Shoigu reported a destroyed Leo 2, but apparently the video shows a combine harvester.  :lol:

Quote from: Sheilbh on June 07, 2023, 07:34:00 AMOf course I know nothing. But can't help but feel that nothing says "successfully repelling all attacks" like blowing up dams to flood the land and calls for the minister of defence to be executed.

And these are probes so far.  :hmm:

Russia is right to fear those...

Of course be careful of stories coming out of a war zone, but several anecdotes and video of flooded out Ukrainians on the left bank of the lower Dnipro (aka the Russian occupied side) being just left to fend for themselves, with no rescue or aid missions going on.

Serves them right, driving around in a weapon like that.  The Russians fear tractors.

How many heatsinks does a combine harvester have?

I don't think it generates heat.

I see.  It doesn't have a combine as an entire piece of machinery (or a mech), but rather lists it as a melee weapon which might be equipped on an AgroMech.

Saw this on Twitter:"Pro-Russian sources have reported a significant #Ukrainian attack in the Zaporizhzhya region, including ground attacks against a series of villages situated south and southwest of Orikhiv - such as Lobkove"



If true, I'd wager the Russians saw the preparations and decided to get their dam-busting plans in motion so their left flank could be emptied of troops safely to defend against this push.

That makes a lot of sense.And clearly the Russians care ZERO for the reputation hit from the devastation they caused.

Seems Russia is photoshopping destroyed Turkish Leo 2s into images of their destroyed tanks. :D

Current mutterings are it was just another small attack.

Russians be jumpy.
