Looks like they're telling people to aim molotovs at the driver and engine compartments of tanks. I don't know what they're indicating regarding the tracks, but given how they have the drive wheel circled, I'm guessing it's some idea for detracking the tank.
Solid advice, only outdated by about 80 years. Unless some asshole leaves a hatch open while driving slowly through the neighborhood, Molotov cocktails are going to be a mild inconvenience to a tank.

Blowing off the tracks is solid advice, but handing out high explosives to random gopniks doesn't sound like much of plan either...
 
You know, Russia really shouldn't be worried about NATO because it isn't like they're accomplishing anything. Same with the UN.
This whole situation is proving how incompetent they both are.

I'm actually predicting that the former Warsaw pact and Soviet states of NATO break off and form their own military pact.
 
Ah. *ahem*. Glowies, this is for historical purposes only.

Mods, if you have to take it down, sorry.
Lol that sort of info has been passed around online for longer than a lot of users on this site have probably been alive. It's not illegal to post just illegal to use, otherwise Id be typing this from a prison library.

The hope, I'm willing to bet, is that they are trying to soak the exhaust with burning jellied gasoline in hopes the tank will overheat, resulting in a mission kill. Theoretically, it can work. Practically, the tank is likely to shrug it off and douse you with a nice stream of machine gun fire.
THERMTE !!

The US has mounted two invasions literally across THE FUCKING WORLD in the last 20 years
  1. Iraqi no-fly zones conflict (1991-2003)
  2. Afghanistan (2001–2021)
  3. Iraq, Saddam etc (2003–2011)
  4. Operation Ocean Shield, i.e. Somali Pirates (2009–2016)
  5. Libya (2011)
  6. Operation Observant Compass, Kony in Uganda (2011-2017)
  7. Iraq again, ISIS etc (2014–2021)
  8. Syria (2014–present)
  9. Yemen (2014–present)
  10. Libya again (2015–2019)
  11. Persian Gulf crisis (2019-2021)
That is a lot more than two lol, and it is not even a comprehensive list. For example not counting glownigger-style regime change shit like the Arab Spring, or indeed the Euromaidan coup that sparked this whole Ukraine crisis.
 
Same as always. People screaming about jews, people screaming about NATO, people screaming about the lost treasure of the Biden family, and people screaming that orange man would for some reason have prevented this in their chosen reality.
He means on the ground you insufferable homosexual blyat.
 
Poland can't even get proper ammunition for their tanks and half their nation secretly sympathizes with Russia. They'll do slightly better than Ukraine but NATO will simply bitch and scream and that's it, so Poland is fucked.

The only time NATO might actually spring into action is if Germany gets attacked. Everything east of Germany is basically privately admitted to be rightful Russian clay.

EDIT: Also, Baltics are heavily reliant on trade with Russia. For example, when the US said "stop trading with Russia" recently, Lithuania complied...and their transport industry almost shut down because of it. Now Lithuania is in the awkward position of supposedly following US orders...while not really enforcing them.
There's no fucking way NATO would allow Poland to be attacked. The reason this bullshit even occurred was just to prevent Ukraine from joining NATO. If there were already in it, it wouldn't be happening.

Yes, I am sure the Ukrainians would be less motivated to fight after Putin vaporizes thousands of women and children.

Whats up with that plane?

Neither of the flights from the past couple of days has flown over Ukraine. That plot is a direct line route from Frankfurt to Delhi. Sometimes when the transponder receivers trip out, FlightAware etc. will revert to a straight line instead of the actual route which they are flying. The entirety of Ukrainian airspace is closed to commercial aircraft.

It's the daily mail. Their stance on Russia before any if this even happened is Putin is Hitler and we should conscript every millennial and send them to die fighting Russia. Of course they're going to speculate all sorts of "this is how Russia can be even more evil" nonsense.

No commercial pilot will risk a second MH7.

IIRC the WW2 tactic was to flood the intake with burning whatever which would stall the engine. Also, tanks of that era usually ran on petrol/gasoline so you had a shot at setting the carburetor on fire which would, at the very least, completely fuck up the fuel mixture.
