Ukraine / Russia Thread

So the plan was to hope the tank got close enough to where when they hit it the explosion would take the Ukrainian soldiers with it?

Seems VERY far fetched. And more than a little desperate.

That was apparently the plan. I mean in theory it could carry a few tons of explosives. And I suppose if you've actually got no crews and no other use for the older vehicles you could set it on course against hardened bunkers. It simply becomes a very slow V1-L (L for land)

"On 4 July, at 17:00, a 7-Series BMW and a Land Cruiser with security guards accompanying it drove up to the building of the Federal Security Service Department of St Petersburg and [Leningrad] Oblast on Liteyny Prospekt.

According to Fontanka, the motorcade was parked near Shpalernaya Street, 25. The back door of the BMW opened, Yevgeny Prigozhin got out and, after walking just a few metres, opened the massive doors with the sign ‘Reception’ to the right of them.

One commentator suggested he was asked to stage the mutiny to see which generals would join him?!?!
