    yeah russia’s ability to send mid-20th century mbt’s to ukraine for scrapping by drone has been wild.

    my fav is the turtle cage, the gigantic boxes of welded metal where the turret can’t move and they don’t even provide the gun with ammo, just use it as some kind of giant shit troop transport.

    I know russia uses blocking units to keep their forces from retreating but they also must have some kind of prodding battalions just to get these poor shitbags to the front line in the first place, there’s no fucking way I’d hop on a chinese quad or ride some battery powered scooter into combat but we’re seeing it every fucking day.
