God damn... heroes ... t72 took so many beastly hits

They hit the engine on the left side, and he lost power... them they just kept hitting and hitting..

RIP and I hope the guy who got out made it

It said crew escaped but idk

**** Ukraine

Mobility kill, Left Track is broken after hit and rolls off when the tank reverses.
even with light AT weapons that can not penetrate the Armour, you can still put tanks out of action.
Tracks, optics, radio's, weapons

Tanks are an usefull resource in urban combat, but they need to advance behind infantry to clear out any AT-Threats.

Yeah noticed after the track rolling off, once the first hit was taken

Guys should have just run out after the first one

If they're unsupported just abandon tank as soon as first hit is taken

Cus they will keep engaging

8:34 At a briefing, the Russian Defence Ministry listed regions of Ukraine where the population, according to their data, is in favour of “good relations” with Russia. These are the Zaporizhzhya, Dnipropetrovsk, Chernihiv, Kharkiv, Kherson, Mykolayiv, Odessa, Poltava, Sumy, Kirovohrad, Cherkasy, Kiev and Zhytomyr regions. A total of 15 million people retain “strong ties to Russia” in these territories


What about Vinnytsia?

Urban war must be done on foot. With support from the drones. Tanks aren't needed. Maybe send those bmp-t behind the troop. But first reenforce the protection with add ons.

Going building to building and room to room just doesn't work, you'll take insane casualties

They figured that out back in WW2

if you want to take cities, you have a few choices
- level enemy strongpoints, buildings with self-propelled guns, artillery, air power. But the economic damage and civilian casualties in this case is huge, and probably not a good look when you don't have media dominance
- assault enemy strong points and buildings with tanks and infantry; shooting out floors in preparation for infantry to advance up them. In place of tanks you can probably use shmel type rockets in a pinch. Effective, but still a lot of damage, and you'll take considerable casualties
- take a methodical approach, strip away layers of defense, recon out enemy strong points, employ snipers, tank sniping, small squads to advance step by step while laying down suppression fire. You'll take casualties anyway, and it'll take more time. Civilians are more safe this way, but the risk is they could run out of water over the time such an op takes
- use drones creatively like what i theorised on before

Right now Mariupol is mostly of the methodical variety, albeit with artillery and other fire support against isolated Nazi strongppints and encircled troops

I have been posting about the US lunacy that they can manage a nuclear war for years. American decider worms really believe
they can manage nuclear wars. They probably still think that their ABM system can fully shield them from Russian HGV warheads.

I think that tank might have been coming to help the attacked tank in front of it, which ended up being also either destroyed or damaged.

The tank shown in the video sustained at least five direct hits.

The crew member did not leave the tank until at least four direct hits, or until it became unsustainable to remain in the tank.

The tank and its crew were tough.

What's with the mosins?

Makes no sense, just give them SVD. Bolt action and especially in sentry duty?

Today's war report, slow but steady progress. I can't take this anymore, not a day passes without news of another Ukro atrocity, the relief about the people being saved from Mariupol was drowned when I heard of the shelling of people that were being handed aid by the Russians near Kharkov

I wish this would end sooner

Federation of Novorossiya and Malorossiya, with the Neonazi infested Ukraine rotting away to the West, LOL!

These are the militia of the DPR and the DPR, recently mobilized to defend against the attack of Ukraine. So these are not combat units, they play the role of the commandant's office and law enforcement patrols. So they are armed with what is left, and new weapons go to the front. You don't need an AK to keep order at roadblocks.

I think it is necessary to take into account the administrative boundaries of the regions, so it will not be a straight line, and it may be several tens of kilometers to the west.
Although in general, so far Russia continues to insist that no occupation of Ukrainian territories is planned.
