Imagine explaining this to your commanding officer. "It was a really fast tractor."

“Starshij, I swear it wasn’t my fault!”

“What’s not your fault?”

“Ryadovoj Fedorov and I were driving number 2275 on a nice quiet road when we decided to stop and inspect our left track. When we did, some farmer just hooked his tractor to the lifting shackles on the front of the vehicle and drove away with it. There was nothing we could do.”

“Mladshij Sergeant Vykov, this is completely unacceptable! You and Fedorov are to immediately get in my jeep, go back to that road, find that farmer and order him to take the other nine we have. Don’t ask questions! Go! Fuck Putin!”

They appear to be versions of the Russian BTR — armored personnel carrier.

The beautiful young lady was driving a BTR-80. We know it isn’t a BTR-60 or BTR-70 because she only started one engine, and it was a diesel - the -60 and -70 have two gasoline engines. You know how everyone has a dream car. My dream car is a BTR-80.

The farmer was towing off an MT-LB armored personnel carrier. The video of Ukrainians throwing a Molotov cocktail at a “tank” also had an MT-LB in it.

I wonder where she went. Maybe to trade it for an automatic shift?
