A Russian crew jumps off and flees from this self-propelled howitzer that is hit by a drone and then self propels across a field.

They effed around and found out.

The beatings will continue until morale improves.

The tweet he is responding to, which unfortunately cannot be embedded, shows Russian soldiers being beaten by a commander.

x When Russian soldiers complain in videos and interviews about their commanders beating them to force them to go into near-suicidal attacks, they mean it absolutely literally. https://t.co/nUabIUy5sQ — ChrisO_wiki (@ChrisO_wiki) September 19, 2023

Russia destroyed a Caritas NGO warehouse in Lviv full of humanitarian aid.

Seems only fitting if those stolen tank engines ended up helping Ukraine defend itself from Russia.

x 1/ A Russian colonel arrested earlier this year for stealing seven T-90 tank engines appears to have been even more industrious than first realised: investigators have now reportedly linked him to the theft of 21 tank engines, worth tens of millions of rubles. ⬇️ pic.twitter.com/98dicz3KRX — ChrisO_wiki (@ChrisO_wiki) September 19, 2023

x 7/ It's not clear from the reports who the stolen engines were sold to, but it's quite possible they may have gone to Ukraine. If so, there may be a couple of dozen Ukrainian tanks and BMPs driving around with stolen Russian engines. /endhttps://t.co/Ts6LzFAXn6 — ChrisO_wiki (@ChrisO_wiki) September 19, 2023

Russian propagandist rants that Russia is unable to make drones en masse out of cardboard and sewer pipe like Ukraine does.

x Russian propagandist Sladkov is so shocked by the ability of Ukrainians to create drones from the most simple materials, he even admits that NATO support does not and will not play any role in this.



And he's perplexed as to how the self-proclaimed second military in the world is… pic.twitter.com/iF5N9pEj0u — Dmitri (@wartranslated) September 19, 2023

Speaking of ranting Russians:

x Russian forces near Bakhmut are completely falling apart.

Today’s edition of the Ramzan Kadyrov Death Watch.

He’s hanging on longer than Generalissimo Francisco Franco.

Maybe he has kidney failure. Or maybe his soul has just completely rotted away.

x Rumor: Needed a kidney transplant. No suitable donor found. Used a pig kidney. Pig kidney rejected being put into Kadyrov's body. Note, one can survive on dialysis without kidney function for some time, is not necessarily fatal but can lead to other complications. — Crosspatch-ish 🇺🇸 (@VictorishB123) September 19, 2023

Russia: The land of low expectations.

x "We should eat less, then everything will be much better" - Russians discuss poverty in their country.



There is a popular saying in Russia: "we never lived well, so no point to start doing it now". Many actually live by it. It's ok for them to have little, as you see here. pic.twitter.com/oqn5nmnYJr — Anton Gerashchenko (@Gerashchenko_en) September 19, 2023

They wait for their humans to come home.

x Animals stay in ruined homes. No one knows what happened to their owners. There is war and explosions around. Animals do not run away. They stay there and wait. Often without food and water.



Our military try to rescue animals and evacuate them to safety. They do their best to… pic.twitter.com/82IFK6z9kY — Anton Gerashchenko (@Gerashchenko_en) September 19, 2023

Kombat kittens need their sleep.

If this curious rabbit had been curious around a Russian position, he’d likely end up as dinner or target practice.
