Terrified Russian troops flee when their armoured vehicles
are destroyed by pinpoint Ukrainian fire as they leave
behind wounded comrades who are forced to crawl to save
their lives in shocking video
Footage from a fierce ongoing battle around Vuhledar,
southwest of Donetsk, shows Russian soldiers retreating
after their five vehicles were hit by Ukrainian artillery.
The Russian troops were forced to run away and leave their
wounded crawling behind them after being struck by airburst
ammunition.
. . .
Geez ... never piss-off Ukrainians.
It has been amazing how MUCH damage to Russia that
Ukrainians have been able to do despite being a
militarily "inferior" force. They are clever,
resourceful, determined - and shoot straight.
Putin is allegedly planning a spring offensive,
mostly with prison conscripts and old men. It'll
be a slaughter even IF NATO cannot deliver the
promised tanks by then.
A clue for NATO ... various, useful, kinds of
DRONES are a lot quicker/cheaper to build. The
Ukrainians have their own cottage industries
and their drones have done considerable damage
to Russian armor. Provide them with a step or
two up in drone tech and they'll kick ass.
