but it has been reported that they did all bring their dress uniforms for the glorious parade past the Maidan.

Once the magnitude of this miscalculation dawns on them, the Kremlin will whack Putin and hope no one realizes their own role in it.

in a urban setting... tanks are sitting ducks.

Once you kill the lead tank and the last tank with your more expensive Javelins... then simply toss a few hundred molotov cocktails under the rest of the column.. no need to blow up the tanks... the heat will eventually make the tank driver and gunner (and loader if older tank) out of the tank... where you can just shoot them.

No more Russian tank column.

Tanks work well in open fields where they can maneuver (often at high speeds now), use their machine guns and provide covering fire for each other.

Tank columns in a city are only tough looking during a Dictator Parade (like Trump wanted).

OK so we will take the high ground or air and blow the shit out of you one at a time.
See how the tanks stay on the roads and don't go to the fields. The fields are all mud. Who is the idiot that planned this.
invasion. We have overestimated the russian military for a long time. It is a paper dragon.
