"This BAD BOY right HERE will give you 12 mpg on a good day." - Salesman

I hope more and more Russian soldiers abandon this crazy war, they don’t want to kill Ukrainians! And they were misled about the mission…

Someone tell Lori Petty about a free tank.

Piece of trash probably broke down because it hasn't been serviced since the 80s. No worry, there's thousands more to abandon.

Can they call triple A???

Is this the Zambulance as well? It has Z on the side.

Oh shit. Free tank.

Siphon the fuel and set it on fire
MagicChickens
Burn it. Drop a Molotov on it
mindstorm8191
Target practice!
pfunk81
Might be plated in cadmium, don't want to burn that... better off taking over and using against enemy or burying.
MenloPart
There are several comments that there is a hole in it from the rear.
TheFutureIsDead
Maybe the Russian soldiers are giving the Ukrainian army free vehicles?

"no low ballers, i know what i have"
FuzzyX
If you want one then go to Ukraine to personally get one when then you only need a good truck to move it. Spoils of war.

If the post is still up it's available. I know what I got so no low ballers. No trades no gifts cards.

I'll give ya tree fiddy.
stoutde
Will you take 7$?
Fine but you gotta pick it up by end of day and transport.
Oh man but the ad said your deliver! Can I have a discount? For 20$, I'll haul it away for you!
Oh you wanna do that then? Okay sure tell you what: I'll pay you $50. Show up alone tho.

If I round up all the crackheads from Cleveland, they'd scrap the hell out of it and every piece of Russian equipment they can get to.

Not sure armored vehicles have catalytic converters
SolarRanger
To be fair… they do t need to know that.
Dasnekones
They will tear it apart just to be sure though
DiaryOfAFatKid
Could this be a booby trap? I would be highly suspicious of this
RetroSicotte
Not with something this expensive and valuable, no.
As others commented, a multi-million-dollar trap doesn't make sense in order to kill a couple of guys.
Nuttsy
Something's fucky with the fifth roadwheel. And also, the rear. It's probably just dead.
Trickky
They would destroy it beyond use before they'd booby trap it. Looks like it's just abandoned.
HereToKickAssAndChewGum
Anything interesting could be a trap and should be treated as one. My grandfather put pressure switches under the drivers seat.
3rdattemptaaaaaanditsgone
bosnizzle
"Yes let's abandon an entire tank so we can kill a couple guys. Capital idea!" I think that's how the conversation went.
Capital, capital!
YouWonTheGam3
Honestly curious, how is this bait?
PupDiogenes
The Russian army could have deliberately left it there and set explosive traps.
MapleSyrupMafia
Boobs and traps or something like that.
copingcabana
Either an ambush, an IED, or friendly fire when someone decides to make sure the tank is dead

LongCommentChainAppreciator
I have sooo many points on why an ambush isn't just unlikely, but a statistical impossibility.
And you're willing to bet your life that a sniper isn't hiding in those bushes or a helicopter isn't lurking nearby?
LadyCorwin
If there's a helicopter nearby, that's an anti-aircraft vehicle.
PerpetuityPhoto
At which point, they dust a several million dollar armored vehicle to kill what... a guy?
Mikeo421

Thanks for that. Worth the re-watch.
I didn't check , but then I kept thinking about your comment and kept thinking and thinking. Then I checked. Worth it

What's the ' Z ' for .......... ZORRO!!!
Bunghold
Also want to know, seen it in a few different places?
MouthyLurker
Russia uses a lot of similar equipment to Ukraine. Z is to identify unit as russian. Hope Ukraine uses that to bite them in the ass.
potatoardvarkhybrid
free tank

One previous owner. Low mileage
Detoc

*Free self propelled anti air
Elbowdeepinabeepbeepsheep
Free quad 30mm autocannons? Why yes, I think I will.
HeraldOfTheBadger
Free tank-ish
I will slap a bitch over the definition of a tank *angery*

if its real.. seems like had flat TYRE..idk
OnePieceRoboFranky
When the tank commander is an idiot for not putting fresh batteries in his siege mobile.
5knotcans
What's wrong with it?
Kappa043
Hit by something. Possibly an APFSDS tank round. There's a small hole on the upper left rear portion of the turret.
DukeDarkwood
For starters, it's in Ukraine. It's a Russian military vehicle, so it should not be there.
Cargobiker530
No obvious holes. I wonder what took it out. Drones?
Tarumbar
Old age
colweb29350
Russian engineering.
youcannotwin
It’s a trap
xtreampb
I wouldn’t trust it
the hole from anti armor weaponry can be remarkably small, think fist sized
azzabat
Possibly a Javelin. Javelins are Top Down munitions, ie strike from above. Fairly recently abandoned as mud still dripping of the tracks.
Spidey209
Ran out of gas and now it is a sitting duck. Abandon ship.
Almost as if you kinda need to have a supply line when you attack. But if it's the case, good. Dumb shit like this will cost them a lot.
ourari
They're just trying to find the nearby gas station.
KAPTKipper
Poor maintenance and age
ReginaKasteen
Crew ran out of vodka so they're out buying more.
Could be desertion, could be engine flameout, could be that it just broke down. Tanks don't last forever.
ThisGostakIsHereForTheDoshes
There is a pretty small hole in the rear that you can see right at the end. Top left corner. I wonder if that is from the shaped charge?
A HEAT warhead uses a shaped charge to project a narrow jet of liquidized metall. This makes just a small hole, but wrecks havoc inside.
Morlark
Wouldn't surprise me if it was just deserters. Apparently a lot of Russian soldiers are not keen on being at war with an innocent enemy.
CrazyCatLad
Just 'cause I'm super curious, have we pinpointed any credible sources of Russian deserters?
paintingagency
Innocent, cornered, and heavily armed. No thank you.
onlyhalfghost
innocent, cornered, heavily armed, *and reasonably likely to be people the Russian soldiers know*
terriblethunderlizards
Id like to guess a lack of maintenance took it out.
frankierizzo0351
Probably right, doubt they have recovery assets in as deep as they pushed so they're forced to abandon shit when it breaks.
Russia's historical nemesis: ethanol.
I like how my snow/leafblower understand that pain.
jrabbitmusic
so are Russian troops abandoning their posts? I hope so, hard to tell what’s what when it’s all happening in real time
these are the sacrificial pawns. If they were smart, they'd flip sides, and fight with the Ukrainians to overthrow Russia.
Cheomesh
Some are. This first wave seems to be largely screwbies. They've made real gains but their main purpose is to exhaust supplies.
flowofsilence
Russian army mostly consists of enlisted young boys that serve a mandatory 1 year.
Calaros
To be clear, this vehicle was shot with an anti tank weapon and disabled. You can see a small entry hole in its rear.
thank you for more information
6bender
like @Calaros's mom
boblives
Anyone know what the Z on the the Russian armour means, I've seen on a bunch of videos with Russian armoured vehicles
It's a recognition mark to prevent friendly fire - because much of Ukraine vehicles are actually the same model as Russia's
