Beating eight seven in (not quite) one fell swoop

Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.

Commentary by Russian military blogger Andrey Chervonets

This video has been featured repeatedly on Russian socialist media, with later descriptions pointing out that two of the eight seven destroyed vehicles were tanks. Hard to tell from the video.

The vehicles destroyed were: two tanks and five MaxxPro armored vehicles.

According to other descriptions, the tank crew engaged a number of vehicles, retreated, then came back to defeat the remainder.

Impressive if the other two were BMP-2s with their 30mm autocannon, which can fuck up a tank/BMP in nothing flat.

Or MBTs.

In a matter of minutes, eight pieces of equipment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were destroyed.

Especially pleased with the Russian tank, which came out against eight pieces of armored vehicles of the ukrovermacht and remained the winner. Watch the video below



It is advisable to watch the video with sound and from the beginning, although in the first minutes only the beginning of events takes place.

#2  Nothing new, Western media and Ukraine only showed their side doing well against the ill-equipped Russian units and always excessive Russian death rates and old footage. Always running out of ammunition and missiles. So currently 300,000 - 400,000 troupes swarming in so they will have to spin new stories. Over years training versus a few months for Ukrainians. Just send more money and equipment but also volunteers.

Prominent Russian milbloggers have been increasingly presenting Ukrainian counteroffensive operations inaccurately as a series of failed Ukrainian assaults along the entire line of contact.[1] Russian milbloggers widely amplified footage on July 29 claiming that it showed a single Russian tank defeating an entire Ukrainian company with armored vehicles as if the event had occurred recently, but the footage is actually from June 7 and shows Russian artillery units striking the Ukrainian column.[2] Russian sources have previously recirculated old footage to support claims that Ukrainian forces are suffering significant armored vehicle losses, and the amplification of the footage on July 29 indicates that Russian sources are deliberately amplifying old footage to support the Kremlin narrative.
