Russia would never name it because Israel is one of countries they still engage somewhat diplomatically due to Syria

They told us in the basic training to aim for the center of the joint where the turret meets the body, especially if you get a side shot; this obviously was against Russian tanks and other stuff with turrets. Then again, they also told that those un-upgraded M72 LAWs do more than just piss off the MBT coming at you, so they really weren't counting on us non-frontline guys to do the antitank operations for the brigade.

If you get a side shot, a M72 LAW will penetrate everywhere where it doesn't hit an ERA panel.

This really isn't appreciated enough, MBTs have no meaningful side armor. That's the difference between a MBT and a heavy tank, MBTs stack all their protection on frontal arcs and for this tradeoff they are really loving hard to kill from that direction while still being usefully fast. The M1 Abrams is one of the best-armored tanks in the world. The rear side hull of the M1 can be penetrated by a pre-WW2 AT rifle.

So if you have a lovely, 70's vintage AT weapon, you need to get side shots. But if you get those, yes, you absolutely can expect to kill the tank.

So this mobik guy did a selfie-video appeal about his lovely "prepared positions" and all the other Russian army fuckery and was

...thrown in a pit by his superiors and then taken out of Ukraine.
https://twitter.com/ChrisO_wiki/status/1619441529600499712
The soldier says his unit is wracked by drunkenness, which he says is "thriving among the personnel". They are taking their lead from their commander, who is himself regularly drunk and beats his men.

"He constantly talks drunk on the radio, sends someone away, swears in foul language, threatens to shoot someone. Since the first day we arrived, he has been threatening to shoot people."

The commander has surrounded himself with guards to protect himself from his subordinates, who are drinking and "constantly stabbing each other and fighting with their rifle butts."

He says the tensions in the regiment led to a murder that took place before the New Year during "a drunken brawl in a wooded area". The victim "came at his assailants with someone else's gun and got a bullet in the head. What were they fighting about? Only a sleeping bag."


Everybody stabbing each other, and a few murders, was my boot camp experience too, I don't know what he's complaining about.
