The New York TimesIn an epic battle of tanks, Russia was routed, repeating earlier mistakes
The NYT brings us inside a three-week tank battle in southern Ukraine. It may have been the biggest tank battle of the war thus far, and it appears to have been a "stinging setback" for the Russians.
KURAKHOVE, Ukraine — Before driving into battle in their mud-spattered war machine, a T-64 tank, the three-man Ukrainian crew performs a ritual.
The commander, Pvt. Dmytro Hrebenok, recites the Lord’s Prayer. Then, the men walk around the tank, patting its chunky green armor.
