  1. “When the first one dies, the second takes the rifle”

  7. I am sorry but maybe stop downplaying Russia? They are still gaining ground, which proly means it’s not as bad for them as these articles are trying to make it out.

    Ukraine is still losing ground but here we are for the entirety of this year saying “Anyyyy second now Russia is about to run out of shit”

  8. shakhnazarov is a pompous self obsessed poser. Wearing sunglasses indoors and at night really tells you all you need to know

  9. OTOH, one can read it the other way: “a single Russian film studio had more combat-ready battle tanks used as props, than the entire Baltic states combined in their armed forces”.

  10. “Donated”, Putin and other Nazi friends owns film and news studios

  12. Nooo! Russia is so rich that even Film Studios can donate Tanks as charity.

  13. well they can still rely on steven seagal to do the heavy lifting for their film industry…. figuratively speaking

  14. There must be a way to tell these fools in Russian and NK that no one actually takes them seriously. The whole world knows they’re a joke.

  15. “Donated.”

    Later that day, the film studio fell out of a window.

  17. Don’t worry. These will still be just props (for a very short time)

  18. Well they could be used for spare parts too. Especially the barrels.

  20. Did they also donate the actors who drove these tanks? No problem, Putin will take them free with the tanks!

  21. Wait, the first name of the chairman of Mosfilm is “Karen”? Well that explains a lot.

    And the dude says his studio is on par with big Hollywood studios, even name dropping a studio like Warner Brothers. Well looking up their companies I saw the 2017 revenue from Mosfilm was just over $20 million, whereas Warner Bros was like $2.6 BILLION. So that’s a lie. The Hollywood studios actually decimate them in terms of revenue

  22. And that’ll last them about a week at the rate they are being destroyed by Ukraine.

  23. damn what’s next they gonna ask isis for their Toyota’s and their boiled ammo they gave them back in the 90’s

  25. I was waiting for Russia to throw land leased Shermans since the start. I hope it’s gonna be real

  27. “We have 4k drones footages of Ivan in Ukraine now… We don’t need your fancy Films anymore”

  29. Okay what is Russians end goal now? Because given the losses coming in it feels like in the next decade they’re going to face issues they are not prepared for.

  31. The real news is not that a russian studio donate tanks to the army but that a russian movie studio have a more numerous armored force than a lot of European countries. ( and it is like 25% of the french tank number)
