100 Polish T-72 tanks, stored in Lublin strangely showed up in Ukrainian army hands.

Rain Down on that Genocidal POS

2. *wink wink*

Now they need to park their MiGs on the border...

[mitch96]

10. +1! A few SU-27 would be nice too...nt

[Native]

3. Happy Hunting indeed!

[Walleye]

4. Careless of them to leave the keys in the ignition

[riversedge]

6. a bit of help from the heavens???

[Torchlight]

7. Sounds like Ukraine recently scored two or three regiments worth of armor

Fingers crossed they get in a few good shots.

[gab13by13]

8. They need 400 more.

[ColinC]

9. "any army surplus store"

Gotta remember to get my t72 and Abrams from my local surplus store.

[EndlessWire]

25. We have one in town, too.

I'll make an inquiry. Never occurred to me to mail them one.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

30. ....

Not your local surplus store.....but you can buy one if you have the money.

[Deminpenn]

32. Wouldn't surprise me that some are coming from the arms market

or that US might be the buyer or that US funds are being used by Ukraine to buy equipment there.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

33. It wouldn't surprise me either. nt

11. Is it true that Penn&Teller and David Copperfield were involved? (They are Master

Illusionists.) If true, how about moving some aircraft too!

[Totally Tunsie]

12. Oops...how did that happen?

[wnylib]

14. Imagine that. Self driving tanks just up and left.

[CaptainTruth]

15. Yep, a lot of this sort of thing is happening. And I'm glad.

Many of the public discussions we hear about, about NATO countries debating whether to send/not-send certain weapons are purely designed to 1) test Russian reactions & 2) distract from what is actually happening behind the scenes.

[NCjack]

16. The Poles have not yet evened the score for the Russian sabotage

of airplane that killed the Polish government leaders.

17. Oh yeah!!!

Dziekuje bardzo Polska!!!! And Slava Ukraini!!

Go get that butcher!!!!

[nycbos]

18. I hope we back fillied.

[lagomorph777]

27. No, but maybe a bunch of Abrams will disappear from the depot...

[nycbos]

29. And by sheer coincidence...

... cargo planes land at a Polish millitary base with the tanks that "disappeared."

We did backfill Slovakia's air defense system with a patriot battery when they sent their S-300 to Ukraine.

[Igel]

19. Ooh. New word. "Czołg."

Se to mi libi.

Me likes. Day hasn't been a total waste.

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/czo%C5%82ga%C4%87#Polish

But *čъlgati strikes me as some Polish Slavist's goal to have published *something* by age 30, albeit a 10-line squib about the reconstruction of a Polish word based entirely on, um, Polish.

Yeah, and given that degree if liberty I can reconstruct Proto-Germanic for "twerk". Maybe even PIE, and then say it was a borrowing from the languages spoken in Europe and build a theory about sex rites ...


Still, "czołg" is a useful, even if unexpected, polskie word.

[Strelnikov_]

20. They just fell off a truck n/t

[Baitball Blogger]

21. Now, how did that happen?

LOL!

[liberalla]

22. Happy hunting Ukraine!

[BootinUp]

23. This can probably be investigated after Putin gets his ass kicked out of Ukraine. nt

[pecosbob]

24. "It this damned GPS thingamjiggy.

[niyad]

26. Thank you. I was beginning to wonder where mine had wandered off to.

Never got around to installing onstar.

[essaynnc]

28. I wonder what the US military has "lost" recently???

We have lots of extra equipment laying around the Europe and the middle east...

[MineralMan]

31. Ukrainian farmers stole them and hauled them off with tractors.

[Beetwasher.]

34. Dey's Fell Off Da Back of A Truck
