| #14 So kind of a Bradly IFV knockoff turret with a tank lower chassis, and smaller troop compartment? |

| #13 This isn't the first time they have been used in combat, though the previous times the conditions were much more in control. |

| #12 Are the new vehicles immune to Ukraine propaganda. Heh. This is a new vehicle designed to support tanks in urban warfare, As I understand, they took a T-72 chassis and put a new turret on it with a pair of 30mm autocannons that can elevate high enough to target the upper floors of a building, something a T-72 cannot do. It also has anti-tank missiles and grenade launchers. |

| #11 From the article: "a platoon of Terminator military vehicles were deployed and used for the first time in battle in the Donbas" This is what, three vehicles? I'm betting the entire Russian army has maybe ten, in various states of function. Bear in mind prototype armored vehicles have been identified in the kill zone north of Kiev. |

| #9 Depending on where the ammo is stored, the turret might not jump as high as a T-72/90 does when struck, so they've got that going for them. |

| #8 Throwing stuff you were holding back into a battle usually means it isn't going as originally planned. |

| #3 The "Terminators" will be quickly become a High Priority Target (HPT) and subsequently terminated. Ukie anti-tank gunners must be salivating. I can't imagine the premiums or bounties that will be paid for confirmed kills. |

| #2 Are the new vehicles immune to Ukraine propaganda.Certainly not in the western media. |
