Yeah, well, you try coming up with a clever headline for this…
Reportedly the armor on this T-72 was badly trashed after whacking into a light pole. Which does not seem to be a good advertisement for the T-72, honestly. Note also that the tank commander nearly got his noggin lopped off by the power lines.
Whoopsie.
Pretty sure someone’s gonna catch some hell – both from the base commander and from everyone back at the barracks – for this little screwup. There was a time when someone could make an embarrassing blunder in an eastern European totalitarian Soviet dictatorship and have a hope of covering it up… but now, the T-72 got swarmed with millenials taking cell phone snapshots. Heh.
