Tanks have become an identity for Roman Batsenko, known as Lion in Ukraine's Iron Brigade.
Ukraine has been waiting for better, safer tanks from NATO, but for now, Batsenko is heading back to the battlefield, trusting his gear to get them through. #Ukraine #ScrippsNews

If they would ask me to be a sidekick in that repair shop, I'd do it. Keep the fire roaring, get rid of broken parts, keep the shop tidy, get coffee ready, learn basic Ukrainian (the names of the tools as a minimum) and be out of their way if I'm not needed.

@infectedvector Год назад

I was just thinking that very same thing! If I was single and a bit younger, I'd be there doing just that: helping around the shop, cooking meals for the mechanics and soldiers, cleaning up, getting oil and dirt under my fingernails.

The biggest heroes of the war are the Ukranian Logistic and service teams. They are tasked of managing countless of different systems and pvoding parts , ammo , propelant and maintance for all of them. Like the SPGs for example - yes most of the Western stuf use the standard 155 Nato rounds but all of them use different propelant and if you use the wrong one , you will worn out the barrel. Also the USSR equipment , they are scrounging every possible source to grab parts.

Man Lion is an absolute hardass. He's not going to upgrade? That seems crazy to me. I understand he must be sentimental about his tank but wouldn't it be better to get a tank that wasn't built in 70s. One that doesn't store ammo in the seats you sit on basically.

Unfortunately, it is far too late for this warning. Not only that you can locate the hall based on the incidence of light, the huge oven for heating the hall has long since revealed its location itself. Then the chain tracks that clearly say, Hello, here we are! Then the faces were shown. Then the panorama with the camera in the hall, which structural features it has and the approximate size. Then the truck with the auxiliary crane, a "ZIL 131", so keep an eye out for this model. Then there's the BAT 2M engineer tank, based on the T-64, it really couldn't be more conspicuous.

Unfortunately the Abrams will not arrive for almost a year because the DoD has decided to build all new tanks for Ukraine rather than taking the 31 tanks from our 3450 mothballed tanks, screwing both taxpayers and Ukraine who needs those tanks NOW, my guess is someone is getting a kickback $ on that scam. As for the T-62 you would be safer in a Subaru, only slightly less armored than the T-62 but much faster.
