Absolutely. The armbands or prominent coloured stripes on the lapel of one’s body armour, are as follows:
White - Russian main army
Silver - Chechens
Red - LPR/DPR Russian Donbas militia
Yellow - Ukrainian volunteers
Blue - Ukrainian formal soldiers

With everyone wearing camo as well as prominent identifier colours, it’s like a paintball game from Hell!

Did they maybe mistake the tank for one of theirs? Why the fuck would a gaggle of fighters be just standing there and not notice the tank? Bizarre and hilarious.

The charge would do a lot of damage at that range and there are giant shotgun shells that can be loaded into American tanks I assume the russians have similar.

I was thinking the same, they don't get anything on the radio about incoming enemy and assume the tank is one of theirs. There's this thing called herd mentality where if some people do one thing the rest do the same.

could have been a purpose built anti personnel munition or with a fuze adjusted to explode right out of the barrel. Wow, those guys got chopped to meat balls, smooshed inside the AFV treads, heads burst open. amazing.

Maybe they are already trying to take control?

There is 100% confirmation that the tank was Russian. The real debate is whether the Russian tank orchestrated a deceptive ambush, or both sides mistook one another for friendlies, and the tank only fired when being surprised that they were in fact Ukrainians.

Currently, the Ukrainians in Kharkiv, where this incident took place, have released all prison inmates in the city and armed them, while giving them the task to shoot at any civilians leaving the city.
Currently, if you are in Kharkiv and attempt to leave the city, your best outcome is most likely to be robbed of all your belongings and sent back into the city by these patrols, if you are not shot on sight.
These tactics are organized by the Azov Regiment, which is basically a massive brigade, if not larger, that has about 10% Azov and Right Sector guys, all of whom are hardcore Nazis, present in all other divisions in the Ukrainian army. In this way, they are exactly like Soviet commissars who kill their own civilians, and their own retreating troops, like the Soviet NKVD intelligence service secret police and commissars during World War II, while likewise being present in nearly all units in the army.
Concerning the broader Ukraine, Dick Cheney’s neocon imperialist, regime change apprentice, Victoria Nuland, who is ethnically Jewish from a family from Odessa that was ethnically cleansed by Russians in the nineteenth century, and hates Russia just like Madeleine Albright, for example- worked, after being Cheney’s assistant in starting the Iraq War, for Obama with starting the Libya War. Then they had her in 2014 start the Ukraine War with organizing the 2014 Maidan Coup and post-coup government, which she literally picked by hand on a leaked phone call. On this leaked phone call, she literally picks the exact post-2014 coup Ukrainian government by hand, saying the Klitschkos are better for the long term, and “fuck the EU.” Nuland works closely with a Ukrainian oligarch named Kolomoyski, who literally financed and created Azov and Right Sector with Nuland, immediately prior to the 2014 Maidan Coup, and whose TV channel is the one that made Zelensky a star actor, by creating the show in its entirety that made him famous. Kolomoyski then financed Zelensky to become the president, and now controls him along with controlling Azov and Right Sector, making Zelensky a complete puppet of Kolomoyski and his Nazis in Azov and Right Sector, who control the Ukrainian military and the politics of Ukraine. It is rumoured that Kolomoyski organized Israeli snipers to start the 2014 Maidan Coup by firing on civilians in order to exacerbate the unrest to facilitate the coup.
Now, it is in the interests of the US to keep the civilians of Ukrainian cities as human shields and have all deserters killed, because the US has tricked the Ukrainians and the world into thinking the Ukrainians are significantly winning the war. They are drastically losing, in fact. Nuland and the US are gladly sacrificing every last Ukrainian to fight Russia in order to guarantee that Germany and France do not build ties with Russia, so that in doing so, Germany and France do not de facto become sovereign with no longer being vassals of US imperial control over them, by leaving NATO and the EU through developing being neutral towards Russia.
Neutrality towards Russia, which automatically causes Germany and France to de facto become sovereign from US foreign policy, is a policy that that the EU and NATO, which are the main political establishment arms of US imperialist control of Europe, are vehemently opposed to. Therefore, the US has no reverse-gear, and sees facilitating this war and making it as bad as possible, instead of finding peace, in its interests of saving its EU and NATO imperialistic control over Europe- and Germany and France in particular, which have been attempting to develop sovereignty through closer relations with Russia, before this war was pushed on Russia by Nuland, Zelensky, their Nazis, as well as decades of relentless NATO and EU eastward expansionism, and endless Western propaganda that it was Russia starting the war. In fact, the Ukrainins prepared 70,000 troops and were about to attack Donbas, after having killed 14,000 innocent civilians there in the last 7 years through indiscriminate shelling of civilian areas. By contrast, Russia has striven to minimize civilian casualties and not raze cities, like US bombing campaigns always do, like in Baghdad, Fallujah, Mosul, Raqqa, Tripoli, etc.
Do not believe the propaganda lies. They are the same lies as about Iraq, Libya, Hunter’s laptop, the virus, gender and race propaganda, etc.
It is literally an empire of lies, as Putin objectively, correctly stated. Wake up from your brainwashing compression chamber, if you want to actually connect to REALITY!

Sorry, not sorry, bitch!
