Russia 'deploys 1,500 rusting mothballed tanks from Siberian dump'

This seems like a pretty standard play out of the "War of Attrition" playbook.

I personally wouldn't read too much into this...they have been sending old tanks into combat from the beginning of the conflict, if I am not mistaken...

Just one of those 'rusting mothballed tanks from the dump' can ruin your whole day.

probably tank bombs, but could just be tossing radioactive trash at the fight.

that would fit with dirtybomb propaghanda, they have however lost a lot of tanks.
