    The Russians searched for a long time and finally found the American Abrams tanks. The Americans do not allow Ukrainians to use them in combat. But the Russians found them anyway. One was immediately destroyed and the other escaped

    Now Instagram is blocking the video of the destruction of American Abrams. It refers to the protection of the company's image and business reputation.

    Just a first?

    This is bad news for Mafiosi....considering Konashenkov claims that all Abrams have been destroyed...same as Leo's, 200 HIMARS systems, 300 Bradley's, 250 Patriots, 150 Gepards and Marders, ..and about 2000 coupons for McDonald's Big Mac meals were seized?


    One Abrams....tragic??:grin::-D

    They are tough, but not invincible. We had to destroy one in Iraq with C4 after it's tracks got blown off and it got stuck. We didn't want anyone else to get ahold of it, so we shot it with another Abrams, which didn't do anything to it. So we rigged it on the inside with twice as much C4 as it probably should have needed just to be sure.

    Oh, yes. Before they didn't take part in battles. We could not understand why you gave Abrams to Ukrainians.

    Always got to be careful with all the drones around. The Horde is still losing many times of the men and vehicles that Ukraine is losing, however.

    Well...if the orcs want the Abrams to take part in battles...that can be arranged....careful what you wish for though.

    So looks like Gripens will be sent to Ukraine when Sweden joins NATO....will there be any Mafiosi AF left by the time Gripens and F16s arrive?...LOL.

    "We will do whatever it takes to ensure that Russia cannot win this war"

    Got to like that. I wish we'd just send in troops and lots of our best hardware now and give the orcs a lesson in modern warfare. If that's what it will take, let's get to it.

    Biden sent those tanks to Ukraine without the reactive armor. Still a superior tank, though.

    If they're fought correctly the lack of reactive armor won't matter because they'll waste everything they go up against.

    Trustworthy sources that rely on visually confirmed kills.

    Lmao you can count us out. We'd rather Putin occupied Britain before we jump in the meat grinder.

    iDont see any difference to being ruled by the right wing Tory or labour government than to being ruled by Russia but at least I'll live to see it.

    The Abrams have not appeared at the front at all so far. 30 tanks were sent and they have been hiding in the rear until now. As soon as one tank was within range, it was immediately shot down.

    And no one understands why the Ukrainians sent one tank to the front line. He had neither infantry support nor air support. Even no offensive took place in this area.

    And a bonus of 10 million rubles was announced for the destruction of the Abrams tank. I think the real hunt for him has begun there.

    There was even a joke on the Internet on this topic:

    "There was a terrible hubbub on the air:
    - This is mine, MINE, I still have to pay the mortgage!
    - What does meters have to do with it? My mother-in-law is sick!!
    - Comrades, let's be honest about pirate law - whoever lights it will get 50%, those who saw it in the sight will honestly share the remaining 50%...
    - While you are dividing the baseball cap of an unkilled pindos here - he will crawl away ...
    - Oh, "Abrams"! - I'm shooting!
    - And who are you here anyway? You weren't standing here - you have a position of 40 km per LB!! - I'm sorry to stand in line while you're arguing, my batteries are already running out!
    - Shoo away! Here the grandfather with his RPG has already scored the first shot! You'll be the tenth!
    - Girl, hide the grenade - this is not a "Tiger" for you, you will break his roof!
    - And, f***, who hit him? Without warning? What are you, off the chain - there will be porridge there - you won't understand later who got behind whom! **** you - you'll be left without money at all! Prepare Iskander for action...

    ...interception of radio conversations at the time of Abrams' defeat.(c)"
    :lol:

    I can’t believe you would advocate for that. How do you and @Wild Bill Kelsoe believe things would be better under Russian control? They allow Snowden to live there maybe they’ll take you too?

    I never said it would be better under Russian control.

    I'm all for European troops going to Ukraine to kill Russians. U.S. troops can provide support for that effort.

    What I don't want to see, is U.S. troops in the thick of the fight.

    If France wants to send troops to the TO, then they should go right ahead. Maybe they can win one for a change.

    I don't know. Maybe because your Abrams was destroyed faster than any old Russian tank?
