@hippyjoe1955 says [quote]ever heard of a feint?[/quote] a Russian feint where dozens of Russian tanks are destroyed in the first day? [i]RIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT[/i]
Notice how many Russian tanks have their turrets blown off? It 's a design defect. A well targeted TOW round can detonate the tank's own munitions that are stored in the turret.
@ElwoodBlues And if you want to you can find countless videos of destroyed German tanks that were operated by the Ukrainians. There are literally scrap yards of Ukrainian armored vehicles of German, French, British and American design. Russia has complete air superiority and their Alligators are devastating. I heard a British mercenary who had just come off the line. He had fought in the middle east a number of years ago so he is not some sort of newbie. He was saying how bad it is for the Ukrainians on the front line. They are being shot at with artillery and missiles and machine guns and small arms 24/7. They can't run and they can't hide and they can't even call for backup because their radios are being jammed. He went on to say that the Ukrainian soldiers are deserting in droves to Russia because they may be prisoners of war but they are safe. If they try to go back into Ukraine it is likely that they will be shot. I saw a video of an event where 5 Ukrainian soldiers were evacuating one of their wounded troop mates tot the rear. They radioed for help and hid in a trench. When the Ukrainian IFV showed up to help the IFV started shooting at the 5 healthy men. It would seem that Ukraine thought they were deserters. The video didn't show how many of the 5 were wounded or killed but the Ukrainian who shot the video went to the Russian side the next day. He said he had been ordered to attack the Russians and as he moved forward he was surrounded by dead Ukrainian soldiers who had been killed in the last attack. He had enough. He was one of 20 men that surrendered that day. It is so sad that there is such a country as the US and its puppets in NATO. I read that Canada has become a Guarenter of Ukrainian safety. I hope that means safety for the many Ukrainians I am meeting in Canada.

@ElwoodBlues As usual you have no investigation on your side. If you were at all interested in finding out the truth you would be doing your own research. Instead you rely on official sources of one side only. No wonder you won a Darwin. You don't research. You just take the word of officials.
@Wiseacre Yes it is. I have met quite a few of them. There is a small housing complex just west of my house. I call it Little Kiev. There are 5 Ukrainian families living in that small complex. Wonderful people. They have all said they want to stay and become Canadian citizens. I hope they are successful although I do feel very badly for the Ukrainians still living in Ukraine. I hear they are eating a lot of potatoes.
@hippyjoe1955 [quote]you have no investigation on your side.[/quote] You still provide no links, just bullshitting. Your "superpower" is lying, and links and data are your [c=359E00]kryptonite,[/c] [b]LOL!!![/b]
@Wiseacre They have temporary worm permits. They also have health care and are expected to pay taxed on their earnings. I am teaching one Ukrainian how to drive. He and his wife bought an old Toyota van that can carry all 6 of them where they want to go. He was telling me today that his friend who has a drivers license let him drive his van across the city and back.
@Wiseacre Funny little story. I was in BC last week and met a woman who had an Eastern European accent. I asked if she was Ukrainian. She said that she was Russian but she had a Ukrainian who worked for her. Sadly the man moved to Alberta because he had a family to support and BC was too expensive to do that. Alberta gained another good guy and family.
