That's a Russian tank hit by a Ukrainian missile near Mariupol back in May.
Russia prepares to annex occupied Ukraine regions despite international outcry
Moscow looks set to take control of occupied areas in eastern and southern Ukraine after local referendums on joining Russia condemned by Kyiv and the West as a sham.

Agreed. If anything, having the pipeline cut goes against US interests as it will result in more pressure on the Europeans come winter with calls (especially from the likes of the far right - see Italy now) to stop supporting Ukraine so as to come to some sort of deal with Russia.

I know. The same tank type operated by Ukrainians. ATGMs don't care whose flag is on the tank.

I seriously doubt any tank in existence will survive a direct top-down missile strike.

You have to give the Russians credits, its far more efficient giving their troops the last rites before they are employed to the front.

How old is that guy on the front rank, immediately to the left of the priest's elbow? He looks about 70....and not exactly in fighting trim!

IDK. Isn't the Merkava's Trophy system now being deployed on Abrams designed against this specific threat?
TROPHY Active Protection System for Armored Vehicles | Leonardo DRS
By proactively detecting, locating, and (if necessary) neutralizing anti-armor threats, TROPHY™ dramatically increases platform survivability, and creates a new paradigm of networked threat awareness for maneuver forces.

And let's remember the advice given the Russian troops by a Ukrainian woman back in February:
Put sunflower seeds in their pockets so flowers will grow where they died.

Perhaps that explains a lot
Sounds like something in Vladolf Putlers best interest.

Woah! that is amazing.
"I don't want to be cannon fodder, send the street musicians and the art students", lol
or ...
"There are millions of ethnic minorities that can go in my place"
Priceless, anyone saying anything like that in any western TV will be fired immediately.

It says something that we thought it was apt. But yeah, I apologize for spreading misinformation - it's something we should all avoid.
Its about ensuring that Germany can't turn around and cut a deal with Russia. So far Germany has been the weakest link against Russia, barely contributing money to Ukraine and dragging their feet on giving weapons.
A few days ago Russia said this;
""The bottom line is, if you have an urge, if it's so hard for you, just lift the sanctions on Nord Stream 2, which is 55 billion cubic meters of gas per year, just push the button and everything will get going," Putin said."
Putin tells Europe: if you want gas, open Nord Stream 2
STORY: Speaking to reporters after the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit in Uzbekistan, Putin blamed what he called "the green agenda" for the energy crisis and insisted that Russia would fulfill its energy obligations."The bottom line is, if you have an urge, if it's so hard for you...
And there has been an increasing number of protest in Germany over gas prices/imports. But now Germany doesn't have a choice, any possibility of receiving gas through Nordstream 1 or 2 is gone.
