7. I applaud the Ukrainians for their stand but these videos seem off

Getting clear video in a combat situation is of course difficult but I don't get that so many of these have ZERO indication of Russian counter fire. Sure, you can be in a wait/hide position and pick off that first enemy vehicle without anyone knowing you are there. But once you fire, the normal response would be major counterfire from the enemy to kill or suppress you from firing again. To just go down the line over minutes of time and pick off one vehicle after the other with no enemy response makes me wonder if the vehicles were abandoned to begin with. The level of incompetence on the RU's part if indeed the vehicles and positions are manned and not laying down immediate suppressive counterfire is almost beyond comprehension.
