(NSFW) Lone Ukrainian Tank Engages Russian Armored Column
Published 2 years ago
Insane drone footage coming out of Ukraine shows a lone Ukrainian tank with infantry support ambushing an armored column of Russian troops. The chaos in this footage is pure insanity.
There's a lot to unpack here, and there are several cuts in the footage that make this a bit difficult to decipher. What we're looking at is a lone Ukrainian T-72 supported by unseen Ukrainian infantry conducting an ambush against a Russian armored column also supported by infantry. The Russian vehicles are primarily made up of infantry fighting vehicles, most likely the BTR-82A, and they're supported by ground troops who are trailing them from the rear.
The positioning of the Ukrainian armor is impeccable in this situation. They've placed themselves in a manner that gives them open shots on the infantry fighting vehicles without revealing their position until the flank of the IFV is clearly shown. This gives the tank crew an opportunity to disable or destroy any vehicle that could potentially return accurate fire on their positions. Where things get murky however are the cuts the drone crew made.
Those cuts could contain the destruction of their tank, or it could contain sensitive tactics that the Ukrainians are using to conduct these ambushes. Most likely, the cut footage just contains the tank retreating to a fresh position to re-engage the Russian forces and the camera crew didn't think it was important information, however it does add in questions that a lot of people are going to ask questions about.
Footage like this you can watch over and over again. Every time you watch it, you'll see something new that you didn't see the first time you saw it. That said, I'm going to open it up to the comments section. Leave some timestamps for things you're catching that no one else has.
