Watch as Russian tank commander takes out FIVE of his own men using turret in blundering footage

THIS is the shocking moment a Russian tank commander wiped out his OWN troops in a manoeuvre blunder.
The tank swerved out of control before hitting comrades on another vehicle with its turret.
Footage showed at least six men being struck off their tank but miraculously, they manage to get back up and run to safety.
One man is knocked to the ground and stays down for some time before being able to get up and stagger away.
It was shared by the Ukraine's Ministry of Defence through Twitter as they mocked their enemy's embarrassing error.

I sleep better every night thinking about the Russians as potential battlefield foes. This DOES go a long way toward explaining the overall Warsaw Pact land strategy in Europe: Send in the (East) Germans, Poles, Czechs, Hungarians, etc. FIRST, because the only thing the Russians behind them might be good for would be as blocking units. NATO would chew up Russian regulars and then the Eastern Europeans would mop up the rest FOR us.

[@darcgibson5099]

Yeah shocking this is all you see. Almost like what you get to see is carefully curated by Ukraine and it’s puppet masters in the west. Did you get to see that platoon of Ukrainian soldiers standing at the side of the road as a Russian tank rolls up 20 feet in front of them as they’re laughing and joking, without even checking if it’s friendly or not? War is chaotic and unpredictable. One of the leading causes of death in the US military in its late 20th century/early 21st century campaigns was accidents and friendly fire. Remember when they massacred journalists and laughed? Then lit up a car full of children? Then bombed a wedding? Then levelled a medicines sans frontiers hospital intentionally? Then repeatedly dropped ordinance on their allies despite countless friendly fire calls? Again, war is chaos. Especially with tanks and men. Especially with two militaries that share almost entirely the same arms and armour. Especially with conscripted men. Hell, US draftees in the Vietnam war were intentionally murdering their officers, or dropping millions of tons of bombs on civilians, poisoning their own soldiers with known-carcinogens - and millions of Vietnamese civilians - and refusing to admit or pay for their healthcare. This is war. The US are renowned for annihilating families and buildings and historical monuments, even the Chinese embassy, their allies in the Yugoslav wars.

[@starwolfcyberlight4546]

I mean it could probably true, they even hired a medic for god sakes to drive a tank and lead it to the battle field with just basic training. The reason for this is that after the first months of battle, the most experienced tank regiments suffered heavy casualties probably during the invasion of Kiev and now the Russian army are left with no soldiers who can even drive a tank. That they trained people with even basic knowledge on how to operate a tank and put them on the battlefield... Yeah that's how desperate the Russian army is

@@victorzvyagintsev1325 Regardless, I’m not a ‘tankie’ but crews (in particular the commander) should always be aware of where the gun barrel is pointing, friendlies/objects nearby and things like the length of the vehicle behind for turning corners etc. It’s called situational awareness. Just because vision is limited, there’s no excuse for this.

[@coatofarms4439]

Issues with tank barrels are common even for casemate/turret less tanks. They either get stuck on something get rammed into the ground when going down slopes or crash into things like this. The infantry are being idiots crowding on a vehicle which is likely to be hit or a-tract fire while the tank itself is practically blind and can’t see much. Idiots assume the tank is like Warthunder and the commander has a 180 degree 3rd person view of the tank when it’s not his fault the infantry where seemingly trying to get hit by fire.
