Total superheroes. They show up after the place is on fire just to shoot some fancy videos? Chechen vibe or what.

Burning oil plants make a great background for a hardcore rap video about how Russia will win the war soon (TM) (probably in three days)

u/Alarming_Purpose4081 10h ago

they were in good time to help shoot down drones, but had to make stops along the way to make some instagram posts...

Maybe ran out of gas. I hear it's in short supply.

Smells a little like "see boss, we were protecting ourselves as decreed, no windows... please?"

I’d say you’re a little late fellas.

u/Foe117 10h ago

Because the officers on duty are better off making a decision and moving pieces on the board than be accused of idleness during emergency. 

They all know it’s pointless but prison rules are inherently pointless. The only objective is to find and secure power, at all costs. This means displaying urgency under fire, even if that display is…of dubious effectiveness.

Shoot the fire.

To keep them safe from falling debris while Ukraine burns the next target.

wow. so russia talks about all the fancy S300, S400, S500, Pancer and such. But in reality, these are bunch of pick up trucks. They cannot even make own pickup trucks.

I love watching the drones flying into those best in the world air defence systems and blowing up

u/HorrificAnalInjuries 7h ago

Those look like 2000s and 2010s Toyotas

Seems ignorant to be wasting fuel like that. A day late and dollar short I would say.

u/theglobalnomad 8h ago

A dollar, or approximately 85 rubles short*

*Subject to fluctuations

u/No_Force_9405 9h ago

So Russia is now sourcing its field artillery from the Taliban 🤣

Isn't this shutting the gate after the dog escaped?

This is why we need Ukraine to do double taps.

u/MonsieurReynard 9h ago

They’re gonna shoot that fire

u/StrangerExistingFact 9h ago

Not so fast but so furious..... I wonder if you know how they live in ivanovo....

u/Possible-Nectarine80 8h ago

Just more targets for the Ukrainians.

u/MorrowDisca 8h ago

They gonna shoot the fires out?

u/00Wow00 8h ago

It would be hilarious if there was footage of those trucks stranded by the side of the road because they ran out of fuel. Perhaps, even better if they didn't maintain the vehicles and they started throwing piston rods due to lack of oil.

u/Pyrhan 9h ago

That's a VIP with an armed escort. Someone very high up is coming in person.

Whats the hand gesture you see near the end of the clip?

u/Reasonable-Start1067 8h ago

Are those the clapping machines that have been welcoming the drones? They are very effective at cheering.

u/bolderphoto 8h ago

Arriving a little too late

u/cognitiveglitch 7h ago

Shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted there fellas

u/voodoohotdog 7h ago

I don't get it? Is it like a local militia? Well if they've fallen apart this far, I can honestly say I'm very happy.

u/HousingOk6362 6h ago

Probably there to film propaganda videos. Something along the lines of "These brave patriots, put up a heroic fight, stopping most of the drones and missiles."

u/mortisthewise 6h ago

They were just filling up before all of it could burn....

u/Canmand 6h ago

Looks like their running from.

Fat lot of good that will do.

u/endlessVenom 3h ago

The insurgents had this technology in Iraq

u/Imaginary-Clock6626 1h ago

No better than Afghanistan. So much for being a super power. I’m surprised they don’t end up shooting into residential buildings.

Taliban?

u/BuffaloImpossible620 11m ago

The famed one-day late Akhmat Drone Destroyer Division - these technicals are utterly useless - noise makers - no stable platform for gun mount and you need a very good eye and understanding of ballistics to shoot down a drone going at speed.
