Was this before or after they ate the 80 year old rations in the tank?
Well, the 80 years old Russian driver had to eat something.
It was history, now it is history.
Imagine the poor bastards that had to find it, repair it, logistics to get it to Ukraine. Weeks of work. Then some 25 year old griping as he starts his shift, puts on his headset, goes to his sector, "wtf the orcs are doing necromancy now?" Takes a hit of his vape, direct hit. Just documents: old AF tank, sector FD.178.
It's not the point, and I'm glad of any weapons denied to the invader... but a small part of me is sad every time a historic item like this is destroyed.
Horses do work well. A slow, heavy and load old tank is a death trap.
For the crew, however unlike a horse, it still carries a big gun.
That's silly, it doesn't even have any arms. What is it supposed to do with a big gun? Is it just to taunt the tank, 'look what I've got that you can't use', or is it trying to perform a pep talk, 'I don't need arms, and neither do you! if they blow your arms off, just keep charging until you faint and die! VODKA!' bellows of cheering men
Have the drone blueprints been leaked on the War Thunder forums yet?

Rules:
-
No sympathy with the enemy or its collaborators. Russian and North Korean soldiers are fascists committing a genocide. Remember that.
-
Objective and factual reporting from the battlefield, parliaments, etc. is encouraged, even if it's about bad news for Ukraine.
-
Insulting Putin and his cronies (Orban, Trump, Musk,...) is absolutely fine but don't use homophobic or similar language against them. Members of the queer community don't deserve to be compared to that scum. Also: Putin disciminates against gay people. If you do as well, you're part of the problem.
-
Don't insult or use overly harsh language against other commentators.
-
Don't submit direct links to Twitter/X and Truth Social posts. You may: Post a screenshot + quote, do a full quote and name the author, direct link to a proxy service like ThreadReaderApp.com or Nitter, deep link an image embedded in a tweet because Lemmy will cache a copy.

Don't just complain about paywalls. If you encounter one, be a sport and link to an archived version instead. Use Firefox + Cookie AutoDelete + uBlock Origin with the annoyances filters enabled and https://filterlists.com/lists/bypass-paywalls-clean-filter to avoid encountering many in the first place.
