The Russkie troll's grasp of English is pretty poor.
This might be a little tougher than Putin thought...

"The ZU-23 is a beast of a gun. The ZU-23 is a twin-barreled 23 millimeter anti-aircraft gun originally designed in the late 1950s in the Soviet Union for use against low-flying aircraft. It can also be pointed away from the sky and towards the land, against infantry and unarmored or lightly armored targets.
With its combined trailer and mount, it weighs over 2,000 pounds. Despite the high curb weight, the ZU-23 is surprisingly nimble. The trailer doubles as a firing mount, and the wheels can be folded outward for firing in less than one minute.
Despite the rapidity with which the ZU-23 can be deployed, it is somewhat limited by its rate of fire. Both barrels shoot the powerful 23x152 millimeter round, but rapidly heat up during extended firing. Although ZU-23s are equipped with several extra barrels that can be switched out, the overall rate of fire is hampered by the barrel exchange process."

At first I thought "they need larger bombs" 
I can't tell if the guy is tossing water on the fire or trying to feed it.

Still waiting on your solution to end the conflict (that doesn't involve a time machine).
How do you stop China from building thousands of these and parking them around Taiwan?
There has been a HUGE leap in the power of denial, on land and sea. We've been seeing it on land for over a year in Ukraine, and we're getting our eyes opened to it in the Bab el-Mandeb.
There’s nothing conventional about the modern US Navy. It has capabilities that no other Navy on earth has.
"In this video, recorded by a Russian soldier, a Russian BTR-82A IFV fires at a residential area. In the background you can see a burned Russian tank."
Hope this is true-that is a lot of tanks. These are a version of the Soviet T72.

What do they have to contend with submersible drones?
We’re entering a time where the sea mine will activate and chase the target.
Our methods for resolving submarine threats are to find them as far from their targets as possible and prosecute.
If the Chinese manufacturer thousands of submersible drones to blockade Taiwan, that’s not easily dismissed. It’s 100 miles from China to Taiwan, it’s over 5000 miles from Hawaii to Taiwan.
After the apparent fake story about Ukraine shooting down the POW cargo plane, I fully expect Putin to shoot down a Russian commercial airline jet and blame Ukraine.
FWIW
