      For people who want to know what’s being said:

      The shop lady: The soldier bought two bottles of vodka here. He was already drunk.

      The owner of the house: I tried to use my army benefits to build the house, but they didn’t help. So I built it myself, but still someone came and broke it down.

      Military official: It wasn’t intentional. Besides, there is ice one the roads. The tank driver was absolutely sober because he was going to field training.

      I’m sorry, but this story is so classically Russian.. ;)

      Ahhh good old motherland, it’s reasons like that why I left.

    3. mathias says:

      This is tracked anti aircraft missile vehicle, not tank. But size is like tanks, is it based on tank body? Anyone knows exact mark?

      • I.D says:

        It is “Tunguska”, equipped with both AA-missles and auto-cannons, more deadly than it’s predecessor, “Shilka”.

      • Scrat335 says:

        That is a Tunguska anti aircraft vehicle, I believe it has 4 30mm cannons and can carry missiles also. It’s a one of a kind dedicated AA vehicle designed specifically for that purpose. The only thing it has in common with a tank is the caterpillars and general appearance.

        That drunken driver needs to clean latrines forever, the officer doesn’t have a clue. I heard they admitted to the accident and will pay for the repair of the house.

    4. Salocin.TEN says:

      Those chicks running out and screaming at this huge tank.
      Classic!

      A similar incident happened in California, where a former army soldier stole a tank and went on a full rampage…

      http://youtube.com/watch?v=xZWhQDEMH4Y

      According to witnesses, he was waving and smiling as he drove past, crushing cars along the way.

    5. Nivek says:

      It looks like a 2S6 Tunguska.

    6. Rimini says:

      In USA, a tank driver would be on a killing spree of destruction. Americans love to kill. Americans love to break things and spill blood.

      In russia, the answer is always “drunk” .

      Russia has greater number of smart people, even if 75% or rusians a alcoholics. Except for Ukranians. They decrease the average.

      Cinderblock house offers no insulation. shouldnt houses in russia should be made of wood ??

      russians have plenty of wood

      • Rodriguez says:

        Don`t speak a bullshit! All of you! Of course, this tank driver was drunk, but you haven`t right to say about everyone russians. If you wanna some statistics - the european drunk nation #1 is a Britain, #2 is Chech Republic, #3 is eSStonia, than is a Germany, Even USA have a 14th place. Russia only in 18-th place. Пнятно?!

      • I love this comment, “Russia has greater number of smart people, even if 75% are alcoholics”.
        Dumbass, if they’re alcoholics and they’re drunk they are not SMART any longer are they, stupid cossack.

        Stop making excuses for idiot because you sound like idiot’s mother.

        • Rimini says:

          Dont be one of the stupid sober people.

          Drunk people can of course be very intelligent.

          Being “a drunk” or an alcoholic means you have a genetic predisposition to alcoholism, not that you’er stupid.

          Some genius drunks

          Mozart

          Poe

          Dostoyevsky

          Caravaggio, Toulouse-Lautrec

          Kerouac

          Joyce

          the list goes on fool, put down crack pipe.

          end of lesson.

          • Don’t forget Bukowski, but NONE of them got into a tank and
            drove into somebody’s house. Again you sound like idiot’s mother. Why else do you defend him, because he is Russian?
            I think it was you who stole the crack pipe.

            • And don’t forget Yeltsin, the famous stand up comedian and band conductor who run a country in his free time.

              • Jacko says:

                I visited Vladivostok Russia for 2 weeks and it seemed like every man I met in public was drunk. I know that the Russian people are very intelligent, but it would help themselves and there country if they would stay sober.

            • Rimini says:

              I am not defending drunk tank driver. I am defending drunks in general, as people not inherently stupid.

              Do you understand the distinction?

              • No you’re NOT! You’re attacking people in another country.
                You’re attacking ME! What have I ever done to you or your country? Nothing! My government? That’s another story, but take your beef to my government instead of slinging infantile attacks on people who are, in essence no different than you are. We’re people, and some of the people who visit this site are Americans.
                This American has worked with Russians for many years.
                I am used to folks like you, always looking for someone to piss on.
                Go please, drink your shit water and shut up.
                America loves you very soon with more McDonald’s poison hamburgers which you will gobble up while complaining.

                • Rimini says:

                  Nobody believes you work in russia. Youre too dumb.

                  The internet is the perfect place to expose fools like you for the cry baby mental defectives you are.

                  You know less about russia than anyone on this site.

                  pretend to be expert on other things.

                  Take your balls out of your purse and be a man and stop whining.

                  Signed,

                  A person who has pity on russian wannabes and mongoloids like you.

                  • Did I say I worked “IN RUSSIA”.
                    Check your glasses. Maybe they are in the bottom of your last vodka bottle, durak.

                    • Smith says:

                      The tank driver was drunk, no doubt about it, but looking over this site, it does seem like a disproportionate number of the posts are about drunk people, bad roads, and general decay. These things exist everywhere, not just in Russia. Here in Newfoundland, not a day goes by when someone doesn’t turn over an ATV because they were drunk, and the roads are barely drivable sometimes. It’s a fact of life, and I wouldn’t mind seeing some good things about Russia.

                      • All I can say is that we watched your people suck on the government tit for seventy fucking years, and when we tried to tell you that you were sucking on a sour tit you didn’t believe us.
                        A few years ago you tried democratically represented constitutional repbublic with a capitalist economy for about five seconds, then gave up because it didn’t start working instantly, and because you were too stupid and lazy to keep the gangsters from taking over.

                        Now you’ve put your support behind a strongman thug, who plays ball with the mobsters and runs the joint like the American mafia ran Las Vegas, and you think you’ve reached a level where you can snipe at us. Most of us are too stupid, scared or mentally lazy to realize that we’re going down the shitter, but you lack the moral strength to extend a hand of guidance to the very people who sent you wheat and corn when you were fucking starving.

                        Some of us are smart enough to know posturing when we see it and we’re also old enough to remember when your people were on the short end of the stick.

        What is wrong with Ukrainians?..

    7. Beer is suck ! I love only vodka and big cocks

    8. Kris says:

      Great story.

      Even if it were rubbish though, I’d still visit just for the comments!

    9. Stupid russians, drinking vodka is all they can do, unless they leave Russia and live like normal people outside of it.

      • Rodriguez says:

        Хахахахах! Молодец как всегда в своем дешевом духе!

      • Alex_AW says:

        Not all the russians are like you. Main part of them is able to stay normal people inside Russia.

        • You think they normal, or you are normal, but looking outside of Russia most russians look like bunch of idiots. Believe me I lived in Russia and travel a lot. Russia is one of the worst places on earth!!!

          • Alex_AW says:

            You are very bad diagnostician. You are not able to find difference between idiotism and disorder. And judging by your other comments ‘idiotism’ and ‘idiot’ are your favorite words and you put them everywhere.
            If I wore Miss India I would say: ‘russians fake is so poor, i feel sorry for him’.

            • Alex_AW says:

              I wanted to write not ‘wore’ but ‘were’. Miss India I’m really so sorry for my English :(

              • oh_yeah says:

                oh yeah, DISORDER - veru well put. during the communism there was too much oreder, in post-communism - no order…
                and at this is the perfect state for the “russians fake” to take his anger at…let him talk, its just yaping anyways. He lived in russian and he wants to say that for the time being he had not met a sigle good, or kind, or intellinget, or polite, or honest, or sober russian?
                please, stop generalizing. Be more accepting of reality and think calm - every coutry in the world has good people and bad people, polite people and rude people, honest people and thiefs. so dont be soo negative and give some credit to the “good side of the medal”.

    10. Kapycta says:

      Hahaha… talk about being in “the drunk tank”…

    11. Useful Idiot says:

      Yes, it’s not a proper tank, but a self-propelled AA system. AA stands for Anti-Aircraft, but in this case it could be Alcoholics Anonymous.

      The funniest thing about the army representative’s comment (”he was not drunk, the road was just slippery”) is that the driver REVERSED the vehicle through the fence and into the wall. So it doesn’t matter how good the road was, he wasn’t even looking at it.

      But there’s a solution to this. Nowadays you can install a breathalyzer to your car. It prevents the car being started unless you pass the breathalyzer test. Maybe Russian army should include these devices with their vehicles, just so that we’d avoid such collateral damage as shown above. Then again, if a war started, it’d then take one or two extra days for the army to fully mobilize… so I guess it’s better for soldiers to train under “realistic conditions” (ie. drunk).

    12. Miss India says:

      Thats what russian soldiers are best at. They were kicked outta Afghanistan and they cannot even secure their own territories. They are scared like little chicken to go to caucusus. Imagine an American marine is scared of going to Florida or Nevada LOL! Russian soldiers prefer not to set their feet inside many parts of Russia cause it is a broken and dangerous country full of ethnic conflict and nationalist extremists. I feel sorry for them :(

      • Agree! I was in Chechnya once, some russian soldiers(18 years old boys) were crying, they`ve been scared to death. :-(((

      • D says:

        “Imagine an American marine is scared of going to Florida or Nevada LOL! Russian soldiers prefer not to set their feet inside many parts of Russia cause it is a broken and dangerous country full of ethnic conflict and nationalist extremists. I feel sorry for them ”

        Tell an american marine to go into any major U.S. city slums alone and they WILL be scared. LOL! at your face you fucking cunt.

        • Apparently you missed a lot of the Hurricane Katrina coverage where American soldiers AND Blackwater mercenaries were confiscating firearms from law abiding citizens while still others were marching through the slums unchallenged.

          • D says:

            I apparently did miss that, because all I saw was people looting and robbing and no american soldier in sight. I heard they finally did come in, after everyone was done commiting crimes. By then, all that was left of the slums was a bunch of broken down houses…. they must have been so brave to venture into that.

            Hurricane Katrina is a special situation….. I’m talking about walking into the slums of philadelphia (currently the murder capital of the U.S.) alone. You WILL be harrased by gang members no matter who you are.

            • I was there, idiot.
              You watched television.

              • D says:

                Really?, you seem to be everywhere. Because I’m sure being on the streets gave you a total picture of the situation. Everyone who has any knowledge of Katrina will tell you that government officials sat on their hands for a few days while there was total chaos in the streets. American guard waited on the outskirts of the city while regular police officers were either trying to be heros or vigilanties. I suggest you try watching the news, Idiot.

                • You’re not addressing the topic of the discussion.
                  Instead you’re turning it into something personal, which means you have a personal problem. The subject, near as I can tell and as stupid as it is, is the suggestion that American military personnel are afraid to enter the streets of certain American inner cities, to which I reply a resounding “BULLSHIT”. Most of them grew up there.
                  Idiot sign returned to sender. You’re done.

                  In addition, paid mercenaries violated the American constitution and disarmed otherwise law abiding citizens in areas that were not even affected by the floods.
                  You’re unable to discuss the most minor point without getting your panties in a wad. I suggest you get off the internet, it’s too stressful for you.

                  • D says:

                    Whooaaa there buddy, you are the one taking offense to all this, not me. Until you personally ask the american military to enter the slums of a major city, then your statement is nothing but opinion. “Most of them grew up there”… uh no Most of people in the slums dont graduate high school, therefore they cannot enter the military.

                    “Youre unable to discuss the most minor point without getting your panties in a wad. I suggest you get off the internet, its too stressful for you.”

                    Take a look back at the comments and see who’s the one thats taking this too seriously.

                    Any moron can state their opinion and then claim it is fact then resort to name calling when people dont agree. It takes actual knowledge to hold a meaningful argument…. something you seriosly lack.

                    “Idiot sign returned to sender. Youre done.”

                    Thats just the gayest thing I’ve ever heard. Thanks for the laugh though.

                    • Most of the single welfare mother and crack slingers don’t graduate so therefore in YOUR opinion “most of the people in the inner city slums don’t graduate”. Again your ignorance is showing.
                      Plenty do graduate and for them the military is one of the tickets out.
                      You’ve just proven to the entire board that you know nothing about the military, nothing about inner city life and nothing about the points being discussed in general. Care to highlight your ignorance some more because I will be more than happy to help.
                      Taking it too seriously? Who’s the one using the yellow paint and the broad brush on the Marines? I’d say that’s a fairly serious statement, and a bullshit statement at that.
                      Of course I take offense, and so would anyone else that has either served or who has family members who have served.

                      The only question that remains is this one.
                      In your imaginary scenario where the scared Marine goes into the inner city slums alone, is he armed like a Marine, with proper weapons and ammo or is he armed like you, with no brains, a lot of opinions on things he knows nothing about, and a mouth puckered up to kiss the ass of some of his fellow drunken gay Russian tank drivers?

                        Why dont you show me some facts… I could put up plenty like only 32% of inner city detroit students gradauate…. that would mean MOST DONT. Look it up before you open your mouth. You are only highlighting your own ignorance.

                        I have nothing againts the marines and anyone serving in the military to protect my freedom. I have never said anything bad about the armed services in particular. All my words are right above this…. What I said is that ANYONE including a well trained marine would be scared to walk into a baltimore ghetto or any ghetto, even people that LIVE in those places are scared of the violence that goes on there. I can cite you thousands of gang violence cases where people are just at the wrong place at the wrong time.

                        I can see that your comments arent the result of critical thinking just complete rage and ignorance.

    13. Now I understand why the Germans got to the gates of Moscow in 6 months and the Russians needed 3,5 years to get from Moscow to Berlin. With all that vodka, the road seemed sooooooo much longer…

    14. D says:

      Yes, we all know that russians like to drink …. if you put this into perspective, its no different from the substance abuse problems across the world, just some places prefer one substance over another. In russia its alcohol, in America its cocaine, heroin, and marijuana, in Asia its opium, and in europe its ecstacy and heroin. Compare these so called “sober” nations’ illegal drug problem with russia’s illegal drug problem and you get the other half of the coin. In my experiences with illegal drugs and drug users compared to alcohol and alcoholics, I can tell you that alcoholism is the worst. I would rather see a soceity hooked on marijuana and heroin than alcohol. But of course alcohol is the oldest which also means its the most popular form of mind altering substance and it is legal even though it is more harmful.

      This was picked up by the A.P and it was only picked up by the A.P. because it shows russia as drunk nation and the russian army as just a bunch of drunks. Just your typical anti-russian propoganda.

      so stupid comment. i thing you are one of those people who believe that orcs and elves live in New Zeland, huh?
      alright, special for you. if the russians needed 3.5 years to beat down the germans, why the europeans needed to be saved by the russians? why they didn’t do it themselves? they don’t drink vodka. so why? i think you don’t know the answer, you are fool.

      • In New Zealand you only have sheep and stupid rugby players doing funny dances.

        The rest of Europe didn’t need to be saved, they were all fighting the Russians together with the Germans. Name me one occupied country which didn’t send volunteers to the Eastern Front. There were even Swedish and British soldiers fighting there. And why couldn’t the Russians do the job of saving their country themselves? Why did they need a Gerogrian bank robber with a funny moustache for that?

    23. You said, “ask any Marine to go into any major U.S. city slums alone and they WILL be scared” and now you’re dog paddling to save your own drowning ass.
      Well, you’re not going to paddle out of this one fella.
      This entire deluded scenario of lone Marines walking the streets of Detroit belongs to your irrational mind.

      There isn’t a large city on earth that doesn’t have a slum section that rational people would hesitate to enter, and if Marines were to do so they would do so as Marines, properly equipped, with a platoon and an objective, and the streets would be sparkling in less than a week.

      Could we count on you to show up with a shovel to dispose of the corpses? Absolutely not.

      Get some fresh air, keyboard commando. The radiation from your CRT is affecting you more than the vodka you received from your gay Russian friends.

      Gotta tell you dude: You’re one arrogant dick. Your petty rag-fest is nothing short of a pathetic attempt to boost your weak ego. It really is pathetic and obnoxious. You’re a bully, that makes you not much of an American, which seems to be the point you’re trying to make. That you’re something because you’re an American. No dude, you’re a pathetic coward, because you’re a bully.

    25. D says:

      I stand by everything I said, not backing away from any of it. And I’ve proven my point so I’m done arguing with you.

      But one last thing…. please ask the national guard to come clean up philadelphia, the violence is ridiculous. And please tell them to do something about these school shootings. Three major ones in memphis just this year. Thats not including the other high profile ones across the country. Whats the homicide rate in America?, its got to be at the top… thats not related to civil wars and genocide.
