Very small chance.. very unlikely.. Russia will not send T-72b3 tanks ,that Ukraine is not supposed to have..
IF Russia wanted to help will mod Tanks to look like T-80.. or simply send T-72 cheap models that Ukraine have.

I hate to say that that "small chance" is actually quite big. Kiev isn't smart enough to fake this, and that is something you of all people knows very well!

Nor does Kiev have the money to fake it.

Yep, they lack both money and brainpower, what a surprise!

Start with the top post. Doesn't look so good, does it?

Yeah, EU of a number of nations vs 1 nation = China.

Seems EU may need Russian trade afterall lol

Tack on the next oil/gas deal with China, in the hundreds of billions, may change everything.

Hundreds of billions spread out over decades.

No, it won't change shit. China won't be Russia's biggest trading partner for many many years, if ever. Unless trade with Europe totally craps out, which would be devastating. And would probably lead to Putin developing an army of domestic enemies.

NATO can easily modify a T-72 from the many that exist in baltic states,Georgia ,and others european nations and made it look like the B3.. even if is only in appearance.. very easily.  IF it was a Russian made Tank.. then the RUptly video information is lying then.. i believe is not a Russian tank. for the simple reason that it will have easily by the west to proof Russia was sending hardware.. A Russia intentions are clearly to remain undercover as much as possible. Simple common sense. Another reason why i don't think Putin is a fool , is because NATo spies are everywhere in eastern ukraine fighting with the ukies.. and he will not send technology there ,to a place with many CIA and NATO mercenaries to steal any modern technology so they can study it and learn how to counter it..

Highly doubt that.  EU is a mess economically and of EU imports from Russia, is pretty much oil/gas.  Russia on the other hand exports heavy industrial equipment, and other goods to other countries outside of the EU.  If they lose trade with EU, only the oil and gas companies will be hit hard till they can find other partners.  Domestic companies will have to find alternatives to obtain the equipment.  Already, majority of that is coming from China, outside of maybe what can be produced inside the country.  80% of the exports from Russia to EU is oil and gas.  If not more.  Rest is agricultural and other raw materials like metals.  Which will hurt those industries.  Doubt though it will cause a catastrophe besides pissing off some big time oligarches.

LOL yep.

Undercover? They sent T-64s in DAYLIGHT across Russia.

Of course you have zero backup for any of your nutty theories Van, meanwhile the rest of the sane universe can put two and two together.

No surprise that the rebels suddenly start kicking the Ukranian armies ass on all fronts, and TOTALLY MYSTERIOUS NON -RUSSIAN weapons are appearing all over the place.

NATO could. But I doubt they would be able to do that, and cover it up as well. Unless they did it in a small amount of time, which is questionable at best.

Very unlikely Vann7, I get what you're getting at but not everything is a conspiracy...

It is like Pavlov's dogs: the (foreign) Russia strong brigade comes in seconds to deny any claims of Russian involvement.

Im not saying that Russia is not helping at all..
I will not be surprised that Russia have there 5,000 private mercenaries ,veterans retired from Russian army.

What im saying that is makes Absolutely NO sense .. to send their latest technology.. their latest T-72 with latest reactive armor to Ukraine because..

1) There are hundreds of NATO private mercenaries in eastern ukraine and could capture the technology..
So russia will not like their latest technology to be stolen.

2) It will be very bad for Russian business if the T-72b3 end destroyed everywhere..

3) the video clearly says Dobass batalion convoy destroyed on the description..that was trying to infiltrate .

So plenty of reasons to believe is not from Russia.

Opinions based on flimsy or non-existent evidence, or outright crackpot theories, deserve to be treated as such.

Good, we are at least finally making progress. You admit the obvious, Russia has, and has been, fueling arms into the conflict zone.
As for not making sense, first of all, it has K-5 ERA. That is late Cold War ERA, nothing "latest" about it. Why they sent it instead of T-72Bs (they have sent many of those as well ) , please adress your concerns to the Russian government.

1.) Yes yes, NATO mercenaries whatever. Just like in Georgia right . Anwyays, T-72B3 is in no universe Russia's latest technology. It would be very embarrassing if it was. It is a cheap modernization. Not even the best one Russia can, or has made. Rogatka say hi.
2.) They don't care. T-72B3 is not some hot new export item. As far as most are concerned, just some more T-72s blowing up. Not like the B3 is supposed to be better in the protection department.
3.) I already adressed this. The Uks captured T-72s. They were later ambushed and destroyed. Of course it is also possible the rebel one was lost in the fighting, but it seems this one was manned by Donbass guys when hit.

Plenty of reasons why there is only one obvious answer to this B3 "puzzle".

Given the kind of attacks the posters in this thread carried out on me whenever I posted anything contrary to their (once again, foreign) Russia strong obsessive views regarding the conflict, I have decided pleasantries are better not wasted on this thread.

I recall the guy with the Georgian flag being captured. What ever happened to him?

Turrets often separate from the body if hit correctly, especially if the magazine erupted.

You know tanks can detonate? Right? The detonation has thrown the turret clear of the tank in many cases, and completely ripped the hull apart in others. In Ossetia a T-72 went up, the hull was COMPLETELY ripped to pieces, and the turret flew like 50 feet away and went through the ceiling of a concrete building.

If the video panned, I am sure we would see the results of the detonation. Either way....the turret is there, and it is obvious what it came from.

You seriously don't understand why you're "attacked"? It sure as heck isn't your opinion... 

At the very least your last comment was an "improvement".

I know why I am. Because this thread is a circlejerk of Russia-strong tards for the most part.

Any dissension from the crack pot theories put forward here, to any criticism of Russia, is viscous attacked (idiotically to may I add).

But I am beyond caring about that. I just like watching certain people squirm when it comes to this tank issue.

Oh ho ho! The gay jokes again!

The level of mancrush here that some have towards the Botox Queen is definitely worthy of a gay romantic comedy though.

Not convinced yet..
You don't your best hardware (in this case best T-72) to a warzone ,and get it destroyed
so that later it have a very bad negative image.. It looks to me Kiev/NATO modded a T-72 , to look like a
T-72b3 ,to provoke a show about the quality of Russian hardware. This is the same reason.. Why you will never see
Moder Nato tanks supplied to kiev.. Because will be catastrophic bad image and for the future sales of their tanks if Novorosiya fighters lose a hundred of them in combat
