Footage showed numerous destroyed tanks, vehicles as well as multiple Russian casualties dispersed in a field.

Ukraine has wiped out on of Russia's biggest tank charges since the start of the war, destroying 12 tanks in one day.

Footage showed 48 Russian tanks and other vehicles coming under attack from Ukrainian drones, missiles and artillery.

It shows the convoy of Russian tanks and armoured vehicles moving in the east of Ukraine alongside soldiers.

Kyiv's forces then struck the convoy as it moved down a single road, taking out 12 tanks and eight armoured vehicles as well as several Russian personnel.

Footage then captured smoke billowing from the vehicles as they lay in a field in Tonenke, eight miles west of Avdiivka.

The only winners, besides Russia, are the Military Industrial Complex and all the crooked bastards in the US and elsewhere who are lining their pockets.

Because that’s how winning armies/leaders do it.

How them Russian refineries?

How are your prices at the pump coming along lefty?

Resupply of ammo to Ukraine started 6 weeks ago. Almost all from European sources.

The silver lining of the delay in Ukraine aid from US Congress is that it's forcing the Europeans to contribute their share to support Ukraine in their defense against Russia.

Unlike many of the posters on this thread, I am an American. Russia doesn't export gasoline to the United States.

In fact, at the moment Russia doesn't export gasoline anywhere. (Poor Vladimir!)

You have no clue.

mass55th—”LOL!! Russia’s sitting back, watching all the countries that are sending money and military equipment to Ukraine, depleting their own resources, and destroying their economies. Putin’s laughing his ass off, and rightly so.”

Which is it? Are the American, NATO, and our Pacific allies getting rich from increased weapons manufacturing and sales, or are we all just using up the ones we had in storage and not making new and better ones, leaving ourselves defenseless?

Do you think you'll ever know the truth under this regime? In this country, it's the politicians on both sides of the aisle that have investments in the military industrial complex, whose family members and friends have investments, as well as their big donors who are making money off the war.

For cripes sake, they can't even get anyone to join our armed services here. What does that tell you? Biden had to ask South Korea and Japan to send artillery shells to Ukraine. What does that tell you?

[GMThrust]

I concur.

[McGruff]

Not to worry. New recruits are headed to the front lines.

[taxesareforever]

Just more propaganda to make the money people ante up more funds.

[ansel12]

LOL, make up your mind.

Are we “depleting” our military stocks and ability to defend ourselves or are we greedily opening up new manufacturing plants and adding shifts to get rich from our new increases in weaponry and readiness.

[Revel]

Yup. They got it all in hand. They don’t need anything from us.

[mass55th]

Both, but I guess you couldn’t comprehend that from what I so clearly wrote.

If they are 17 years old then they can be Marines.

My take is different, this Russian invasion has revealed all sorts of weaknesses in NATO, complacency, low military spending, a decay and stagnation in much of our weapons and ammo production, so all these new fixes are good news.

New unity, new weapon factories, replacing old stuff with new and improved, increased military budgets, new, more conservative outlooks on military readiness, we are much improved over where we were 25 months ago.

[marcusmaximus]

Yep. 100%.

[Republican Wildcat]

“Obliterated”, eh?

I somehow doubt it.
