I was hoping to see an actual report about the Ka-52, not watching it take off, shoot off rockets randomly, to land somewhere within 10 KM of their intended target. I'm not ready to press the button on zim/zer yet. Not sure if ze posted the one where the English speaking ruzzian dude did a walk around of the Abrams and some other vehicles in Moscow, but it was surprising to hear him mention they actually bent the barrel of one of the tanks intentionally. |

They've posted these videos for a pretty good while. Usually pretty random between RU and UA sources (always from rumble), but more commonly UA until these last couple. Some have actually been really good footage. They also post rumble stuff in the Israel thread.
