where someone with a farm tractor started to tow off a tank? It was amazing. It shows a soldier running after the tank. (Sorry, no link.) How incredibly brave, to repossess a tank.

Today I learned that if you want a drive a tank, you'd better be able to drive stick. Had no idea tanks have a clutch.

They've been putting out videos for Ukrainians on how to drive Russian vehicles, and to either disarm or repair confiscated Russian weapons, depending on how useful--or dangerous they are to the Ukrainians.
