Looks to be based on the British funny tanks used in DDay. Simple but very effective.

I read up on ‘flail tanks’ on wiki, very interesting… if you like that sort of thing!

1st use was on British Matilda’s in North Africa.

My Dad used to drive an armoured D9 Cat, that the British Army used for clearing mines in the 50s. Just ploughed them up with the front blade!!. Must have been a bit nerve racking.

Cossacks are moving towards Staromlinovka. Liberation of the south continues

They are just outside Zavitne Bazhannya,about 3km North of Staromlynivka,which puts them about 11km from the main Russian defence line I mentioned yesterday.
There is a lot of equipment on the move....Strykers...Bradley's...M55s MBTs...Marder...Leopards and Challengers.
That defence line be shitting themselves right about now.
Imagine a 64T Challenger,26 litre,coming at you,full throttle,armed to the fuckin teeth.....there's 14 of them....followed by 26 Leopards and just under 30 M55s MBTs,think it's 26 or 28.

Slava Ukraini.
