Russian's have been busy bombing a hugely strategic shopping centre, full of shoppers today.. It's hard not to be emotive about it, but they are utterly abhorrent.

Russia are sending in the big guns, no sorry big buns for it's new General in the area.

"Due to significant losses among competent commanders, Russia has been forced to send in retired Major General Pavel to oversee a special forces unit operating in Eastern Ukraine.

Pavel is a 67-year-old veteran of Russia's war in Afghanistan."

And by that he means he eats them continually.

The civilised world calls those "Snickers" nowadays.

I can't quite decide ,if the russian equipment and tech is so bad that they have no control where their munitions land, or if they are just utter cocks and just don't care in the slightest.

Suspect it's a lot of both.

Wait for it: Putin says those pesky Nazis were using the shoppers as human shields...

If the rumours are true then its reported that this man eats 5 meals a day and drinks 1 litre of vodka...every day eek his uniform will need to be specially made and will need to wear 2 sets of body armour. He is currently retired so they must be desperate!

Russian tanks meet Ukrainian mine field, it looks like the first one got hit on the road so they moved into the field and found more. got to say the speed of the Russian tanks is impressive,
it must make you more carfull going forward after that, it looks like the rest all stopped and became a sitting target , hopefully with the drone up the rest will be hit.

Would there be any survivors from that tank ?

Just look at the sheer volume of hospitals, schools, shopping centers that have been hit.

They have been targeted.

Ukraine is hitting them where it hurts, slowly destroying their Ammo dumps with there new toys.
And the Russians can’t stop them.

So they are just being c#nts and hitting anything they can.

You can just make out movement on the turret after the explosion. I think this means the crew survived the initial explosion.

Think they may have needed some paracetamol though.

The hatch pops...not sure if I see a person get out though. Could just be smoke...I'm guessing its a mess inside there.

Given their track record i don't think there is any doubt its deliberate targeting.
One of their apparent aims is the extermination of ukriane as a nation and as an identity.

Anti-tank mines will generally immobilise a main battle tank but make a real mess of lighter armoured vehicles like all the BMP variants.

Recently there have been videos of skif/stugna/fagot hits on BMPs where all the troops are sitting on the top of them (like you'd see with APCs in Vietnam).

Given his likely life expectancy as a Russian general on the battlefield I’d be dragging my heels on that order, as it’s likely that you could just take the money and not make anything since he won’t have much use for it by the time it arrives. It’s likely that the supplier is doing all of that anyway, but for different reasons.

No sign of fire which suggests the fuel and ammunition weren't hit.

Still probable that the force and spalling did some damage to the crew and any material that wasn't secured will have bounced about!
