Little know fact but the T-72 is actually one of the world’s most successful orbital launch vehicles. The turret makes an excellent reentry capsule.

It’s well-known Russian tank lethality increases 1000% when the turret launches, allowing the gunner a magnificent view of the enemy’s vulnerable top armor.

May be a rerun but cool to see. (Second video.)
That was my thought as well. I'm assuming the pilot dropped all his conventional ordinance and was using his magnesium flares to try and start fires in residential areas.
Or it was some sort of malfunction, but given RUs actions...I'm betting on the more sinister scenario.
And there it is...

Russia-Ukraine war: In Chinese media, the US is the villain
In tightly-controlled media space, conflict is an opportunity for Beijing to advance its ‘information proxy war’.
Looks like you are probably right - this is US forces using it in Iraq to illuminate an area though of course it is also used as a weapon.
What is white phosphorus, and what does it mean that Russia may be using it in Ukraine?
White phosphorus can ignite fast-burning fires and inflict extreme burns, making it particularly hazardous for civilians in war zones.

I'm surprised that Russia had less than 10k available. I wonder how many they've stolen from Russia to make up for their losses?
Not, I don't know that they would drop WP from planes. Definitely looks like the plane's missile defense. IIRC, a plane will deploy those and either the heat will draw a missile into them, causing detonation, or away from the jet... or the missile will just fly through them, causing detonation.
Not real familiar how those work though.
Can we give Russia back to Mongolia?
I feel this would solve a lot of issues.

Canada has offered to make up any shortage caused by sanctioning Russia and its associates.
I KNEW it!
Well, it looks like Ukraine is pissed off.

The video was verified by The Times, however, the outlet decided not to publish it due to its graphic nature. Per The Times it shows a Ukrainian soldier shooting a Russian soldier three times while another man says "he's still alive. Film these marauders. Look, he's still alive. He's gasping."
The video, The Times reported, also shows at least three other Russian soldiers dead near the victim — identified by white armbands commonly worn by Russian troops. One of the soldiers has an obvious head wound and his hands are tied behind his back, according to the report from The Times.
The soldiers are surrounded by equipment and are laying on the road near a BMD-2 — an infantry vehicle used by Russia's airborne units, according to military scholar Rob Lee.
In the video, which was not independently verified by Insider, Ukrainian soldiers are identifiable by their blue armbands and repeat "glory to Ukraine" but their unit is unclear. A Ukrainian news agency said the ambush was the work of the "Georgian Legion" a group of Georgian volunteers that formed in 2014 to fight for Ukraine, according to The Times report.
The video was filmed north of the village of Dmytrivka, about seven miles southwest of Bucha, according to the Times report. Earlier this week, graphic videos emerged of at least 300 civilians killed in Bucha during Russia's occupation of the city. Ukrainian officials say they were attacked as Russian troops were retreating.
Ukrainian forces ambushed Russian troops around March 30, according to the Times report. In a tweet, Ukraine's Defense Ministry said it was "precise work" by Ukrainian troops.

Do even Russians take Putin's athletic antics seriously? I would think his hockey skills would be a joke among anyone who watches the games.
And there are the silly claims of wrestling bears etc. It is as juvenile s the North Korean stuff. (Fearless leader played numerous perfect golf matches, etc.)
Yeah the hockey vids are priceless and consistent with what the judoku describes.
that said, I think I’ve seen that knucklehead author on the elevator at work. I mean really, this is what the paper of record has its staff spending time on?
Yes, can we just speak a bit about this ginormous piece of shit that claims to be a man of God and a church leader for the Russian Orthodox faith?
Is it wrong for me to wish a painful death upon such a waste of flesh and theological hypocrite? How exactly can the rest of the world impart pain and agony on this turd? I hope he burns in hell sooner rather than later. Make no mistake, his alliance with Putin and his army's war crimes make him also personally responsible for the horror being perpetrated in Ukraine. Burn in hell Kirill, and GFY!
I know it’s hard but I hope this was a one off, and they maintain moral high ground.
Shouldn't they have some form of infantry around those tanks?Some of the great responses in the thread -

The war is currently in the “no quarter given” phase…
Looking at it strictly from a military standpoint…this is counterproductive. Ukraine wants Russians to surrender…word about this gets out…they’re much less likely to surrender.
That said…after the atrocities the Russians have committed…it’s understandable.
Start with multiple bitch slaps to little Gaetz. Progress to nut shots. All administered by Ukrainian war widows.
Do we have any expectation that the Ukrainians will prosecute their own troops for war crimes?
They need every soldier they have at the moment so I’d say no…
I am not suggesting love taps, but rather kill shots.

He is what a Republican used to be. It's too bad he isn't running for re-election, but the cult will chase him, and anyone with personal convictions, out of the party.
