Actually, what photos end up in the thread depend entirely upon the search engine and web search skills of the poster.

The Russians had a Hobson's Choice.

Either confiscate their troops cell phones, and take hits in the modern information war.
Or let them keep the phones, and take higher casualties from the West collecting real-time location data. And passing it on to Ukraine.

Why are the Russians not destroying their abandoned equipment?  Or booby trapping them?  I know they're most likely broken down and non operational but wouldn't it be in their best interest to render them permanently inoperable?  Apparently since their not destroying them it indicates there is no "sensitive" technology on them.  If there was, for sure we would be low key getting a hold of a few.  

Or maybe they did destroy them internally and we just can't see the destruction from the images?

You are most likely getting a distorted perspective due to the sampling bias inherent in war photography.  Destroyed or abandoned vehicles make for interesting yet “G-rated” pictures.  The latter may be important to a professional photographer looking to sell their work to media outlets.  Vehicles are harder to evacuate than human casualties and easy for photographers to find after the battle.

During and after WWII it was often claimed that crewing a tank was more hazardous than infantry duty because they draw fire.  My own infantryman grandfather believed this.  Actual casualty figures from the ETO show that US Army infantry were killed at about six times the rate of tankers.

You have to admit, though, that if you are dealing with infantry armed with large quantities of high tech AT missiles that defeat any existing armor including ERA, and roving drones capable of destroying armor, the modern tank would seem somewhat  obsolete.

Maybe, maybe not.  In the opening days of the Yom Kippur War reckless, overly confident Israeli tankers took many losses from Egyptian infantry who were lavishly equipped with RPG-7s and AT-3 Sagger missiles.  Some observers proclaimed that these weapons had made the tank obsolete.  But the Israelis adapted to the threat and the tank remained very much relevant.

Infantry anti-armor weapons are nothing new.  War is not forgiving of carelessness.  It remains to be seen whether the latest generation of anti-armor weapons are true game changers or just another step in the endless game of action and counter-action.

Very difficult to get a " real" perspective of the losses from the pictures we have access to. If I just looked at what has been coming across you might think the Ukrainians are kicking ass all over the place and have lost very little equipment. Wish we had a better visual from both sides , but its what we got.

On another note I happed to jump on LinkedIn to check out some jobs and the amount of BS on there with this Ukraine deal is staggering. Fake pics, old pics with new captions , and endless virtue signaling. Where were all these folks during the Crimea crisis!
