This is Igor.
Every morning Igor goes for a stroll through the nearby forest.
Today, Igor found a Russian Army 9K330 Tor SAM system abandoned in the forest.
Now Igor owns a $20 million SAM system.
Congratulations Igor.
This is merely a joke as I am sure Igor would have preferred no Russian invasion at all. He's simply making the best of a bad hand he's been dealt in life.

(17,536 posts)I wonder what it brings as scrap metal? The Ukrainians that "capture" these vehicles really need to keep and incendiary device close at hand, just in case. The Russians shouldn't be able to get them back by capturing them or in some kind of negotiated peace deal. If the Ukrainian people can't put these captures to immediate use, they should be permanently disabled and fire is the method. When they are gone, they are gone.
The Russian policy in WWII, dealing with disabled armor, is that, regardless of all other conditions, that if a tank or similar vehicle had been disabled the crew had to stay with it, under penalty of death, unless it had burned out. So, if you were out of gas, the cannon was blown off, the track was broken and all but one crew member killed, he had to stay to "protect" the disabled vehicle. I guess it is not the same army.
