Russians abandon an entire column of GAZ Tigrs loaded with tons of equipment, rockets, weapons and ammunition. This is their modern stuff, not cold war era crap anymore.

I hope I had a trusty source of news to know what the fuck is really going on.

Some of the loot.
They were spetsnaz.
How do we know these aren't Russians? I hear they are using Ukrainian uniforms now.
And honestly, doesn't most of this video's look a bit too clean? No body's, a whole "column" consisting of 2 trucks...
HAHAHAHAHAH
Why would the Russians pillage their own stuff?
Does it look like pillaging though?
Yes, totally.
I never understood leaving tons of equipment and vehicles behind. Why not at least have a plan to destroy it if it gets to that point? Hell why not booby trap it for when theyre unloading equipment or youve got 10 dudes standing around off guard filming it?
Boom, there it is.
Russians have lost their right to make fun of the Romanian performance at Stalingrad.
Gotta keep the war going and stir up more shit for the future, just like we did in Afghanistan.
>Be Russian standing around near truck
>Die or retreat because arty is coming
>Oh shit a tank retreat more since we left all our AT in the position we just bailed from
>Some coomer on an anime website: Why didn't you guys blow it up first dude?
Many reasons why. Same for ukr troops.
yet they advance nonetheless.
Time. You're being shot at, from different, unknown directions, and have no idea whether 10 hohols will suddely show up around the corner to surround you. Do you really want to be setting up a motherboard with a sensor to blow when someone touches it? Who might be a civilian checking it out later? Or filming you doing this so that you become a war criminal later? The Russians aren't running an insurgency here. They were expecting to be in charge of Ukraine by now, planning the victory parade.
No, you don't have time for that useless shit that will have no effect on the campaign. If you don't get the air, armor and arty support you were told you'd be getting by now, you drop your heavy shit and run.
From the reports, they were ambushed. The first vehicle was destroyed with a rocket, and the remaining spetsnaz decided to use the buildings as cover.
This. Plus that all implies that they have plastic explosive to rig in the first place. Russia is mostly trying hit and run tactics also trying to do cut offs but they sometimes run into a fuck ton of ukranians. So they gotta scoot and try to regroup with another column or group
Fair enough. Youd just think thered be a plan in place so youre not just handing the enemy shiny new equipment to use against you.
Looks like the Z is the militia from the Dombass region
True. There will be a lot of explaining to do after this. At least no more redditors fawning over WW2 Russkis.
>no proof
Kek
because they're russians? they were selling the gasoline from their tanks right before the invasion.
they are booby traps - set to explode upon use or in a particular amount of time. source: (military)
Just like you did in Afganistan?
