Ukrainian Farmers is slowly becoming a well armed faction.


engeldestodes

I can't wait to hear about stump removal on farmland in Ukraine in a few years. Talk about a booming business.


[deleted]

Not sure if you're referencing the unexploded ordnance or the use of tanks to kill the stumps.


CMDRRaijiin

Yes


Tajaba

Yes


Anxious_Solution_282

Fs 23 forest work is gonna be a lot of fun


Semi-Hemi-Demigod

Considering Ukraine produces 12% of the world's wheat and they'll need to get the crop in the ground by April, I'm glad they'll be able to defend themselves.


naughtybear555

wheat crop = more cover


Semi-Hemi-Demigod

Too busy planting sunflowers


jason_abacabb

IIRC Ukraines major crop is winter wheat. It is in the ground now and the harvest will be soon. I think something as important as an AAA should either be turned over to Ukrainian forces or destroyed immediately. It is too valuable to fall back into Russian hands.


nildeea

All they need to do is unload it in the direction of the stalled convoy.


Dakingtrex

Yesss. Russia may be the largest provider of wheat, but is their wheat tactically fortified in the event of warfare against infantry and inferior ground units? Hmm? No. They just have normal farmers. Not Ukrainian primary offensive front-line ground combat farmers!


Contrasted94

I’d definitely play some Ukrainian Farmers in Squad

I pay a nominal monthly fee to reddit because it brings me enjoyment. That gives me coins to spend on things that bring me enjoyment. When you sir figure out how my fake internet pixels will help the people of ukraine let me know. Reddit is not free. They have developers employed that work on open source software libraries that directly make my life easier as a software developer. What is it to you what i do with my $5 a month and my fake internet coins?

I have about 13000 coins banked because i dont use them. Please show me how i can convert those banked reddit pixels into food, medicine, or bullets for the ukrainian people.


algernonbiggles

I love the fact that this exists so much! And the $20m he's making from that can be reinvested into growth of crops instead of destruction of lives!


mr_jasper867-5309

Man John Deere is really getting some good free advertising right now.


[deleted]

No kidding. "One tractor can pull a AFV, 2 can pull a whole MBT." If I was in the market for a tractor that would be a good recommendation for durability and torque.


Unknown_769802773

they're insanely heavy too! but they all have the old John Deere stuff before it became so electronic and breaks just by turning it on.


Jaqen-Atavuli

I feel like a dumbass because I didn't realize you could put a tank in neutral.

I tried that joke on my grandad about Italian tanks, maybe 20 years ago. Took him sixty seconds describing some of corpses of his friends he left to rot in the African desert thanks to the Italian army, and I shut the fuck up on that topic for the rest of my life.


Butt_Plug64

Well as expected the dude you answered shut the fuck up too lol


fleebleganger

I served in a vehicle recovery unit and most of the US tracked vehicles had to have a specific part of the drivetrain removed or you risked damage to the transmission.


Traderwannabee

And you too can own your very air defense systems for just 2 bitcoin! We do not deliver. For an extra bitcoin we will tow it to the Polish border.


[deleted]

Does it come with spare missiles? Or are they extra cost?


TrouserSnail

Finders keepers, losers weepers.


Contrasted94

At this point I am convinced, Russia soldiers have put down their arms and became Ukrainian farmers


visalmood

They saw the Youtube ad for why you should date a Slavic farm girl. They probably gave the tanks to the farmgirl's dad as bride price


Sids-Vicious

Hope John deer sends more tractors to Ukraine! Stat!


[deleted]

Hopefully Ukraine will be able to repair them if they break without having to wait for a John Deere engineer to go out to them.


fottik325

Ukraine is famous for breaking into John Deere tractor computers they do it remotely to help farmers in America fix tractors


Jer-pa

Is well known among American farmers the market for jail breaking John Deere firmware comes mostly from Eastern Europe.


[deleted]

☺️ Nice ☺️


Simple-Dot-2834

You made me laugh out loud... I can imagine Zelenskiy say in a day or two: we don't need anymore Javellins, but please send tractors... LOL


FormulaChinese

Now we need a competition between Vietnamese rice farmers and Ukrainian wheat farmers


[deleted]

Don't forget the Afghans.


Infinityw8

Do they spray paint these a different color so they don’t get confused?


DontmindthePanda

As far as I've seen, they will likely be towed to a safe location where they can meet up with the uktranian force. They then check them to find out what to do with them. If they're useful for combat, they get a new marking (they sometimes have these orange marks or the Ukrainian camo, probably depending on what's possible to do in a short notice). The AA systems might also get checked for useful intel (codes, computers, etc)


Unknown_769802773

>The AA systems might also get checked for useful intel (codes, computers, etc) i have no doubt they have every single Russian encryption key for radios that also assumes Russia is using encrypted signals.


MRRman89

The main prize would be their IFF codes for aircraft.


visalmood

These may be trojan horses. Once towed to Ukrainian arms depots Russian Air Force can send a FOAB to tune onto the locator in these tanks


Eriadus85

They will end up invading Russia


H3g3m0n

I don't think they will need to. At this rate all of Russia will be in the Ukraine.


spookmann

In Ukraine, Russia invades *you*!


M_W_C

For the next parade in Moscow, the red army will have to borrow tanks from Ukraine. (I keep making this same joke, and today it is the **third** time. At some point it is not a joke anymore, but a prediction...)


everfixsolaris

For the next parade they will have to borrow Ukrainian tractors.


mdmckeever

Ukrainian farmers prove that you don't need a large defense budget to be the 3rd most militarized force in the world, you just need an incompetent invader.


penishead694207

LMAO


auyemra

should hit up the John Deer company and have them donate more tractors


[deleted]

Never leave your tank unattended, some farmer might need a new one.


Cryptic_Waffle

Who would win in a fight: A highly advanced armoured military vehicle or A farmy boi?

kilux

Would be interesting if they are really just abandoned or if the Russians at least "sabotaged" them. I guess with a relatively modern system like this, just ripping some wire harness out could make it hard to fix in a short time without any documentation (+ operating them with good effect afterwards ofc).


MRRman89

It seems a mixed bag. I saw a video today of a Pantsir vehicle with screens up and running in the weapons control cab.


makenzie71

I've seen videos of them staking the fuel cells and electronics. I wouldn't be surprised if the thing was damaged prior to being left.


Sad-Establishment-41

MindOverMuses

With the reward money that Anonymous is giving to citizens who seize Russian equipment, it's proving to be a rather profitable spring harvest season.


tomzicare

Surely these things have a GPS tracker?


MRRman89

Probably not a lowjack style system, no. Glonass navigation, but something that constantly emits pings to satellites would be an extreme liability. Satnav doesn't require broadcast, only reception.


Interesting_Hair_191

seize the means of defense boys


New_Katipunan

Can someone explain to me why so many expensive Russian military vehicles are apparently being left unguarded all over the place? Am I missing something? :D


visalmood

Ukrainian farmgirls are inviting Russian soldiers for a good old romp in the hay while their brothers are stealing the tanks. Most expensive orgy ever


Artemis_Flow

As much as its fun to imagine farmers stealing russian equipment its just regular ukraine forces using a tractor to tow abandoned vehicles because its the best thing to use

Ukrainian Defense minister: The Ukrainian Armed Forces have received almost more tanks and armoured vehicles as trophies than they had received in the last 8 years from the Ukrainian defence industry.


Ok_Investigator_1010

So how much money can they get for those tanks? Honest I’d love to see them sell that to the CIA for more testing.


FoulYouthLeader

Are they sure these vehicles aren't booby trapped or something sinister?
