WNU Editor: The above video was not taken recently. There is too much snow on the ground. The front-lines are now mostly muddy and/or barren.

ReplyDeleteWhen you do not have tanks, IFVs or enough anti tank weapons or arty...this is what you do. A logical outcome of desperation.
Just like the guerillas in Iraq Afghanistan or vietnam.
Ukraine forces seems to be playing well with other end
ReplyDeleteI agree with 6:20. keeping alive can make you creative. But, speaking from ignorance on my part, I thought a modern tank provided protection from exterior blasts and were vulnerable from single point high impact penetration weapons or mines exploded beneath them. I guess an IED vehicle exploded outside a tank could damage tracks, optics ect.
