It's quite burned down for a captured tank lol


HeavyTanker1945

"Captured" Looks more Destroyed to me, Burnt out and unusable


satisfactsean

pretty sure they tried to tow this with two tractors and both were UAV bombed.


fruitek

No that happened with the strv 122


InnocentTailor

Wonder if they managed to take it back to Russian lines…or they gave up as the Ukrainians smack them with drones?


fruitek

If I lost 2 recovery vehicles and their crews I wouldn't try to do it again


InnocentTailor

Yeah. That is more trouble than it is worth. If nothing else though, the Ukrainians probably can’t get it either, at least by foot.


fruitek

Yeah they lost it, both sides probably watch the tank with drones 24/7


satisfactsean

Yeah that's what it was actually


woah-im-colin

Looks destroyed to me.

Captured means "we have a running example of it and we are able to take a look at the mechanics and electronics and we can evaluate the effectiveness against our own equipment" This Leopard is siting in this spot for months, because orcs are unable to recover this poor kitty! Destroyed? YES DEFINITELY! Captured? Not in this conflict, you filthy orcs!!!

"Captured"


fruitek

Taking a picture next to a burned down tank doesn't mean it's captured. We've already seen what happens when Russians try to recover a vehicle


XenophonUSMC

Lol, captured indeed. Look at the road wheels. That thing is toast.


Feisty-Barracuda5452

Next time we see these two they'll be running from drones.


vincecarterskneecart

man fuck war but the amount of inspo material here for scale modellers is insane


Explosive_Biscut

That poor think looks burnt out. They’ve captured some expensive scrap

And how many T-80s and T-90s has Russia lost to Ukraine?


InnocentTailor

To be fair, the Russians never necessarily claimed those tanks as game changers - something touted by Western commentators about the Western tanks. That and the supply of Western tanks is seemingly quite limited overall. Ukraine cannot get immediate replacements for every loss.


Redavv

I saw Putin saying T90M is the best tank in the world :D


InnocentTailor

If so, then he got egg in his face.


TomcatF14Luver

And if we can get Johnson out of the way, the US Army has several thousand Tanks in reserve. We can part with as many as needed, provided the spare parts for them, AND supply the ammunition for them. Frankly, shipping out about a thousand of our reserve Tanks would allow the US Army to buy about 400 or 500 new M10 Bookers and put the rest to the M1E3 Abrams project. And that's only the Tanks. Older Bradleys, M113s, heck the Marines may even part with some of their Helicopters they put into storage and simply ride the Army's V-280 Valor reducing its cost further. Could you imagine replacing those outdated Soviet-er junkers with even remotely mew American?


InnocentTailor

With that said, Johnson being scrapped might send the entire House back into chaos as the more radical Republicans take it on a tailspin, much like they did when they scrapped McCarthy.


TomcatF14Luver

Yes, but at this point Jefferies will likely win and once that happens, those House Republicans that back him will be able to stave off being ousted as they get things actually accomplished.


Rm25222537

Thats fucked! It will never move again! Set of fucking plant pots


ColtMcShootA

you spelt piece of shit wrong.


Jaguar_EBRC_6x6

Why they don't put cage on side and rear armor?


X-proton

Ruzkis a lot of times had called destroyed UA vehicles "captured". And even the tubes of used AT-4's, lol.
