The video shows Russian soldiers driving their T-72 tank straight into a pond before a Ukrainian shell explodes behind them. The Sun on Youtube: youtu.be/gVrCg2TicWs |

Good evidence that the accuracy of Ukrainian artillery is spooking them.
Either that or the driver had a medical episode… |

Grainy video but it looks like there was vegetation between the tank and the pond. They probably didn't see the water until it was too late to avoid it. |

The new ruzzian flagship, a submersible T-72 variant, hitherto completely unknown to Western intelligence and military reconnaissance, probably hides one of the new super weapons of greater ruzzia, the Nuclear Doomsday Nuclear Tsunami Nuclear Torpedo.
They wanted to name it PUTIN, but there can only be one.
And that one is already sunken there. |

It looks like a line of shrubs on the shore of the pond. Driver probably didn't see the water. One of the hazards of going off-road. |

Where's the Russian Moses when you really need him? TVAG …Oh. And what's the chance 80 years from now, some locals will find that tank and tow it up on the bank for restoration? Some hobbies just never die…. |

The tank commander was shouting, "Drive! Drive" but the tank's driver heard, "Dive! Dive!" |
