can't tell the difference when it is vaporized by the AFU anyway 👍

Does it come with Classis Car license plates?

oldsoldier999.bsky.social•19 days ago

Yeah, I was imagining that thing on the line at next month's Barrett-Jackson. "Reserve not met."

silviovannini.bsky.social•20 days ago

This is a crime
Such oldtimers must be preserved in a museum!!!😡

ramalina.bsky.social•20 days ago

They probably have thousands in storage. 🙄

Going great Russia

Even less choice for May 9th ‘parade’ now. Donkeys maybe?

chillydawgg.bsky.social•19 days ago

Must be out of Chinese golf carts

GAZ-69? Nice.

"Sending to the front"? I'll assume they're going via parcel post — since there's NO way they arrive on their own.

Kidding aside, a GAZ-69 has much more in common with a 1919 Ford Model T than any modern military vehicle.

Putin must be "Making Russia Great Again". Clearly, this is where Trump gets his ideas from. 🙄

Did they run out of donkeys?

citrineglitter.bsky.social•18 days ago

Looks like that one was first off the assembly line, too. What barn did they pull that thing out of?

The caretaker from the war museum will be out of a job soon

babusha.bsky.social•19 days ago

My God, soon russia will start sending the grandpas and grandmas too. It is easier to find parts for us.

Why not, utilize old crap while saving expensive machines.

Fuel efficiency was very bad back in those times. This will reduce the logistics efficiency.

paull-t.bsky.social•20 days ago

Only if they start....👍

herr-elle.bsky.social•20 days ago

yeah, I forgot to mention maintenance is also a drag on logistics. You're right to point this out.

foreversideways.bsky.social•20 days ago

Probably getting them ready for Putin’s drive into Europe.

Is it a tank? 😅

Their Soviet stockpiles must be mostly scrap by now. If not for North Korea they'd be screwed

chowderman.bsky.social•20 days ago

North Korea and Donald Trump are all that keep Russia going.

ramalina.bsky.social•20 days ago

And IRGC military rulers of Iran (ayatollahs have little real power).

joris-docx.bsky.social•20 days ago

Crappy cope cage and open doors. Exceptional conceptual thinking.

Putin Stated in 2022 .... " We will Demilitarise Ukraine " 😀

giving the old boy an early retirement and guarantees that it will go out with a bang

hrobak67.bsky.social•20 days ago

Make no mistake, 🇷🇺 is unsustainably running out of key military & financial resources!

Time is not working in favor of 🇷🇺, unless 🇺🇦's European allies fail to act as required - it's not about lack of Western capabilities but a matter of political will!

christiandenmark.bsky.social•19 days ago

Nice armor.

clement-saget.bsky.social•18 days ago

We must push 🇷🇺 over the edge !!

#RussiaIsATerroristState committing a full-scale genocide in plain sight.
It is our duty towards Humanity to help 🇺🇦 win the war.
Whatever victory takes, right now 🔥
