If this pathetic, diminished display of a severely depleted military doesn't force the Muscovites to start asking questions about Putin's "Special Military Operation" then nothing will.

Each week, your "victories" get sadder and sadder.

Global warming considerations?

Is this what an electric tank will look like?

Why provide targets?? And I believe the tank was supposed to be symbolic of something...so not about their tank force.

The Tank is 83 years old...so 1940. Totally symbolic.

I must be the only person in the world who recognizes how ridiculous it is to draw such wide ranging conclusions based on parade composition.

IIRC The hapless Rooskie army took a few tanks off of their monuments and got them in running condition. Then sent them to the Ukraine fronts.

Nice communist flag on that tank. Telling. How can a supposed American conservative support a country that flies that?

Totally symbolic.

Indeed so...of a decrepit, depleted Russian military that now has to use antique tanks on the front lines in Ukraine.

The T-34 was designed in 1934, pre WWII.
