I Know I Shouldn't Laugh.

In times like this you have to have a break. Every time I read about that Russian soldier running after his tank that the Ukrainian farmer is trying to tow away just doubles me up. Does anyone know if its true? :) There had got to be more than one Russian in or out that tank.

You should laugh, it's hilarious

Whether it's genuine or not no one seems to know

[Mamyalynne]

True or not, it does provide some light relief.

[Peter Pedant]

amazingly
it seems to be true...

If it is true it just goes to show however big and mighty you think you may be, someone can come along with the most basic tool and make a complete fool of you. :)

Didn't look like a tank to me.

He didn't have to run very fast.

20.17 Looks like a single missile launcher.

won't open now. Putain's ijiuts have probably put their clamps on the vlid.

[Hopkirk]

He probably only got out for a wazz.

I doubt if it was a tank and just because there’s a video durant mean it’s true.
But I suspect it is true.

There was the old bloke who passed a broken down military vehicle and offered them a lift back to the border.
If the Russians didn’t have those evil missiles they’d be absolute crap

I hope it's true about the mutiny, but I have my doubts.

[sandra4444]

Wouldn't it be great if all those Russian troops decided to stop were they are, and fight for Ukraine. Wishful thinking.

[DTCwordfan]

I must say that a Ukranian general faced with a 40km or mile line of tanks, armoured vehicles and all the rest inc. the Russian entertainment, lining up to make a charge for Kiev I would have been wetting myself - in anticipation. Pick off the front 15-50 vehicles with all those surface to surface missiles/bazookas and the rest, let them pile up and pick off the rest.....the only problem being clearing the road afterwards.

// I would have been wetting myself - in anticipation.//
even the -ology hacks in the Beeb were wondering that.
and the answer may be
Ukrainians are down to pea-shooters

bad news for the good guys if true

[sandra4444]

I'm wondering why that's not happened to be honest, its a golden opportunity, but may be easier said than done.
One thing I have picked up on, and may be others on here, is Nato keeps saying they will not put " boots on the ground" they don't need to with some of the armed drones they have???????

[DTCwordfan]

I doubt that - this could be a grave situation for the Kremlin conscripts....

[ichkeria]

I think that would still count as “engaging the enemy”

[ichkeria]

“I hope it's true about the mutiny, but I have my doubts.“

So do I
Great headline though

[sandra4444]

But the Russians already know that the west is supplying arms. That can include drones????
