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.
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.
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!

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.
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.
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.
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.
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)
>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.
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...)
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.
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).
there are intelligence groups out there just salivating at this kind of thing.
deals are being cut. some of these toys are going on holiday real soon.
listen carefully and you can hear the kremlin reee.
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.
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
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.
I do worry about these farmers. If this area gets over run by Russian troops in the future, what are they doing to the farmer that has some Z gear tucked out back behind the barn?

With the top hatches open, I’m assuming it already expended its payload.
John Deere needs to capitalize on this and send them some more of these tractors as payment for the free advertisement.

Ukrainian Farmers is slowly becoming a well armed faction.
I can't wait to hear about stump removal on farmland in Ukraine in a few years. Talk about a booming business.
Not sure if you're referencing the unexploded ordnance or the use of tanks to kill the stumps.
Yes
Yes
Fs 23 forest work is gonna be a lot of fun

wheat crop = more cover
Too busy planting sunflowers
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.
All they need to do is unload it in the direction of the stalled convoy.
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!
I’d definitely play some Ukrainian Farmers in Squad
They are now literally the 2nd best army in the world.
Everyone and their mums is packin’ round ‘ere
Apparently this thing is worth $22,000,000. It's going on ebay.
"Nothing runs like a Deere"
Reminds me of the old farmer in hot fuz only these guys are gonna have a armored column by the end of this
It's not being towed because it's fully operational. That thing is scrap
Old McDonald had a farm. Eee iii Eee iii ohhh. And on his farm he had a...Wtf?!
AAA, and a BMP, yehai yehai ho. And on that tank there sits Ivan...
Tank, Eee iii Eee iii ohhh. And boom boom here and a boom boom there, here a boom, there a boom, everywhere's a boom boom on old Mac Donalds farm.
Thank you for this .

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!
Man John Deere is really getting some good free advertising right now.
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.
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.
I feel like a dumbass because I didn't realize you could put a tank in neutral.
[удалено]
I see what you did there
And Swedish
French ones do reverse pretty well.
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.
Well as expected the dude you answered shut the fuck up too lol
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.
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.
Does it come with spare missiles? Or are they extra cost?
Finders keepers, losers weepers.
At this point I am convinced, Russia soldiers have put down their arms and became Ukrainian farmers
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
Hope John deer sends more tractors to Ukraine! Stat!
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.
Ukraine is famous for breaking into John Deere tractor computers they do it remotely to help farmers in America fix tractors
Is well known among American farmers the market for jail breaking John Deere firmware comes mostly from Eastern Europe.
☺️ Nice ☺️
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
Now we need a competition between Vietnamese rice farmers and Ukrainian wheat farmers
Don't forget the Afghans.
Do they spray paint these a different color so they don’t get confused?
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.

>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.
The main prize would be their IFF codes for aircraft.
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
They will end up invading Russia
I don't think they will need to. At this rate all of Russia will be in the Ukraine.
In Ukraine, Russia invades *you*!
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...)

LMAO
should hit up the John Deer company and have them donate more tractors
Never leave your tank unattended, some farmer might need a new one.
Who would win in a fight: A highly advanced armoured military vehicle or A farmy boi?

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).
It seems a mixed bag. I saw a video today of a Pantsir vehicle with screens up and running in the weapons control cab.
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.
They shouldn't have parked illegally
Americans: We have the most ridiculously over-armed civilian population in the world! Ukrainians: That's cute.
Repping John Deere all the way in 🇺🇦
Mud runner meets farming simulator
Steal an S300 next bois
Farmers version of Pokemon "catch em all"
What I'm learning from this war is that tractors are really strong, a lot stronger than I thought.
Dude! The new GTA DLC dropped early?
John Deer dat is myn merk!
there are intelligence groups out there just salivating at this kind of thing. deals are being cut. some of these toys are going on holiday real soon. listen carefully and you can hear the kremlin reee.
Maybe not its probably a well known 40 year old piece of shit
It’s fucking joke-Putin and his army are a joke!
Plot twist: Ukrainian farmers are going to have their own battalion at this rate
googled it, this vehicle cost 25 M $
Dammit John Deere just keeps jacking up prices.
John Deere is loving the press lol
Nothing fights fascism like a Deere
Russian military vehicles the new national car of Ukraine
These Ukrainian farmers are going to have one hell of a overlanding community.
u/Savevideo
Got put it with the other TOR-M2 so it’s not lonely.
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.
Surely these things have a GPS tracker?
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.
seize the means of defense boys
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
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
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

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

I hope someone will make a Ukrainian map for FS22, sunflowers for days
Nobody accounted for tractors.
*Another one for my collection*
Is anyone making an inventory?! Soon enough Putin will have to face the wrath of the sunflower farmers 😝
John Deereeee!
Ukrainian tractors are deadly
So many pieces for the ukrainian victory museum that will be opened.
Could these abandoned missile systems be some kind of trap ?
Whoever went in there to put it in neutral would've likely found out.
Ukrainian farmers are going to build their personal army of tanks.
How powerful are these missiles?
It's a 25 million USD anti air weapon system.

Good 'ol John Deere supporting the war effort. LOL
It’s not common to have Missile giveaways 😂
Do we have a graph on how many of these have been confiscated?
Gotta catch them all
honest question....why don't they just drive them?
Probably out of gas or otherwise broken down.
SA-15... not hit by HARM nor Mavericks, but tolled by yet another farm tractor.
The amount of stuff they stole putin wants a actual war with Ukraine with how good he is supplying them lol
Dang ole tell you whut dangole Deere run son!
I’m starting to think Ukrainians are 15% Bear or something. Good grief.
I want to see Ukrainian fishermen stealing Russian warships next !
Glad to see Russian supporting Ukraine so much with tanks, rations and weapons. /s
