BTR Ignores RPG, Goes YOLO South of Robotyne
Published 11 months ago
A Russian mechanized assault is repelled near Robotyne. The effort is rather anemic, just a couple of BTRs trundling along a dirt road in the open. The rear vehicle survives a near miss from IDF and the two vehicles continue. The two vehicles round a curve and then stop and wait patiently for the lead vehicle to be shot with an RPG. The blast is impressive, but the vehicle shrugs off the hit and continues on. The second vehicle messes about for a few seconds, reevaluate his life choices, and then turns around and heads back where he came from, only to have an artillery shell land in his path. The lead vehicle continues on through an open field, apparently unphased by events.
