It’s the koopa troopas!
Is it just me or was this video super hard to follow with all the cuts?
Look more like Dumpster tanks to me.

“Supported by” more like liable for lol
Its just square boxes with tracks at this point
The “turtle tank” seems like such an odd solution, but I guess they are using what they have…lots of old tanks that they can pull off the bone yard, make the engine/drive train functional, put a shell on them and send them off. It’s a cheap, quick & dirty way to move troops into the battle.
Blows my mind they’re still going on the offensive all over given their losses.
Not many sentences as beautiful as unsuccessful Russian attack
Could have been nice to see they’re intercepted by HIMAR on the infantry.
the attack was 6 sheds with no support. how on earth can a tank operate with all that junk on it? and the troops break up so easily. one tap on the side of the shed and everyone is running in circles panicking. do they even have an objective or is it just “drive that way” /points
Those grest pictures ease the pain of the horrible music
My take is that the sheds are mostly for moral support so the soldiers think they are somewhat protected, and can be fooled into attacking. Remember that their commanders will lie to them about stuff like “just stand still, then the drones can’t see you”. So they are likely saying “this is a drone-proof protection shroud on a tank, nothing can stop you now from above or below”.
Turtle tossing
Scrapyard army
Did the last one come under direct fire? Looked like it was catching some heavy rounds a la autocannon or MG fire.
It’s just crazy how apparently despite the Kursk incursion, Russia has only amplified their attacks within the Ukrainian frontline rather than diverting troops to push them out.
Hurry up and cleanse this filth from the earth.
Russian army has degraded from “second-best” army in the world to the second-best army in Russia.
Holy accuracy Batman, no place to hide.
They’d have more success parachuting in
It sounds like you’re just feeding turtle tanks to the Ukrainians…
SMArt/BONUS shell at 0:50?
These are cope sheds at this point.
Maybe cope guest dachas…?
Looks like they put cardboard boxes on tank tracks.
Russian tanks basically took a 180° in this war to what they were about 100 years ago: a huge turtle like thing meant to protect a few troops on it and just rush to a trench while being sliced open, hoping one of them reaches. Pretty much exactly the same tactic as the Somme deployment in 1916
Turning outdated tanks into APCs with turtle armor is probably the most efficient use of resources I’ve seen out of Russia. Russia has been progressing by dropping off two or three guys at a time his way, and they’re limited by vehicles not manpower.
I think we back to WW1 boxed tanks xD
“Unsuccessful” and “russian” really go well together.
