Did One Russian Tank Destroy An Entire Ukrainian Armored Column?

 

RT: Single Russian tank destroys Ukrainian armored column (VIDEO)  

The heavy armor has stopped an attack by two tanks and several military vehicles, Russian media has reported .

A single Russian tank supported by artillery has stopped a Ukrainian attack that involved around a dozen armored equipment pieces, Russian media reported on Saturday. A video of the battle first appeared on Telegram channels and was then posted by RIA Novosti. 

The fighting took place in Zaporozhye Region, where the Ukrainian troops sought to assault Russian defensive positions, the news agency reported. Russia’s aerial reconnaissance detected a Ukrainian column moving towards the frontline. “We had an armor piece in this area,” a Russian unit commander told RIA Novosti, adding that the tank’s crew was ordered to intercept the enemy and “engaged in a battle.”

WNU Editor: I think what we are seeing here is what happens when everything goes right for one side, and everything goes wrong for the other. 

On the Russian side we see a tank supported by drone observers (two of them), knowing where the mine fields are, followed with artillery and missile support. On the Ukraine side we see no drone observers, restricted in movement because they did not know where the mines are, and no artillery support.

 Luck (and bad luck) also probably played a role.

I guess Ukrainians have a lot of bad luck then, because when you watch various mapping sites, the tag line at the end of every segment is "...and the Krainians took heavy losses".

Whether they attack or defend, advance or retreat, whatever. It's always a bad day.

Rumors abound that the orders to die by Russia come straight from the absolute highest levels of command, Field Marxhall von Nuland. Now the blame game has erupted, fingers pointing in every direction, but at the neo-cons who thought having a conflict with Russia was a prized goal.

The dial is moving from "Ukraine will win!" to "Ukraine can win" to "Ukraine Can Still Win" to "Ulraine tries new tactics, as offensive slows" to now "Ukraine In Stalemate" moving to "Biden Seeks Frozen Conflict".

Still a long way to "Ukraine losing ground" at which points reports will fade away, the MSM won't report "Ukraine Has Lost".

That video is all over YouTube, freakin awesome. If The Ukrainians were the good guys, things like this wouldn’t be happening. If god is with Russia, then who do we have? 👿

No. These are not German tanks in ww2. Stop hyping up bullshit stories. The Russians will win (I hope) but they are not that good.

The Ghost of Michael Wittmann.

It is very possible this happened as written. One lone tank, well positioned and, having the element of surprise can do this. Especially when the other poor bastard is scrambling, confused, because he is being hit by artillery.

Well this is all lies. There is no way this could have happened

We know perfectly well, according to Fazman, Chris and The Hanover GS cabal, that the Russians are all poorly trained , have low morale, and cannot even tie their own shoes. .

This is one of the reasons we know, for a fact, that the Ukrainian Offensive that began on 4 June 2023 has been a great success!

I think we all can agree, this epic military operation will be taught and used in military schools across the world as a glorious example of the proper way to deploy forces in combat.

Fazman has yet to come in to confirm or deny this story. Let's not jump to any conclusions until he speaks. His silence is worrying.

Nothing but your usual hyperbole without substance , making up and recounting tales as you go along , like rhe Baird's of ye ol England. Lol

Chris and l can also tell what's taught in military academies across the globe ..how to capture Kiev, and capture or assassinate heads of state, while trying not to lose entire armoured brigades and your paratroopers.

The guys who learned at those academies don't seem to be performing very well right now. Perhaps that's why Russia didn't set out with those goals you stated in the first place.

Just a joke as the Stakhanovisme was. Next time a lone tank will destroy NATO.
