  1. As always, progress starts with drones, observing the area with drones is essential before any movement

  3. At 2:15 they find the t80.

    Okay but serious, the fact that they found a fully functioning t80 then proceeded to hop in, start it up, and roll away with it. Might be one of the wildest things I’ve seen yet.

    Obligatory: Russia doesn’t want you to know that all the tanks are free. I have 3 T80’s at home

  4. Since Ukraine is having trouble finding Russian Armour in Ukraine, they decide to hop over into Russia and replenish stocks.

  5. It’s really swell of the Russians to leave a fully fueled and operational T80 just in case someone needs one… “Hey! Free tank! 🙂 “

  6. I know it’s not fun and they probably die 60% of them on the front lines but damn does that look fun

  7. Maybe thinking with too much of a HOI4 mindset, but what’s the chance this whole advance is a ploy by Russia to draw Ukraine into overextending and allowing an encirclement attempt later?

  8. My question is, do they make use of the mines they put aside over the bridge? For example, do they use it in other fronts like chasiv yar for example?

  9. Me, playing Metal Slug as a kid: *”LOL! Why would there be a fully functional tank sitting here for me to jump into…?”*

    What’s next; loot-crates?

  10. GTA 1 vibes. Just walk in and take a randomly parked tank.

    I was expecting it to even be booby trapped. Even hiding 1 or 2 mines under the track with dirty if it was taken would’ve been more strategic than whatever the fuck the bridge mines were for.

  11. Good. They seem focused, professional and are moving fast. Moving fast is key, I think. By the time someone in Russia who could do something about it gets a location, they are long gone.
