True, not a flag upon careful examination but still looks like yellow and blue thing.

Let’s take another look at this claim that “Russia sent 200 tanks” (that would make around 1,500 total, if you add up all of the Kiev claims”.

Any thinking person would ask, “If they had so many tanks, wouldn’t they USE them?”

We know that the largest rebel deployment of tanks so far was during the Debaltseve attacks. They deployed about 90-100 tanks, in total, throughout the fighting, bringing many in after the first couple of weeks.

The largest single group of tanks used so far was the armored attack southeast of Debaltseve, They reportedly used the entire Donetsk “Armored Division” in that attack, which was 25-35 tanks.

It was in this battle that the Donetsk Armor commander, the same guy that set up the armor support system, a 72 yr-old retired Russian Army officer, was killed leading his troops into battle, when his tank hit a mine.

Again, if the rebels had anywhere close to the numbers of Tanks, IFV’s, Guns, and rocket launchers that Kiev claims Russia has given them, don’t you think they would USE THEM?

Or that they would show up on satellite photos?
