Unsupported Russian Tankers Battle for Their Lives in Ukraine
Published 2 years ago
Insane footage recorded by a drone in Ukraine showcases a pair of unsupported Russian tanks battling for their lives against what appears to be several different Ukrainian weapon systems.
The worst thing about this video is that the context was entirely destroyed in translation. We don't know where this was recorded. We don't know what weapon systems were used. As a result, what we have is out-of-context video shows a pair of Russian tanks that are completely unsupported doing everything in their power to survive a situation that shouldn't have ever been placed in.
In the beginning, it appears that one of the tanks has hit a landmine. The second tank in the column maneuvers up to try and push him through. Then, there's a cut and we see the first tank off to the side of the road with the second tank moving towards its top speed trying to escape. Then the first tank is hit by what appears to be either an ATGM system or a recoilless rifle, it's impossible to tell from this angle. Following that, the lead tank also gets hit and the crew can be seen retreating on foot down the road.
While it's impossible to tell, the footage does bear a striking similarity to this video that was filmed in Donetsk. We're not able to independently verify that information however, so we'll leave that up to the comments section to discuss.
