This Is What Happens When You Leave A Tank Parked On A City Street In Ukraine
As Jalopnik reports, a BMP light tank was reportedly left stalled on a city street near Mariupol... A gassed-up, fully-loaded tank. Ready to roll. Ready to obliterate some separatists. This is what happened next...

At this stage, we all know that the "Fascists" are you Russians following your Great Leader, Princess Putin.
Do your superiors know you're screwing around on the internet? Shouldn't you be somewhere strangling a pregnant woman?
Well, I did NOT see that coming.
I guess your Mama thought it was time for you to know...son. But chear up, your going to have a brother!
This is probably the shittiest "comeback" I've ever heard. Trolling ain't what it used to be.
Radon tends to accumulate in basements, especially in the mid-west.

kids don't play with matches you will get burned
adults don't play with tanks you will get blown
fire in a hole bitchezzz
For most men I know, that is incentive to play with tanks.
This is why Ukraine needs common-sense tank control laws.
lady at :53 barely even flinches.
Seriously! I've had shadows in the dark spook me worse than that!
Bullets flying, everybody still walking around, no problem.

I love the gal who grabbed the big ol' ammo crate... she just paid her rent for the month.
Wondering why someone didn't offer the BMP a free cocktail after looting it.
If someone was wondering if there was a round already loaded, I think they found their answer. Classic.
But isn't it possible to leave tank cannons unloaded? I mean, if I had to park my tank, I'd probably want to unload the cannon and maybe put the safety on before I left it, just so nobody accidently blows a hole in the wall.
Speaks to how nervous they are, and how quickly they bugged out.
Hey guys, hold my beer while I check out this tank!
Sure no problem, just don,t push that red buttom!
This one?
I cannot fathom how that old man is still standing, within 3 feet of the point of impact. How did the concussion effect not knock him down?
Any experts have specs for that tank and the ordinace for the big gun?
I'm hardly an expert, but if that's a BMP-2, then this is its "big gun":
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/30_mm_automatic_cannon_2A42
No way to know what it was firing, though I doubt it was HE.
Probably AP.
Concussion?
He hasn't figured out yet that the corner of that building is now deep inside his face and chest.
Shock does that to ya.
I love how many car alarms went off
wasn't me, I swear.
Did that woman just walk off with an ammunition box? What she's gonna do with that?
It's a down payment for a new GM car.
Stupid, if there is a recall you don't have anything.

Yeah, use the bloody pedestrian crossing, I won't miss next time!!
I assume that APC has a high velocity 30 mm cannon. That baby sure packs a punch! One might also ask why Ukrianian army leaves an APC parked unattended with a 30mm round in the chamber.
Is it just me, but over the last months I have watched these Russian Ukrainina civilians confront armed troops, tanks and APCs, to stand their ground when firing is going on to scare them. They jump at the chance to loot an APC even though the Ukrainian troops have to be nearby. In short, the people there do not seem to be scared and bullied little slaves like America's police state would like to make us here in the USA.
Latest news reveals deep American involvement in the shale gas companies seeking to drill in teh Donetsk basin. This is a rich part of Ukraine's shale gas play. Logical, as Donets basin has much coal, gas would be there too. Vice presidents son and a close friend of Kerry's family are both enagaged in trying to get rich by working in Ukraine's gas play.
Over all, I have noticed a near complete black out of news coming from Ukraine. Even RT has reduced coverage to a minimum. The west has produced a couple stories for world wide distribution, that have appeared at NPR, CNN and over in UK papers and BBC. This was the billionare who payed some workers to clean up an administration building. This paid work was presented as a spontaneous movement by locals to expel pro Russian protestors and to restore the region to Kiev. I followed up this story, and it proved to be just a slick propaganda piece using a few dozen workers who could hardly refuse to work for their billionare boss. Though the story was real, it was a stage managed propaganda piece that does not affect the overall rebellion in the East.
I have noticed the news blackout as well. I guess that it is part of the public opinion manipulation process. It is a kind of emotional roller coaster.
Stop talking about some topic on TV for a couple of days seem to be enough for a majority to forget. If they do not talk about it on TV, it does not exist or isn't too bad, right? Things should be settling down if they stop talking about it.
Same thing hapenned to MH370 flight. They were talking about it everyday for 2-3 weeks than after nothing.
North Korean had the same treatment last year or 2 years ago.

Victoria Nuland's putch forces are successfully blockading food, fuel and medical deliveries to 100,000 Slavyansk citizens, with resulting empty ATMs and bank and store closings, creating a humanitarian crisis, which RT for some unknown reason choses to completely ignore.
Welcome to being stranded and ignored in Nulandistan...
putin is playing his next pawn move, a one space move that weaves the trap for the empire. the election is the 25th. if ukraine can be kept in a news blackout the west cannot claim any interference when the election is lost. putin knows the ukrainian russians have the votes to run the country. what will the west do when their man loses again? something stupid is assured and putin may have to take out the queen(merkel) to make it stop.
The tribe controls the media. Who even knew there was a hurricane off of New York on 9/11 until Dr. Judy Wood stumbled upon it. Imagine the power one must have to block even meteorologists from speaking out.
Jack about your second paragraph:
Russians can be very clever
And not scared of much
Truth on that. Coverage done gone disappearo big time after everyone was lit aflame and strangled. The morning after I spent the day collecting as much footage/witness recall and citizen journo re: the incident, before it's sanitized. I'm kinda decent at going around the data-blox, grabbing raw stuff pre-yoink. Had lots opractice /w SCAF/Mubarak, Homs when FSA" hadn't "galvanized" into FrankenNuGladio Mess etc...
You're spot on, RT done gone hush, VOR reporting has taken an "op-ed" meta-geopolitical sorta flavor. PressT-V, same general deal. All those wpapers/procedural docs/ROC for "soft" trolling/sabby protocol re: forum/soc-media MISO...Yeppers, many filthy-bags coming round these parts, every-part. On the positive- More than any other place in data-sphere/blogwhats, trolls/ballsacky shitheads get called out with no BS expedience. If the rigamarole weren't so dire, methinks I'd say thar beh some funny moments, observing the slapping of dem bitchez
fuckum
You know what its like, your in a new town, you want to go out for a few drinks, one thing leads to another, you wake up in the morning with a vague feeling of apprehension and a massive blinding hangover and can't remember where you parked the car..
CAUTION: Nulandistan manipulative trash talk in the post road immediately ahead: STEP OVER IT...
i read about heavy fighting in 'slavyantsk' or whatever that one town is called. occupiers being shelled by heavy artillery and such. claims of 650 ukranian army/police/national guard/militia dead since 2 may...
Russians who follow Putin are FASCISTS:
Damn those communist muslim fascist atheist catholic jewish arabic norwegian pig dogs!
novictim, you just listed the characteristics of the U.S., to a T. Clever the way you disguised your critique as criticism of Putin's Russia. I tip my hat to you sir.
Another hat tip to the the clever roud about way of pointing out America's fascist imperial spy state and the people who support and fund the advance of fascist imperial warmongering by the Washington DC power players. Clever way to make the point.
novictim=Stupid ?
Troll ?
oh wait, he was serious???
He likes Nazis.
I'll bet he wishes he could Zippo a few civilians with gasoline.
State Department program to direct the disucssion and debate of topics the USA feels are not being controlled by Washington's State Department? The State Department has admitted to hiring trolls and using computer programs to alert Washington to any discussion of Ukraine's crisis that is not following the line Washington has ordered to be the proper thought pattern on the issue. Israel originated this type of official employment of paid trolls. The object is to discredit alternate views and to direct discussion into preapproved channels favorable to the Party Line. Not only is our every word spied upon, tracked and stored, they also feel the need to get into the discussion and try and direct it to their approved direction.
We have several State Department trolls working ZH, although not every pro Neocon post is necessarily a trolls. There are true believers in the empire, true believers in thought control and total spy oversight of American's thoughts.
Astroturfing IS a growth industry..!!
US state department trolls need love too, just because someone loves their country and can see no wrong being committed by their government does not make them a US controlled Troll on these pages, what it does is make them a lot of fun to play with.
These pages would be boring without them....give Trolls a chance,
I think that was a great description of the US government! Pot calling kettle black?
Exactly, Putin is a fascist and so is the US, and just about every other country in the world.
Be careful, novictim. The Russians have already annexed Georgia, check for the sound of tanks hourly. I hope Florida is still standing.

The derivation of your post: http://www.oldamericancentury.org/whitepapers/defining/identifiers_britt... Originally found here: http://www.secularhumanism.org/fi/index.htm (link is no mas..that is Spanish for "no more" you fucking simpleton.}
Below is who this "Doctor" really is....he is no doctor, but is truly more a propagandizing corporate cock for his political team. You'll have to excuse my penchant for research as I fuckass your idiocy.
"The internet knows him as Dr. Laurence Britt, a political scholar who studied Fascism in great detail in order to bring us these signs of its impending return, citing such examples as Mussolini’s Italy, Hitler’s Germany, Franco’s Spain, Salazar’s Portugal, Suharto’s Indonesia, Pinochet’s Chile and Papadopoulos’s Greece. But who is he really? A search of the internet reveals no “Doctor Laurence Britt, political scholar,” nor can any of his works be found aside from the 14 Warning Signs themselves. Does this man exist? As it turns out, yes and no. There is no “Dr. Laurence Britt, political scientist” and there never was. There is only Laurence Britt, former executive and author of a single book, who wrote the 14 Signs. Far from being anything resembling an expert on politics, much less Fascism specifically, Britt is a former corporate executive who worked for such corporations as Allied Chemical, Mobil and Xerox Corp and studied business at Northwestern University."
Larry Britt chimes in....
http://www.ryananddebi.com/2004/10/16/laurence-britts-14-points-of-fasci...24. Laurence Britt Says:
September 21st, 2006 at 9:41 pm Dear Ryan,
I’ve read this thread with interest. For your information I never made a claim that I was a “Dr.” Someone on the internet made that ASSUMPTION when they passed on the artice. I am a retired bsunessman with a life long interst in history and current events. I have a personal book collection on these subjects of over 3000 volumes. I’ve contributed chapters to three books, written another, and am working on a second. I’ve written aproximately 25 magazine and newespaper articles on political and econmic affairs. I spent about 200 hours researching the fascism article building on a lifetime interst in the subject. My novel, “June , 2004? was written in 1997 and published in 1998. It was a fictional treatment of a future of fascism in America, which has turned out quite predictive of actual events since it was published. Regards, Larry Britt
"So, we have established that there is no Dr. Laurence Britt, only Laurence Britt, retired businessman. So what was the inspiration for his article? As it turns out, it was nothing more than a propaganda piece intended to serve as an argument claiming the Bush administration was in fact, Fascist and that it was a basis for his book “June 2004,” in which America descends into Fascism following the election of a strangely Bush-like far-right politician, a book which he maintains has been “quite predictive,” though one might have to actually care to read the book to determine whether or not this is true."
"Despite Britt’s lack of academic credentials, his partisan allegiances and his inclusion of non-Fascist movements, do the Signs point towards Fascism? This is what we will spend the remainder of this article determining as we go point-by-point and address each “Warning Sign” and compare it to Fascism, not only the core theory and works of literature, but also historical examples, including those which Britt overlooked in his zeal to paint the GOP as “Fascist” warmongers."

I'll be here all week. Tip your State Dept. troll....
In all seriousness, you better come with more than that. When you have the truth on your side, it's very tough to lose arguments. If you want to see the type of Fascism these warmongering, children killing, Nazi fuck backing troglodytes are beginning to resemble, I'd take a look at Japan in th late 1920's in a run up to WWII. I recommend you read, "Japan and Its World" by Marius B Jansen.
NOW GO GET YOUR FUCKING SHINEBOX....
Thanks for the post IR!
With the amount of trolling on the internet by statists interests, it amazes me how many readers commented on and agreed with the post you absolutely trashed, Bravo.
Another amazing truth is how many believe the fascist regimes of the past were "Rightwing".
With the infusion of libertarian ideas into the "republican" mainstream as the result of Ron Paul and his followers and the groundswell of support for a return to a strict interpretation of the US Constitution, the onslaught against this groundswell is breathtaking.
When I talk with those in my sphere of influence, I'm encouraged by the awakening taking place regarding research into how the leviathan of statism is causing great harm to the US Constitution and its inclusion and adherance into everyday life.
It is my belief that this is giving rise to the term constitutional conservative, which gives separation to those wanting to divest themselves of the two party paradigm.
DaddyO
I like to flesh out the truth. Tht's all I want. I knew something was amiss when Japan was left out yet other non-fascist, but still brutal, regimes were replaced. I have read many political science scholars and this guy he quoted smelled of fraud. I digged and was amazed that this guy is still bandied about and used in certain circles. it'll suck when Net Neutrality kills my ability to research the truth.
Just described the United States...
(If you think religion and the state are not intertwined, then why are churches afforded tax exempt status?)
Love ya novictim, thanks for trolling.
Wow. The Russians don't act like the west wants them to.
No kidding.....
The West maybe, but not the Elites who have a game in mind.... or is the hollowing out of the West just a partially considered chess play by amatuers?
Putin is just a bigger NAZI than Bush, without term limits he has more time to perfect his game, always entertaining to hear him call western ukies 'NAZIs" when he's the biggest , baddest NAZI on the globe.
rebel/separatist armour opens fire on Kiev regime forces during night raid

Sitting there stationary firing multiple rounds is not sound tactics on taday's battlefield. "Shoot and scoot" is what they used to call it. There are so many weapon systems that can take out a tank/apc that sitting still after announcing your position makes you a sitting duck. One of the huge selling points of the M1 Abrams was it's ability to acquire and fire on the move.
This is true on the modern battlefield. But the battlefield in Ukraine is not modern in the sense we are used to. Ukraine's army in East Ukraine is a ragtag bunch of outdated APC's and the odd tank. I would liken the conflict in East Ukraine to a 1960's battlefield. The fight is not taking place in the presence of weapons of which you speak. Russian troops across the border do have all these moern systems, but they are not enagaged. Ukraine's army is not a modern force, nor is the resistance. So expect this type of thing like you see on the video.
Yes, at first, but after a few minutes they began firing on the move. There was also apparently 1 forward spotter & 1 equipped with night vision on the vehicle itself. Judging by the panicky & aimless return fire, the targets weren't exactly top grade either.
I see your thouand gold deescalation, and deescalate a thousand silver. Or wait, I'm all in with Brussels actually.
Now if I can only find out where I left my fully loaded helicopter
That Russian vodka always gets me in trouble
One of these days the cleaner at a nuclear missile site might just do the same thing and accidentally press the wrong button.
We used to have a problem with a clients site falling over every night at about the same time, in the end we tracked it down to the cleaner, pulling a plug out to plug their vacuum in. Never ever under estimate peoples stupidity, the cleaner thought nothing about all the pretty lights on equipment going off when she plugged in her vacuum, after all it was only going to be for a little while, then she would plug it back in again, no harm done. lol.
I'm telling you that is what Hitlery is going to do if she gets elected. It won't be no tank button that she'll be going for.
If that turd gets elected, I'm going to lead the exodus to Mexico. I'll part the Rio Grande, shouting "let my people go!"
I mean, someone has to do it. Charleton Heston passed on.
You run away south.
Me & the boys, we'll tackle the problem and Head East!

Always good to find a Head East fan!
She will have to show the world that she has bigger balls than the boys, that means more non American people world wide getting killed in some country,
Awww... man. Can't we have Carol Burnett for president? I'd feel a lot safer!
Now there's a blatant violation of rule #1: All guns are always loaded.
I think he broke #3 as well: Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on the target.
...and he broke rules #2 and #4 too. Some people shouldn't be allowed near guns.
Maybe if private citizens were allowed to own their own tanks, they would be better equipped to handle them responsibly. We need a lobby group, call it the National Tank Association, get that put in place to avoid senseless incidents like this.
' Hey Sergey, what do you think this button does' ?
You know you're a Ukrainian redneck when...
Whenever I see a light tyranny tank, it's cocktail hour. Now Mr Molotov, if you please. . .
I bet if you put a spanner (wrench for the yanks) in just the right place, the tracks would break right off.
BMP 2 (an infantry fighting vehicle) has a 30mm auto-stabilized auto-cannon. Notice the nice new paint job on this - it just rolled off the rail cars from Czech Republic? This thing is hard to load, so I find it difficult to believe that the garrison loaded this up, crew it out, rolled it down the road unsupported (radio anyone) and left it ready to fire in the middle of civilians in hostile? territory. The only guys that do this are mercs and folks that never spent their own money on their TO&E.
This "setup" is a slow burn strategy used to incite civic strife and chaos. We used to do the same thing in Iraq. Get some half working piece of Iraqi mechanized equipment and load it out with a few dozen rounds of this and that. Load it up ready to fire - batteries on, etc. Leave it in a Shia neighborhood and see what happens next. All the local boys would come out of nowhere and play around it, scavenge it for water, cigs and porn and other planted pro-Sunni propaganda and invariably hit the "big red fire" button and blow up some market, favorite shop or kill somebody's uncle. Everyone comes out the next day and blames the Sunnis for illegal killings. This is how you create ethnic conflicts - psyops.
It is meant to sow chaos.
If this really did "break down" why is it being left unguarded?
Ukraine would have done better by marketing to German tourists and American internet magnates.
Sweet baby Jesus, I hope the Fedcoats drop a similar set of wheels outside my house. Wouldn't have to be a Stryker, either. An armored HumVee with a TOW launcher, and I'd be off to the nearest arms and ammo depot, I mean Social Security office.
Justin Bieber at it again, this should top all the headlines.
This seems to be the CIA pamphlet playbook:
http://rufabula.com/articles/2014/04/29/comparison-table
Those rounds flew right past the lady on the corner before showering her with debris.
1. BMP can have also a smooth bore 80mm. It seems to be this short smooth bore 80 mm, normally firing the antitank ammo, or antitank rocket.
2. this seems to be a show before the planed elections next weekend.
3. the world-wide propaganda of CIA through their media is silent this week. I link this to the planed elections: CIA wants to show to the world, that Ua is a normal stable country and the elections, which ought to be held next week, are very very normal occurence and happen to be in a lucky country with some disobedience here, or some fireworks there.
I wondered why the propaganda machine had fallen silent, of course must give the appearance that all is well, afterwards they can shift back into high gear because then everything will be due to Russians not liking the result, I am curious, is there actually any opposition to vote for in this election or is there only the one party and you simply have a choice of names, does anybody know?
Remember this video the next time Biden plays with the little suitcase with the launch codes.
You are looking at the stupidest people on the planet.
if true, natgas and electricity may be difficult to get in East Ukraine going forward.

This is another reason why you need to make your military vehicles idiot proof....because sooner or later some idiot is going to be fooling around in it
I worked on F-4 E and G fighters in Germany. Front seat/rear seat arrangement with virtually no visiblity between seats. The USAF is full of 1 yr out of HS idiots and I hated traing bew guys. You never knew if they were gonna get stupid and push the wrong button and you are in the other seat and just plain don't know wtf they are doing. Of course you have lots of other guys doing stuff all around you that you don't even know their names. Simply amazed me we did not have a tragic accident monthly.
Stupid civilians.
whoops...guess it was loaded...my bad...is your leg okay?
"Dude, where's my APC?"
Cool!!!! Looting!!!!
I don't know how many times people have to be told, don't leave a round in the chamber, basic firearms safety. If they can't follow the rules they should have their guns taken away from them.

I am going have to step up here and give you red for that comment because it might be the most ignorant post I have ever seen on ZeroHedge. Almost five years on the Hedge and you post that kind of crap?
No Boris, that button doesn't open the trunk!
I thought you had to yell "fore" when you shot one of them things. Did anyone hear that? If not then that's a serious violation of protocol.
Well... ahh...umm. Fuck it. I'll take two of those. That's not a tank but more of a light amored assault vehicle. I would say it packs a wallop though and I could use that thing here as a tractor with a gun. Hey Mansanto, get off the property.
How was it just left loaded though?
Cultural learnings from glorious nation of Ukraine. Thank God these bunch of idiots have given back their nukes to the Russians. Good luck Obama to handle these people.

You could have parked the thing in the african bush and got the exact same response from the monkeys hanging out there. Sometimes evolution just doesn't help a lot of folks no matter how hard you try.
I can't believe Ukraine gave live ammo to its own troops, that's coup confidence, Obama doesn't trust his own troops to be armed in his presence.
nor should he
weapons in the hands of trained russian soldiers = successful uprising and independance referendum.
tank in the hands of a civilian separatist = destroyed separatist city.
seems to me the lesson to learn here is that maybe the separatists alone could quell the russian instigation if ukrainians give them weapons to "support" the uprising.
