar machine out in the field?”
I don’t know, maybe someone fleeing for their life from a war zone?
The problem was that the equipment is all OEM equipped with antitheft transponders. Oops. Farmers, etc. contacted Deere to report stolen equipment. Deere pinged the equipment via satellite and bricked all the electronics. The gear was totally immobilized and nonfunctional when it came time to unload in Russia. BTW, antitheft transponders also have GPS and Deere knows where their equipment is.
I'm sure a long chain of officers were saddened at the loss of big time rubles on the black market.
I will tell you what happened.
That stupid son of a bitch broke down last fall and has been having trouble with that thing.
So he left it out there ALLLLLLLL winter in hopes that it would get blown to hell so he could collect insurance ORRRR his gubermint would buy him a brand new one.
That is what happened.
“I don’t know, maybe someone fleeing for their life from a war zone?”
OH Really? He was out there combining grain in the mud in early spring?
Fall off the turnip truck have you?
“He was out there combining grain in the mud in early spring?
Fall off the turnip truck have you?”
And you know exactly where this field is located and exactly when the Russian army turned that area into a battlefield?
What’s your source for that?
Or are you just pulling it out of your rear end?
So you re in contact with a Ukrainian farmer? How quaint! Is he a relative? Or are you just making things up as usual?
So..he was combining grain in the early spring in the mud?
You did fall off a turnip truck!
BTW .. I worked on those bastards back in the day for farmers in my spare time.
Have you ever leveled the concaves on one of those things? Or set them up for corn.soybeans/wheat/oats or whatever? Whats the difference between the concaves for wheat and corn and soybeans? What do you do with the head/feed speeds in changing from oats/wheat to corn?
Have you set the separators for those things? Or have you repaired the cylinders and bars after they ran a rock or something through it?
You dont know a effing thing. Typical liar...as usual.
And yet they were there. What’s your explanation?🤔
“So..he was combining grain in the early spring in the mud?”
You didn’t answer the questions.
How do you know where that field is and when the Russians showed up to turn it into a battlefield?
Answer the questions or stop your meaningless blathering.
"I'm Nikita Khrushchev and I died. The country was in the middle of my 17-year agrarian and agricultural reform plan. My spirit was reincarnated as this tractor to finish the job!"
Explain to me why anyone was so stupid to drive out and leave a million dollar machine in the middle of a “mine” field.
A muddy mine field.
If you quit asking ignorant and mindless questions, then maybe you might get some answers.
A yet they got blown up.
Most likely an attempt at collecting insurance...
Being that harvest levels were down as a result of that conflict, they are about to get repossessed.
BTW, John Deere does do repossessions in foreign countries.
Yes. It's confirmed publicly by Russia's Ministry of Defense, with video of the destruction.
Most likely an attempt at collecting insurance...
Insurance fraud? I'll park the combine out here! Those drunk Russian pilots will be sure to mistake it for a tank and destroy it! We'll be rich! Never mind that insurance doesn't cover acts of war. No one in Ukraine is getting an insurance payout for their destroyed property.
“Never mind that insurance doesn’t cover acts of war. No one in Ukraine is getting an insurance payout for their destroyed property.”
You forget. They do not have to pay on it anymore. So John Deere can go eff themselves...or whatever make that combine was.
BTW..the government may have had the contract on that combine.
So John Deere, or whatever make it was, can go eff themselves over that one also.
John Deere has become one of thee most crooked bunch to ever make machinery lately. They are in big trouble for the crap they are pulling over here.
I actually hope it was Deere that took the loss.
