"Helpful" Britain Tweets "How To Spot A Russian Tank In Ukraine"
In case you are wondering through Ukraine and come across a tank, the British embassy in Kiev has issued a handy pocket guide to indentifying whether it is Russian (bad guys) or Ukrainian (good guys)...

That plus empty vodka bottles falling out the back
DA COMRADES!
You have been fooled again.
Tweets are lies.
Ukraine has a lot of T-72s
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukrainian_Ground_Forces#Armoured_and_mechanised_forces
LOL! You beat me to it!
Listen.
Haha! You guys are "GOOD"!
so they've seen 3 tanks in 3 months. Big fucking whoop.
Have you not seen ISIS parading around in brand new chevy trucks?
Ukraine has T-72 tanks, but they are in storage for lack of parts, made in Russia.
Plenty of sources for parts.
http://www.defenseindustrydaily.com/hungary-sells-t-72-tanks-to-026666/
Of course, there's also the Ukrainian tank factory in Kharkiv. They have a whole section of their web site about the T-72 upgrades they do. Here's their page about the modular reactive armor (Kontakt-5) upgrades:
http://www.morozov.com.ua/eng/body/t72m2.php
As you can see from the turret armor diagram, it looks exactly like the depiction in the ridiculous pocket guide provided by the British Foreign & Commonwealth Office.
It is clear that one has to be a cheerleader for Vichy DC to appreciate and praise this kind of incredibly cheap propaganda.
Talk.
What do you call a nuclear weapon destroying bangalore? A good start
Yes, but do they have the target & gun track systems which are exclusive to the Russian non-export versions ?
No.
Feel free to find me a article or source which proves Ukraine had tanks in armor with the 2005 upgrade package and I'm certain you will get front page BBC. Until then? Putin's in Ukraine, and will likely take over Donetsk by Spring. Thereby invalidating about 80% of the Soviet sockpuppets who have argued this was a organic revolution in the east, and just like Georgia, is a sign of things to come.
On another note, I am dissapointed on the lack of Uber coverage. You would think TD would be all over the takedown and various shady dealings on by Uber (using escort services in Paris, bribes to gov. officials to secure positive civic law changes, non-paying drivers, bribing unions). I guess RT pays better for Ukraine coverage.
You mean the Kontakt-5 armour, like the T-72AG which Ukraine has, here is a pic of one

It's #DodgeyDossier all over again.
This is ridiculous, a couple of Google searches and we can disprove everything in that embassy tweet.
I hope Putin DOES march into Donetsk and the complete Eastern area of Ukraine by spring! At least Putin will feed them, clothe them and not bomb them!
The Ukraine Govt has been bombing them in their homes during the ceasefire and just stopped electricity supplies, water supplies, all pensions and shut down all banks. (But that's OK because the western media supports them!)
Putin, the evil one /sarc will at least stop the genocide
NATO, the US and the EU either need to put up or shut up about Russia, Ukraine and Crimea... I vote they should STFU because they have already stated they are not going to do anything anyway... Soon it will be too late to backtrack their positions...
NATO has almost no real deployable forces while the USA has spent all their money on shiny toys but lack the trained manpower to use them. Putin's army really isn't that great but he has one he can actually put in the field. https://medium.com/war-is-boring/american-f-16s-arent-supposed-to-dogfig...
"...shiny toys..."
And perhaps there's this:
What frightened the USS Donald Cook so much in the Black Sea?Many thanks for that link "ChiangMai". The western media has worked very hard to silence all reports of what actually took place. It is a measure of how threatened Russia feels that they would bring out the big guns and reveal a secret electronics warfare capability. What that proves, is that the system the Russian aircraft used is only a tiny fraction of what Russia really has in the field of electrnic warfare. At the quote of the Russian gives it away. "The more complex a system is made, the easier it is to disable". I know for a fact, that the USN has made the air defense systems of it's ships Ultra, Super, Complex! They are so complex, that is can boogle the human mind to even see basically how AGIES works. Thus it is super vulnerable to be infected at some link in the chain of complexity.
Sooo... the USSA isn't the sharpest tack in the drawer.
Whocouldanode?
"How to spot a Nazi" guide's been making rounds through parliament. It consists of a pocket-sized mirror with a portrait of Stepan Bandera etched onto the back.
Sooooooooooooooo its a T72BM
Putin will just deny it. Like he does everything else.
It either was purchasd on E Bay by the Ukies or it was LOST and strayed over the border
all the players have poisoned the well with false flags ... hoo knows? ... hoo cares?

Truth is the 1st casualty SDM, in a war Russia didnt start
Is that why the British mainstream media is Sooooooooooooooo scared to death over RT UK’s recent TV launch in the United Kingdom? It's afraid of denials? Or the truth?
British mainstream freaks out over RT UK launch | RT
November 05, 2014
UK news outlets and personalities are reacting with predictable venom to the just-launched RT UK’s pledge to “challenge” the UK status quo.
The "red scare-mongering" portrays the network as a “Kremlin-backed mouthpiece” and a “key weapon” Vladimir Putin wields against Western societies. Even Reuters worried that RT is seeking “to extend Russia's soft power in a close US ally”./
The Guardian and The Mirror went for "laughs" - scrambling up two stories on RT’s ‘greatest hits’ that included an activist refusing to discuss Chelsea Manning’s sentence as he was invited to do, an interview with Steven Seagal who criticized western media coverage of the Ukraine crisis and a video of Putin singing Blueberry Hill at a charity dinner.
RT UK’s launch also coincided with a London panel debate on "countering Russian disinformation", hosted by a UAE-funded NGO – its press release mentioning the only Russian channel – RT. Tory activist and Conservative Home executive editor Mark Wallace got so worked up that he urged British MPs to boycott RT UK on the premise that speaking to the channel would spread “propaganda.” …
People commenting on the Guardian website:
- At least it might prove a bit of an antidote to the BBC / ITV / CHANNEL 5 news broadcasts from Tory HQ??
- Its coverage of the Scottish referendum was pretty fair and balanced, I thought, unlike some other broadcasters closer to home.
- Russia Today provides balance to the UK media. Counters a narrative and provides a platform for alternative voice. For that I'm grateful they exist in the UK.
- RT is more reliable now than our dear old graun. Great news that we will have another source to compare with what currently passes for journalism in the UK. How UK's oligarch press barons and the elitist London establishment must hate that!
http://rt.com/op-edge/202615-uk-rt-launch-reaction/
It just underscores the fact that the MSM is the government.
The propaganda had worn me out. Who cares anymore... no one is listening and no one cares. iFucks
another day ... another WTI uh, er, TANKing
levitating just above $74 / barrel
must not have liked EIA report on crude inventory build
And why has gold just dropped 15 dollars in a few minutes??
China is still lying about production levels.
The Anglo/American criminals do not give up on their war. They keep pounding away thinking people are total morons.
Even if Russia was in Ukraine, its an internal matter that the West has no business being in. They lied so much they are even believing their own bullshit now. MH17 was shot down by the Russian rebels etc (yea right), Russia has invaded Ukraine (yea right), Crimea was forcibly taken (yea right with 90+% vote to rejoin Russia - no news from the Western BS news). Its becoming a complete and utter farce what these mofos are doing.
Russian tanks in Ukraine?
I don't know, are there 'fast and furious' rifles in Mexico?
Infantile, propagandistic bullsh*t.
American tanks in ISIS controlled Iraq...
(not quite sure which paradigm that fits into- since it works both ways)
Aren't all tanks in Ukraine 'Russian made'?
All those variants look eerily the same to me.
and it has a large storage compartment to steal Ukrainian gold !

No reason.
Do they have a pocket guide showing the distribution trail of the Ukie GOLD?
Let this be a lesson Ukrainian proles.. all these handy guides and press releases cost a shit ton..
You didn't think the West and associated dipshit nations would just give their citizens stolen tax dollars for free right?
Kontakt-5 armour is employed by Russia, Ukraine and Serbia (on M-84AS MBT), among others.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kontakt-5
So are they just lying or what?
Listen.
"or what".
We should "tweet" what a nudelman cookie looks like
Britain is arming the Nazis, so so what?
If Russian tanks are rolling into Kiev and killing people, then it's a problem. BUT it's the Ukrainian military that is attacking East Ukraine. That is what is wrong. Whether there are Russian tanks in East Ukraine or not is beside the point.
So you have a picture of a Russian tank in some field. How do you know that the field is in Ukraine? Someone photoshop downtown Kiev in the background?
Case in point, my father-in-law loves these bow hunting films. Some guy in camo in a tree says well we're in the woods in Kentucky. And then same guy is in a very similar tree saying he's in the woods in Tennessee and then West Virginia. Once I ask him, how do you know that guy isn't out here in your backyard in Maine? I just get this look like I'm crazy and we're probably out of his will.
Sorry, but Ukraine has two T-72-models, they are T-72AMG/UG and T-72 Banan that look exactly like this (to clarify, the T-72AMG looks like the T-72BM, while the T-72 Banan looks like some other models they've accused of being sent by Russia). So - fuck the Foreign and Commonretard "Office" and their juvenile schoolyard bullyboy piece of crap propaganda. I'm so sick of seeing what Britain has become. It used to be a serious nation. Now it needs regime change.
"Now it needs regime change."
Don't we all.
Damn right! Thats why we are voting for Nigel Farage and UKIP next year so we can dump the bunch of liars now in Parliament.
Poor ukrainian people.
How to start revolution in 2 simple steps, :
1 destroy economy by cutting local working populations access to credit and currency
2 send some agents to make contacts with some local psychos and give them quasi unlimited access to credit and currency.
Yeah and how to spot UK weapons in Syria & Iraq.
Thanks Britain.
Here is something to keep you and your Yank and Zionist friend(s) preoccupied with for days, weeks and months to come given the hair trigger alert you placed the world in after you blew up a train station inside their Country and overthrew a democratically elected government and put in it's place a fanatic military backed junta with it's next door neighbor and 'cousin" while they were hosting an Olympics!
Congratulations on your fine effortsin getting us to this point! Hope your nights are filled with pleasant dreams!!!
Grandmaster Putin's Golden Trap
Dmitry Kalinichenko
Fort Russ
18 November
SUMMARY via excerpts from the 3052-word post:
The game is over… In chess the situation in which Putin has put the West, led by the US, is called "time trouble"…
After realizing its failure in Ukraine, the West, led by the US, set out to destroy Russian economy by lowering oil prices…
Last time, under President Reagan, such actions of the West's lowering of oil prices led to 'success' and the collapse of USSR. But history does not repeat itself all the time. This time things are different for the West. Putin's response to the West resembles both chess and judo, when the strength used by the enemy is used against him, but with minimal costs to the strength and resources of the defender…
No matter how strange it may seem, but right now, Putin is selling Russian oil and gas only for physical gold.
Putin is not shouting about it all over the world. And of course, he still accepts US dollars as an intermediate means of payment. But he immediately exchanges all these dollars obtained from the sale of oil and gas for physical gold!...
In this brilliantly played by Putin economic combination the physical gold is rapidly flowing to Russia, China, Brazil, Kazakhstan and India, the BRICS countries, from the reserves of the West. At the current rate of reduction of reserves of physical gold, the West simply does not have the time to do anything against Putin's Russia until the collapse of the entire Western petrodollar world.
To understand this, it is enough to look at the dynamics of growth of gold reserves of Russia and to compare this data with foreign exchange earnings of the RF coming from the sale of oil and gas over the same period…
…Putin sells Russian energy resources in exchange for…US dollars, artificially propped by the efforts of the West. With which he immediately buys gold, artificially devalued against the U.S. dollar by the efforts of the West itself!...
This truly brilliant economic combination by Putin puts the West led by the United States in a position of a snake, aggressively and diligently devouring its own tail...
Especially interesting in this context looks the November statement of the first Deputy Chairman of Central Bank of Russia Ksenia Yudaeva, which stressed that the CBR can use the gold from its reserves to pay for imports, if need be. It is obvious that in terms of sanctions by the Western world, this statement is addressed to the BRICS countries, and first of all China...
…the solitaire of Russian-Chinese relations is extremely successful for Moscow and Beijing. Russia buys goods from China directly for gold at its current price. While China buys Russian energy resources for gold at its current price. At this Russian-Chinese festival of life there is a place for everything: Chinese goods, Russian energy resources, and gold - as a means of mutual payment. Only US dollar has no place at this festival of life…
+1
Well played..
I understand that Russia is buying large quantities of gold (that's well publicized), but I have not heard that the dealings between China and Russia are in Gold - only yuan and rubles as I understand it. Also, I had not heard that Russia was using ALL its income from oil to buy gold.
Where did you get this information? Link please?
"Where did you get this information?"
The comment you're responding to clearly indicates that the excerpts are from the post at top.
"Link please?"
Click the very first line of the comment.
oops.....apologies
Ukraine - 600 T-72 in storage as of 2013. Small updates can be done in Ukraine or by blackmarket...
50 countries have t72 and some of them could sold them...
When the .gov idiots post this kind of obviously invalid crap for all to see, it merely proves that ALL .gov dipshits have the same mind set as Mr. Gruber.......all voters are stupid. We are too stupid to know that Russia has sold it's hardware all over the planet, and a bunch of it to Ukraine. What the .govies fail to grasp is that we are not too stupid to construct and operate guillotines.
They need to tweet a guide for "where's our fucking Gold?"
I guess this proves ISIS is a branch of the US military. I knew it all along!!!!
So...does nobody else remember the photos of US Stinger MANPADS in Syria early in the conflict (ostensibly from Libya)? I remember there being some dicussion about the Stingers being licensed for production in Turkey, but the images from Syria showed US manufacture on the ID plates.
I'm worried less about a T-72 in the Ukraine than I am about a Stinger that could literally be anywhere.
how to spot a Russian tank in the Ukraine?
shouldn't be that hard...they are all Russian.
more to the point the upgraded T-60 tanks with the composite armor that the Ukrainian Army uses look very, very similar to the T-72's, in fact if you compare them side by side one can see how difficult it would be to tell the two apart. you can also see just how easy it would be to mistake one for the other out in the streets.
of further intrest is how the western media changed it's story or could not agree with Ukrianian military officials on exactly what type of Russian tanks were being used to invade the Ukraine in the first place. Remember, during the August offensive by the pro-Russian and alleged regular Russian army units the Ukraine army was claiming they were under assault by what were clearly T-90 tanks. they were claiming that was the reason for the sudden change of fortunes on the battle field as the Uk armor was no match for the T-90 and there current stock of anti tank weapons could not consistantly penatrate the Russian's top line MBT's armor or defenses.
odly enough no video or photo was ever produced that showed a T-90 in combat in the Ukraine or even at rest or in transport for that matter. basicaly these colums of advanced tanks that routed the Ukrainian army must have come with invisiable camo as well because no evidence of there existence inside the Ukraine was ever produced.
of course not long after the media changed the story, photos and video of burnt out halls of destroyed tanks were posted on every MSM site. these photos and videos claimed to show, beyond a shadow of any doubt the wrecks of T-72 tanks which had to be Russian because the Uk army does not operate T-72's. the problem is these tanks were destroyed and if the two tanks look very similar when they are in one piece and operational, how easy is it really to tell the difference once they are blown up?
still working to pimp NATO's phantom Russian invasion which I see has come back to the sheeple public spotlight with a vengence for whatever reason. but thats ok Britian cause with the way things are going, Washington and London are going to make certian that that you all get the oppertunity to see Russian tanks for yourselves...
up close and personal.
just don't forget to duck when one points that 120 your way.
Remember in the Dirty Dozen when they switched their red arm bands for blue arm bands during the war games?
T60 was WWII light tank
Ukraine has T64 variants and upgraded
Ukraine has T72 variants
Ukrs lost many tanks, battle, abandoned and even sold to resistance.
T90 not even close
nothing here
Brits make trouble, always...
I see a lot of -1s. Did Josh Earnest just finish a press conference and log into ZH?
In true Banzai fashion, I knocked up a Russian and a Ukraine tank to help everyone recognise the difference. Sadly don't know how to upload the image :(
Yep, "wondering through Ukraine". So, this is a virtual reality exercise? Astral projection?
Eye was curious, end just wandering when ewe guys might higher and editor?

How about a guide to spotting inflatable tanks?
The U.S. aka "NATO" spent millions destroying fake tanks in Serbia back in '99.
How about beginners guide for spotting pedophiles?
and warmongers for dummies?

Ooops, made a wrong turn somwhere near Kiev...
Henry Kissenger says this is Russia's land so fuggedaboudit, and we need the NWO for real this time
.
fact
The BM stands for bowel movement
If they truly 100% believed Russia was in Ukraine to a significant extent, this would be ramped up like crazy. Billions of dollars worth of Abrams tanks, Apache helicopters, and A-10 bombers would be swarming to contain it. We've done this many times before. We supported Korea, Vietnam, and Afghanistan. The Russian/Chinese/communist threat has NEVER been taken lightly. Doing absolutely nothing leads me to believe it's not a real threat.
Does anyone care if Russian tanks are in Ukraine? Someone send me an email when they start shelling Kiev. Then I'll care. Maybe. Probably not.
Not one of those photos proves anything, except that someone can take photos.
There is no localisation evidence showing where the photos were taken.
British FCO propaganda. Again.
1. The West has OSCE mission in UA, which is basically nothing else, but CIA asset.
Those funny OSCE-NATO people should be in a position to shoot a photo of such tank, or report it at least. They didn't report anything close....
2.Ukraine has T64 only. All T-72 have been exported, remaining 5 do not have spare parts and are usles 50 tons of rusting iron.
I am not sure thay have exported all T-72 but definitely remember that they bought some from Hungary. There were photos of trains with T-72 tanks in the summer.
The banking mafia that rules USUK needs to terrorize the BRICS into backing off from replacing the dollar. Putin is the BRICS' point man so that means terrorizing Putin.
That's what Ukraine is really all about.
The critical factor isn't military but financial. The banking mafia crippled USUK by off-shoring the real economy and replacing it with banking fraud, loan sharking and debt pushing. That's their - entirely self-created - weak spot and why they are losing. They always lose in the end because they can't control their greed. Unfortunately not before they trash entire civilizations in the process.
Whoever the tallest poppy is the banking mafia will eventually arrive and destroy them from within.

How do you say "fuck the EU" in Russian?
fuckuzov eukov
(possibly)
We'll all know when Russia invades (again) Ukraine because Kiev will be under going a shock and awe attack and not this continual tank sightings that are continually dispropven by OSCE observers. Russia is providing the Novo Russians weapons, just not as much as the west is to the fascits in Kiev. Russian citizens are indeed entering the war against the Kiev Nazis just as American corproate mercenaries are or American citizens fought against the forces of fascism in the Spanish Civil War.
"How to spot a Russian Tank in Ukraine?"...
How bout...
How to identify a fascist neo-Zionist "Nazi" in Ukraine!
And as an added bonus...
How to shut down completely any voices of dissent in the West that contradict the MSM/VOA message!!!
i'd say yarosh won't be around to collect his pension. sick mofo that he is.
Ukraine doesn't have T-72BMs?
That must be news to Ukraine's tank batallions.
Actually, Ukraine prefers the slightly more "satanic" T-64s, just refurbed and upgraded. They sold most, if not all T-72s... that weren't in storage or refurb in the eastern part of their country.
Shhh... don't say "russian" any near Cameron. It's raining enough lately, we don't need a shit tsunami as well...
Brittish Embassy's handybook of lies. Don't need it and don't want it.
Also, just look for the giant USED label on the tanks. The USED ones belong to Ukraine.
#Wankers
Maidan proof be damned, let's proceed with Putin's persecution.
.
all tanks in UE are RU made.
T72's were mfg. in Kharkov
must be british sense of humor
I am an AMERICAN living permanently in ODESSA, UKRAINE since 2009.
More PROPAGANDA from Kiev!
Did it ever occur to anyone that the ONLY tanks which the Ukraine army possesses are RUSSIAN tanks? Granted, the Ukraine army has the OLDER version of the tank, but essentially ALL Ukrainian military equipment is Russian issue.
The general thinking of the "people on the streets" here is that the Kiev military will launch a MAJOR NEW OFFENSIVE (backed by NATO and U.S. "special forces" as advisors) against eastern Ukraine in the early Spring of 2015.
The people in general of southern Ukraine (especially the greater ODESSA area) despise the new Kiev government even more than they did the Yanukovitch regime! One must remember that ODESSA (and all cities along the coast, including ALL of Crimea) were settled thousands of years ago by peoples from all across the Mediterranean Sea and beyond - and so these cities contain a ECLECTIC mix of MANY different cultures, all of which are highly tolerant of each other.
The same is NOT true for northwestern Ukraine, which was strongly pro-NAZI before/during World War 2; and remains extremely authoritarian even today! Example: A few years ago my wife and I traveled to Lvov (Lviv) in northwestern Ukraine (not too far from the Polish border). While there we witnessed a HUGE parade with massive, cheering crowds lining the streets. WHAT were all these thousands of people CELEBRATING? Why, the marching down the main street of the old Ukrainian Brigades that fought WITH the Germans during World War 2 with some old veterans in their pro-German, Ukrainian military brigade uniforms, along with hundreds of younger people dressed up in similar uniforms (their NAZI and pro-German Ukrainian military brigades' old Nazi-style uniforms), as well as waving NAZI and pro-German Ukrainian military brigades' FLAGS!
These pro-German Ukrainian brigades were infamous as concentration camp guards for their brutal mistreatment of civilian "prisoners". Other pro-German Ukrainian brigades actually fought with German army combat units within Ukraine and the old Soviet Union. (Even the so-called later properly identified "Ivan-the Terrible" concentration camp guard (tried for war crimes just a decade ago) was part of a pro-German Ukrainian military brigade now celebrated each year in Lvov in northwestern Ukraine. The man initially identified as "Ivan-the-Terrible" by the name of Demyanyuk from Detroit was cleared as being the wrong person by Israeli authorities.)
Northwestern Ukraine and southern-eastern Ukraine (including Crimea) are like two DIFFERENT countries in their political ideologies, their cultures, and their tolerance of people of different cultures and languages, etc. This is one fact that is NEVER reported in Western media - or even understood by most U.S. government officials who should know better.

Thanks doktor for injecting sanity into dead corpse of american media but I think it'time to burry it.
Lame propaganda. Tank T72 BM (actually called BM T72) production has been EXCLUSIVELY licensed to Ukraine many years before. Russia does not have these particular tanks in their operational armament, and they were never produced in Russia. As a matter of fact it was one of premier export weapon for Ukrainian regime for long time. Ukraine itself was major weapon exporter in the world, which was possible due to cooperation with Russia.
Again, like with MH17, british spill bold lies directed to braindead western audiences.
Its spelled wandering dimwit
