Dads Army stuff but by god they've got guts.Apparently Molotov cocktails a very effective against tank when hitting near the air intake of the engine, kills the engine and the tank becomes a sitting duck

And so to bed, tonight I will be thinking of those brave souls in Ukraine.
When a Ukrainian Soldier is prepared to sacrifice his own life to blow a bridge up and so stop Russian forces in that sector you know you are dealing with highly motivated people who are prepared to die for their country rather than be governed by one of Putin's choosing .The Ukrainians will ultimately lose this part of the conflict .However they won't be going away either and this will become guerrilla warfare .I'd suggest there will be plenty of body bags getting used and flown back to Russia .

Nothing more can be done to help them unless the are boots on the ground and I doubt that would stop putin
Apparently the Americans offered Zelensky evacuation.He told them I need ammo not a ride.I am lost in admiration. That man is a hero.
A local Kyiv man just interviewed live confirmed reports from a day ago that said there are a lot of very young russian troops, he they hadn't enough food and fuel and were trying to make their way back to russia.
