@warmatters New Year's eve Makiivka barracks HIMARS attack resulting in huge casualty figures - maybe hundreds. Suggested to be partly due to bad OPSEC.

@YellowPapaya2 That’s true, giving a handful of ATACMS wouldn’t hurt US stocks. For 20 ATACMS it would be 2.5% so 5% would be 40. US really doesn’t need ATACMS, they’ll get the 500km Precision Strike Missile and have 7,000 Cruise Missiles. US should just give 20 ATACMS 🇺🇦 for the Crimean Bridge

@charlesSquireNS @666_mancer There are a whole series of staged Russian films going round at the moment. They show 'Ukrainians' supposedly beating other soldiers up or brutality etc etc. In all films faces are somehow hidden. Ukrainian viewers often catch the off accents though. This is another one.

@MurazorTV IMO its also as they have a very large profile so they are easier to spot + harder to hide, while their off-road capability (weigh and tyres) is rumoured to be problematic, so we have seen quite a few abandoned and then captured. I don't like BTRs in general due to large profile.

@TheBioFred thanks... if you can describe in a tweet or two do add.

@4_tweets_sake Agreed. And I hope I am wrong.
Allso If large shrapnel hit and damage the recoil cylinders at the front then the gun may be out of action for a while although they are above the barrel so also protected in some part.
