T-80's just sitting on the road abandoned. Where are their crews? Looking for a service station? What a bizarre way to run a war. The Russian military is a bad joke. It's a mob with matching uniforms.

Rusted, broken down piece of junk. No money for maintenance as it was all skimmed off the top. No wonder Russian army morale is low.

It looks like the T80’s for the most part weren’t produced after the fall of the USSR. At least that’s my quick read.

The Iraqis figured that out really fast.

The UKR resistance must have thousands of shells by now from all the captured vehicles
