  1. This is the first instance I think I have seen in this war of a tank on armor direct engagement.

  2. That tank gunner was probably thinking “This is the easy shot I’ll ever make…” before squeezing the trigger.

    The comms in that tank must have been tense, such an easy probably required a lot of confirmation

  4. You see, the Ukranian tanks have predetermined number of shells inside. Knowing their weakness we send waves after waves of our BTR until they run out and have to disengage. Checkmate!

    Pro tip: if the enemy barrel continues to point directly at you as you move, you might be in danger.

  6. “He’s coming right at us.”

    “One of ours?”

    “Um guys that’s Russian BTR..”

    “No way, he had to have seen us”

    “LITTERALLY 100 metres away. Are they that
    dumb?! What do I do!?”
    “Shoot it!”

    “You sure?”

    “SHOOT IT!!”

    -KABOOM-

    “Guys that was fucked”

  7. My theory : UA tank Roll on mine before. No more power. Part of crew survive. Only manual loading and manual aiming. RU btr comming. Take time to shot the only round available. Cannot use machine gun.

  8. How did the Ukrainian tanks know it was an enemy unit approaching them? And why did they not shoot sooner? Looks like they were confused as well?

    So it looks like they assumed the tanks were Russian, but then after dismounting they didn’t hide from the tanks? Did they think they hit a mine and the tanks were still Russian?

  10. Seems like the first tank was smoking pretty bad or is this normal?
    Maybe they thought it was destroyed.

    The other day there’s a video of a Russian soldier mistook Ukrainian soldiers were fellow Russians. I’d imagine the fog of war is more confusing in an armored vehicle.

    And the guys from destroyed BTR are like : oh, so it is an enemy tank ! Lets walk back to our positions.
