30-36. The same GAZ Tigr-M in tweet 29 showing its wider surroundings. The area seems more suburban than the main road where a 2nd column is shown ambushed in later tweets, so this could be from the GAZ Tigr-M group in tweet 28.
-----------
@RALee85:
Video from Kharkiv possibly showing that same abandoned Tigr-M vehicle.

32-36. Here a column of 4 more RuAF GAZ Tigr-M are abandoned. Presumably their occupants fled to large yellow building front right following an ambush. UAF forces target it. One fires a shoulder launch weapon, then RPG shots as his comrades prepare more.

Ukrainian soldiers engaging Russian spetsnaz or razvedchiki by those damaged and abandoned Tigr-M vehicles in Kharkiv.

33-36. After the battle we see that 1st GAZ Tigr-M is destroyed + the 4th is damaged. Note 1st + 3rd have same 'B22' number. UAF troops search + strip the vehicles. The vehicle in the distance is not a 5th Tigr-M but a destroyed UAF BTR-4 we will see later.

Video footage of what appear to be five Russian military Tigr-M IMV deserted by their crew, who appeared to be Russian Spetsnaz, and seized by Ukrainian forces. Again during the failed Russian assault in Kharkiv.

GOOD NEWS - The fire at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power station broke out IN A TRAINING BUILDING outside the plant's perimeter, the state emergency service said in a statement
Separately, the plant's director told Ukraine 24 TV radiation security had been secured at the site.

34-36. So we have a total of 6 lost Russian GAZ Tigr-M. The two shown in tweets 29-31 (1 captured + 1 destroyed) + the 4 from the battle in tweets 32-33 (1 destroyed, 1 damaged + 2 captured), as well as the spoils from this unit shown in 2 linked tweets🔽.

@UAWeapons:
Afterwards the vehicles were stripped of materiel, including quantities of ammo/kit. Note the RPG-30 and apparent RPG-27, AGS-17/30 drum magazine, etc. https://t.co/q8rAAoQ6K7

@Iron_Man_Actual We should still procure Spike NLOS or and equivalent to give our guys better range.

The best thing the US can do to help Ukraine is to convince Putin that de-escalation is a less costly and risky option for him than continuing the war. Calling for regime change or assassination does the opposite.

@Iron_Man_Actual To be fair, T-90A are old tanks and T-90M haven't been used. We now have evidence that T-80BVM and T-72B3M are still vulnerable. The main thing is that effective tactics and small unit competency can negate technological superiority.

NATO arms exports are shaping Russia's cost-benefit analysis by making the war more costly. These comments will just become fodder for Russian news to argue that regime change has always been the US' goal, which isn't true.

@BA_Friedman @Iron_Man_Actual I continue to ask why far smaller countries have SUVs that can carry 10 ATGMs that can kill top-of-the-line tanks at 30km and we don’t? Imagine every infantry company having one or two of them.

Russia is sustaining far higher casualties than in any of the previous wars under Putin and the Russian economy is suffering increasingly severe disruptions. That will likely lead to a domestic backlash. The question is whether that will happen before Russia levels Kyiv.
