Seen him mentioned by a reporter. Apparently it was his grandfathers gun from WW2.

Look at the pictures it's more than 1.

Believe it is the same guy.

11E fix your post.




Anyone can explain why ruble isn't going to 10000000 for 1 dollar as expected by the US ? Not the thread but it's related so I post it here but don't start a debat here.

In one of the pictures (one with the t-72B3 in the background, there are 2 men with mosins.

Also, this shows that some type of UV MAWS is essential for tanks, so they can pop smoke when an ATGM is approaching. Also you guys say that the javelin has a conspicuous plume from the rocket. I guess it's not conspicy because the tank crew didn't see it.

What makes you think it was Javelin, not RPG or AT-4? Javelin climbs up to 150 meters for top attack and 60 meters for direct attack. Also, crew ain't dumb, we don't know if they have smoke dispensers loaded, it wouldn't change the fact. It was prepared killzone with multiple angles of attack.

11e your post has destroyed the thread, edit or delete the tweet

Also earlier pictures of DNR troop movements also show multiple people with Mosins.

God damn... heroes ... t72 took so many beastly hits

They hit the engine on the left side, and he lost power... them they just kept hitting and hitting..

RIP and I hope the guy who got out made it

It said crew escaped but idk

**** Ukraine

Mobility kill, Left Track is broken after hit and rolls off when the tank reverses.
even with light AT weapons that can not penetrate the Armour, you can still put tanks out of action.
Tracks, optics, radio's, weapons

Tanks are an usefull resource in urban combat, but they need to advance behind infantry to clear out any AT-Threats.

. Also here we see the piss poor reverse speed of the T-72 dooming it. If it had a 20-50km/h reverse speed like all nato tanks it could retreated very rapidly out of LOS into a side street.
it.

Has nothing to do with reverse speed, the tracks were knocked off completely if you watch the vid

NATO tank with track knocked out would suffer the same thing, mobility kill

A week ago or so there was one DNR guy filmed sporting a PPS-43, saying something like "it's grandpa's old faithful, it killed fascists back then and still does it" or something along those lines.

Obviously just some stunt thing, for the "optics" so to speak.

...But when the Donbass insurrection started in early 2014 there were loads of ancient weaponry being used by the rebels. Many had seized Ukrainian army/Berkut/police AK-74s of course, in the mid-1980's "plum" furniture, but there were also civilian guns, and lots of old Mosins, PPSh's, PPS's, SKS's even some PTRD/S-41s...

The USSR and several other WP countries stockpiled insane amounts of weapons, sealed in oil/grease, in old mine shafts and concrete bunkers. Many of those huge stockpiles date back to the 50's, when Mosins, SKS and PPS etc were still around in big numbers in rear guards before the AKs completely took over.

After the fall of the USSR some of these giant stockpiles were broken up and sold off, mostly in former Warzaw Pact countries, but some from the former USSR as well, which is why import surplus Mosins, SKSes etc, were dirt cheap in the U.S. for quite a while.

One of the Russian Twitter people commented on this stockpiling phenomenon a while back too, saying that some family member of theirs when doing USSR military service in the 1980s saw vehicular stockpiles that even had T-34s left, in mint condition all covered in grease and paper to prevent corrosion. Rather safe to say that those were gotten rid of though, as Russia rather recently bought T-34s from some South East Asian country (I don't remember which) to be used for historical parading duties. But T-55s and onward still remain here and there in massive numbers. Soviet war planning was like that.

During the liberation of Marinka from the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the stronghold of the 1st mech. battalion of the 54th brigade, foreign weapons were found there - NLAW, SMAW grenade launchers, AN / TPQ-48 radars and personal belongings of American instructors who fought on the side of the Ukrainian national battalions. A US Tennessee flag and other items were found in a backpack near the remains of the militants, which made it possible to identify the dead as:
Captain Michael Hawker (Cpt. Michael Hawker),
Lieutenant Logan Shrum (Lt. Logan Shrum) and
Lieutenant Cruz Toblin (Lt. Cruz Tomblin), who came to Ukraine to kill civilians in Donbass in 2018.

08:34 lists the oblasts according to the RU MOD that are in favour of "good relations" with Russia.
Basically includes Odessa and Zhtomyr but doesn'tmention Vinnytsia. Then its all the way East.
They mention 15m people, plus the Donbass and of course Crimea are already liberated.

So I wonder...will there be a partition there?
What will happen to the West?
Because thats where Uncle Sham will want to station his nukes and stage terrorist groups from.

I notice Russia is now striking the West, but its not sending troops there right now.

Frankly I see dealing with Banderastan proper ie Lvov etc to be a lot easier. BEcause if they despise Russia, Russia doesn't have to worry about killing them in an (ahem) surgical strike from a Tu-95 bomber.

The more the Kiev junta delays their capitulation, the more likely is that a federation of independent republics/oblasts is created that can work towards normalization of their political life (i.e. being part of the Russian world according to the historical justice, instead of being shamelessly used as a tool against Russia) in the southeast and maybe even other regions in central Ukraine. If they want to name themselves Federations of Novorussia and Malorussia, well, I would not oppose... Then Lvov can keep the glory of naming themselves Ukraine if they want, being the actual frontier between the Russian and the Western world it would make at least some sense, and this "Ukraine" will indeed need to be neutral and inoffensive. OR ELSE.

Zelensky isn’t a Nazi, but some of his soldiers are Putin's Bloody War in Ukraine Was 15 Years in the Making
Tell Me How Ukraine Ends
Anything can happen, but Putin "losing" in Ukraine seems among the most unlikely of scenarios.

As I predicted, Putin sent his military to Ukraine, & later at least a big part of it will be annexed to RF, while the other part(s) will be given semi-independent/autonomous status or taken by Poland & Hungary. https://youtu.be/If61baWF4GE

The largest military equipment storage bases in Ukraine was outside of Kramatorsk. One of the reasons for the Alamo act at Slavyansk was to allow it to be emptied of any worth while equipment and ammo.
