Ukrainian fighters were overjoyed after they blew up one of Russia's deadly vacuum bomb launchers in an enormous explosion.
Vladimir Putin's war effort was once again damaged as Volodymyr Zelensky's troops destroyed another piece of Moscow's military equipment.
The Ukrainian 80th Air Assault Brigade hit a TZM-T (TOS-1 reloading vehicle) with a Stugna-P ATGM, a Ukrainian anti-tank guided missile.
Footage shows missiles being fired at a Russian TOS-1 launcher on the side of a hill before the thermobaric missile launcher explodes with a massive ball of fire and thick smoke.

If you’re on the losing side, you don’t get to demand conditions.
were these the same losers who lost miserably of epic proportions from Mariupol ? or the steel plant who are now POW’s?
The solution is self-evident to anyone who’s ever read census figures. Certain parts of the Ukraine that are Russophone should be returned to Russia. The rest of Ukraine should remain independent. I supported Putin when he limited his aims to the Russophone regions, as if you’re going to be ruled by crooks at least the Moscow crooks speak Russian. But when he moved his forces aggressively on Ukrainian-speaking regions, it was a step too far. Any putative czar who thinks he can reunite the “three Russias” is living some 19th century vodka-induced Panslavist fantasy.
Those pictures on the Daily Mail are not very convincing. Those pictures could be reflections off Kim Kardashian’s golden boobs.
The people in the Donbas speak mostly Russian. Zelensky’s native tongue is Russian.
The Donbass is a region I’m referencing. At least, given them an internationally-monitored referendum.
Mark my words
DRP and Russian support continue to consolidate control over Luhansk and Donbas
Nevertheless Globalist Inc will declare victory
Hell they control 97% of all info flow what’s to stop them
AZOV terrorists lucky to not be lynched by the locals due strictly to Russian army forcing DRP to allow them safe passage to POW camps I assume for exchanges laters....around 3000
Were called evacuated not surrendered
I mean you can’t make this shite up....the level of lies they propagate daily to prolong this needlessly
Russia has the east and they will hold it
I doubt Uke goes NATO
Putin won or will and this crap which could have been avoided will be settled science regardless of how Globalist inc parses it for the masses or how much the left and many on the right exploit it
All of the blood mostly of Donbas civilians who endured eight years of Ukrop and Azov indiscriminate shellings and worse
What a fiasco based on political proxy and gamesmanship
I’d love to have seen K street and defense industry chicken hawks and Lindsey Graham and Sean Hannity on the streets of Mariupol dodging Azov artillery and roving bands murdering civilians in broad daylight
Yes I’d pay for that
I loathe those bastards
Cold Warriors here ....rub my nose in it if I’m wrong ...and unlike 99.999% of this forum I’ll eat crow and admit it
3000 POWs from Azovstal is Million Man Math. Try 500.
They’ve already done that ....twice in some instances
89% in favor of autonomy or joining Russia
Crimea same thing
West dismisses it
Of course
This was all so pointless and civilians paid the price past eight years which our media conveniently ignores
Not me cause I follow it
My son and I communicated with DRP soldiers during this ....several of whom were killed
Strange wars these days ....
Neither side is pristine retaliation wise....DRP will kille Azov prisoners given the chance but the hype about Azov dogma and behavior to civilians is not exaggerated much
Any particular reason you and your son followed this? I know it has neen simmering but so have a lot of other areas...
Of course .....your math is Globalist inc math
Just like your source Daily Mail....Bible of legitimacy.....which you pimp nonstop
Are they paying you?
Evacuated not surrendere to POW camps and hospitals ....did you get your count from same source who said that BS
I get my count from reporters observing surrender
You’re from Globalst inc
Truth may be less but it’s a damn site higher than 500
Evacuees ?
Does truth simply not matter to you Marcus
The road to ends justifies means is a perilous one
Just saying
The West’s propaganda lies may be tellable.....no question of that....but lord they have cost and continue to cost a lot of blood
Not theirs of course
When a militia or battalion whatever walks out of a stronghold under siege and lays down their arms and allows themselves and rucks etc to be searched or and walk the perp walk for cameras
And marched off to be transported to camps controlled by their foe
Are they being evacuated or surrendering ?
Every Globalistijc media org aped the exact same bullshit
“Evacuated”
Do you just play along or are you a true believer MM?
I hope this is the beginning of the end
Innocents slaughtered needlessly
There is little difference between the two languages other than dialect and the spelling of certain words.
My attorney is half Russian ethnic Uke and half Uke Uke
That got my son interested ...
You can talk to soldiers on social media about any conflict these days
You get interesting perspectives
My oldest son is history oriented and it started when he noticed neocons supporting the side in the Syria civil war which included ISIS and he questioned that
So he sorts learns where the sites are
Some of them post real time go pro or recent video
It’s crazy
He followed Kurds too....lost respect for them in time due to corruption and ineptitude
He is an Uber nationalist southerner here and he went into the Uke sit rep sympathetic to Ukrop
But over time learning the sentiments of Donbas and Luhansk and the corruption and autocracy of Ukraine his support waned
He’s pretty much pro DRP
I just want it to end....the civilian causialty tapes I’ve seen are ghastly
Less than 500 POWs. Pretty embarrassing for Russia that it took them 3 months to obtain a surrender of 500 Ukrainian defenders that were 40 miles from the Russian border. 3 months. All that destruction and death in order for Russia to beg for the surrender of 500 POWs. But that’s Russia for you.
Agreed. Today the whole world is watching. There is no good reason for the Russophone regions not to be added to Russia if that is what the locals want. Moving the dissenters out is lots cheaper than war. Putin should announce his intentions to limit his advance to these areas, for the reasons stated and hunker down. As the war drags on to a stalemate, the propaganda-induced enthusiasm in the West will ebb.
By the same token, Bosna-Srpska needs to be reattached to Serbia.
Whether they speak Russian or not is somewhat meaningless.
Germany should take over 3/4s of Switzerland because those Swizz speak German?
If Swiss had a bunch of nukes, they wouldn’t hesitate to bully their neighbors.
