Yeah till you run out of gas.

The Germans in WW2 produced monster tanks like the Tiger and the King Tiger, they even built a behemoth they called the “Jagdtiger’’. This thing had eight inches of armor and a 128mm main gun.

The things ran out of fuel and had to be abandoned. The Russkies are probably in the same situation.

I for one continue to pray that this Russian invasion now will end. The world came together to support the cause of freedom for this fledgling nation.

I believe all of us should recognize the miracle of this hoped for end to the Russian invasion and that each of us should direct all honor and praise be given to Almighty God for answer to world-wide hope-filled prayer for Ukrainian victory.

Yup. I see Zelensky’s biggest cheerleader has resurfaced here on FR.

Who is this broad anyway?

In the history of warfare, its a very common practice.

And leave your clearly fake politeness somewhere else. Real politeness doesn’t come after cynical barbs.

It has been traditional military tactics for centuries to sabotage abandoned equipment during a “stratgic repositioning”. Of course we didn't do that when we left Afcrapistan; so the Russians seem to following our lead

Usually if you’re going to abandon equipment, you either booby trap it, or more likely render it forever unusable. (i.e. spike the barrel)

Also, you’d rig the ammo dump so you can blow it sky high at a time of your choosing, most likely remotey detonate it when the enemy has gathered around to see their “spoils” of war.

I find it hard to believe the Russians wouldn’t have done these things.

You booby trap if it is a controlled retreat. In the case of a panicked retreat you don’t

There's no way to convincingly make the situation look better for the Russian army. It failed.

Amen to that. The Russians would be best served by rolling what remains of their invasion and occupying forces back across their border. Failing that, this attempt to plunder and pillage Ukraine is only going to spiral downward for them.

For sale… Russian military rifles - never fired and dropped only once.

The fact that the Russians just cut and run made the loss of life on both sides less. Praise God!

In fairness, it’s kind of tough to argue that the Russians didn’t have much armor left, then argue that they left massive quantities of it behind. Either they had it, or they didn’t.


Didn’t have much armor left RELATIVE to how much they began with. Armor also counts various fighting vehicles beside tanks.

6 tanks here, 9 thanks tanks there are “massive” to reporters seeking a headline, but inconsequential to the standard Russian Mechanized Brigade which can have up to 60 tanks. Tank brigades have more.
