Ukrainian farmers seem to have discovered that if and when Russian military vehicles are unmatched, they can be easily stolen with the help of a tractor.
The Daily Caller reported, In a video tweeted by @Kyruer, a tractor could be seen towing what appeared to be a Russian Tor-M2 down the road. A Tor-M2 is a surface-to-air missile system used by the Russian military. According to Defence Blog, multiple vehicles and Russian assets have been captured since the invasion of Ukraine started. It’s not clear if the Tor-M2 in the video was recently taken or if Russia lost in the early days of the invasion.
This video is not the only footage that depicts Ukrainian tractors zipping down the street with Russian military assets hitched to the back..
Another, almost identical video that surfaced last week shows a blue tractor towing an armored vehicle stolen from the Russian military down the road.
Not long after, yet another video surfaced. This video was a little different… it depicted a few Ukrainians in a personal car driving down the road. They come across a Russian armored vehicle parked on the road and throw a Molotov cocktail.
Just as they pass, and throw the cocktail very briefly a blue tractor can be seen parked just in front of, and hitched to the Russian armor. It’s likely that the rebels in their car were not aware of the farmer’s tank swiping.
