A Russian TOS-1A Solntsepyok (Scorching Sunlight) heavy flamethrower system goes up in a massive fireball.

When I say massive, I mean it takes out half a friggin’ block.

Fifty five tanks? As in 50 plus 5? In one day?

Holy effing manure! (I’m trying to be family friendly here, but it’s hard.)

If you’re in command of this cluster f*ck, how do you lose 55 tanks in one day and not end up accidentally falling out of a 20th-floor window?

Clearly the losses of armored vehicles by Russia this month have been massive.

Partisans continue to strike behind Russian lines.

It’s been a banner day for armored vehicles blowing up with lots of ammo on board.

This is just sad. These guys don’t belong within 1,000 km of the front. They’ll probably end up dead after being pushed into a suicidal frontal assault somewhere.

I look forward to seeing videos of these Iranian anti-drone radars being blown up by Ukrainian drones.

I hope Rybar is correct, but I wouldn’t bet the mortgage on it. Taking Poima would be quite a stretch. I guess we’ll see if tomorrow Rybar claims Russia has retaken Poima in a glorious victory.
