Vladimir Putin has deployed his most bizarre "turtle tanks" yet as the tyrant lost nearly all his modern military equipment since the start of the war. The Soviet-era relics were seen underneath steel plates and chain fringes as they hit the battlefield in Donetsk Oblast, Ukraine, on Tuesday.

The British newspapers have really outdone themselves with obvious, not credible propaganda over the past two years. Yellow journalism at its finest.

I know, weird. Its common for soldiers to improvise a piece of equip to better deal with battlefield conditions and the “turtle” has apparently been quite effective against Uke’s PoV drones. But it’s “bizarre”.

Been developing for 2 months or more. The fare no better than un-turtled tanks against drones.

“tyrant lost nearly all his modern military equipment since the start of the war”
This is phonier than the 2020 election.

To the contrary, the russkies are pumping out far more brand new equip that all of NATO combined, and apparently have enough resources to develop and deploy a brand new non-nuke strategic missile. But yeah, they already “lost” all of their best stuff. Which is why it’s totally cool to send in NATO troops since the russkies only have shovels left.

I guess YouCrayne hasn’t lost any solders or equipment since the War started.
Their solders and equipment are immune to dying. LOL.

You’re not there, neither am I, and Uke censors all war info.
I’m going on third party evidence incl. video from both sides. You? Or are you just contrarian despite the evidence?

I am surprised the at they didn't have the title read "Putin Deploys controversial Turtle Tanks’ as Soviet-Era Armour Hits Battlefield Shielded by Steel Shed & Chain Fringe"
Whenever I see the word "controversial" in an article I know a leftist wrote it.

Regardless of propaganda in the Russo-Ukraine war, relatively cheap drones have changed the battle field both on land and sea.
I hope our military is prepared to deal with this.

Er, wouldn’t ukraine have 1/4 of RUSSIA instead of the other way around if every article I see in western media is true?
Who’s writing the articles, that moron marcus? Maybe he’s making a great living writing articles away from FR :)
Actually, from the 1000s of articles posted on sites the past year in the west, you’d think ukraine has 99 percent of Russia and not 1/10 of 1 percent, which they do now.
I’m sick of it.
And sick of them.

I don’t have any skin in the game, not a big fan of Ukraine nor Russia. Fully aware that both sides exaggerate the wins and loses. Missiles need chips and Russia doesn’t make them very well. So i don’t see a whole bunch of new missiles being made. It is just like the high tech jets. they can’t make a lot of them.
