Yep.

How many people know Yorktown was a siege I wonder.

What's your first language?

Native language is Russian.
I studied English 40 years ago at the university.
After that, there was no practice, so I write with errors.

Do you believe the links you have provided show the truth? For example you wrote "In our media, they say 180 out of 200 people were killed.
Mercenaries and instructors for their training from the USA ". Do you believe it?

Your english is very good for someone who's first language is Russian. You must have gone to a good university.

During the war, propaganda works at 1000% of what is possible. And from both sides.
I hardly believe the media. I trust mainly the personal data of the direct participants who are at the scene.
In this situation, the blogs of the surviving French members of the foreign legion. Well, the Brazilian mercenary above (English subtitles) tells the same thing. So I think it's true.

Yeah that is Ukranian forces in a BTR-4 with a 30 mm auto cannon. I don't think they took out the first tank but definitely destroyed the BMP-1. There were several Russian soldiers hiding behind it and I can't imagine they escaped unscathed with those rounds skipping under it.

This is a BTR-4



This is the much older BMP-1

Yeah if the Russians are savagely destroying everything in its path, why meet in Kiev?

Folks can correct me if I'm wrong, but, I believe that a 30mm auto-cannon firing armor-piercing ammo could knock out a tank, if the 30mm cannon can put rounds into the tank's rear or side, especially rear. Rear tank armor is still vulnerable to 30mm fire, I believe.

The tank's "roof-top" hull armor is still vulnerable to 30mm fire, I believe.

But, that armored car carrying that 30mm cannon is vulnerable to just about anything except rifle and pistol fire. That is a recon vehicle and is somewhat out of its element fighting in built-up urban terrain.

The new republics with which Kyiv fought for 8 years are gradually taking away from the Ukrainian army weapons that NATO has recently supplied to them.
Now, after the revision, these weapons will go into service with the LNR and the DNR. I see a lot of photos and videos of such trophies.
