That is crazy how much warning they have, Knowing such facilities are being targeted, and yet they are powerless to stop it.

Great work, Ukraine.

Yup, #### is going down In Kharkiv region right now. My wife's village, Kozacha Lopan is once again in the cross fire. My MIL is on the phone with her brother and his wife right now getting their situation. All the stores have packed up and gone, no UA soldiers or gear remain. Power has been turned off. It's a grey zone now.

Going to ugly on that front over the next few weeks. Ukrainians army seems to be ready for this attack per their claim. We'll see. Hoping that US aid gets their ASAP.

Russians pouring across the border into Kharkiv Region, no armor, lightly armed, disposable cannon fodder, like Russia's war against Japan in which Russians were sent in even without weapons. The meat waves have begun.

The current situation at the northern Kharkiv frontline is not entirely clear, but we can assume that Russians have moved into some undefended and empty villages along the border, just outside Russia.

Has everyone already seen the new Russian "assault garages", aka turtle tanks or blyatmobils?

Very Mad Max, but also very medieval. Yes, these are real, it's an 8 minute video of just turtle tanks.



Do you want to know more? Heres an hour long video about the topic of field modified vehicles more generally, but also turtle tanks.

The one at 47:00 is quite impressive, forgo offense and pretty much everything...to not die. But put a giant V on the camouflaged shell so you don't forget this is a proud modern Russian design.

And let's put ERA on everything!

Is the concept on those that the armor piercing elements will activate on the outer shell, and so not be able to properly defeat the armor beneath?

I think that's a loser's game... It's not like yield is the limiting factor on a tank destroying weapon.

Just disable the track on one or both sides of the killdozer, or collapse a wheel so the track runs off course.

Just so you know the tracks and road wheel were just as exposed prior to this evolution
