That road is very narrow. Any lack of driver precision and those MBTs would be stuck. Given the number of submerged Russian tanks we've seen, I wonder if this video demonstrates a generally higher level of proficiency among Ukrainian tank crews compared to their Russian counterparts?

First, kill Russians and celebrate later.

Russian wives defy military and threaten to storm border looking for husbands on the battlefield

I've heard of desperation but, husband hunting on a battle field?

Man, Ukrainians to the front and angry wives in the rear.

Finally, looks like the time has come.

T-34 repourposed for action.

True? IDK, I just know that Rusia is like that kind of people that you don't belive anything they say and they manage to lie to you.

I find it mildly amusing that they can get an 85 yr old T34 running but have hundreds of T72's in reserve that haven't moved an inch

Those wives might make an NKVD security division look like a bunch of pussycats.

It's only a matter of time before The Plane Which Shall Not Be Mentioned shows up ... complete with nose-armor.

I noticed that, the drivers are being very careful with their track-spinning.

It would also be a great place for an ambush if the Russians had the capability.

Russia has abandoned its hold on the key Ukrainian city of Kherson. Here's why it matters

The months-long Ukrainian offensive to recapture the city of Kherson, the only provincial capital that had been under Russian control since the early days of the invasion, leads to the retreat of Moscow's forces. Here's a look at what has been happening and why both sides want control of the city.

Betcha they grew up driving tractors in muddy fields, something the average Russian city kid conscript hasn't done.

Haven't they learned anything from the Russians.....keep your armour bunched up while moving, easier for fuelling up, meal service, mail call, last rites

So what does Ukraine and the AFU do now? The Russian expectation is that both sides will now sit tight whilst the wet and cold of autumn and winter set in, with each side settling for artillery exchanges while they reinforce, resupply and regroup, until restarting offensive ops in spring 2023. But does this play more to Russia's advantage? By spring 2023 the southern bank of the Dnieper will be heavily defended.

A possible autumn/winter move for the AFU is to repeat the Sept 2022 feint, where the Russians were led to believe that the Ukrainians were focused on a Kherson offensive, leading Moscow to deploy much of their forces to the Kherson region. As we saw, this thus allowed the Ukrainians to successfully launch their intended offensive in the Kharkiv region. But to repeat this now in autumn/winter will require the AFU to rely on modern roads.

So, what does Ukraine do now?
