This is so awesome. A journalist asks the civilian-clothed Ukrainian crew member in the turret of the captured Russian:
Q: Are you infantry?
A: Mobilized.
Q: Have you served in tank unit before?
A: No.
Q: How do you even know how to start a tank?
A: Internet... Google.

That's like a robber on the street pulling a gun, the victim then snatches the gun away ( "Gimme that, you asshole!" ), who then proceeds to beat the robber over the head with his own gun.

in the video was 'google'... heh heh!
I wish these people success, health, security and more success in their search for peace and ultimate victory from Putin/Russia.
Slava Ukraine!

It's like Microsoft Flight Simulator for aircraft or N3V's (formerly Auran of Austrailia) Trainz for trains.

the different combat stations. I've only played WWII sims and they have all that for all kinds of old machines. I know how to operate the Norden bomb sight because of that. I could probably put bombs on target if someone finds me a working B-25.
