The first "Turtle" tank of the Russian invaders captured by the Ukrainians.

Soldiers of the 22nd OMBR "trophied" an antique T-62M, on top of which a whole shed of metal sheets was welded.

Under this shed was the Russian crew, which the Ukrainians captured along with the trophy.

The Ukrainian flag is already flying over the tank.

The Russians are actively sending old T-62M tanks to the front, produced by the Soviet industry in the amount of approximately 20,000 pieces.

Finally, now get to work reverse engineering this marvel so we can use their own technology against them!

Haha that 1950s technology making a comeback

How much reverse engineering does it take to see that it's all washing machine panels and bubble gum?

Ukraine is constantly chadposting! And I like that.

Yet another sign of the Russian economy boo...aaah f**k... I can't even...

At this point it's just depressing how tankies continue to defend Russia, essentially claiming everything's fine and dandy in Russia, when Russia is sending their own people to the front lines in death traps like this.

Did that turtle have a life that is at least notably aquatic? If not, it's a tortoise

I'm calling it now:

Future orc turtle tank version will be a T-62 with a T-55 welded to the top of it as "armor".

This will also fulfill the prophecy of the phrase “Turtles All the Way Down”.
